An Instance Of Growth.

1t is pleasure, in this day of great
industrial combinations, to note an
instance where an independent concern
has attained to mammoth proportions,
and has grown steadily but surely for
years from small beginning into the
fullness of the present time. Such an
institution is cited in the seed business
of D. NJ. Ferry & Co., who for nearly
half century have gone forward each
year, constantly adding new customers
and retaining all its old ones, until it
is today the source of seed supply from
which the great crops of this country
spring. Seed houses have come and
gone-some survived and fourished for
years, but finally succumbed for one
reason or another-while Ferry's kept
growing all the time. Thousands of
farmers, gardeners and flower growers
look to them year after year for the
seeds from which the prosperity of
their fields and gardens is to grow, and
the fact that they are never disap-
pointed in Ferry's seeds is the secret
of the wonderful expansion of this pop
ular firm. You can buy their seeds in
every city, town or hamlet of this land,
and you are always certain that they
are fresh, true to name and sure to
grow. Their 1904 Seed Annual, val
liable guide in the selection of. the
proper seeds to plant, will be sent free
to all readers of this paper who apply
to D. NJ. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich.

What We Send Abroad and some Of
the Things We Get.
We send Dakota seed to Russia,
from which she raises wheat to COM
pete with our own product IN the mar
kets OF the world. To plant, cultivate,
reap and harvest her own crops we
send to Russia nearly one-balf our to-
tai exports of agricultural machinery,
In 1908 we shipped some $1,000 tons Of
these implements to the land OF the
Gar In former years all this passed
through the ports Of New York and
Philadelphia, but fractional increase
in freight rates between the lakes and
the East has diverted the trade to
Southern ports, while experiments are
being made In direct shipments from
Chicago by way Of the lakes, the st.
Lawrence River and the Atlantic
Ocean.
The cotton plant first came to Amer
lea from Asia; now the greater part OF
the Central Asian crop is grown from
American cottonSeed. American cul-
tivators till the soil which Is watered
by an American irrigation system.
Yankee gins clean the fiber, American
compounds press the cotton into bales
wrapped with American bands, and
finally the cotton finds its way to Mos
COW overa railroad built with American
capital and is turned into cloth by sec
ond-hand machinery from an American
cotton factory, TO compete abroad with
American prints.
Another regular article Of export to
Central Asia is the Ohio grapevine cut
ting. The vineyards Of Central Asia
are all offShoots from American vines,
and the fruit is priced above all Others
in Russia proper for its delicacy and
flavor Twenty to thirty tons Of Amer
lean grapes to the acre is common
yield In Central Asia, and as the Amer
lean vine is free from parasites, II is
being introduced everywhere the world
over, from South Africa to northern
China and Japan. We win export to-
bacco plants to Russian Asia, so that
the Russian tobacco, grape, cotton and
wheat crops are all American, once re-
moved.
No oriental fable is stranger than the
accomplishments OF the up-tO-date
Yankee drummer In Bagdad, the
home of Aladdin, he offers the new
American lamps that burn either Rus
sian or Ohio oil. for the old bronze tai
low burners of the Bagdad housewife.
and as these time-worn oriental lamps
find a ready sale in New York, the en-
terprising drummer who introduced the
American lamp to Bagdad was well re-
paid for his trouble. Now, however,
American lamps are becoming drug
in the Bagdad market. and the supply
of old lamps is rapidly giving out as

Substitute for Diamond Drills.

The price of black diamonds, used
for core rock drills, having risen in
forty years from three dollars to fifty
dollars per carat, a substitute for them
has long been sought, says the Youths
Companion. One such substitute is
furnished by the shot drill, invented by
Mr.. Davis, an Australian. In this ma
chine the place Of the diamond-cutters
is taken by chilled steel shot, fed
through hollow rod in the drill, which
wear away the rock by crushing or
grinding action. A machine, recently
tested in New York, easily cut through
a mass Of brick and cement, and even
through embedded plates of cast iron,
making smooth cores of four feet in
length.

position and has won It's way to the hearts Of
the people. The natural timidity which 30
many people have felt about giving endorse
ment to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude
and desire to help others has inspired thous-
ards of people to give public testimonials for
Peruna who heretofore would not have con-
sented to such publicity,
Never before in the annals Of medicine has
it happened that 50 many men of national and
international reputation have been willing to
give unqualified and public endorsements to a
proprietary remedy, No amount of advertis-
ing could have accomplished such a result.

KRUGER IN EXILE.
He Says He Has Not Yet Abandoned
Hone,

He Says He Has Not Yet Abandoned
Hope.
President Kruger, as 1t seems nat
ural to call him, is lonely and pathet-
ic figure in his declining years. He
lives in retirement on the French Rivi-
era, near the Italian frontier, beauti-
full country, but not as attractive to
the old Beers eyes as the monotonous
veldt. Darwin, in his Voyage Of the
Beagle" says that the country which
haunted him most and exercised the
pleasantest sentimental interest upon
him was the sterile and uninhabltable
Patagonian wilderness, a land Of
sweeping plain and billowy upland,
arid, tireless and melancholy. If such
a wild spot, with no landscape charm,
could fasclnate a chance traveller, how
passionate must be the attachment of
the exiled Boer to the land of his birth!
Mr.. Kruger lives in seclusion, denying
himself to all but intimate friends. To
the visiting journalist he Is mot at
home" He passes his time in reading
his own lIedSuLeu DOOh, lAS DlDlci anu
keeping up with his correspondence
with the Beers who have founded
colonies in South Africa, Chill and Hol-
land, some of which are prosperous.
NJ. Massard, of La Patrie, obtained
admittance to Mr.. Kruger's presence
the other day to present an allegorical
figure in bronze entitled by the donors
"Sursum Corda." The Frenchman, of
course, read little address full of
complimentary references to the for
mer President and his heroic people.
Mr.. Kruger in reply said he had not
abandoned hope, for his faith In divine
justice was unwavering. His last
handshake was sad,", said the emotion
al Frenchman, "and a mist seemed to
come over his eyes. myself could not
suppress a tear" No doubt a genuine
tear, as became the director of La
Patrie charged with such a sensational
mission. When Mr.. Kruger said he
had not abandoned hope he must have
had in mind the building of Dutch
South Africa on the ashes Of the raw
aged republics, the scheme Of the re-
habilitated Bond and the dream of
veterans like De Wet, Delarey and
Louis Botha.-New York Evening Sun.
