A BROOM CORN SEED.
From This one would Think Frank
lin should ne the Patron saint
OF Housewives.

Every housewife is supposed TO know
how TO handle broom, but il is safe to
say that not one in ten has any clear
idea of what her sweeping utensil is
made of, or how il is made, or where
the material came from. Brooms are
made from the heads or brushes Of the
broom corn, a first cousin of our COM
mon field corn. And in this connec-
ton is told very pleasant little fairy
story concerning Benjamin Franklin.
Poor Richard" by the way, seems TO
have been about the biggest jack-of-all-
trades that ever helped the United
States to become the richest and most
powerful nation of the world. If this
story is true he is the patron saint of
the housewife and the broom-maker, as
well as a kite flyer, lightning catcher,
printer, publisher, editor, author,
philosopher, statesman and other
things ''too numerous TO mention"
Now, broom corn first grew in India.
From there 1t was carried TO Europe.
The story goes that DR.. Franklin was
examining a whisk broom that had
been brought over from England in the
days before we had any broom corn of
our own. lie found single seed on the
broom, picked ii off, planted il and
raised stalk of corn from which de-
scended, SO TO speak, all the broom corn
of the United States.
However this may be, broom corn
grows very much like its first cousin,
our maize, which originated here. The
head is larger, however, and the seeds
grow on the head, instead of in ears.
The heads are cut off, leaving about six
inches of the stalk, and the seeds are
scraped off by a machine which does
a clean job and does not iniure the
broom. The seeds are valuable in a way.
They are fed to horses and poultry and
ground into meal for cattle.
In the making of the brooms the corn
is put around a handle Of Eastwood or
soft maple turned in lathe. Each
layer is wound tight with Irvine or wire
until the desired size is attained. The
broom is then pressed out fiat and
sewed TO keep it in that shape. Whisk
brooms are made in the same way

strntcgy OF a spendthrIft.

A good story is told Of young man who,
besides being of the spendthift order, is a
mimic and can initiate his fathers voice to a
nicely. Not long ago the young man want
ed, without delay some money TO pay bill,
and he knew that his father would treat
his request with cold contempt. Waiting
till he knew that his father would be away
he went to the telephone and rang up the
Office, calling for the cashier. The cashier
was forthcoming, and when he was at the
other end the young man initiated his sire's
voice: Il say, Blank, if that scapegrace son
OF mine comes around and asks for 800,
don't give it to him, only give him $50"
The cashier promised that he would full
fill the commands. Not long after that the
son called at the Office and demanded $l00
He was refused by the conscientious cash
Ter, and, apparently in anger, the young
man contented himself with the $50. When
the old man reached the office there was

TRAINING CAVALRY HORSES
Subjected to severe Schooling to Ac-
custom Them to the Noise of
Firearms.

Together with the new recruits for
the Philippine campaign several ship
loads Of cavalry are now on their way
to Manila. 1t is a source OF wonder to
many persons how cavalry horses are
trained TO become accustomed TO fire
and military life in general. Each horse
for our cavalry service costs the war
department about sos in the initial
stage. This is what the government
paid for the unbroken bronchos that
were acquired for the rough riders last
year, and the enormity of this price
was one of the standing jokes among
the cowboys and horsey men who served
in the ranks under Wood and Roosevelt.
The real value of the mounts was de-
termined later at the government auc-
ton sales the next autumn, when most
of the horses were sold under the ham
mer for bids ranging from five TO seven
ty dollars. The average price fetched
was SIS, but even this was paid for SEN
timental reasons rather than for the
actual quality OF the horseflesh. AS a
rule, though, most of the horses secured
for the regular cavalry are worth their
full price, and are apt to advance in
value as they continue in service. Mares
and stations are barred. After a horse
has been accepted for the service ii is
branded with the letters u. S., and has
the same initials carved into one for
ward hoof Then il is broken to the
saddle at one Of the government riding
schools.
The most trying part comes when
the horse has TO make its first acquaint-
ance with fire. However easy it has
been to train up 10 this point, every
horse becomes frightened when guns
begin 10 go Off. One plan adopted is TO
strap the animal down to a plank and
fire revolver shots near its head, accom-
panied by the rattle OF tins.
After n few weeks OF this training
shots can be fired with impunity near
the horses ear, and il will do little more
than start. Then IL is fit TO be ridden
in line under fire. and month Of such
practice closes its military education.
Such education once acquired is never
forgotten by horse.-Collier's Weekly.

FROZEN FOOD INDUSTRY.
A Remarkable Increase Has Bcen
Made I'm the business In the
Last Ten Years.

Frozen food plays a part in the Eng
lish economy that we in this country
do not realize, although we are all IA
miliar enough with cold storage houses
and refrigerator cars. In 1880 Lon
don received it's first consignment Of 400
frozen carcasses OF Australian sheep.
In spite of the prejudice against il the
traffic has grown until now there are
SO vessels engaged in the traffic, with
a carrying capacity of 100000 car
casses per annum. A single vessel some
times lands at London 10000 carcasses
of frozen mutton. At one wharf 10000
to 10000 OF such carcasses are handled
daily, and one warehouse will hold ESQ.,
600 of them; all are from Australia and
New Zealand.
Sheep were imported into Australia
with the convicts to Botany bay little
more than century ago, and with the
small population and vast plains for
grazing fiocks increased so that in 1867
q farmer is recorded who for four
months of the year boiled down daily
from. 900 to 1900 sheep for their tai
low, Nnd until 1880 II was common I'm
Australia and New Zealand 10 kill flocls
of sheep for their hides and tallow,
leaving the carcasses TO manure the
ground, as used 20 be done with cattle
in South America.
There is n difference between frozen
and chilled meat. The meat that Eng
land receives from America is chilled,
but that sent from Australia, 1900
miles away, must be frozen. Australia
and New Zealand have % freezing
works in operation, whose total capaci-
~ is 100000 carcasses per annum. One
of the results OF the frozen and chilled
meat trade Is that people are now able
20 eat fresh meat who half century
ago could only get IL as luxury. Nat
urally we are less dependent on such
food than England, but the growing
use of refrigerator cars and cold stor-
age houses is giving us a variety OF diet
that was impossible n few years ago.

JOHN c. HUBINGER.
Remarkable Career OF n weIi-known
Western Capitalist. Mnnufact-
urer and Phiinnthropist.

Among the leaders OF the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr.. John c. Hubinger, of Keo-
kuk, Ia, reigns without peer. As
a manufactures, as an enterprisng cap
italist and as philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states. and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but AZ years Of
age, can look back upon scores of COM
mercial victories, each one Of which has
benefited mankind. for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born i'm New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years DID, his family removed TO Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received a public school education. Al
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on n number of val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
BY inclination and force of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed TO the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course OF
time he became the head of concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con
ditions, works ever toward perfection
and after years Of painstaking study
and research Mr.. Hubinger has made a
