JERE'S IGNORANCE.
The Secretary of Agriculture Tripped
Up on Barley Statistics.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-A communica-
ton from the Oswego board OF trade,
contradicting the statement of the Sec
retary of agriculture on the subject of
the production of barley, was presented
in the senate today by Evarts. Five
hundred copies were ordered printed for
distribution. Rusk's statement was that
barley was the only cereal of which there
is not raised suficiency for home con-
sumption. The denial is to the effect
that the annual production of the
United States is about 10000, 900 BUSH
els. The country used last year for
mailing purposes less than $4,000, 900
bushels; 10,000,0O0 bushels were i'm

Deforestation of Servia.

An English paper says: One of the effects
of Servian independence appears to be an
almost total disafforestation of the country.
The vice consul at Nish says that during the
Turkish occupation Servia was covered with
magnificent forests of oak, beech, chestnut
and walnut trees, by means of which the
country was assured of regular and plenti-
full supply of water, and in the recesses of
which the natives found shelter and refuge
from their foreign conquerors. From the
date of her independence destruction of
these invaluable treasures commenced, which
has been carried on with remorseless and I'M
rejecting perseverance, and it appears as
though there were at the present day a race
against time to complete the havoc.
From time to time the consciences of min
listers and governments have been reused to
interfere, but beyond the passing of laws
which remain dead letter hardly anything
has been done to arrest the evil. Neither do
the authorities to whom the work of super
vision has been confded appear to have at
tanned to proper apprehension of the i'm
portance of the duties devolving upon them;
it has even been remarked that such action
as the highest authorities have taken has
been rather prompted by considerations rela-
tive to the supply of acorns and beechnuts
for feeding swine than by proper regard
to the preservation and plantation of timber
as national need.-Exchange.

New Mexican Adobes.

Most of the native dwellings around the
city and throughout New Mexico are built
of mud bricks, called "adobes." Mixing a
little broken straw with the soil, rough
blocks, about twice the size of ordinary
bricks, are nodded, dried in the sun, and
piled up in the form of wall, with spaces
high up for door and windows. After the
wall is dry, it is smeared over, inside and
out, with a thin paste of earth and water,
smoothed with the palms of the hands.
The roof is formed of rough timbers COW
cred with boards, on which is spread dry
EARTH to the depth of twelve inches OF more.
The intense heat of the sun speedily consoli-
dates the mass, and rude cutters are made to
carry off tropical rains. Access is gained by
a ladder as the fiat roof is used for drying
fruit and grain, and for a lounging place
for the family.
The rooms are gloomy, because the aper-
lures serving for windows are very small.
The earthen floor is covered with skins,
which, with blankets, furnish the beds. The
cooking utensils are primitive, and the Gull
nary art, such as it is, is practised out of
DOORS
In nearly every house will be found a
board a few inches square, on which is de-
picted a saint, or group of saints, usually
in red or yellow; for intense colors are much
admired, as in all lands of the sun. This is
seen also in the dress and in general orna-
mentation.-New York Journal.

Sir RaIeiGh'S Weed.

"Over 10000, 900 cigars are manufactured
every day in the United States alone" said a
prominent dealer the other day, land this
enormous number requires in the neighbor-
hood of AGO. 900 boxes for their keeping. Con-
sequently there are over 200 factories in the
country turning out boxes as fast, or faster,
than cigars are made to fill them. And it is
surprising what an extensive and expensive
plant is required for the making of cigar
boxes. A complete box making plant is a
planning mill, a silk spinning mill and a print
ing establishment combined. Besides putting
the pieces of wood together, fully equipped
factory weaves and fixes up its own silk rib
bon wrappers, and does its own printing.
'sThe wood of which these boxes are made
comes from Mexico, Central America and the
West Indies. The manufacturers use very
little besides red cedar, and that kind of tim
Der is rather scarce in this country. They
buy the wood for these boxes in large, heavy
logs, and cut them up to suit themselves
Only the cheaper grades of boxes are made
from poplar cut in the west, which is after
wards stained to initiate the red CEDAR But
the only real good wood for packing cigars
is the cedar which comes from Mexico, Cen
trail America and the West Indies. The
cedar wood has a peculiar pungent odor,
which adds very much to the taste and flavor
of good cigar. "-Philadelphia Review.

Acknowledge the Corn.

The phrase acknowledge the corn" is va
riously accounted for, but the following is 6
true history of its origin: In 1928 Alexander
Stewart, member of congress, said in a speech
that Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana sent thei1
haystacks, cornfelds and fodder to New
York and Philadelphia for SALE Wickliffe
another member, called him to order, de-
claring that those states did not send theil
haystacks and corn fields to the eastern cities
for sale. "Well, what do you send?" asked
Stewart. ''Why, horses, mules, cattle and
hogs" "Well. what makes your horses
mules, cattle and hogs?" queried Stewart
''You feed 500 worth of hay to horse
In doing that you just animate your hay
stack and get on top of it and ride off to mar
ket How is it with your ca4tle? You make
one of them carry $50 worth of hay to the
eastern market How much corn does it take
to fatten hog, Mr.. Wickliffe?" "Thirty-
three bushels" replied the man from Ken
lucky. "Then you just put thirty-three
bushels of corn into the shape of hog and
walk him off to market" said Stewart. At this
point in the debate Wickliffe sprang to his
feet and exclaimed, very hurriedly, "Mr
Speaker! Mr.. Speaker! 1 acknowledge the
corn" The incident caused quite laugh
among the members and was never forgotten

A Royal Potato Seller.

The tradesmen to royalty are entitled to
put the royal arms over their shops, and
those of the Prince of Wales have the
right to show his three upright feathers
in the same way. One night the Prince of
Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh were re-
turning home rather late. When they passed
Joe, the well known ''tater" man in Pail
Mall, they took a fancy to taste his wares and
were accommodated by Joe with a red hot
baked potato from the can, for which they
paid penny each and proceeded on their
way. Joe had recognized his customers, and
on the next day his ''tater can" was deco
rated with glaring gilt sign showing the
three feathers, and the legend, "Purveyor to
H. R. H. the Prince of Wales" He station
ed his apparatus oppose the Marlborough
house, to the princes mingled amusement
and dismay. The prince sent an equery to
order him away, but Joe refused to bulge,
and kept on doing rushing business. AT
last the prince ordered Sir Francis Knollys
to buy him off, and the feathers were re-
moved-Detroit News.
