Editor The Advertiser: Ab I sit at my window and gaze out across the orange groves laden with gulden fruit and putting on a new growth, in preparation for the fragrant blossoms that open in February, 1 wonder If old Laurens Is really wrap ped In snow. Someone wrote me that you had had a snow, and that Icicles wore banging from the trees. I try to imagine how everything looks up there, but the banging Icicles are re placed by huge Btredmers of Spanish moss swaying gently in the light breeze, and the warm sunshine of wln I ter drives from my mind's eye the threatening snow clouds and the keen, biting wind. Vet Florida is not all sunshine and flowers, asfV/e often read. 1 have been down here six weeks and think, that it has rained at least half of the time: something unusual the old settlers tell me. As is probably known, Florida has a wet season during July, August nnc* September, then during the rest of the year only occasional showers. But as yet, the rains are holding on with the tonacltv of a turtle; and the gen oral question ia "When will they rpilt?" Then too. an occasional freeze happens here In Polk County, which is about two hundred and twenty-live miles be low Jacksonville. Only one light frost has occurred so far. and part of the vines were still growing In brother's potato patch when he had them plow ed up since Christmas. The old set lers predict a very mild winter, but I rather guess they are liable to get fooled some fines. At any rate, the orange growers are talkng no chances, and are placing oil burners or piles of wood at Intervals through their groves and will bs ready to fire them on short net Ice. This Is my second visit to Florida. My fust vh it^ lasted only a few days, and this time I came for my health. Consequently I have not seen as much of the country as I would like to nor am I very well acquainted with Jive stock and farm conditions. 1 no tice that boys corn clubs are being organized, but I hear nothing of coun try affairs or stock shows that are so common In South Carolina, and that have done so much to put our state in the foremost ranks as an agricultural state. One drawback to stock raising In Florida is tick fever. I suppose that something is being done by the state to eradicate the ticks, but as Florida has no fence laws, you can see what a proposition the individual stock raiser is up against. Though with propar care I believe that stock raising or dairying could be made a profitable business. .\"o expensive barns for wintering are necessary, while an abundance of hay can be made from the velvet bean and the beggar weed. Then too dairy pro ducts and dairy cows are such a fancy price Putter sells at forty-five cents pro- pound while the average dairy cow is never sold for less than one hundred dollars. The Irrigated truck farm is one of the ; . t Interesting things that I have yet seen. 1 refer to the overhead irrigation which Is unheard of in our part of the county. The system is simple but expensive. It costs on an average of three hundred dollars per acre to install the plant, but after once placed, 1 don't see why it should not last indefinitely. Briefly speak ing, the system consist.-; of an artesian well, a gas engine, and a pump to which is connected the pipes that dis tribute the water over the field. The main pipe, which is from four to ten I Inches In diameter, extends the whole length of the field Then }.t intervals Of about thirty feet smaller pipes rad iate nt right angles from the main pipe and extend across the field. The latter pipes have small holes every few Inches which allow the water to es cape in a fine spray. Jt the piping Is placed on posts about ten feet high there Is ample room underneath to cul tivate the crop and at the same time be assured of a bountiful supply of water. The farmers sav that the problem now isnot how to mako tho vegetables, but how to sell them. Last year the market was so overcrowded with cab bage that many of the farmers sold only a car or two from their whole farm. To prevent such a state of af fairs again some of tho wide-awake truckers are contemplating putting in canning factories and In this way use up nil vegetables that are not shipped. Cabbage, lettuce and strawberries are the principal crops growing now. Some aro just planting out their cabbage, while others have the bcglning to head. How does soventy-flvo cents a quart for strawberries strike you? That is what they aro soiling for now. From what I have seen of Florida so far I think that I may safely say (hat it Is a land of great opportunities for the man who is willing to work. Understand, the work Is not as hard as It is on the farms of our country, but at the samo time it is work. And Florida Is growing. Not'only do thous ands of tourists turn their money loose here, but people are moving in from all parts of the United States and clearing up the swamps and pine woods. . Truck farms are absorbing the cypi'OJS and palmetto swamps, and the orange groves nre fast taking the place of the huge lone lotff pines. Polk County Is the homo of the peb ble phosphate that is used so exten-, slvely in the manufacture of fertili zers. In my next letter 1 will tell something about the great beds of rock that were deposited ae,es ago and that are now furnishing employment for thousai (is of people, .lesse T.

The cause of Rhe matlsm and kin dred diseases is an excess of uric aeld in the blood. To euro this terri ble disease this acid must be expelled and tho system so regulated that no ; more acid will formed in exces sive quantities. Rheumatism is an In ternal disease and requires an Inter nal . medy. Rubing with Oils and Liniment will not cure, affords only, temporary relief at best, causes you to delay the proper treatment, allows the malady to get a firmer hold on you. Liniments may ease the pain, but they will no more cure Rheumatism that paint will change the fibre of rotten wood. Science has at last discovered a perfect and complete cure, which Is called "Rheumaclde." Tested in hun dreds of cases. It has effected the most marvelous cures: we believe It will cure you. Hheumacide "gets at the joints from the inside." sweeps the poisons out of the system, tones up the stomach, regulates the liver and kid neys and makes you well all over. Rheumaclde "strikes the root of the disease nnd removes its cause." This splendid remedy is sold by druggists a..J dealers generally at 50c and $1 a bottle. In t .biet ' rin at 25 and 50o a package.
