Corn in British India.

The cultivation of Indian corn, or
maize, has within the past century

we consider the whole of India col

Importance with wheat. In the billy

a means OF subsistence. Yet the bot.

gul dynasty. But there is no name
for maize in Sanskrit and. the grain
has no recognized place N the re-
ligious or social ceremonies of the
Hindus. Few of those who cultivate
IT now have any idea that it is an

The Benefit of Prayer

The undoubted habit of civilized
men and women the world over to
resort to prayer when in acute dis.
fFrss, no matter what their religion
may be, gives evidence of a human
instinct which neither argument nor
disappointment is able to eradicate.
Pun suing this line of reasoning, a re-
cent contributor to the London Spec
'tatOr points out that those who desire
tn be delivered from some sudden
pain or peril do not ask to have words
fDssnd for them in which they may ex-
press themselves. and they do not turn
TO the Lords Prayer or the Bible.
Christ suggested to all men to pray
every day for the means of livelihood,
and His followers, by their own ac-
count, prayed for temporal blessings.
Our Lord himself-with the reserva-
NtiOn of complete obedience to Gods
wili-prayed fervently that the doom
He foresaw might be averted. Again.

between spiritual and temporal bene-
fits. so complex is the world we live

TICK IN SEED SelIln9.
me Grain Dealers National Associ
atlon, recently in session in Milwau
nee, passed the following resolutions:
whereas, Seed houses do a large
business In the sale of seed grains,
ana thereby may materially affect the
general business of the crops of grain
Illus produced, either for better or
worse; and,
whereas, It is known that seed
mus sold by seed houses does not al
ways possess the merit of type and
nreeolng sufficient to meet the expec-
tatlons OF the purchaser, and in fact
oiten does not tend to raise the
standard of the general crops pro-
ouced. For example it has been too
common a practice for seedsmen to
purchase ordinary corn from farmers
crlDs and sell the same under special
brands when in fact it possessed no
special merit whatever, with respect
10 type and breeding, and the same is
true IN regard to other grains: there.
tore,
Resolved, That the Grain Dealers
National Association, now in conven-
tlon assembled in Milwaukee this 23d
day OF June. 1904, does hereby urgent
~ request all firms engaged in the
selnng OF seed grain to adopt lire
OF business policy that will result in
giving more attention to the questions
OF type and breeding and adaptability

Resolved. That the secretary be in
structed to send copy of this rcso-
luton to all the principal firms en-
gagged in the business of selling seed

The practice against which the res.
olut1on Is directed is one that has
long been condemned by conscientious

no: the power to pray that life may
return to the body; but who can tell
how many calamities may have been
avoided by spiritual suggestion? To
deny that instances of answers to
prayer have occurred is, in the opinion
OF the present writer at least. to shut
ones eyes to evidence.
The explanation of the whole mat.
ter which commends itself to our
mind is this-that prayer is a bene-
cent force to which our instinct bears
witness. That which we so dimly re-
alize, our Lord, with His infinitely
greater spiritual sensitiveness, clear
ly saw-so clearly that He could hard
ly find words strong enough to ex-
press His meaning, or to impress it
upon the minds of His followers. He
speaks as though those who pray put
in motion some force whose working
is as certain as that of any law of
nature, and He teaches this as part
of the Christian faith. But exactly
how that law works we do not know,
and He did not explain. Why He did

JAPANESE JOURNALISM.
Rapidly Assuming Same Enterprise as

RAPIDLY Assuming Same Enterprise aS
in America.
Japanese Journalism is developing
on Western lines, and with surprising
rapidity. The events of the present
war are responsible for the extras
which are sold on the street in Amer.
lean fashion. The newsmen are bare.
legged, with a sort of napkin around
the head and small bell at the belt,
which rings as they CO. When the
war news is lively the extras come out
in a correspondingly lively manner,
one after the other, and are literally
patrOnized. The sensational reporter
has appeared there, as we'll as the fe
male journalist.
One consequence of this is that
journalism here and there. begins to
pay, where formerly it had to be sub.
'sidized as matter of patriotism and
public spirit. There is an English
column in all the papers, and English
is studied in all the schools. The coun.
try has 600 newspapers in all, and q
number Of them have respectively q
circulation exceeding 100000 copies
AS guides and directors of public opin.
ion they are perhaps not inferior to
our own. Altogether, Japanese jour.
nalism, though in its infancy, has a
bright future before it, and will likely
keep pace with the progress of the
country it serves.-Chicago Journal.

armies are doing this, my countrymen
are resting. They don't even police

Loss in Over.Ripe Wheat.

In 1879, DR.. r. c. kedzie, in an ex.
haustive study of the ripening of
wheat, pointed out that there was a
slight loss in weight between com.
plete ripeness and the stage generally
designated as dead ripe. Subsequent
experiment at this college and else.
where have given like results. There
is not only loss by Smelling when
the grain becomes over-ripe, but a
given number of well dried kernels
or the product of given area, kept
in the ordinary manner, will weigh
less If taken from an over-ripe field
than if taken from field cut at the
proper time. Moreover, the amount
and quality of the -four produced and
the terminating vigor of the grain
itself are less il the wheat is allowed
to become over-ripe than il cut at an
early period. These facts are now
we'll recognized by farmers, and ordi.
nary practice is regulated by this
knowledge. The loss in Smelling is un.
doubtedly the most important one. and
fortunately it can be controlled in a
large measure by proper selection Of
varieties combined with harvesting
at the proper season.-Michigan Sta.

When Salt Appears i'm Butter.

In the summer time it is quite com.
mon to see butter with salt standing
on 1t. Agricultural papers frequently
receive letters asking why the salt
comes out on the butter. The explana.
ton is simple and the butter can be
easily kept in normal condition. The
salt comes out of the butter simply
because the butter is kept in a dry
atmosphere. This causes the mois.
ture in the butter to move toward
the surface of the butter and evapor
ate into the air. AS it was salt water
in the butter it is salt water when il
gets to the surface of the, butter
But in evaporating it cannot take the
salt with it, but has to leave it. At
first the amount of salt deposited is
so small that the residue of salt Is
not noticed. Later, however, the &C.
foundations become so large that they
are apparent to the eye. II the but.
ter were weighed before the evapora.
ton and afterward it would be found
that the loss of weight had been con.
siderable. Keeping the butter in
moist place will prevent the accun1u.
lation of salt. II the place where the
butter is stored is opened several
times a day it will be advisable to
keep crock of water in it, that the
evaporation may regulate ITSELF But
where butter is stored in a cool place
that is not often opened there will be
little trouble from this cause. The
lower the temperature the less the
evaporation. Places where the tenn.
perature is high and ventilation good
dry out the butter quickly and leave II
covered with salt.

Thickness Of Cream at churmina Tin

Thickness Of Cream at churmina Time
A wellknown buttermaker says that
the richer the cream the lower must
be the temperature at which It must
be churned to get the best OF results.
1t Is not desirable to have the butter.
rat comprise more than 30 per cent
OF the cream. Even cream of this
richness should be churned at about
so degrees, which is a very low point
to secure this time of year. II this
rich cream is churned at . higher
point the body of the butter will not
be what it should be. The housewife
is not likely, however, to have cream
of this kind unless the milk Is from
COWS whose cream forms . very com.
pact mass. Cows differ greatly in this
respect. The cream layer on the
milk Of some animals is so compact
and cohesive that when it is removed
from the milk it hangs together much
like a piece of leather. Other milk
yields layer of cream that breaks
to pieces readily. This milk will not
churn quickly. In fact we have known
the first described cream to form but.
ter after being churned for two min.
utes in common dash churn. It Is
considered best, however, to dilute
such cream, as it is not believed that
butter churned in two minutes has
as good qualities as that requiring
twenty minutes or thereabout to churn.
