Corn Profits in Illinois.

That the corn belt advances slowly
in the way of improved methods Of
cultivating the great cereal is indi-
Gated by the records of the Illinois
State Board of Agriculture for the last
twenty four years. To illustrate: In
1860, 1899, $50 acres were planted in
corn, and 115,175,770 bushels were
raised. The total value was $4S,944,-
PIT, and the average cost of production
was 5000 per acre. The value Of
corn per acre was $1275.
In 1903, by way of contrast, 1866
$50 acres were planted in corn, and
275, 735, 500 bushels were raised, worth
$11.S7 per acre, or a total of $94,426,-
CD, and the cost of production was 80
per acre. In these forty-four years
the Illinois crop has produced a profit
in only twenty-three years. The 9th
er twenty-one years show loss
The last five years have been ex-
ceedingly profitable, showing an ag-
gregate profit of $126,0O0,000. The
total profits in the twenty-three years
are. of course, very much greater than
the total losses during the other
twenty-one years. The greatest loss
was in 1873, when it reached $4,000,
COO; in 1873, $26,o00,O00; in 1876, $685.
100000. The greatest profit was in
1864. $6O.00O,OO0; in 1867, $26,0O0OOO;
in 1888, $3o,OOO,OO0; in 1891, $4,000
GOO: in 1901, 100000; and in 1902,
S4O,OOO,OOO. Yet, in this time the cost
per acre stood at $1,000 from 1860 to
1880. Thence to 1885 it ranged about
that figure. Since 1888 it has ranged
from 1918 to 50. at which figure it
has remained for six years.

Russian Weddings.

In no country in the world, says the
author of "Wooings and Weddings in
Many Chimes" is the tie between
brother and sister closer than it is in
Russia. The brother is regarded as
her guardian equally with the ather
and as her protector even more.
In many districts when the groom
comes to claim his bride her brother
places himself beside her and with
stout stave or a drawn sword pre-
vents the groom's approach. The
twain often engage in much poetical
barter, in which the bride incites her
brother to extort a goodly price for
herself, her veil and her beauty.
Upon the wedding day the groom
comes to her parents house and claims
his bride Then there is a touching
little bit of ceremony one of those
pretty human comedies which are
called empty shows and FORMS" but
are written in warm. tender emotions.
The maiden kneels before her par
ents and, asks them to pardon her for
any and every offense toward them Of
which she may ever have been guilty.
They lift her up and kiss her: then
they together offer her bread and salt,
which signifies that while they live
they will not see her lack the neces-
saries of life.
When she leaves the house its door
is left open to signify that she may re-
turn when she will; that her giriAood's
home is still hers

COTTON IN pARAauAr.
Interesting Expositiou by the Vice
President of the Republic.

interesting N1poSltIOu Dy the VICE
President of the Republic.
A very interesting exposition of the
possibilities of cotton growing in Para
quay has been written by the vice
president of that republic, Manuel
Dominguez, and received through the
consulate of that country in Wash
ington, says the Star of that cityl
Among the features which the author
sets forth, and which are at variance
with the habits of the cotton plant in
the United States, are the term of life
of the plant there, which he claims is
ten years, and its superior productive
quality. In the United States the
plant is an annual, except in portions
of Texas and a few other places,
where it is a triennial He also says
that the cotton plant in Paraguay is
not Il plant, but a tree, and that ii
grows to that size in Asuncion. Where
the fiber of the plant is extensively
utilized he contends that there GER
tainly should be some advantage in
such a condition.
Mr.. Dominquez then asserts that the
cotton yield of Paraguay is greater to
a given area than that of any other
country in the world. 1t is well known
that cotton flourishes wherever the
orange grows. and it is said that the
Paraguayan orange is one of the finest
In the world.
The fact that the cotton tree of
Paraguay grows spontaneously and
lasts for ten years, bearing with regu-
larity, is one of the striking bits of IN
formation in the mass gathered by
the author of the statistics. Re cites
the well-known facts that the demand
for cotton is constantly on the in
crease, and that the United States is
endeavoring to supply the world with
the great staple, using this for an ar
gument that the future fortunes Of
Paraguay may be founded on this
plant.
Referring to the tremendous growth
of the cotton raising and manufacture
ing industry in the United States, he
says:
THE manufacture of cotton goods In
North America is developing. and
when that country shall manufacture
all its raw products the demand for
the latter will increase. Until now
North America depended on Europe as
Europe depended on North America,
the latter producing the cotton which
Europe consumed. But If once North
America consumes all the cotton 1t
produces Europe will be obliged to
close its factories and discharge its
workmen. 1t will be an economic
breakdown"
Mr.. Dominguez closes by appealing
to his government to foster and en-
courage the cultivation of the valuable
plant and to invite capital to take it
up, believing, he says, that ''in a short
time Paraguay could export cotton to
the value of $1O0,Oo0Ooo annually"

Minister as an Advertisement

The minister Is put to good many
uses aside from his regular clerical
duties. Sometimes he is taken advan-
tage of in the most unexpected ways.
A newly appointed English minister
was requested by his wife to stop at a
store and order some groceries. The
minister. while on his way to make a
pastoral visit, called at the shop in
question.
Some minutes passed; and as no one
appeared to attend him, he knocked on
the counter. This having no effect he
gave a smart double-rap, when a curly
headed youngster put his head round
the doorpost and llsped: Fathers

the minister had almost lost his tenn

ing me waiting all this timer" he said
sharply.

man, ''but you see, it's like this: you're

rIninue Post pnller.

Pulling posts by ordinary means IS
not an easy task, as any one who has
tried it will admit, but when some sim
pie device like that shown in the Illus
tration is used, the work is much sim
plified. A frame about three feet high
should be made of lumber four inches
square; the frame should be about
eighteen inches wide. Make roller
six inches in diameter and fasten to
the upper part of the frame as shown
and chain should be bolted to 1t near
one end as indicated. This chain
should be about four feet long with 4
hook fastened to the free end. Near
the other end of the roller bore two
holes, as shown, about three inches
apart and each hole one and one-half
inches in diameter. To operate the de-
vice place it near the post, hook the
chain around the post near the ground
then use two bars, one in each hole;

silage Fatal to Horses.

Corn silage is natural food for
milking cows and growing cattle. 1t
is useful in the ration of fattening ami
mails. 1t may be fed TO horses with
probable advantage, but it must be
fed with extreme caution.
If fed in regular amounts not ex-
ceeding ten to fifteen pounds per day,
many experiences have been entirely
satisfactory. If fed in unlimited
amounts, and especially if the silage
has been poorly made or has under
gone some further degeneration, it has
proved deadly in its effects Last win
ter in Minnesota a man came to us at
the Farmers Institute with a sorrow
full tale. He had filed his silo with
frozen corn and there was mold on the
silage. He had no hay. His horses
had been gorged with silage, having NO
other feed. They ate bushel or more
Il day They gained in flesh for time.
Then they began mysterlously to sick
en- and die. Paralysis of the throat
was one symptom. No remedy helped
them. All died, l think, and he was
poor man, in debt for his farm.
This winter friend fed silage.
What they rejected was thrown out
in yard in a rack. From this rack
cows CLEANED. One day eight horses
running in the yard ate all they want
ed of this half-spoiled silage. All died.
The symptoms We're peculiar, includ-
ing nervous spasms, and one veterin-
arian pronounced the disease hydro
phobia. 1t may possibly have been,
but fear the silage alone was respon-
sible.
This need not deter any one from
building silos. There is abundant use
for silage in the dairy barn, the cattle
yard, the sheep pens. even in the swine
pens. Let the horses have dry forage
or silage in small amounts Breeders

Home-Grown Alfalfa Seed.

Reports from Michigan farmers
on plats seeded to alfalfa show the
folly of using seed imported from Ell
rope, rather than the homegrown
seed The imported seed has a less
vitality and does not catch so WELL
and also has a lower per cent of GER
mination. While these two points are
enough to enable the farmer to see
that the homegrown seed is clearly
the best, there is one more serious
objection to the imported seed. Most
of it is found to contain a large amount
of weed seed, the most troublesome
ones being dodder and buckthorn.
One man invested something over a
hundred dollars in European seed, the
result from which was almost absolute
failure, although different plats were
sown in varying ways, some with a
nurse crop, others without Neighbors
who used the home grown seed got
good results, as the past season has
been an especially favorable one to get
q good catch
