and happier still when the horn Lows

swcrs the horn with n cheerful bray. ~
is astonishing how much sense an OLD
farm mule has got. | knew one that
when il was most dinner time kept one

when he was coming back. One day 1

what Beck would do. She was ut the
end of the row. and it took the darky
ten minutes to make her turn round ana

see the darkics when summer rain
comes up. They will plough on until
the shower comes. and then mount ana
lope home and get wet all over, and by
that time the rain is over and they have
Ito on back again. The darky takes
rnCre " re of his head than his feet. He
Ion't waut his head TO get wet or cold.
He sleeps with his head TO the fire and
covers il up good. and lets his feet stick
out any way. lie will warm his hands
before he will his toes. There is one
thing that a darky can do better than

The Experiments Entirely Successful.

Washington dispatch: Last year tho
department OF agriculture began TO expert
ment in small way at Ottawa, Kas., with
the diffusion sugar making process as APP
piled to sorghum. Instead Of crushing the
cane, as in the sugar-making process, IL was
shaved into minute slices and the sucrose,
or sugar-yielding sap, extracted by streams
OF water The results obtained were so
satisfactory that the field OF operation was
removed to Fort Scott this year, and with
a largely increased plant the experiments
are in progress on scale OF some magni-
tude. To-day IL telegram was received
from Prof. Wiley, chemist Of the depart
ment who is in charge OF the works, an
nouncing the complete success OF the exper-
iment. The telegram states that syrup has
been obtained from sorghum cane OF light
color and good flavor. There was q com
plete extraction OF sucrose in six OF the cells
OF the battery. Commissioner Coleman il
very much pleased at the result OF the ex.
periments, and regards them OF great value
in mechanical point Of view.
In the process now used in the south
there is u loss OF nearly so per cent OF sac
charine matter contained in the cane, while
tie experiments at Fort Scott show an abb
solute extraction OF all sugar.
