How Foreigner Learned to Understand
American Politics.
Herr Won s., German historian Of
some repute, visited this country two
years ago. On arriving he went di-
rectly to one Of the large colleges in
New England, in which his brother was
professor. He was enthusiastic in his
commentator OF American young men.
Il hear much" he said to a friend,
''of the corruption Of your political sys-
tenn, OF the ignorance and dishonesty OF
many of your men in power; but when
see the youth of America so intelligent,
so keen, so honorable. how can / believe
it? They have vote; they make laws
and rulers. How, then, can l believe
ito"
An election for President took place
during his stay. lie busted himself in
visiting and talking TO the young men
who had vote for the first time, asking
each of them why he voted for Cleve-
land or for Harrison. The young men
answered him frankly.
MY family" said one, 'have always
belonged 10 the Democratic party, and
naturally join it, too"
II have a friend" said another, who
knows Harrison personally, and ] have
promised him, as a personal favor, 10
vote for him"
Half dozen had relatives or friends
who hoped TO obtain or 10 retain Office
under one or the other of the candidates
They voted to serve these friends.
Most of tho young men, however, did
not intend TO vote at all. They cared
nothing for either party or man." They
meant to keep out o. politics. II was
no business for gentlemen" They had
their own work to do and had no time
for public affairs, and no interest in
them.
Only one Of the whole number en-
ployed himself diligently in studying
the situation, and meant to vote con-
scientiously for the man whose election
he thought would best serve the highest
interests of the country.
Herr Won s. shrugged his shout
ders. "Ah." he said, despondently, II
understand the situation now!"

How Pecans Are Polished.
Salesman At fancy grocery store:
Viii you have pecans with the hulls
polished or just the plain, common
everyday pecan. No difference in the
meat. The difference is in the polish
ing Of the hulls and The price You pay
two cents extra on the pound for tho
polished hull. Why? Because 1t is a
fad, That's all Some folks like to
have the polished pecans on the table
because they look nice. How are they
polished? Well. that is Chicago trick.
There is place in this town that
does nothing else but polish nuts. A
huge cylinder, operating on the same
principle as the peanut rooster you SEQ
on the streets. is put in motion. II con-
tains a few pounds of brickdust. The
nuts are put in the cylinder and it is
given q few revolutions The dustgives
the hull OF the nuts the bright brown,
polish appearance you see in these
pecans, Som. folks come in and ask
where pecans come from. They como
from the South generally, but as good
pecans grow right here in Illinois, near
Alton. as in any portion Of the country.

The Cath Photoxranh.

A pet cat, which was suffocated in fire in Charleston, S. C., left her portrait be- hind her. The smoke settled on the floor and blackened it, except where the cat was lying. Now that her small body has been removed, there appears on the floor a reversed silhouette, an outline of the cat in white on black ground. By keeping the smoke from the bit of floor ing upon which she lay she made her own picture. It is perfect outline, even to the collar on her neck and the spreading hair of her tail. The section of floor will be vanished and the out lines of "kitty" preserved.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Rye for silage.

O. B. Potter has used rye several years for ensilage, and finds it to answer a good purpose if cut at the right time, or before the deep green of the stalk has begun to change color, or as soon as the head fully appears. Later, it becomes hard and woody. He finds thin alter hating layers of dry hay. placed in with the ensilage when filling, useful in ab- sorbing the surplus water of the rye, and in making excellent food for the cattle.
 About one-fourth is thus applied in hay.

Why Hens Do Not L.ay.

Why Hens Do Not Lay.
 One of the -puzzling questions that often arise in the experience of persons raising fowls is why their hens are not laying-a as well as their neighbor's, who is far more fortunate in the weekly addi-. tions made to his egg basket. Many per sons start out with the confident expec- tation of uninterrupted success in raising chickens and eggs, to find at last that the business has for some reason become improbable. Southern Farm, comment ing on the above, advises:
 In purchasing hens for laying, particu- lar attention should be given to the color and appearance of their combs, which should be bright and red. Where the comb has dull, sickly color, and kind of fattened appearance, no amount of feeding or care will force the laying of eggs as long as these conditions exist. Again, the legs should be smooth ard clean and free from scales or the appear ance of spurs, both of which indicate that the hen has passed the laying age. The cock should be bought out of different flock and be as purely bred as possible The principal causes of failure in egg production are believed to be: First, keeping hens that are too old; second, breeding in and in, or failure to intro duce new blood from sources entirely outside of one's 6ne flock, and third, keep ing the flock too long in the same runs.

SORGHUM AND SORGHUM SUGAR.

 An Interesting Report of Results Obtained
 During the Year 1889.
 The chemist of the United States de- partment of agriculture, Dr. Wiley, has prepared & record of experiments in the culture and manufacture of sorghum and sorghum sugar during the year 1SS9 From this it appears that the results of manufacturing at the various points named were in general far from success full. At Cedar Falls, Ia., the certainty of early frosts renders cultivation of sor- ghum for sugar too precarious. At Rio Grande, N. J., the principal trouble seems to have been the deterioration of the plant itself, resulting in ah insufficient sugar content. The result of the experi- ments strongly confirms the assertions already made by the same authority to the effect that the region for successful sorghum growing for sugar purposes seems to be limited to certain regions in Kansas and the northern portions of h. dian territory. In many cases failure has been due to causes which might have been foreseen and avoided. In every case but one, one of the essential condi- tions of successful manufacturing was absent-namely, an ample supply of wa ter. There were, furthermore, the ma- voidable difficulties attending the build ing of new or repairing old structures, the use of new machinery and the carry ing on of the work with inexperienced hands, the employees in several cases hav- ing never worked in a sugar factory be- fore.
 The report is calculated, taken as a whole, to give encouragement to the ad- vocates of the industry. The essential conditions of success are briefly: The growing of sorghum from scientifically tested seed, and in localities adapted to the plant, and that more careful cultiva- tion be given to it than farmers bestow upon their field of maize; also the under taking of the manufacture on a suffi- ciently extensive scale, with ample capi- tai and with facilities for the application of the best methods. Under such condi- tions it would seem that success might be reasonably anticipated. 1t is worth noting in reports of Special Agent Cook that the Kansas farmers have found sorghum at the rate of $1.50 per ton of cane the most profitable crop they can grow.
