A weak stomach is the cause of about
nine-t tenths Of all disease, yet in most

true cause overlooked.
This Is because weak digestion pro-
duccs symptoms resembling nearly every
disease because it weakens and disturbs
the action Of every nerve and organ in the
body; poor digestion causes heart trouble,
kidney troubles, lung weakness and espec-
tally nervous break down or nervous pros
tratlon, the nerves cannot stand the wear
and tear unless generously fed by well
digestcd, wholesome food.
Keep the digestion good and no one
need fear the approach of disease.

Stylites was n class of ascetics chiefly of
Syria, who took up their abode on the
top of pillar, where they were fed by
their admirers and from which they never
descended. Among the most celebrated
are Simeon, the Stylite of Syria, and
Daniel the Styllte OF Constantinople.
Simeon spent 81 years on different pillars,

the lemon peel, and by deXterous
pressure aginst the sponge, ruptures
the Oil cells; the sponge absorbs the
oil, and dish held in the lap prevents
any being lost. When the sponge has
taken up enough of the oil to be
squeezed out, this is done, and the pro-
cess repeated over and over again.
The tediousness of the method will
be apparent when it is estimated that
about one thousand lemons are requir-
ed for the production of single
pound of oil. Oil of an inferior quail
ity is made by machine pressure, by
distillation, etc., but the principal
bulk is produced as described. The
manufacture of the oil is carried on
very largely by the peasants through
out Sicily. Every proprietor of lom-
on grove, large or small, makes oil
fruit, and sends the better class TO
market to be shipped to the various
parts of the world.
Experiments within the last few years
have proved, however, as in the case
of oil of peppermint, that large estab-

Oil of Lemon.

Although the lemon industry in the
United States has not reached any
very large proportions, yet Florida
lemons, says the International Con-
fectioner, are occasionally to be found
in the market, and Southern Califor-
mia will no doubt soon contribute. The
oil is contained in the minute cells in
the yellow rind of the fruit, and is re-
moved by hand pressure, hence the
term 'hand pressed oil of lemon"

The Soy Bean.

The SOFA, or Soy bean, Glycine his
pida, now being so largely used as
soil renewer, or green manure, is de-
scribed as follows in a recent publica
ton of the United States Department
of Agriculture: This bean Of which
there are some sixty varieties, is ma
tive of southeastern Asia, and has
been cultivated in Japan and China
for many centuries. Professor George
son, of the Kansas Agricultural Col
lege, made some experiments with the
Soy bean as long ago as 1891, and in
more recent tests carried on at several
of the experiment stations it's great
value as crop in this country has
been clearly proved. In Europe, where
successful experiments were made in
1875 and succeeding years, it has as

Of the adulteration of oil Of .emor
nothing will be said in this article, ex-
cept that while enormous quantities
of oil containing more Or less adulter-
alton are being sold, yet an absolutely
pure oil can be had at a reasonable
price, if the confectioner is willing to
pay that, but if he wants the cheap
est he can get, he must not expect the
best. What has been said about oil of
lemon will apply to oil of sweet or
ange.

leaf will always command a fancy
price, we must not forget that tobac~
co is not confined to Florida, or the
South, and that very much of the crop
will not be fancy. The price of to-
bacco ranges from five cents to So per
pound. Florida tobacco will average
rs cents to the farmer, most lucra-
tive crop indeed. One man can prob
ably care for three acres, if he be "a
hustler, worth, at five hundred pounds
per acre and IS cents per pound, the
Polk county average to farmers, $425
gross. AS two crops can be made in
a year, $3.50 gross can be expected
with good seasons. Deducting tie cost
of irrigation and fertilizers, estimated
at $500 per acre-$5O each crop leaves
$3.50 for the farmers labor and profit
for the year. This is certainly a most
handsome result from three acres.
which, with good seasons and close at
tention and industry, can be expected.
This same farmer can readily care
for, in the field, twenty acres Of cane,
or with some help in planting and
harvesting, forty acres. With no ir-
rigation, and but $40 per acre for fer
tilizers, he can confidently expect
twenty-five tons of cane per acre,
worth, as cane, $3.50 per ton. Allow
ing 81 per ton for cutting and haul
ing, would net $3.50, or $625O per acre,
giving the farmer $1,562.50 for his
years labor and profit.
Should he make his crop into syrup,
he could expect five hundred gallons
per acre from the same crop, which
can be made at a cost of 10 cents per
gallon, and should sell for 40 cents,
netting $125 per acre, after deducting
$25 ($1 per ton) for harvesting, or
$1,000 for the years work.
When we consider that cane is not
delicate plant, is not liable to disas-
ter, is as easily cultivated as corn, is
never known to fail, has an unlimited
demand at standard price for sugar,
and is confined to the extreme South,
with no rival of consequence in Amer
lea, it appears that Florida has bet
ter and more profitable crop in sugar
than in tobacco, and that Cuba's prin-
cipal industry is quite as likely to be
transferred to Florida as her much
smaller one, the cigar tobacco indus
try. While Florida has many acres
well adapted to fine tobacco, she has
a very much larger area adapted to
sugar, in the fiat woods and ham,
mocks of Polk, the hammocl<s, clay
and mart lands of st. Johns, Volusia,
and Brevard, and the millions Of acres
of rich marsh lands of Dade, formerly
inaccessible, now provided with quick
transporta ton, of which tens of thou
sands of acres are now waiting the adj
vent of the farmer and the sugar man.

The plant is an erect annual, with
branching, hairy stems, trifoliate,
more or less hairy leaves, rather in
conspicuous pale lilac or violet color
ed flowers, and broad, two to five seed
ed pods, covered with stiff, reddish
hairs. The Seeds vary in color from
whitish and yellowish to green, brown
and black, and in shape from spheri-
cal to elliptical and more or less COM
pressed. Under favorable conditions
the plant may reach height of four
feet or more.
In the extensive series of expert
ments carried on by Professor Haber-
landt in Austria-H Hungary, the plants
each bore about 200 pods and $50
seeds, and though This is probably
considerably above the average it
shows this bean to be remarkably pro-
life. The flowers are self-polliated,
so that the yield is entirely independ-
emit of insects, and this fact renders
the Soy bean free from an important
obstacle III the way o. the introduce
ton of many legumes into new re-
gions. A crop of seed is insured
wherever conditions are such as to al

tive growth and reach maturity.
