Corn and Wheat Lands
Demorest's Monthly.

Demorest's Monthly.
Land suitable for growing corn in
creases in value yearly, and is much
more desirable to own than wheat lands.
Wheat can be raised on nearly all
kinds of soil and in nearly every part
of the earth, but the United States has
practical monopoly of corn, as it has of
cotton, hence in the markets of the
world it does not meet the COMPETE
ton as wheat. Last year we raised
1,800,000,000 bushels of corn. If
every bushel YVES sold it would net our
farming class, takings the year through,
probably 40 cents bushel; that is,
over $500, 900, 900; but this does not
tell the whole story, for corn is fed to
hogs and cattle and used in manufac>
lures, and as pork, meal, whiskey,
glucose, bring oyer two thousand mil
lion dollars in the market of the coun-
try. is, in fact, by far the most i'm.
portant of our agricultural products,
grass and hay perhaps excepted. We
harvested 512,OOO,OOO bushels Of
wheat last year, but it brought so low
a price, due to the competition ofother
countries, that our farmers suffered
heavy losses, and less wheat but fal
more corn will be grown next year.
Those who think of buying land fol
farming purposes would do well to SEE
if it is suitable for growing corn, for il
it is there is far greater chance for ar
advance in value than if is fitted only
for the small grains.

The Future of Electricity.

Demorest's Monthly.
A writer in Chambers Journal
thinks that the use of electricity will
work wonderful and unexpected
changes in the near future. IL would
be the means of converting the waste
forces of nature into an available form.
Its supply of force is incomparably
greater than all the coal fields of the
world could furnish. One eminent in>
ventor already lights his house with
electricity derived from the water
power of small stream some furlongs
distant. 1t would be just as easy to
apply that power to work sewing
machines, lifts, sawpits, or a local
railway. The smallest waterfall, the
force of an utterly neglected stream,
could furnish half a dozen households
with motive>power sufficient for all
domestic purposes to which machinery
could be applied. The Thames could
light London, and have force yet to
spare for all the machinery of every
factory on its banks. Another i'm.
portant point in the promise if not the
performance of electricity is the power
of storage. We cannot store up steam
or wind or sun>heat in their native
form; but each of them may be made
the source of electricity that can be
stored. Boxes of electric force or
iginally supplied by coal or water
power, or it might be by the tide or by
the sails of windmill, can furnish
light to household, motive-power tt
tricycle. or sewing-machine. Al
yet the power of storage is inconven'
lently limited; that is, the boxes are
inconveniently large and heavy. Blu
electricians expect to find means O.
storing a very much larger power il
very much smaller bulk. When thi
is done, locomotive, boat, a cor
riage, or a a tricycle. can be supplied
at starting with a portable motive
power of of amount capable Of driving
it for so many hours an ascertainec
speed. Among the benefcent result
to be brought about by the use o
electricity is its possible use in isolate,
households. The employment of steam
has brought about our factory system

Growing Healthier.
Demorest's Monthly,

Demorest's Monthly.
A physician, who is an expert in
such subjects, declares that the we'll
educated, well.to.do young women of
this generation are far healthier than
were their monthers and grandmothers.
This is due, it is claimed, to the out
door games, the better food, and the
greater freedom accorded to women in
these days. Athletic exercises have
now become the fashion with young
men, The present race of Americans
enjoy far more open-air exercise than
did their fathers, and the better for it.
Girls have naturally initiated their
brothers, and their croquet and lawn
tennis, which are open>air games, have
helped to develop physical strength in
the future mother of the country. There
has been some doubt as to whether the
rooler-skate mania has benefited young
women physically but even that eX,
ercse is preferable to dancing at late
hours, and it certainly develops some
at least of the muscles of the lower
part of the body. But the fact re
mains that our girls are stronger and
heartier than their mothers; they are
more intelligent also, and it has be-,
come the fahsion for young ladies to
belong to societies and to be interested
in charitable and church work, which
gives them an interest in life and fur
nishes occupation which is wholesome
to both body and mind. Their short
comings are in the matter of diet. The
American girl even now eats too much
cake and candy, and cannot be made
to understand that sweetmeats and
condiments are detrimental to health.
But so much progress has been made
that perhaps in time our young wo-
men will discard their dietary errors
aud confne themselves to food which
will develop muscle, enrich the blood,
and increase the horsepower. The
fathers and mothers of the next genera
ton will transmit to their children
stronger bodies than they received
from their parents.

Sanitariums.

DemOrest's Monthly.
The facilities of modern travel have
enabled the sick and ailing to seek
climates which benefit them, and now
tens of thousands of people 60 to Flor
ida and the pine woods of the South,
to Minnesota, Colorado, California, and
Europe, to rid themselves of disorders
they cannot shake off at home. 1t is
found that even for consumptive pa
tients, benefit is derived from the sea
air of cold regions. All winter long
houses and hotels properly prepared
are kept open along the Jersey coast
from Long Branch to Cape May for
invalids who are benefited by the cold
salt sea air. Some day great artif-
cial sanitarium will be built near one
of our large cities. 1t will be an in
closure OF glass OF vast extent IN which
will be found compartments, the atmos-
pheres of which will reproduce the
health.giving airs of Florida, California,
Colorado, or Italy. 1t is within the
resources of modern science to create
artificial conditions similar to the health
resorts found in different climates. A
hundred years from now our descend
ants will wonder why we sent our
loved ones when sick to distant coun-
tries to improve their health while it
was possible to bring into existence
artificial sanitariums near the great
cities that would offer the same advan,
tages.

and has led to a concentration of popu>
lation in large cities, But electrical
power is divlsible, and can be used
economically in smaller quantities;
hence its tendncy will be to distribute
rather than concentrate population. AS
yet we can scarcely conceive the mighty
changes that will be brought about not
only in the industrial arts but to social
conditions of mankind due to the use
of electrical power.

Cancer Cured.

Mrs. Oliver Hardman, an old resi-
dent Of Walton county, and a lady of
culture and prominence, has this to
say of the treatment of cancer with
Swift's Specific:
Over fifteen years ago a cancer
made its appearance on my face. 1t
was treated with plasters, and the
core came out. The place healed up
after some time, and seemingly my
face was well. However, in a few
years it returned again with more
violence than ever. 1t gave me
great deal of pain. The former rene
dy seemed to do it no good. Know
ing the disease to run in the family,
having had one sister to die with
cancer, became seriously apprehen-
sive of my condition. 1t continued
to increase in size and virulence. |
almost gave up all hope of ever being
cured. The physicians advised the
use of the knife and caustic. This
was more than could bear, and re-
fused to have it operated upon in
that way. All other remedies were
used, but the cancer continued to
grow worse. The pain was eXcrucia-
ting, and my life was burden. In
this extremity my son, DR.. Hard
man, recommended me to try Swift's
Specific. 1t was the last resort, but |
was so prejudiced against the use of
patent medicines, and especially this
one, that hesitated some time. At
last l gave my consent, not believing
there was any virtue in it. The first
bottle only increased the size of the
sore and the discharge from it, and
hence did not inspire me with any
hope. On taking the second bottle
there was signs of improvement, and
my faith strengthened just in proper
ton to that improvement. The spot
on my face began to decrease, as well
as the discharge, and hope sprang up
in my heart. Could it be, l asked
myself, that was at last to be re-
lieved of this disease? 1t has given
me so many dark hours in the past
that the idea of being well again al
most overpowered me. There was a
contest between hope and fear for a
long time. 1t was a long night of
weeping, but joy came with the
morning. There is nothing left to
mark the place but a small scar, and
1 feel that it is impossible for me to
express my gratitude for this great
deliverance. 1t is wonderful medi-
cine. Mrs. OLIVER HARTMAN,

Prohibition Elsewhere.

Demorest's Monthly.
1t is a notable fact that, in addition
to what is going on in civilized coun>
tries, there is movement against liquor
in some of the uncivilized countries OF
the earth, Madagascar, only half a
century out of barbarism, rigidlys pro-
hibits the importation, manufacture,
and sale of alcoholic liquors. The
African Trading Company of Zambezi,
a native corporation, will not allow
liquor to be transported in their ships.
This because of its dreadful effects
among barbarous and semi.civillized
people. 1t is one of the scandals and
shames of Christendom, that the com
merce of Europe carries liquor to all
the uncivilized nations, and to thi,
cause, more than any other, is due the
degradation and gradual disappearance
of once happy and healthy races.
