Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Wash
ington, Oregon and California, showed
the enormous increase of 514 per cent,
but these states gained 2O7 per cent in
population, so that their gain per cap
tia was SO instead of 514 per cent.
They are now gaining very little.
The South Atlantic states, Begin
ming with Delaware and ending with
Florida and including West Virginia,
which does not touch the sea coast,
gained 40 per cent and the South Cen
trail states, consisting of Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Tennes-
see, Kentucky, Arkansas, Oklahoma
and Missouri, gained 70 per cent. No
southern state except Delaware sus-
tanned a loss.
Between 1870 and 1890 the north
and west gained 40 per cent and has
since then ceased to grow. The
south gained 60 per cent and has
since then taken on a new growth.
Florida gained $50 per cent, North
Carolina gained $50 per cent. South
Carolina gained 100 per cent. No
other state east of the Mississippi, ex-
cept these three southern states gain
ed as much as 100 per cent. Florida
gained 403 per cent per capita. No
state east of the Mississippi gained
one-third as much, and no state or
territory in the Union, except Mon
tana, Wyoming, Arizona, Nevada and
Idaho, showed such gain, and they
did only because they were almost to-
tally uninhabited 1870.
Nowhere in the United States has
the person who desires to purchase
land the prospect of such an increase
in value as is promised in Florida. No
state in the Union is now more stead
lily and more rapidly advancing.-Cit-
izen.

Florida's Progress.

No sane man can doubt that the
south is the coming section for the
farmer. Within the last five years she
has taken on a new growth, and yet
during the twenty that preceded it the
south gained much more heavily than
the north in agricultural values.
During the twenty years between
1870 and 1890 the North Atlantic states
consisting of New England with New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
lost "a per cent in farm values. In
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania the value of farms
was less in 1890 than in 1870. Only in
Massachusetts and Rhode Island was
it greater.
In the North Central states, con-
sisting of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wis
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebras-
ka and Kansas, the increase was "a
per cent, but this was largely caused
by enormous increases in Iowa, Min
nesota, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska and Kansas. These states are
not now increasing in agricultural
values and during the decade which
will end three years hence this divi-
sion will show no increase. Between
1870 and 1890 farm values declined in
Ohio.

Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New

The Way to Keep Cool.

Pores are numbered by the thou
sands and are situated everywhere.
They clog up like sewer, and there
fore should be flushed out by plenty
of cool water taken internally and by
plenty of wash water applied exter-
nally. This will keep up free evapo-
ration, and evaporation is the theory
of artificial ice-making.
Another means of aiding the sys-
tenn to keep cool is to reduce the guam
tity of heat-producing foods These
consist of starches, sugars and fats.
Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables with
juices and of lean meats as little as
possible. A third thing to be attended
to in keeping comfortable is plenty of
sleep and plenty of quiet exercise. The
tax upon the system is great.
Undertaking, rather than overfeed-
ing, is recommended. Ice-cold water
is dangerous. It instantly stops di-
gestion. Cool water-pure as it is pos
sible to GETS the thing. Follow
these suggestions, say the best au-
thorities on hygiene, and the hot
weather will not make life unbear-
able.-Selected.

One of the many persons in Columbus,
Ohio, who have been benefited by the use of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People is
Miss Jerusha Mckinney, of so South Centre
Street. Miss Mckinney is we'll and favorably
known, especially in educational circles, as she
has been for number of years, faithful and
progressive school teacher
For some time she has been very i'll and the
sufferings and tortures endured by her for
months have been unusually severe.
The tale of her sufferings and the subse-
quent relief and final cure which she derived
from the of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, aroused considerable agitation
among her many friends and others.
A reporter detailed to obtain reliable
account of this marvellous case, and when he
called he found Miss Mckinney at her COM
Portable and cozy home where she cheerfully
complied with his request. She said:
"The first indication that I had that any
thing radically wrong with was about
three years ago. I suffered the most excruci-
atng pains in different parts of my body and
was almost crazed at times. My sleep was
disturbed by horrible dreams and had begun
to waste away to almost shadow. To add
to my an1ctons the malady assumed ca
tarrhal turn and I was soon victim to that
horrible as well as disgusting disease. [ con-

thus cut down the guava will be bear
ing again as heavily as ever. 1t has
been demonstrated by the most sue
cessful growers on the Lake that this
is a fact.
It is not wise to let the guava reach
tree growth if fruit is the desider-
alum. This quadrennial cutting back
keeps the tree bushy and all the sus-
tenance absorbed from the soil goes
to fruit growth rather than to make
wood.
Then the question of a market is
feature so much in favor of the extern
sive culture of this fruit. The lead
ing jelly-maker of the state wants all
the guavas that can be raised here
and comes here himself each year to
purchase the fruit right where it is
grown, paying a remunerative price
therefor and relieving the growers Of

Grow Guavas.

Why more attention is not given to
the culture of guavas in Dade is a
matter of surprise to all who have CIV
Ell the subject even a little consider
alton.
To start with, this fruit is one of
the easiest grown and one Of the
quickest to respond with full crop
of any indigenous to this section.
Two years from the root gives bush
in splendid bearing, while one year
will show some fruit.
Again, while it is susceptible to cold,
the late freeze-historic in Florida
demonstrated one great fact to grow
ers of this fruit, viz: That the best
results are obtained when the tree is

Budding Cloth.

AS the season for budding seems to
be still on, the following method Of
fered by Number Nine, of Ormond,
Fla, who is an authority on such mat
terS.
Take five pound lard pail, or any
two quart pail, put in beeswax and
pitch, or beeswax and resin, enough,
when melted to fill the pail two thirds
full, and set on a slow fire, and while
melting prepare your cloth thus:
Take three yards of cheap calico, the
starch having been washed out, and
with a pair of scissors notch across
the end of the cloth the width you
wish your budding strips, simply cut
into the cloth quarter of an inch.
Now tear the whole piece up into
strips, having six of these started
strips in each. Take piece of broom
handle eight inches long, by this time
your wax is melted, dip the end of the
broom handle into the hot wax take
the end not notched, of one of the
strips of cloth and wind on the end of
the broom handle that is waxed
When that is wound begin another,
but first drop a little wax on the end
of the strip last wound to hold it in
place, and prevent the next strip from
slipping. Continue this till all are
wound and you will have roll that
will fit nicely into your pail of hot
wax. Hold the roll in the wax till it
stops bubbling, that indicates the air
is all out, and the wax is in. [ gen.
orally hold it in the wax about ten
minutes, but do not have your wax
too hot or it will burn the cloth; have
it not quite to a boil. After taking
it out hold it in your hand in a cool
place for a short time, turning it oc,
casionally. If you like you can put
two rolls close together on the same
stick. Pin or tie the end of the last
strip. Now you have your cloth in
shape ito tear up as you wish it, with
out it's getting covered with sand or
sandspurs, or your knives or breeches,
and lit will last for months without
drying up.
In year, if it gets hard, dip it in
the hot wax again and it is o. k.
