Some People Can’t
Eat Bread.
\
Bread is reputed to be the
•‘staff of life.” Yet there are
some people who never eat
bread.
We allude to this because of
a curious parallel fact in medi
cine. We recommend Vinol
and sell it on a guarantee of
money back if it does not bene
fit the user. We don’t expect
Vinol to help everybody. Yet,
strange to say, out of every one
hundred bottles sold, less than
two per cent, proved unsatis
factory. In other words, ninety-
eight out of every hundred
found Vinol of value—many of
them great value.
We want to say that if you
are run-down, weak, too thin,
ailing, with bad stomach, poor
appetite, cough, nervousness,
that we think Vinol will help
you.

CONTRACTOR AND| BUILDER.
DOMESTIC AND EXPORT.
A series of Farmers’ Bulletins Planned by
the Government Covering the Production
and Sale of Tobacco—Kinds Grown and
Climatic Couoitious for Same.
The soils of the older Gadsden county
district in the western part of the
S*ate are very different from any oth
ers which occur in Florida. They are
the characteristic ‘‘red-hand” soil of
the Lafayette formation, similiar to
those found at Wedgefield and Aiken,
S. C., which extend south through
Georgia and form some of the western
counties of Florida, with. Quincy as a
center. The soil is a light loam rest
ing on a very strong red clay. The
clay is exposed in all cuts and in the
washings of the land, and is usually
found from 8 to 18 i nches below the
surface. The country is quite rolling,
well wooded with hard wood trees,
and in the early spring it has the fresh
green appearance of the country in
the Valley of Virginia and in the to
bacco area of Pennsylvania.
Both the Caban and Sumatra type^
of fbacco are grown here, and both
are used for wrappers as well as fillers.
Unlike the imported Sumatra tobacco,
the tobacco grown in Florida from Su
matra seed loses much of its bitter
taste, while the sucker crop and in
ferior leaves are cured up with more
body and are much better adapted to
lider purposes.
The season is so longtoat two crops
of tobacco can be produced in the
same year, or two or three sucker
crops can be grown after the main cut
ting has been taken. The sucker
crop is stronger, heavier, and darker,
and is used only as a filler.
The top soil is a light loam resting
on a red-clay subsoil, and the charac
ter of the land as a tobacco soil de
pends largely upon the character of
the red-clay subsoil and its depth* be
low the surface. These lands main
tain on an average only about 8 or 10
per cent of moisture, against 20 to 22
per cent maintained by the Pennsyl
vania and the Ohio lands.
THE FLORIDA PENINSULA.
Outside of this area in western
Florida most important developments
have recently been made around
Ocala, Bartow, and Fort Meade. At
Fort Meade, particularly, there is a
well organized company of Oubans
with a large area in tobacco. The
first crop was made in 1890. The to
bacco was cured and fermen:ed ac
cording to the Cuban processes, and
without waiting to mellow with age,
as is necessary to bring out the finest
qualities of tobacco, the crop was sold
at Tampa for a very satisfactory price.
Tobacco growing on the peninsula
is essentially a new industry, and
comparatively little experience has
bo n available except what has been
collected during the season of 1897.
The industry has been developed
principally upon the post-oak lands
around Ocala, and upon the hammock
lands at Bartow and Fort Meade.
There are large areas of these soils in
the State which can be developed
through the tobacco interest, and
there is every reason to believe that
the venture will be very successful.
There is no reason to doubt that many
of the pine lands are well suited to
tobacco.
There is very little difference in the
texture of the post oak lands, the
hammock lands at Fort Meade, and
the pine lands. The difference in the
soil which causes the distribution in
the forest growth appears to be main
ly due to the difference in the water
content of the soils. The soils are all
very light and sandy. They contain
on an average less than 4 per cent of
clay and less than (} per cent of silt,
fine silt, and clay. They contain over
50 per cent of “fine sand,” so that
they are relatively rather coarse and
open. Notwithstanding this open tex
ture the hammock soil at Fort Meade
has on an average about 8 percent
of water throughout the season, which
is about as much as the tobacco lands
of the Connecticut Valley contain.
This water content, moreover, is for
some reason more uniform, and the
land can for some time without
rain with no serious injury to the
crops. Nevertheless the planters have
been greatly benefited by judicious
systems of irrigation through over
head sprays. By thus keeping the
plants continually and rapidly grow
ing the crop will mature in forty-five
days from the time the plants are set
out. On account of the length of the
season tobacco can be grown almost
continually through the year, and
crops can be set out almost every
month in the year. Usually two or
three crops are made and two or three
sucker crops are produced. There is
undoubtedly a vast area of laud in
Florida suited to tobacco, and the
climate is unquestionably favorable
for the production of a very fine quali
ty of leaf. A very intelligent method
of growing and fermenting is being
practiced, and there is no reason why
the industry should not be successful.

Very smart and youthful is this
promenade costume. Following the
general preference for rough-surfaced
goods it is made of royal-blue mixed
suiting, trimmed with velvet bands
aud with straps of beige cloth stitched
with beige Corticelli stitching silk
The Eton jacket is ornamented with
straps in box-plait effect, meeting the
cloth straps on the back and front.
The straps of beige cloth trim the
jacket in yoae effect, edge the fronts
and form the revers. The skirt is
made with two box plaits at either
side of the panel f ront, stitched down
with Corticelli silk to within several
inches of the hem, and velvet straps
trim the suit as shown.

Most of the fail jackets are finished
with a short basque fri 1 !, shaped to
fit the hips, with just the slightest
elongation in front. Some of the
fronts are bloused, much or little, as
may be most becoming to the figure,
and not infrequently this blouse ef
fect is accomplished by two box
plaits, one on either side of the front,
and in others the roiling revers are
shaped in such a manner that a
slightly bloused effect is the result.
