Better to have won and lost than never to have won at all, especially if she was one of those Pensacola becuties that Mack raves over all the time. The two DelLand papers, the News and Record, combined forces aund bought out the DeLand Register. This move serves two good ends—it places another paper in their private grave yard, and also eliminates from the State press the only advocate of the nefarious lease system. ———— Florida people are scattered all over the country from Maine to Cal- ifornia. This is not, as might be sup- posed by those unfamiliar with the character of our summers, owing to a desire to escape the weather at this season. Rather, it is an evidence of the prosperity which prevails gen- erally among the people of the State, enabling them to enjoy the pleasures o travel and the benefits which change brings to the people of any section, Another reason for the sum- mer exodus is the cosmopolitan char- acter of Florida's population. Her residents are from every State in the Union, and nearly everybody has rel- atives and friends *“back home™ whom they naturally wish to visit. No one who has spent one or more summers in Florida would leave for the north at this time of year if cli- mate were the only cousideration. A minister in a nearby town was approached by the head of a lund company, who stated that the com- pany would erect a $5,000 building on their lands and turn it over to the denomination the minister rep- resented if the latter would have a resident pastor provided. *And why al] this generosity, and where are fcur people?” said the minister. It broadcast over the country where this religion was strongest, thus rep- [secure a handsome little speck of pin vegetables are not obtainaby resenting to the prospective home- secker that there were hundreds of people of their faith worshiping at droughts throughout the far south- righ land and in Decomber this church. They would therefore be induced to yield up their coin for a first payment on a tract, later burning their bridges and coming to their new home to find it far off the beaten track and themselves tically buried. The the land company, we are glad to sey, was flatly turned down. Mis- representation is doing Florida much harm. The truth is good enough; the lands are here, both good and bad, as in %very other tSate, but it prae proposition of POULTRY .. Department . . (Edited by J. H. Wendler, Lake- land, Fla.) During the present spring and, in fact, for the last two years the poul- try business all over the United Stetes has certainly been on the beom and has been agitated not only by the daily papers, but by every poultry paper, every farm paper and nearly every farm magazine in the ceuntr. A great many articles have been written that tave had a ten- dency to make thousands of people go into the poultry business either on a large or small scale, thinking they would reap a fortune from it quick- 1y without either experience or cap- ite]. This same thing has also hap- pened in other lines of business and thousands of people have found out it could not be done, while, on the other hand, many who have paid clcse attention to this line of work, have studied the ups and downs*con- nected with it and have profited by their past experience and with judg- ment and hard work have overcome a great many of the obstacles and drezwbacks, have won out and have their business on a paying and profit- able basis. Those who have worked up their business from a small start to a point where it is now paying them will have euasy sailing in the future. There are hundreds who ex- pect too much, and in a great many cases many will drop out, on the other hand there are a great many who will start in new and go over the same experience others have had. I wish to say that without capital and experience they cannot make a fertune out of the poultry business. | It is one of the few things that re- ugire o heart for the work; in other words, it requires that sublime trin- ity of heart, head and hand and the new beginner must make up his mind that eternal diligence price of success in this as well as any other line of endeavor. This is one reason why the poultry industry will never be overdone and the sup- ply will never be sufficient to meet the demand twelve months in the year, There always are a few months it the year when most of these pro- ducts can be had at the cost of pro- duction, but usually there are nine months in the year when poultry products of all Kinds are scarce and high and yicld a large per cent of profit over cost of production, even for commercial purposes solely, and you can reasonabie expect the price of all poultry procicts to go ven considerably higher tcr the next ten years than the price they at pres- ent command. There are thousands who will give up hopes of making a fortune out of their flock cach vear, but those who remain in the business usually succeed and continue to make money out of it, and there are thousands in the business who fol- low this solely as their only vocation and have made independent fortunes out of it, and of course the longer one has been established in the busi- i ness the greater will be their trade and the less it will cost them to se- cure it.
