THE BUTTERCUPS UP TO DATE. 



On page 446 an inquiry is made in regard to the 

 Buttercups. At the present time I can not say 

 that I have found them to be better layers than a 

 good strain of White Leghorns. They are hand- 

 ■some to look at and to show to visitors, especially 

 the best-marked specimens; but as yet in a rtock of 

 birds there is considerable variation in color and 

 markings. They are gentler than the Leghorns, 

 but I am afraid the chicks are not as hardy and as 

 easy to raise. I should be very glad indeed to get 

 reports from others who have given the Buttercups 

 a trial. 



GARDENING IN THE SUMMER TIME IN SOUTHERN 

 FLORIDA. 



In discussing this subject on p. 447 I failed to say 

 that sweet potatoes grow any time and all the time 

 —especially if there is rain enough. Another thing, 

 if you remember, I told you a year ago that my 

 neighbor .Kbbott had a patch of lima beans growing 

 up on poles, and these vines were yielding good big 

 pods, filled with most delicious beans, all through 

 .July and Ausust. I think the beans were planted 

 some time in January. But they just kept right on 

 giving nice plump beans, winter and summer, and 

 so many of them that he sold them at the grocery, 

 and got good prices for them too. 



'THE CROWN OF DIAMONDS AND THE CROWN OF 

 THORNS." 



In our last issue, when I offered to send these free 

 of charge I forgot that the postage would be about 

 10 cts. for each 100 coiues. A lot of the friends, how- 

 ever, have been kind enough to remind me that, if 

 1 furnish the leaflet free, they can well afford to pay 

 the postage. I am glad they are going off rapidly 

 by tht- 10"s, '/'5's, and many orders are for 100 copies. 

 Now, if you feel inclined you may send postage at 

 the rate of 10 cts. per 100. But do not neglect to 

 scatter them abroad on account of the postage. We 

 are especially anxious that the vife of every brewer 

 or nuloon-keever shall have one of these leaflets. 

 Will you help spread them throughout our nation? 

 Nothing would please me better than to have a 

 million copies called for. The great Father above 

 will see that I get m.v pay for the postage, printing, 

 and paper. I may not get it b-ick in dollars and 

 cents, but I shall get it back in something of far 

 greater \alue than silver and gold that belong to 

 this world, for .Jesus said, "Every one that hath 

 forsaken lands, . . for my sake, shall receive now 

 in this present time a hundredfold, and shall inherit 

 everlasting life."

 any other make now. They are well worth the extra they 

 cost. A. W. O.
