SENDING CORN ABROAD.
Efforts to Secure the General Opening
of European Markets to the
Great American Staple.

The secretary of agriculture is
heartily in favor of further intelligent
effort looking to a general opening of
European markets to American corn,
lie is in hopes that congress will pro-
vide a sufficiently liberal appropria-
ton for the agricultural exhibit at
the Paris exposition to warrant an ex-
tensive display of corn and its prod
ucts, including efficient demonstrators
and cooks who will show visitors in a
practical and substantial way what
good American corn bread, corn dodg-
ers, corn cakes are like.
Mr.. Wilson does not look for any
particularly increased purchases of
corn abroad among the poorer classes.
IT is generally supposed that the la
boring man of Europe, when he is
shown the toothsomeness and cheap
ness of corn, will readily substitute it
Tor the rye, oats or wheat he now eats
These people, says the secretary, make
their meals from one article of diet,
be 1t wheat, rye or oats. They live on
but one staple. They must have ar
article which will supply them suffi-
cient heterogeneous matter to enable
! them to do days work, and hard
days work. This they find in rye,
wheat or oats, but not in corn. Corn
is fattening and contains large per-
centage of carbonaceous matter but
will not replace the tissues wasted by
toll to the extent that rye and oats and
wheat will. Therefore he looks rather
to see corn introduced among the bet
ter classes, who can afford more than
one article on their tables and who
will appreciate the sweetness and
wholesomeness and variation of a par
tial corn diet, but who will not be de-
pendent upon it solely for nourish-
ment.
Mr.. B. W. Snow, the late assistant
statistician of the agricultural depart
ment, and now active in the maize
propaganda, is working late O. nights
for the success of the scheme 1t is
the hope of the organizatio after the
Paris exposition to continue the work
of advertising American corn in all the
large cities Of Europe by practical, free
demonstrations of the great variety of
wholesome dishes it is possible to pre-
pare from it.-Farm News

CLOTHES PUT ON ICE.
tive of Moths Than Tar Paper
Moth Balls.

Clothes are put on ice now during the
summer months. Mems garments and
women's alike. 1t is not meant, of
course, that suits and dresses are lit
orally laid upon blocks of ice, there to
CONCEAL rapidly, but that clothes are
actually placed in the coolest of storage
in the heated term.
Tar paper is a remedy of long stand
ing, as is camphor, but it is said that
the new plan of the cold storage ware
house is better than either of these.
In the first place, the clothes are not
packed away tightly, but they are hung
on hooks in the storage rooms set
apart for that purpose, and they keep
their shape much better. Then no odor
clings to them when they are taken
home in the fall.
You can hire a room for clothes, or a
single hook in a room in a progressive
cold storage warehouse to-day as you
please. This is a more expensive method
of preserving winter clothes through
the summer than the old-fashioned
ways, yet it is not so costly. An odd
feature of the cold storage of clothes is
that boots are now being received, and
1t seems to be popular thing to put
them on ice, too.-Chicago Tribune.

READY TO TAKE HIS GALL.
The Surprising Offer of a Bankrupt's
SOulless Creditor at an As
signment Meeting.

Not long ago a substantial looking New
Yorker came to Chicago to engage in the re-
tail cigar business. He had seemingly good
credentials and rented an attractive little
store on the North side, buying his fixtures
on credit. On the same terms he laid in quite
a large stock of goods and opened his doors
for patronage. He seemed to be doing quite
a good business and none of his numerous
creditors manifested the least alarm as to
the safety of their accounts. Suddenly he
made an assignment. His creditors were
notified and full meeting was held in the
office O.. his attorney, the sorrowful bank
rupt not being present with them.
The attorney made a polite and pacific
speech. An eastern creditor, who had Sc
cured judgment on fraudulent claim, had
attached and carried away everything ex-
cept 30 cigars and $500 in money. The I'M
fortunate debtor owed over So, 600 to the men
present, which he would liquidate at the
earliest possible moment.
'My client suffers far more acutely than
any of you," continued the lawyer. "He
has surrendered all that he possesses. 1t is
not much, it is true, but trust it will serve
as an earnest of his future intentions. He
is crushed by his misfortune and would
willingly divide his body among you"
whats that" asked somewhat deaf
old man, supplementing his right ear with
his broad palm.
my client is willing to divide his very
body among you" repeated the attorney.
All right" responded the old man, I'll
take his gall!"-Chicago Chronicle.

so as to provide light and air within.
The roof is made of boards put on to

outside and inside. On the front there
is an opening (b), and door (c). On

mits the ingrcss and egress of the
young birds only. This is closed by
means of a drop board. The hanging
door (c) is u feet long two feet wide
and two feet from the ground, is
formed of boards like the sides, is
fastened by hooks and is attached to
the front by strong hinges. Inside the
house are drinking and feeding
troughs for the young birds, clean
straw at one side and three tiers of
roosts, the first very low, the second
midway and the third of strong poles
as near the top as possible.
In the morning l dropped the hang
ing door to let out the old birds, fed
them outside, and closed the door.
Went in at the side door, fastened it,
fed and watered the young birds ard
left them till the dew was off the grass.
By raising the board the young ones
could come out 10 the old ones. Three
times day they came to be fed, the
board being utilized to shut them in
until all were fed. At night the young
ones remained in and by dropping the
hanging door the old hens flew in.
When the turkeys grew too large for
the opening (b), I fed them just out
side the house and they entered by
means of both doors, which were fast
ened before dark. The house was
adapted to our purpose from the time
the hens were let out o. the coops until
they were sold in the fall.-American

Marriage by the Glove.

In Holland, says Scotch paper, mar
riage by proxy is allowed. This is the
so-called marriage by the glove" and is
usually put in practice by DUtchman
who is sojourning abroad, and wanting
a wife, is too poor or too far off TO re-
turn home for one. In such a case he
writes home to a lawyer, who selects
one comfortable to the requirements of
his client. If the gentleman approves,
he next sends the lawyer a s1iled left
hand glove and power of attorney,
which settles the business. A friend
marries the woman by proxy. and she
is thereafter promptly shipped off to
her new home.

Leaving Manure in Henp..

The only advantage we could see
from the practice of dumping manure
in heaps was the ease with which it
could be done and the wagon unloaded
for another load. The manure thus
dumped is never so evenly spread as it
can be from the wagon. To unload
quickly always have two men on the
load, spreading from each end of the
wagon. Then there will be no heaps
to lie on the ground, perhaps for
weeks, and giving the field 'patchy"
appearance in the larger growth Of
straw where the manure heaps have
lain. Often this extra large growth
rusts and yields less grain than where
the straw was smaller.

HOGS AND THEIR WAYS.

To get the full value of skim-milk in
pig feeding, mix it with a grain or
shorts ration. This is both true and
important.
Build the hog houses so they will be
light, give them a southern front; the
sunlight and warmth will add much to
comfort and health.
Glover is fine for hogs, it is the grass,
but clover alone will not fatten hogs in
satisfactory form. Clover is good, but
is not the whole thing"
The prevalent notion among farmers
that a brood sow should be kept in
low flesh is contrary to the best expert
fence. Give an abundance of succu-
lent food.
Pigs have no relish for real cold food
or water. In summer it is better for
them to drink water that has stood in
the sun long enough to get much
warmer than when drawn from the
well.
Don't neglect to provide in some way
constant supply of fresh water for
the hogs. The idea that the hog is
partial to everything that is dirty has
long been exploded. He appreciates
as much as other stock a supply of
good water.
Contagious diseases cannot be alb
Folutely prevented by the most healthy
system of feeding and caring for hogs.
but If they have plenty of healthy food,
good grazing and pure water they are
far better able to resist the assaults
of contagious disease and escape the
dangers of any others.-RnraI World
