Corn Breeding.

Corn breeding is a modification of
livestock breeding, and follows the
same general laws and principles. 1t
is the application of principles of plant
and animal breeding to the corn plant.
The per cent of sugar in the sugar
beet has been increased from per
cent to Is per cent. The ordinary beet
was improved by seed selection, so
that an enormous industry has been
built up and a new source of sugar
given to the world. This has been
done with a plant which seeds once
In two years. Corn produces crop
every year; a single seed producing
a return of over a thousandfold. From
this great number of offspring, vary
sition, a selection can be made which
will develop any feature of the seed
or plant. BY continued selection, these
valuable attributes can be fixed in
the characteristics of the plant, and
in the usefulness and Importance OF
the crop increased To illustrate the
point. we have been able, by select

selecting ears with tall stalks, we have
been able to increase the height Qf
the stalk almost three feet in five

having wide leaves, we have been
able to increase the average width of
the leaf, and by selecting ears from

been able to decrease the width of the

HAD ENOUGH OF ARTILLERY.
Rustic Gentleman Creates Amusement
at Band Performance.

An amusing incident occurred at a
concert by Thomas Preston Brooke
and his famous band during a recent
tour of the New England States.
Among the early arrivals at the
opera house were an elderly gentleman
and his wife from the country and
they were shown to seats well toward
the front of the house.
When the curtain arose, revealing
the fifty musicians -attractively group
ed on the stage, their natty uniforms
and resplendent instruments complet-
ing a picture of dazzling effect. the old
gentleman from the rural district was
all enthusiasm. Gee whilliken, Man
da. be they all goin' to play at onct?'
he calculated, to the amusement of ev-
eryone seated near him.
A storm of applause greeted the re-
nowned bandmaster when he appeared
on the stage which seemed to mySt1-
fy our old friend. That's fine-look-
in Teller, but he amt played nuthin'
vet" said he. whats all this hula
baloo about, anyway? Is he goin' to
play tune on that huskin' peg?' Just
at this moment Brooke's baton was
raised, there was an instant of eager
expectancy and then the band struck
up a stirring march. When the music
had ceased the old gentleman was In
ecstasies He applauded and stamped
his feet vigorously, then jumped up
out of his chair. waving his hands in
the air and whistling like gallery
god. When his wife pulled him back
into his seat he shouted: by cricky,
Manda. l never heard such music as
that before. Seth Tibbitts and his old
fiddle don't amount to shucks!'
And so it continued throughout the
concert, Uncle Reuben growing more
enthusiastic with each number.
Near the end of the program was
the anvil chorus from III Trovatore,"
rendered with spectacular appurtenan-
ces. During this selection six red
shirted blacksmiths occupied the front
of the stage and played the anvil ac-
compartment to the music, while SEN

When the first gun was fired the rus

nervous. The next discharge added to
his discomfort, and when the third
cannon went off he grabbed his hat
and started hastily for the door, fol
lowed by his faithful spouse.
AS they disappeared through the en-

doorkeeper: "B'gosh, l got enough O.

One Hundred Acres of Squirrels.

H. P. Kellor, of Ripley, Tenn, is
the owner of hundred-acre squirrel
park ON one of his farms two miles
west of Ripley. The trees in the park
consist mainly of oak, hickory, beech
and few pecan and chestnut. There
are several varieties of squirrels
gray. black. fox and few white.
At almost any hour of the day scores
of the little nimble-footed creatures
can be seen sporting around the cribs
and barnyards on the premises, and
seem to be quite gentle. Occasionally
few of them stray off in adjoining
woods. but return-Nashville Banner.

the Company's service. Again, - the
young man who came to this country
over thirty years ago, penniless and
friendless, and who, during the first two
years, earned only $500, working beside
a tank foul with the smell of oil but
to-day, there is scarcely a drop of oil
consumed in this country which has not
been purchased from his stupendous
organization, the Standard Oil Company.
In another walk of life, we see at the
head of a great college, a man who
chopped wood to pay his way through
school.
The great captains of industry of to-
day were the poor boys of thirty years
ago. It was not a wealthy parent nor an
influential friend who started these men
on the road to fortune; they made their
own opportunities they fought their own
battles; they have won.
What is the secret of their success
What is that irresistible force which has
enabled them to overcome all obstacles.
to surpass their fel1ow-men? Every am
bilious young man is searching for this
secret. He believes that honesty, So
briefly, perseverance, and determination
are essentials in the foundation on which
to build successful career, and yet he
realizes that he must possess something
more than these mere prerequisites if he
would achieve conspicuous success.
Those who have studied the lives of
successful men will tell you that they all
possessed a certain force of character
the power to mould the opinions and
direct the actions of others. John D.
Rockefeller has often said that he at
tributes his success largely to his ability
to influence and control the minds of
men. How to acquire that power is told
by Mr.. Edward Box in his Lecture, "Keys
to Success" the most inspiring address to
young men ever heard from an American
platform. Mr.. Box does not preach
theory; he gives good, sound, practical
advice. He tells young men just how
they can develop those qualities indis-
and power. Every word is suggestive
and inspiring.
The Publishers of this Lecture, Iohn
D. Morris and Company, 1903 Chestnut
Street, Philadelphia, Pa, are DESTROYS
that every ambitious young man should
possess a copy of Keys to Success"
and they will send, mplimentary, a
complete copy of this Address to every
reader who will write for it, mentioning
this paper and enclosing six cents to
cover mailing expenses. "Keys to Sue
cess" is one Of the many inspiring
speeches contained in "Modern Flo
quence," library of famous After Din
ner Speeches, Addresses and Lectures, in
ten volumes, edited by the Hon. Thomas

these complimentary copies of Mr.. Bok's

A CONSTANTLY increasing number A of physicians prescribe Peruna in their regular practice. It has proven its merits so thoroughly that even the doctors have overcome their prejudice against so called patent medi- cines and recommend it to their patients.
 Peruna occupies a unique position in medical science. It is the only internal systemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession today. Catarrh, as every one will admit, is the cause of one- half the diseases which afflict mankind Catarrh and catarrhal diseases affiict one-half of the people of United States F. H. Brand, M.
