THE SINGER AT THE
EXPOSITION.

The name of SINGER stands
for "family sewing machine in every
known language. The familiar sign
with its brilliant carmine IS" is found
in every city in the world, and no prod
uct of American skill is better known,
or has wider vogue.
The fact that Singer machines
are "made for every stitching pro-
cess" used in manufactures is not so
well known and most visitors to the
Exposition will be greatly interested
in the exhibit to be made by THE
SINGER MANUFACTURING CON-
PANY.
There will be two Singer pavil-
ions, one in the Manufactures Building,
from the American factories, and one
in the Varied Industries Building,
from the British factory.
Here one may see the practical
manufacture of Corsets, Muslin IN
derwear, Shoes, Mems Wear, etc, by
operatives from leading establish
ments in these industries There will
be machines for stitching the heaviest
rubber and leather betting, for making
a dozen dainty tucks at once, for
attaching all klnuS VI OullohS, NUNS
and eyelets, for sewing sails, for
stitching kid gloves and furs, in short,
for everything that can, or might
be stitched.
There are eighty, or more dis
tinct types of Singer sewing machines
for manufacturing purposes, and these
types are adapted to many hundred
varieties for thousand or more spe-
cial uses, all interesting and educa-
tional to the great majority of people.
The display of Art Needlework,
for which the Singer Company has
long been noted, will excel anything
previously shown; and the various
types of sewing-machines for family
use will include some new designs
recently perfected and about to be
placed on the market.

TERRIBLE SCENES.

London. oct. THE Daily Tele-

that on Sept 24-25 the Japanese made
repeated and recklessly brave attempts
to capture High hill at Port Arthur.
Owing to the destruction of the earth
works their advance was completely
unprotected. and under the rays Of the
searchlight the Russian machine guns
swept them down in masses. More
troops. however. came on with fanat-
ical bravery. leaping over the bodies
OF their dead comrades. Then the Rus

heartily with the Japanese. and that
they are excellent. hardy fighters. well

Watch Your Seed Corn.

We do not wish to unnecessarily
alarm our readers, but once more we
advise them to look carefully after
their seed corn this year. We happen
to know that some of the large seed
corn dealers, and those, too, who look
after it most carefully. have found it
very difficult to preserve the germinat-
ing qualities of seed corn this year.
The corn this year had an unusual
amount of moisture, especially in the
cob and corn that seemed perfectly
dry was found on examination to con.
tain an unusually large amount of
moisture. #ss
An Illinois correspondent some
weeks ago warned farmers that to his
personal knowledge corn that had been
picked and hung on poles in the open
air was caught by an unusual freeze
and was thereby rendered useless for
seed. Any seed corn, no matter how
we'll selected, that is subject to q
severe freeze before the cob dries out
thoroughly, is suspicious and should

An Exceptional Record.

"A writer in IN exchange stated that
he made 1881 in one year for each hen
In flock Of fifty.fivs. When asked to
give figures, he answers as follows: Il
made the money chiefly by giving the
hens the best Of care. At the close of
the season found that sales Of eggs
were 7O1 dozens, amounting to 39s ii;
73e chickens were sold for $3.50 "a. The
bill for feed amounted to e166. 6.33. ;"

have made $1,000 instead of . paltry

large scale Throwing out the feed

The irresponsible writers for the
poultry press have . great deal to
answer for. They picture profits with
poultry which only msrerialize under
expert handling. and say nothing Of
the losses met with and money LOST
in getting the experience which leads
to profits. We do not say this gentle
man did not make the profit claimed
on his fifty.five hens. but We do say
that, this profit was exceptional If
made. and that flock of similar layers
could only be secured after years Of
labor. The flock that pays q profit Of

what is contained in first class No. 2
corn. and keep it in this condition, and
there is no danger We do not believe
in keeping corn drier than this There
is no need Of it, and, reasoning from
anslagy. this extensive dryness would
injure its terminating power.
Farmers who have only enough seed

Of their neighbors in addition, can do
all this without much trouble, but the

We thought they were drunk from the
way they held their lances. Instead of
carrying them under their armpits they
waved them in the air. OF course they
were easier to guard against like that.

numbers against them nor of the fear

their ranks during that desperate ride
