Corn Breeding.

Corn can be bred the same as cattle

stock. BY careful selection the. corn
breeders are wedding out barren, poor

enormous saving of plant food which is

The ears should be from seven and g

Never Admit Defeat.

Never admit defeat or poverty,
though you seem to be down, and have
not q cent. Stoutly assert your divine
right to be man, to hold your head up
and leok the world In the face; step
brsvely to the front, whatever opposes,
and the world will make way for you.
No one will insist upon your rights
while you yourself doubt that you have
any. Hold firmly the conviction that
you possess the qualities requisite for
success. Never allow yourself to be 9
traitor to your own cause by under
mining your self-confidence.
There never was time before when
persistent, original force was so much
in demand as now. The namby pam
BY nerveless man has little show In the
hustling, bustlIng world Of today. In
the twentieth century . man must
either push OF be pushed. Every one
admires the man who can assert his
rights, and has the power to demand
and take them IL denied him. No one
can respect the man who slinks In the
rear and apologizes for being in the
world. Negative virtues are of no use
in winning ones way. It is the POSI-
tive man, the man with original energy
and push that FORCES to the 'front.'

Tho Saloon Evil.

In st. Patrick's church yesterday,
says the Dubuque Telegraph. Arch
bishob Keane delivered another scath-
ing arrsignmsnt of the saloon and the
evils that follow therefrom. The
greatest evil, he said, is the saloon evil.
To the dram shop nearly all the misery
and suffsrings Of mankind are traceable.
Then followed disquisition on the
saloon evil In general. Touching on
local conditions the speaker waxed
warm. He ssid that his utterances on
the saloon evil had called forth many
inquiries as to just what he intended to
do In Dubuque with the saloon. 1t is
my intention, he said, to talk against
the saloon all my life. Ny views are
set as to the saloon and the occasions of
sins surrounding 1t and In order to rid
Dubuque Of the evil or at.least to min
imize 1t shall talk frequently against
it; shall urge all my Catholic people
that are In the business to get out of 1t
lin time i shall use every means that
moral suaslon can suggest to reduce
the number Of saloons In Dubuque and,
then, II this will accomplish nothing /
shall call into force the power that the
Catholic church gives me. The arch.
bishop said he did not think that he
could wipe out all the saloons of Du-
buque much as he desired to do go, but
he said he knew what he could do. He
would insist, he said, that Catholics get
out Of the business, or at least conform
to the laws of church and state IL they
must needs remain In the traffic. By
conforming to the laws of church and
state the archbishop said that he meant
that no saloon keeper should keep his
place of business open on Sunday-no,
even back, front or side door-nor
sell liquors to any drunkard OF minor,
If Catholic saloon keepers continue tc
disobey me, he continued, I shall b.
obliged to instruct my priests to refuse
them the sacraments Of the church
The archbishop said he did not wish t.
be understood as being unfriendly t.
any saloon keeper, on the contrary b,
bore sentiments of kindness TOWARD
them all. In preaching against saloonl
he considered he said, that he wa
