Further Facta from Florida.

(’axdler, Flokida. Dee. 15, 1888. Evitok Republican: 1 sent you a si ort tisae since, a sketch ol our trip to the Sunny South, and will now give you tnv ulea of this p.crt of Florida. This is n country of sand and pine. Candler is located on tbc Peninsula, in 29 degrees north latitude, 40 miles from the Gulf and 50 from the Atlantic Ocean. 120 feet above sea level. Florida is noted for small lakes, many ot which are muddy and filthy; not'so hery. They are clear, as crystal and as soft as snow water, all fed by springs. Oranges and lemons are the staples of this country. With proper fertilizing, they will commence bearing at four years. Mr. Rickard took me to what he called the average of his trees of ten year's setting and pointed out two that have eight boxes on each tree. He realizes $2.20 per lox. cash, clear of box or freight. CuuUlur has one railroad am| another in process of construction. Now 1 will say, as stated by the doctors here, there is no malaria here, and no one gets sick or dies here unless they bring the disease with them. This-is a great resort for invalids. A practicing physician in Brooklyn, N. Y., came to Florida nearly two years ago. He travelle 1 all qver Florida, pronounced the most of it sickly and unfit for north ern people to settle in. He came to this peninsula and stopped -some miles above Candler. He bad lung trouble and an extreme case ot hemorrhage. He new states be is a sound man. I could name many eases where the change was so satisfactory that patients refused to return north. The climate is all that could be desired; it may well be called the “Sunny South.” Roses and other flowers bloom the year round. Most all make garden here the first of December and in April, thus getting two crops in a year. A Mr. Johnson now has 12.000 cabbage plants set out, for shipping north in iVlarch. as well as other vegetables. We have been here nearly a month aud have seen one little frost, just enough to bite sweet po-

tato vines.

Tbe Indiana Farmer. The Indiana Farmer, the largest, most interesting, most practical and best weekly agricultural paper published. closes its twenty-third year with brighter prospects than at any period of its history. It has gained a national reputation as a leading farm paper and is widely read and quoted. Its editors and publishers 'are men of extended and wide experience and are ably seconded by a large corps of correspondents, practical farmers and stock raisers, who contribute articles of real and practical importance to every tfgriculturist. The farmers of Indiana ought to be proud of the fact that snch an excellent paper as Jthe Indiana Farmer is published in the state, and the fact its typographical appearance, size and general excellence, have been greatly improved within the past two years is a pretty good indication that they are giving it their hearty support. The Farmer deserves prosperity. It will, be sent one year for sl, or a sample copy will be sent free, by addressing the Indiana Farmer Co. Indianap olis - ■ ■ ■ 2t.
