NgarveIs of Corn Culture.

Thousands of practical instances Sould be given to show the value of inn proved varieties of corn. For instance, one southern Illinois farmer, more pro- gressive than the rest, was induced to secure enough improved seed to plant 800 acres as 8 result of his study of corn in the Illinois college of agricul- 4ure These 300 acres outyielded all of the other fields on his farm more than 30 bushels an acre; and, so far as could be determined, the fields of that entire section yielded about 80 bushels an acre. This increase in yield meant a total gain of about 5000 bushels, which represented cash value of about S4,000 that season. As this increase did not represent an increased cost of produc- tion, the gain was pure profit. Tn an- other case, a farmer in central Illinois became interested in improved seed corn through the school of corn judg- ing in the Illinois agricultural college. He secured enough seed, grown by a corn breeder, to plant 80 acres. As a result. he raised almost 25 bushels more an acre on this field than where the or dinary seed was planted.-Cosmopol tan.

ONE TOUCH OF NATURE.
A We'll Illustrated Instance of the
 Triumph of Beauty Over Philosophy. E&Da

Though Wu-Tung-fang Is no longer a resident of the United States, memo ries of him still continue to augment the gayety of the nation. At a dinner party the other night a guest recount ed speech of MT. Wu's "He was dis coursing." said the guest, upon love. He spoke poetically; it was delightful to hear him, relates the New York Tribune.
 "He told how certain mandarin once determined to bring up his son in per- feet innocence, in perfect ignorance of women. Accordingly, he took the boy td hut upon a mountain top and dwelt with him there alone, teaching him to love the gods and to fear those evil spirits and devils that molest man. kind.
 'In this manner the boy grew into early manhood. He was not aware that women existed. He knew nothing but the precepts of the philosophers of old time He reverenced all the gods; he hated all the devils.
 "Then, one day, his father took him part way down the mountain, and by i'll chance three maidens appeared in the distance. They drew nearer. They passed close by. The youth regarded them with profound interest.
 What are they, father?" he asked.
 They are devils. my son. Hate them,' the father replied.
 From that moment the boy became melancholy. He sat for long hours mo- tionless, gazing far away. He would eat little. He sighed often. He grew thin and pale.
 My son. his father asked him. final- ly, what is the matter with your
 Signing, the youth Said only this:
 "'Oh, father, that tallest devil! that tallest devtI!'"

NEW INDUSTRY IN THE FIELD
Possibilities of the Rich Process for
 Brazing Cast Iron.

Possibilities of the Rich Process for
 Brazing Cast Iron.
 A great deal of interest has been aroused in the manufacturing world by the recent discovery of ln-ans for mechanically uniting or brazing~ cast iron to cast iron or other metals. Ever since the use of cast iron its greatest drawback has been its absolute use- lessness when once broken. This, how ever has been overcome by new sys- tenn of brazing 1t with the aid of Fer rofix. For instance a gear wheel tooth breaks. The whole wheel is thrown away and a new one substituted at more or less expense or loss of time. By this means new tooth is brazed in and made as new and stronger. Stronger because the uniting element, brass, Is stronger than cast iron. This Ferrohx compound can also be applied to cracked cylinders, broken frames, lever arms and a thousand other parts of machinery now in use. Cast ings can be coated with brass or cop per by this process; also iron boiler tubes, whether water tube or fire tube, can be coated with copper and be made impregnable to the action of the water. The Cramps shipbuilding com- pany are now trying it on the plates of vessels built for ocean service This can be put on ingots when they are brought from the forge and a layer of any thickness of copper brazed on to it. The company has eight plants III eight different cities; one hundred ana forty agents and about seventeen thousand users of Ferrofx. These have all been gained in the past year and with continuance of the present en- ergetic policy Of the we'll known men behind it should have at least one hun dred thousand users before another year rolls by. Those behind the en- terpriseg are all well known heads or large concerns, as will be seen by looking over their booklets. and they propose to make it most profitable and gigantic concern.
 The company sells territorial rights and these are sub-sold Into shop rights, the American Brazing company retain ing an interest In the sub-companies; also receiving large profits on the sale ofe Ferrof1x to these companies, which of course, is the keynote of the situ- ation. Plants are being established as rapidly as possible and eventually ev- cry town or4city in the United States will have a plant of the American Brazing company. Those already erected are doing 8 very large and profitable business. Some Of the lar gest manufacturing concerns in the country are using Ferrof1x, among them being railroads and steamship lines The art of 11sfn0 Ferroflx to it's best advantage is now being taught in some of the technical schools in diff ferent parts of the country.

OLD TIME WHALING.
The Profit Was Not Nearly So Great
 as Is Supposed.

A5 {. a a
 "The Emily's cruise produced not far from LOGO in oil, not counting what she sold on the coast of South America. The green hands who sailed on a 20Oth lay should have received from this oil $215 each for the cruise that was fortytwo months long, or $5.875a a month. From this, of course, they had to pay for the clothes they bought from the captain, or what is called the slop bill. Mir Hale's slop bill amounted to about $25 a year, and, Judging from the list, it Is likely that the forecastle men did not buy much less.
 Captain Luce, with his lay of 6 per cent, should have had due ordinarily S2,5O for the three years and six months, or, say $64 a month. MT Hale does not tell what his law yas. but if he averaged S16 month for the voy- age he was doing as we'll as third mates usually did. Tn considering these f1g- ures we remember, of course, that good mechanics used to work for $1.50 per day on shore previous to the civil war, that the crew received their board in addition to their wages and that even now first class farm hands work for P@O d 4uOuLu duu DOdTu, ana even leSS.
 The owners share of the oil was two-thirds. or, say, $2,O0O, but he paid all expenses of the uotf1t. It is fair surmfse to say that he cleared $6,OO0 year for the use of the ship, profit by no means excessive, even though the vessel herself was probably worth no less than half a years income, for thA~wha1e owner had to take the risk of ship making or losing voyage.',- Harper's Magazine

THE DESERTED HOUSEHOLD.

Up on the hill, mid the biossoming
 trees,
 Stands the homestead, bare and tall: The sunlight gleams on the broken panes, And shines through the silent hall. The garden where the children played Is but a tangled maze, And the cherry blossoms falling fast Bring thoughts of other days. Ihe woodbine climbs to the little porch, And taps on the dingy door, It enters the room through the shattered And trails OCT the dusty floor, It lovingly twines OCT the broken chair Where a mother used to rock, And droops its leaves OCT the hanging
 door. The roses that bloom in the summer
 house,
 Nod their dropping heads snd say: ''IIow long 1t is since the mother sang. And we watched the children play! How long since the lovers wandered here And sat in the gloaming sweet! How long since the garden echoed gay With the sound of little feet! But there's silence through the garden And through the orchard sweet: No sound of happy singings
 And no rush of little feet And the roses clustering gently
 Der the window and the dooS Listen vainly for the children
 That are coming never mores Up on the hill. mid the blossoming trees, Stands the homestead bare and tall, The sunlight gleams on the broken pa1ea, And shines through the silent hall, The garden where the children played Is but tangled maze, And the cherry blossoms falling fast Bring thoughts of other days. --Winifred M. Baldwin, in Springfield
