Differences in Corn Meal.

Most people in this world think corn
meal is just corn meal. There is as
many grades of this product is there
are of almost any other product of a
like nature. The best meal is made
from sound corn ground slowly on
stone burrs. 1t should not be ground
too finely, and should be used within
two or three weeks from the time of
grinding. The rapidly ground, kiln
dried product is very much of the same
characteristic as sawdust and about as
palatable. When we get to knowing
what is the best way 10 provide this
product for human food there will be
more people using corn bread and corn
fritters.-Midland Farmer.

THE CROP BULLETIN.
Condition of Winter Wheat Almost Unim-
paired-Corn Planting Slow.

Washington, D. C.-The weekly crop
report, issued by the Weather Bureau,
says that very slow progress has been
made with corn planting throughout
the corn belt and the Middle and South
Atlantic States, owing to the cold, wet
weather, while dry weather has i'm
paired stands in the Central and West
Gulf States.
The previous reported excellent con
dition of winter wheat in the principal
winter wheat States continues unim-
paired, excepting to a slight extent in
portions of the Upper Ohio Valley,
where in some localities it is turning
yellow. Less favorable reports are also
received from the Middle and South
Atlantic States and portions Of Texas.
Seeding Of spring wheat is general in
all parts of the spIing wheat region.

Beet Pulp For Fodder.

Secretary Wilson believes there is
great value in the pulp of beets after
the saccharine matter has been ex-
tracted which it will be profitable for
the farmer to use for fodder. The
older factories have never been able
to dispose of this pulp advantageously,
because its real value has not hitherto
been appreciated. "The new factor

people to haul it away, but the farmers
are beginning to S it for feeding
purposes, and some of the best sugar
companies are buying cattle to fatten
them with it, as the distillers do with

Remarkable New Grain.

A new grain, known as corn-wheat,
is being grown in Eastern Washing
ton. 1t has the nature of both corn
and wheat, possessing the fattening
qualities of corn and the corn favor.
In appearance it resembles wheat. Its
grains are twice as large as those of
ordinary wheat. 1t yields sixty to
100 bushels an acre, and seems to solve
the problem of fattening hogs in the
Pacific Northwest, as corn is not sue
cessfully raised in that country.

with my nightly rest broken, owing
to irregularities of the kidneys, suffer-
ing Intensely from severe pains in the
small of my back and through the kid

of abnormal secretions, life was any

noticed in the newspapers the case of a
man who was afflicted as I was and
was cured by the IS of Doan's Kid

remedy were SO sincere that on the
strength Of his statement l went to
the Hugh Murrey Drug Co.'s store and
got a box. l found that the medicine
was exactly as powerful a kidney rem

Discovery of Platinum.
Platinum was first discovered early
In the sixteenth century in a Spanish
mine of South America, from which
source it receives its name, "platina
del Pinto"-little silver from the River
Pinto. 1t is the rarest and most pc
culiar of metals. In contradistinction
to aluminium, the lightest, it is the
heaviest Of metals. 1t is twice as
heavy as silver and nearly three times
heavier than cast iron. Platinum is
almost as soft as copper and as ductile
as gold. 1t can be rolled into sheets
so thin that 1000 Of them piled on top
of eac' other would not exceed an inch
in height. The average imports of
platinum to this country are valued
at nearly 100000 a year.-New York

says:
"The incidents which are set forth in

that purpose by the commanding gen
eral in the Philippines"

value al weather Warnings.


The last report of the chief of the
United States Weather Bureau in
Washington gives a striking illustra-
ton Of the practical value of the
weather reports Of that service. On
February %, 1901, the following spe-
cial warning was telegraphed from
Washington to Jacksonville, Fla, with
instructions to give 1t the widest pos
sible distribution throughout the State:
Temperature will fall tonight to a
minimum Of between 20 and % degrees
at Jacksonville, and to freezing as far
south as Tampa, with frost extending
somewhat south Of the latitude of Jupi-
ter Inlet" This very definite predic-
ton was fulfilled. Frost occurred as
states, and the minimum temperature
at Tampa was 80 degrees. More than
500 kilograms were sent out. Orchard
lists estimated the value Of orange
bloom, vegetables, strawberries, ETC.,
known to have been saved in conse-
Quence at more than 100000. This is
one Ease among many Of the sort.

Newspaper conditions In Washing
ton are unlike those in other cities.
There are innumerable representatives
of papers, covering the whole range
of the country, each n OF whom
serves a constituency Of great impor-
lance. As a body. the newspaper cor
respondents of Washington are incom-
parably superior to the average news
paper representatives In other cities.
Many Of them have been intelligent
observers of public affairs for a gen
GRAFTON, and have been the confidants
and advisers of many Cabinet officers.
There is hardly an important news
paper man in Washington who is NOT
at times the trusted custodian OF State
secrets, and the relation of these men
to public affairs is entirely different
from the relation of the average re-
porter in other cities to the business
questions of local interest. 1t is I'M
portant that the Secretary of the Treas
ury recognize this, for the Treasury
Department is one of the chief sources
of news at the Capital, and that ne
should learn to meet fairly and frankly
the newspaper correspondents. This
requires much time, much tact and a
discrimination in determining those
who a be fully trusted and kept con-
fidentially informed of the progress OF
affairs, and those who must be talked
to with guarded politeness.
The sacrifice Of time is by no means
without it's recompense. Many a Cab
met officer has received quite as good
counsel from conservative and expert
enced newspaper correspondents as he
could get from members Of Senate or
House. This confidential relation with
newspaper representatives is unique,
and unless a Secretary Of the Treasury
has been trained in the official atmos-
phere of Washington, it is likely to
take him some time to recognize it
and adjust himself to the condition

4 CONSTANTLY increasing number of

regular practice. 1t has proven its merits
SO thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their prejudice against s~o-called
patent medicines and recommend it to
their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
