Corn Plant PossibIlities.-The posi-
,bilities of the corn plant as a souroe
of food for man and beast, aside from
its other almost innumerable uses. ara
somewhat astounding when the figures
are looked into. Mr.. Gibbs OF Phila-
delphia, speaking on the subject be-
fore the New York farmers, amongst
other things said that there is no aues-
ition that the American cornstalk. this
hard, woody, fbrous portion OF the
stalk, will furnish all the rations that
are used for feeding horses by all the
continental armies. Nothing else IA
required. They can be sent To the
field in bag or as pressed cake. ready
for use, with all the heterogeneous sub
Stance required. No hay or other feed
necessary.

Cultivating Corn.-Regarding tina
cultivation OF corn, Prof. e. Davenport
says: A system OF cultivation that will
give highest yield under ordinary con-
ditions seems to be about as follows.
Cultivate deep during the early part Of
the season to remove weeds, conserve
moisture and allow the plant an early
vigorous development. Then gradually
decrease the depth as the corn grows
until near the end Of the season. when
the cultivation should be shallow. and
as far from the hill as Is consistent
with removing weeds, in order to
avoid root pruning and to leave the
soil in the best mechanical condition,
Beef and Poultry Packers.-The
large western beef operators seem to

yards to be killed and dressed after
which the stock Is shipped to the va

packed In refrigerator cars, 30 that q

Monkeys as Gold Finders.
(Fron London It'd -Bits.)


Capt. E. Moss, of the Transvaal. tells the
following story of the monkeys who work
for him in the mines: Il have twenty
four Inonkeys,'' said he, employed about
my mines. They do the work OF seven
able bodied men. In many instances they
lend valuable a id where man is useless
They gather up the small pieces OF quartz
that would be passed unnoticed by the
workingnen, and ptie' them up in little
heaps that can easily be gathered up in a
shovel and thrown into inill. They work
just as they please, sometimes going down
into the mines when they have cleared up
all the debris on the outside. They live
and work together, without quarreling any
more than men do. They are quite methodi-
cal in their habits, and go to work nd fin
ish up in the same manner as huma n beings
would do under similar circumstances. 1t
is very interesting to watch them at their
labor, and see how carefully they look after
every detail of the work they attempt.
They clean up about the mines, follow tie
wheelbarrows and carts used in mining and
pick up everything that falls off on the

is strong, there is very considerable con-
sumption of sugar per capita, whereas III
those countries III which these qualities
are not pre- dominant among the inhabEants
the consumption is smaller In England,
first among the maritime nations OF the
world the consumption of sugar is so
mounds year to each inha bitant- In
Denmark it is 40 in Holla nd 81, IN
France 80, and in Norway and sweden 20,
whereas in Russia it is only ! o., in Italy Z,
in Turkey z, in Greece 6, and in Seryia 4.
The consumption of sugar seems to nave
very little connection with or relation to
the production of sugar, for in Austria the
sugar product of which is large, the aver
age consumption is only 10 pounds,
while in Switzerla nd, in w hich there
is no production to speak of, it is A.
And another cur ious phase of the mater is
that there is q great disparity in the con-
sumption of sugar in the two tea-dripking
countries, England and Russia. The large
amount of sugar consumed in France is
attributed in part to the fact that the
French confectioners and candymakers,
and more especially those doing business
in the city of Paris, use in their trade enor-
nous quantities of sugar in a year, adding
abuorInally to the average consumption of
sugar in the French republic.

The saear crop of the world amounts in

which thelarge part, about A. 500 'ooo tons,
comes from beets and the balance a,oou'
600 tons, from sugar cane. of the latter
the la rgest proportion comes from the west
Indies and a large amount from the
Isfand of Java. Among the countries
nroducing beet sugar, Germany comes fIrst
with about ene-third Of the worfd's crop;
5then Austria with about as much. and then
France. Russia, and Belgium and Holland
together with substantially the same guam

In respect Of the production of beet
sugar in the United States there has been
q vast increase since the establishment or
the Mckinley tariff in 1890. The year
previous the American product w as $500

Four years later it was 10000 tons. Last

Among scientists the' opinion has been

New London, Jan. IA peculiar case
which was treated in this city by DR.. J..
C. Taylor last week has just come to light.
1t was the sequel of a case of diphtheria,
and is considered somewhat in the light of
a phenomenon by the medical profession.
Il child OF ten years, whose sight had been
perfect before the attack, became affect
ed by paralysis of the muscles of the
eye. The normal eye of the child Of ten
years had changed to that OF woman of
seventy years. 1t is practically old sight,
