on old ground that produced 60 bushels
of shelled corn the quantity was 1000
gallons of juice, equal to 200 gallons of
sirup, allowing five gallons of juice for
one. gallon of sirup.
The Early Amber did better; with it
less than four gallons of juice made one
of sirup. The net profits from sod
would be S26.25. There is no other
crop on sod that will produce $40. On
old ground 200 gallons, allowing one
half for making, would leave s35 net
per acre. You would have to get 14O
bushels of corn at % cents to make $50,
or 80 bushels of wheat at 81 to equal the
sorghum.
can not see that there is any more
expense in raising sorghum than there
is in raising corn or wheat, and each
can easily estimate the profits by the
crop he raises, and the price he gets in
his own locality. There are several as
sociations formed around the country
for the benefit of those interested in the
growing of sorghum. The meetings of
these are very well attended, and much
interest is taken by farmers generally.

An Photographed Discussion.

Mrs. McTimidy as she approached the
drug store was astonished to hear loud
voices. "What can it mean?" said
Mrs. McTimidy to herself, beginning to
tremble. The voices grew louder. Evil
IDENTITY the contention was violent. What
might not happen? There were fierce,
undistinguishable words. There might
be murder. Mrs. McTimidy peeped
in at the window, still trembling in ev-
cry limb. There indeed stood half a
dozen excited men, gesticulating in the
most vehement manner. Some of them
were even shaking their fists in the air
Mrs. McTimidy quickly withdrew. But
her curiosity still burned. She ran for
her big son. He must 60 instantly and
see what was being done in the drug
store. Something terrible was happen
ing. The big boy went promptly. Pres
emily he returned. "What-what-
what is it?'' gasped Mrs. McTimidy.
"Oh, they're having regular monkey
and parrot time,'' replied the boy.
"And what-what are they sayingp"
cried Mrs. McTimidy. "Why, they're
argyin about how to spell spedler.'
They've got two dictionaries, and the
dictionaries both spells it different.
Jimmy! but it's row!" And the boy
ran back to see how it should end.-San

The Great Southern Railway Comb
nation.

One of the notable incidents in the
stock market during the remarkable
bull movement of the last six or eight
months, says the New York San of the
10Th, has been the rise in Louisville
and Nashville stock. Less than three
years ago, when the road was purely
local, it's stock was dealt in at about 80
Last summer it sold in the neighbor-
hood of so. Gradually it has been add
ing to its system by purchases and
leases. The most important move was
the purchase by the company of con-
troll in the Mobile and Montgomery
Railroad, which gave it continuous
line from Louisville to Mobile, and en-
abled it to escape former determinations
against itself. Then large holders of
Louisville and Nashville stock bought
into the Louisville, New Albany and
Chicago Railroad. At an election for
directors of this latter company, held at
the Farmers Loan and Trust Company
in this city few days ago, the new man.
agement became apparent,a as well as the
interest of the Trust Company in
the enterprise. This acquisition
virtually gave the Louisville and Nash
vile a continuous and nearly air line from
Chicago to New Orleans. The stock,
which during December had ranged
between IS and go, rose nearly to par.
On Saturday it opened at SO and closed
II Al L
Exchange closed it vyas run up to ia 1-2
in the street, and in the evening sales
were reported at the Windsor Hotel and
other resorts of brokers at 116. The
explanation of this remarkable rise was
the announcement that the Louisville
and Nashville Company had bought
majority of the capital stock of the
Nashville and Chattanooga Company,
and with it the control of all the lines
owned or leased by that company, and
of all its contracts with other companies.
This was concluded in the Fifth Avenue
Hotel late Saturday afternoon, and by
it the Louisville and Nashville secures
the control of a system of railroads
through the South aggregating, it is
said, nearly $500 miles. The trans
action does not equal in magnitude the
Vanderbilt sale of New York Central
Railroad stock or the consolidation of
the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific
Railroads, but it has been much more
neatly and suddenly accomplished, and
displays far more strategic skill.

Ignorance Regarding Ventilation.

A gentleman while attending church
one evening found that his feet were icy
cold, SO that he had to raise them from
off the floor. Calling the attention of
the sexton to the fact, the latter said,
with some perplexity:
"Yes, we have q good many COM
plants of cold feet from others; but I
don't understand the reason why we
can't keep the church warm; we surely
have fires enough"
So saying, he pointed to register in
the floor directly behind the gentleman,
in the adjoining pew. Looking around,
the latter could see that there was q
hot fire in the furnace beneath, and vet
no heat came up. When handker-
chief was laid over the register, il
scarcely stirred. The visitor asked the
sexton,
Shave you any means of ventila-
tione"
"No, SIR"
care there no windows openp"
"None whatever"
SHOW, then, can you expect the air
to come in here II it can't get out some
where7"
There was no Responsible man was
nonplussed. "Did you ever try to
blow into q bottlep" continued the in
quirer.
"No, sir.''
"Do you think, If you did, that you
could force any more air into bottle
by blowing than was in it beforeP'
He couldn't say. Never had thought Of
it.
"Well," continued the gentleman,
You would soon find, ifyou tried, that
it was impossible, and neither can you
force air into this church through reg
lister If you don't open window or some
other orifice."
"But," the sexton demurred, "open-
ing a window would let in the cold air,
wouldn'titP"
"You just try it," was the response.
Raise some of the windows on the lee
ward side of the church, and see what
will happen"
1t was done, and instantly the hand
kerchief lying on the register rose half
way to the ceiling with the force Of the
ascending current. The sexton stood
and stared in astonishment.-Sa Sanitary

WIT AND WISDOM.


The reason why a man steals an um-
brella, says the New Orleans Picayune,
is because he does not like to GO out in

with the above. In the morning it is not
only pretty but a useful fashion for
women to snatch all their hair off the
back of the chair, where it has reposed
during the night, and wave it around
the room to chase off the flies.-Phila-

him square in the eye, and replied:

A FAITHFUL FRIEND.
stories ola Newfoundland Dog.

Our faithful friend Jet, powerful
dog, lived with us on the NavesinI
Highlands. One summer, we had q
bright little fellow who, although not in
the least vicious, yet had boys pro-
pensity to destroy and to injure and to
inflict pain. Master Willie loved Jet
dearly, and yet he would persist in tor
turing the patient dog outrageously,
striking hard blows, punching with
sharp sticks, and pulling hair cruelty.
One summers afternoon Jet was lying
on the front piazza, taking a nap, and
Willie came out and assaulted him with
a new carriage whip, which had been
left in the hall. Jet knew the child
ought not to have the whip, so he went
and called the nurses attention, as he
often did when the children were getting
into mischief or danger. But the girl
did not give heed, as she should have
done, and Willie kept on following Jet
from place to place, plying the lash
vigorously. Finding he was left to deal
with the case himself, Jet quietly laid
the young one on the floor, carefully
took a good grip in the gathers of his
little frock, lifted him clear, and gave
him hearty, sound shaking. Then he
took up the whip, trotted off to the barn
with it, came back, stretched himself
out in the shade, and finished his nap.
The young gentleman did not interfere
with him again, and ever afterward
treated him with great consideration.
Nothing delighted the dog more than
to go into the water with the young
folks, and to see the bathing-suits
brought out always put him in the high
est spirits. The children called him
"the boss of the bathing-ground," and
so he was, as he made all hands do just
as he pleased. He would take them in
and bring them out again, as he thought
fit, and there was no use in resisting
him, as he could master half-a-dozen at
once, in the water. No one could 60
beyound certain bounds, either, under
penalty of being brought back with more
haste than ceremony. But, within the
proper limits, be never tired of helping
the bathers to have good time, frolick-
ing with them, carrying them on
his back, towing them through the water,
letting them dive off his shoulders, and
playing leap-frog.
Last season there came a dear little
baby, of the third generation, to the old
house, and Jet took the infant under
his especial care from the first. He
would watch while it slept, with untir-
ing patience, jog the cradle if it stirred,
and call the nurse if it cried or needed
attention. Nothing pleased him more
than to be left alone with the little one,
and, in the course of the summer, his
faithful care was rewarded by responsive
affection. The baby learned to love
him, and would crow and COO to him
every morning with unmistakable de-
