OUR MOST IMPORTANT
PROBLEM.

Statistics show that there are $4,000
square miles of practically abandon
ed farms in New England, New York
and the southwest and middle central
states They show that there are in
the United States at present 10000
900 acres of practically abandoned
farm land. an area as large as the
cultivated part OF the Canadian north
west, or twice the size of the state
of Massachusetts,. In my opinion. II
overshadows in importance the tariff,
the regulation Of corporations and all
other questions of public policy. and,
while these important subjects should
not be lost sight OF, this great ques-
ton of the conservation, Improve
ment and intelligent cultivation OF the
soil OF the nation should be given
first place. Between 1880 and 1900
farming acreage in New York had de-
creased more than per cent, inn
proved acreage had decreased more
than II per cent, unimproved acreage
more than 10 per cent and farm land
had decreased per acre at the rate
OF more than IL per cent. While
most OF the immigrants that come to
this country go into sweatshops or
into Industrial work of one kind and
another, Canada reported last year
that 1878 OF Americas best farm
ing people had left the country for
Canada, carrying with them SAL ,000,-
000.-Leslie's weekly.

ELECTRICITY PASSES FOOD.

One of the interesting devices in
the wonderful electric house OF Mr..
George Knapp, In Paris. France, is
the means by which dishes are made
TO appear on the table.
The chef prepared each dish In its
proper order and has 1t ready and
waiting on a tray. When the host
and his guests are seated at the
table, the former touches a button
and the electrically operated trap ar
rives through a trap door In the top
Of the table. When closed, this trap
looks like two ordinary silver covers
on the table. BY pressing another
button the tray, with It's dish is car
ried around the central portion of the
table. As the dish arrives in front
OF each guest the host touches q third
button which stops II while the guest
is helping himself. The dish passes
all around the table in this way, and
then, on again pressing the first but
ton, IL disappears through the table
and returns to the kitchen.-Popular
Mechanics.
