That the sun will follow the binding rain: i:
That the clouds will fly from the blackened

That the stars will come out by and by;
And you'll make new friends. till hope de-

That all you need is a little song

THE CORN KERNEL.
Its Chemistry Explained in n BuIIe-
tin Issued by the Illinois lex
pertinent station.

Bulletin 53 of the Illinois Expert
ment station treats of the chemistry of
the corn kernel. In part it says:
By mechanical means the corn kernel
has been separated into four different
parts. These may be designated (see
sut) as a, the coat, or hull, of the kerr
mel; b, the hard glutenous layer un-
derneath the hull much thicker at the
sides than at the crown; C, the chit, or
germ, and d, the starchy matter con-
stituting the chief body of the kernel.
The germ is about ~ per cent. of the
kernel, but it contains nearly twice as
much mineral matter and three or four
times as much oil as all of the rest of
The kernel. The germ is also rich in
protein, but the chief part of that con-
stituent is contained in the glutenous
layer. The hulls and starchy portion
of the kernel consists largely of car

PASSING OF THE OK.
One of the sad but Inevitable Results
of the Quickened Life of
the Country.

Notwithstanding the ubiquity of the
bicycle and the tardy development OF
the automobile, there is no evidence
that the horse is losing ground in our
social and domestic economy, says the
Boston Transcript. On the contrary,
there has been an increase of about 40
per cent. in horseflesh since 1912, and of
about l2 per cent. in the number of
mules, while that dear, quaint and
faithful servant of man, the patient OK,
has barely held his own in the last 16
years. This is perhaps one of the in
evitable results of the quickened life
of the country. His star is in the de-
scendant. While the country may be
congratulated upon the increased push
which demands greater speed and
power in our modern activities, a sigh
of regret will nevertheless follow the
vanishing OK just as ii did the old stage
coach when the locomotive forced it
off the road. The gradual passing
away of the OK as beast of burden has
the pathos that attaches to the extinc-
tion of one of the early families. They
came into the country together, and
together they took pioneer part in its
development. They felled and drew off
the trees, they tore up the stumps, they
scanned and mellowed the rooty soil,
making it richly responsive TO the
needs of man. They pulled out the
great stones that fretted the faces of
nature and made garden spots of the
rugged hillside and plain. The OK was
a factor of every enterprise. He was
on the farm, at the wharf and the mill,
and when in those early days of ex-
pensive and adventurous ideas the old
places seemed too contracted for the
settler he bundled his family into a
prairie schooner, while his faithful
oxen dragged the ponderous vain q
six months journey toward the setting
sun, accomplishing distance which we
may now be whirled between the twi-
light and dawn, browsing cheerily as
they wended their toilsoms way along,
and boarding themselves when the
time for nightly camping arrived. But
the old fellow has had his day except
where the conditions are still primi-
tive. Once he was the steady reliance
of every farmer, but now one hardly
sees yoke in the harvest field or the
plow lot. His pace cannot be read
justed to the quick step of modern ideas
md inventions, and utilitarianism has |
no use for the poetic or the pictur
ssque. More and mere his destination
IS coming to be the shambles. This
makes life shorter and we might say
nerrier. but merriment in an OK is in
Bile.

LOADING DRESSED HOGS.
A Device by Means of Which the Car
cass Is Handled with Almost
No Lifting.

One OF the chief outdoor difficulties
at butchering time is the loading Of
heavy dressed hogs intended for mar
ket. Frequently this is done By one
man, aided by the women of the house
hold. and it is usually productive of
much nervousness and some irrita-
bility. All this may be remedied in the
following way:
Make and keep from one season to an
other large tripod by joining at the
top three stout poles, c, 13 feet long.
Keep the upper ends of the poles from
splitting by means of iron bands. The
lower ends are sharpened to a point.

DEEP SEA EXPLORATION.
Important Trip by tho Albatross to Pacific
Ocean Island Groups.


WARRINGTON. Aug. 21.-The United States
Fish Com missions steamer Albatross was to
sail from San Francisco to-day on a tour OF
deep-sea Investigation OF the Pacific Ocean.
The tour will include visits to the Society Is
land. the Friendly Islands. the Fiji Islands and
other groups both north and south OF tho
equator. Tho intinerary will cover distance
OF nearly 10000 miles. terminating at Yoko-
hama In April. 1000. Tho principal mission OF
the Albatross will be deep-sea dredging. trawl-
ing and sounding. although many other ex-
perimsnts will be made and much attention
paid to the collection Of fauna in the islands
touched.
1t is anticipated that both the dredee and
the beam trawl will be hauled In deeper water
than ever before A new beam trawl OF extra
ordinary size will be one OF the features OF
collecting apparatus. The mouth OF the trawl
ia twice as large as any one heretofore con-
structed.
1t is said by the Fish Commission this will be
the most important marine expedition on
which it ever embarked and will yield the most
valua BILE scientific results. The scientific work
will be under charge OF Prof. Alexander Agas-
siz. with an able staff Of assistants. The waters
to be visited are comparatively UNEMPLOYED.
and It Is believed moro interesting and much
larger specimens Of deep-sea life will be taken
than In any former expedition. The President
has shown interest in the expedition. The
State Department has notified the British,
French and German authorities.
