DROUGHT PROOF FIELD CORN.

Here is something new. Despite 10
days without drop of rain, Salzer's
new Yellow Dent corn yielded on a
large acreage over sixty-eight bushels

on corn but a trife over twenty
bushels per acre in the United States.
Now think of the possibilities of this
corn in good corn season! 1t will

Ottawa, Kansas, Journal. The inter
state commerce commission report for
the year ending June 80, 1893, shows
that the railway earnings over oper-
ating expenses for that year were $780,
830,575; an increase over the previous
year of $2,421 ,22S.~ The income from
corporate investments was $149, GAS. SIS;
an increase over the previous year of
$7,6SS, 1888; making total income above
operating expenses of S542, 4S0, 100. The
deductions from this income by what
is known as fixed charges '-which in

there is left balance of $8,116, 745,
known as surplus from operations. :"
Thls is $5,999,311 less than the previous
year. There has been a decrease in
net income of $50 per mile of line; in
dividends, $22 per mile; and in surplus,
$SS per mile.
But 1892 was an exceptionally favor
able year, and showed marvellous in

net income. So that, comparing 1893
with 1891, there is a very favorable

Here. with all the present expensive
management, is a net income of SILL

ownership the expense is the same. this

Small Beginnings

Make great endings sometimes. Ailments that
we are apt to consider trivial often grow,
through neglect, into atrocious maladies, dan

1t is the disregard of the earlier indications of

all sorts of maladies ON a chronic basis. More
over, there are certain disorders incident to the
