as soon as Venus had gone, he added:

CHAPTER LV.

Meanwhile the doctor returned to
watch beside his patient.
1t was n dreary and hopeless watch,
which lasted all through the forenoon,
until the return of Steppins from the
city, bringing with him Lawyer
Fulmer and the Reverend Mr.. Palmer.

was sinking fast.
They watched eagerly for some such
sign of returning consciousness as the

exhibits just before death. For some
time they watched in vain-his pallid
and sunken face, rolling head, wander
ing fingers and inarticulate murmurs,
gave but little hope that he would
ever speak word or recognize a face
again.
At length, however, when it was
late in the evening, a change came
over him. He opened his eyes, looked
around, and knew the friends that
stood about him. He was quite
cognizant of his situation, for he
beckoned feebly for the physician to
stoop low. and whispered:

Breeding Corn.

Prof. w. M. Hays Of the Minnesota
experiment station advocates the ad-
vantages of seed corn grown in the
vicinity of where it is to be planted.
In regard to this important matter he
says: mo other field crop is so SUBJ
ject to local influences. University No.
IL has done we'll in some counties. but
has met with Indifferent success In
some adjacent ones. It has proven
we'll adapted to some soils, but In
some parts of Renville county, for ex-
ample, it developed large stalks and
small ears, and matured late. Thus
we are led to conclude that varieties Of
corn suited to each locality can best be
developed in that locality. Once a
kind of corn has proven superior in q
neighborhood 1t should be further de-
veloped by breeding. Every farmer
who has superior variety should give
1t name; establish seed corn patch
each year, and breed it for sale. Corn
can be so easily bred, such rapid i'm
provement can be made, and it is such
an interesting and instructive as we'll
as profitable side line that farmers
could understand it with profit. This
Is not an impracticable matter, and
many farmers are doing it in thor
ough manner. 1t is more difficult to
breed wheat timothy or clover. Ad-
ditioncl profit comes from a farmers
corn crop if he has variety wisely
chosen and especially bred for his own
conditions. Not only has the. we'll
bred corn stronger inherited tendencies
in producing large yields, but the farm
er has added pride in it, which works
for cleaner fields, larger crops and
greater profits. He has a greater in
terest In growing variety of corn
which is in part his own creation. II
one has not good variety of corn
he should secure it. 1t may be neces-
sary to try several, though the num-
Der should be limited. The experiment
station could furnish one or more va
rieties, and could give information as
to where others could be found suited
to given locality. The selection OF
portant part Of the improvement and
should not be hastily done. If neces-
sary two to four years should be spent
in seeking and testing new varieties.
A peck or more of each new variety
should be secured. The best can be
chosen, by planting each year few
rows of each kind, the rows eight or
ten rods long, harvesting, weighing and
making notes on the various qualities
of each kind. These small plots will
require only part of the seed, the re-
mainder of which should be preserved.
Seed from the test plots will be mixed
by growing near each other, and should
not be preserved. When one kind is
found to be superior, and is chosen for
the foundation stock for new variety,
the remaining original seed should be
planted.

Unsolved Dairy Problems.

Some of the unsolved problems are
these: Where does the milk fat come
from? There is the problem connect
ed with the feeding of dairy animals,
relating to the mixing of food nu-
trients, writes l.. L. Van Slyke in
Hoard's Dairyman. We do not know
positively in just what proportions
these food elements should be mixed.
1t Is species of humbug to make one
ration for Jersey COW, another for an
Ayrshire COW, and still another for
a Guernsey when the object in eacn
case is to produce milk fat. The use of
feeding standard must always be ac-
companied by common sense observa-
ton of the individual animals We are
working with, if we expect to secure
most economical results. We have, as
yet, no satisfactory method for deter
mining the amount of fat or oil in the
food. What we report as fat or other
extract is very impure fat.
The question of milk secretion in the
COW has possessed intense interest for
the dairyman. The chief characteristic
Of the results of study thus far made
has been the finding out of things that
are not so. The flow of milk can best
be kept up by wise use of succulent
foods. The cream separator has revo-
lutionized our old methods. and it
would seem as though we could hope
for little more in this line, except a
cheapening of these machines to such
an extent that no dairyman can af-
ford to be without one.

Major Albert r. Anderson died at Hot
Springs Thursday, November II, after
suffering with blood poisoning for two
months. He has been prominent for years
in politics in Iowa and South Dakota, at
ono time having defeated Hepburn for
congress in Iowa. He was elected states
attorney for Fall River County at the re-
cent election by the largest majority OH
tho ticket. His loss will be deeply
mourned throughout the northwest.
Since Major Anderson located in Hot
Springs in 1892, lie has been active in pol
itics in various ways. In 1894 he was de-
fcatcd as the Populist candidate for state
senator, and during the campaign made
many speeches for that party ver the
state. In the spring of 1896 he was elected
mayor of Hot Springs OH the Republican
