4 View Specialist. the Corn Breeder.

Corn breeding has become special
lied industry. The field for this branch
of farming is very great. as is shown
by the fact that the corn growers of II
iinois alone use over 100000 bushels
Of seed every year. OF course it is not
necessary that this seed be secured
from the breeder fresh every year, but
seed will not as a rule remain pure
more than four or five years. 1t then
becomes necessary to again secure well
bred seed. AS yet the demand has been
but little developed. Farmers are just
beginning to realize the importance
and benefit of improved seed. but even
now corn breeders are not able to sup.
ply the demand. That this demand viii
increase far beyond the capacity Of
corr breeders to supply there is no
doubt-A. d. Shamel in Orange judo

On Tuesday next is the first Of April,
an important and at times an eventful
day in the business community.
Throughout large number Of the states
there is perhaps no buster day in all the
year than this one Thousands of dollars
will exchange hands, debts be paid and
discharged and a general winding up of
the financial affairs of the year take
place. The first of April has been general
settlement day, when the business af-
fairs of the year were squared up and a
new start made for the future. In the
large cities settlements are made more
frequent, every quarter as a rule, but
with us April lst is the great day for
exchanging money. Estates are settled
up, property is paid for, and interest
moneys are squared. As a moving day
too, the first Of April is an important
epoch throughout the cities, towns and
country districts of Pennsylvania All
leases Of properties date from April first,
extending over a specified time. Houses
are changed by hundreds. And what
a moving time there will be, moving
out and moving in.

THE AMERICAN COW.
Mans Constant and Untiring Friend
Treat Her Gently


None other like the COW! There Is
not thing from nose to tail but that
is utilized for the use of man. We use
her horns to comb our hair her skins
are upon our feet, her hair keeps our
plaster on our walls, her hoofs make
glue, her tail makes soup, she gives
our milk, our cream, our cheese and
our butter, and her flesh is the great
meat of all nations; her blood is used
to make our sugar white, her bones are
ground to fertiliZe our soils, and even
her paunch she herself has put through
the first chemical process necessary for
the production of the best white card
board paper and now they have dis
covered that such paper can be made
into the finest quality of false teeth.
No other animal works for man both
day and night. BY day she gathers
food, and when we are asleep at night
She brings it back to rechew and con-
vert into all the things Of which /
speak.
She has gone with man from Plym-
Outh rock to the setting sun. 1t was
her sons that turned the first sod In the
settlers clearing; it waa her sons that
drew the prairie schooner for the stur-
dy pioneers as, inch by inch, they
fought to prove that westward the
star Of empire takes its way" and the
old COW grazed along behind, and when
the days march was done she came
and gave the milk to fill the mothers
breast to feed the sucking babe that
was. perchance to become the future
ruler Of his country.
Who says that much of what we are
we 90 not owe to mans best friend,
the COW: Treat her kindly, gently, for
without her words fail me to describe.

Railroad to the Sky.

Among the strange and novel railroads
of the world is the one that has been
built to the summit of Mt. Pilatus, in
the Alps, near Lucerne, Switzerland.
The peak is 1000 feet high and very
steep and up this incline railroad has
been constructed. Some points along
the line are so steep that the railroad
seems to fairly stand on end. At one
point in particular the grade is 4S de
grees and the scene, as car energies
from tunnel and descends this steep
section, is one long to be remembered.
Mr. Lyman H. Howe has obtained at
enormous expense an entire series of
moving pictures Of Alpine mountain
scenes and the ascent of Mt Pilatus is
one of them. They will be shown in all
their thrilling grandeur at the Opera

Among the incidents utilized in the

Deacon Perkins and the subsequent ex

with the horse that was guaranteed to
stand without hitchin' Others are the
transaction with Zeke Swinney, the

Some men are always too busy to

against shocks and surprises because of
their disinterestedness in the news of
their neighborhood. 1t pays to keep
fairly well informed of what is going on
about you.
Every subscriber of a paper should
also keep track of the advertisements in
which money saving opportunities are
offered by wide awake merchants Wom-
en- are the greatest advertisement
readers. They keep close watch of the
advertising columns and know just
where and when this and that sale will
take place. This habit should be cult
