Cuban Fruit Said to be Extremely

Tending the horticultural editor of the

strawberry. And this reminds me that
strawberries do very we'll in the archi-

Plums of one species do we'll. and we have
berries that are almost the exact coun-
terpart of currants. cherries and goose
berries. Melons grow easily enough.
But when we leave countries like the
United States behind is when we come to
such things as the breadfruit, the banana,
the jackfruit and the mango. What would
the farmers of the United States give for
a fruit valuable the breadfrut? Con-

a downright shame that the President OF
the United States wishes 10 prevent the
culture of these dainty things by giving
an extra fllip to the culture of the sugar
cane. That is precisely what he wishes
TO do, for there is no denying the antag-
onism of the sugar planters to the culture
of fruit. Many planters owning and oper-
ating thousands of acres have little or no
fruit on their tables, for they are opposed
10 its culture. They say fruit culture, with
such things as yams, sweet potatoes. tan
niers and corn, would mean the total
wreck of the sugar industry. And so it
would, because the laborerS would soon

ELECTRICITY IN FARMING.

Worlds Work.

In the application of electricity to every
day work Germany has, perhaps, gone fur
Their than any other nation Electricity
heated and operated cooking and laundry
apparatus is in common use there, but the
most striking single development Is the
electrical farm. Take, for example. Pro-
lessor Backhaus's estate. near Quednau. In
eastern Prussia, which is only one or
large number of German estates run By
electricity.
The Ouednau farm covers $50 acres and
its dairy handles 900 gallons OF milk daily.
Every part of this farm is lighted by cleo
trcity and is in telephone communication
with every other part The dairy has an
electrical churn; the barn contains cleo
trically-operated feed and carrot-cutting
machines and even the grindstone is turned
by a small belt from the shaft connected
with the barn motor. The water pumping
apparatus is run by electricity; all the
buildings are lighted by incandescent
lamps. and there is an electrical pipe light
er at the doors of all the houses. This farm
has also it's own thrashing and grist mill.
the machinery of which is turned by a cur
rent from the miniature central station,
and finally there is small sawmill, which
gets its power from the same station. on
the farm are all kinds OF electrical agri-
cultural machines. including an automo-
bile plow all run by batteries charged from
substations In the fields.
The power for all these various opera
tions-lighting, heating, telephones, churn-
ing, cutting, grinding. pumping. thrashing
ami sawing-comes from a ffty-horse-power
stationary engine moving two dynamos.
From this station the power is distributed
to the parts OF the farm, and the switch
board is so plainly marked that the COM

 The complicated female organism is so delicately adjusted as to be easily thrown out of balance. AS a result, health and strength are affected by divers diseases. Motherhood, family, society all levy such drains upon her strength that most women break under the nervous tension. The demands upon her nervous strength are much greater than similar demands of the opposite sex. Hence she must be sup piled in greater measure with the ele- ment-iron-that gives strength. The reason woyiien feel tired and worn out and,spfsr from headache, pains in the Jack and limbs, etc, is because they have used up theil supply of iron; Menstruation trouble is largely caused by lack of iron.
