With regard to the feeding value of
dry sweet corn, as compared with COM
mon corn, the american Cult5U0tor
says we need not expect that it will
prove more valuable than ordinary
corn. The two, as feed, are much
more nearly alike than would be
thought, the sugar in one being chemi-
cally identical with the starch in the
other. Both are fattening, rather than
fiesh-forming foods. and, as sweet corn
weighs less than the other, it is proba-
bly, less valuable per bushel as feed.
The starch in field corn is converted in
to sugar in the stomach as part of the
process of digestion. Most kinds of
stock soon learn to like sweet things.

The Desire to Operate Large Tracts of

The glamour which but recently sur
rounded the ownership and manage
ment of large farms devoted exclusive
" to wheat growing is of late being
rapidly dispelled, by the discovery that
such enterprises are not profitable, and
sooner or later involve the owner in a
maze of disaster. Farmers who have
sold out good farms in the heart OF the
GREAT grass and corn belt of central
latitude, and rushed off several hum
dred miles northward to engage in
wheat growing exclusively, in climate
of much greater severity than they were
accustomed to, where the reign of win
ter begins early and hangs on late. are
fast finding out that there is dark as
we'll as a bright side to the picture their
Imagination had painted. Numbers of
candid well qualified business men. who
have thoroughly tried to coin money out
of wheat growing. plainly acknowledge
their disappointment in the attempt.
and are not slow to state that a new
system must be inaugurated before
wealth, except in a limited number of
individual cases, will flow into the
pockets of husbandmen in the much

CAVALRY SERVICE.

why This Branch of the Service Is fre-
ferred by Cadets.
what branch of the service is most
popular with the graduates OF the
schooI?'
"Well. l think the ea7alry is the most
souo hit after now. 1t used to be the
artillery, hut of late the conditions
have changed and the cavalry is more
popular
How have the conditions changedP'
''ln this way: In the artillery few
die and none resign. Now, in the cav
airy service on the plains, hard work,
exposure. Indian fighting, and that sort
OF thing kills them off more rapidly"
And do you mean to say that tn 5
makes the cavalry service the more
popular? Do the mil .tary cadets SO
long for death that they have to court
it in this wayP'
''Oh. no. You don't understand at
all. They court promotion, not death;
and when they see a service in which
officers are dying off ahead of them
very fast, they see that that is the one
for them, for their chances of promo
ton are much better there; and that is
largely what the army officer lives for.
you know -
why was the artillery more popular
heretoforep''
Probably because it is considered a
higher grade of the service. There are
more things to learn in preparing for
the artillery service, and it is consid-
cred higher rank of the service. So
it happens that men who pass highest
often get this service. This, perhaps,
made it the most popular rank former
ly, because all students observed that
the brightest men went into it.-H'esi

YUCATAN MARRIAGE RITES.

Meaning of the Terms Used in the Queer
Ceremony.
In his lecture before the Long Island
Historical Society, Mrs. LIE Plong re-
lated the following interesting pro-
gramme for marriage ceremonies in
Yucatan:
The ancient marriage rites are very
interesting. On her wedding day the
Indian maiden, like her fair sister. dons
the best she can procure, sometimes
borrowing or hiring dress, as well as
plenty of laces and baubles. After the
ceremony of the church is over, she re-
turns to the house of her childhood.
Eight days having elapsed. those who
gave her in marriage take her to the
house of her husband, whose father
then scatters cocoa beans over the floor
for the numerous guests to gather.
They seem to have forgotten the mean
ing of this. but it may be symbolical of
the hospitality that young couple should
offer to all friends, for cocoa was cur
rent even before the Spanards arrived.
while chocolate made from cocoa
was IN ancient times, as it is
now, the favorite beverage throughout
the country. When the cocoa is gath
cred the young couple kneel ON mat
and the mother of the br degroom
blesses them. the father repeating the
blessing. This does not consist of lay
ing the hands on the head, but in
sprinkling water on them with a twig
of rue. After the blessing more cocoa
is scattered. then they put in the mouth
of the bride and groom mixture of
toasted corn. quite bitter, and honey.
The mixture is called '::kux," and its
use is symbolical. Kux means disgust,
annoyance. anger, from which no one
in any state of life can hope to be alto
gether exempt. and the honey repre-
sents the sweetness of happy union.
The use of the rue has also its mean
ing, for the Indians are well aware of
the medical property of the plant. But
the Indians now hide themselves to OBJ
serve old rites, and those who wish to
have chance of seeing them must go
to remote places, where travellers are
likewise attracted by the temples and
palaces, remains of once f1ourishing
cites that are scattered over the PEN
insula and hidden beneath dense for

THE WIFE MAY PAY THE BILL


The General Term of the New York
City Court has just rendered an opinion
holding that q wife has right to assume
the responsibility of paying her husbands
as we'll as her own board at q hotel, and
that on the other hand she may be held
to it. The presumption is that the hus-
band is liable for the bill. But the hotel.
keeper may show that the husband was
im~pecunious and that credit was given to
the wife. in which case her property may
be detained for n~on.payment.
Here is what Chief Justice McAdam.
who wrote the opinion, says on the sub.
ject: 1--WE cannot imagine why q wife
with credit cannot take her husband,
who has none, to a hotel, and in order to
procure board and shelter for her family
arrange that she, and not the impecuni.
Gus husband. shall pay the bills. If this
were not so, . wife, however wealthy.
might find it difficult to find rooms in a
hotel simply because her husband was
unfortunate enough to be i~mpecunious.
These observations are made simply &c
show that the rulings made at the trial
might lead to the impracticable results
suggested"

T.gE STANDINa ARMY.

Major General Schoield, commanding
the Division OF the Missouri, says in his
annual report that his force, in round
numbers. consists of 9, 500 infantry. 5000
cavalry and $50 artillery, aggregating
5000 men. They occupy sixty-fve diff
ferent stations, giving an average OF 23l
men at each. He has the following to
say about the means necessary to prevent
great destruction Of life and property by
savage Indians:
The Indians are well mounted, having
several ponies to each man; well armed,
and abundantly supplied with ammuni-
ton. Being trained from early child
hood, they are excellent horsemen and
expert marksmen, equal in these respects
to the best regular troops in the world.
1t is manifestly impossible to perma.
nently overawe and hold in subsection
such bodies OF savages by the show Of
any force far inferior to them in num-
bers. Nothing short of the immediate
presence of a superior force can be relied
upon to restrain the Indians from out.

the fact, that while our present force can

But when the country has constant daily

midst. it is extremely unwise to limit
the Army to its present strength. As
well might the great cities of the country
limit their police force TO one.half that

sary for daily service, with no reserve
