BOOK NEWS.

Every month certain literary maya,
zines announce the most popular novels
or "best- selling books as shown by the
actual sales all over the country, but few
people realize how many factors besides
merit are involved in the struggle for
place. The other day. for example, a
member of New York publishing house
dropped into a small bookshop just off
lower Broadway to see how one OF his
firms latest books was selling in the busy
office district. The book in question was

and with scenes from the opera The
second book is 1.-The Trouble Woman" by
Clara Morris, story which, when pub
lished in a popular magazine, elected
from readers who had been comforted by
it so many requests for it's publication
in a handler and more permanent form
that the author consented, and chose the
Hour Glass series as the medium of it's
temperance. The little story, which is
drawn from Miss Morris own experience,
is an "o'er tragic tale, yet it carries
the most cheering of messages. Its un--
obtrusive moral IS that the way to find
consolation for ones own trouble is to
consider those of others, and to lend a
helping hand.

statements to appear from close per-

try is far from being a unit in regard

cumbent of the presidential chair, Is
questionable taste, to say the least.
Considering his ambitions, and know
ing the temper of the people, it seems
exceedingly strange that he should al
low such a worshipper of him, as he
must know Mr.. Riis to be. to publish
his biography at this time without
personal supervision. For the book is
not calculated to win votes; it simply
provokes a sneer and raises a laugh.
We should say it was a case of over
description. Of course due allowances
should be made for the fact that Mr..
Riis owes much to Mr.. Roosevelt.
When police commissioner of New
York he had a chance to hold up Mr..
Riis' hands, and he, indeed, gave him
the first support and encouragement
that he had received in his fight for
the betterment of the denizens of the
East side. No wonder that Mr.. Riis
loves him and speaks well of him, but
he should have considered long before
writing his real thoughts of his friend
whether or not it was going to help him
or injure him.
He begins with Mr.. Roosevelt's life

with the hearty approval of Sunshine

CORN AVERSATILE PRODUCT
Pith of Stalks Is Used in Manufacture
of Smokeless Powder, VAR
nish and Paper.

Probably few things that grow are
capable of so many uses or are as COM
pletely used as corn, says a writer in
the New York Times. The grain is
used for food both for human beings
and cattle, while the stalks are used
as cattle feed. The pith OF the corn
stalks is used in the manufacture of
smokeless powder, in the manufacture
of high grade varnish. and in the man
ufacture of paper. The woody por-
tons are used in the manufacture OF
a cheap quality of paper.
As a food corn is supplied in many
forms. The most familiar are as meal,
hominy and grits. Practically all the
starch that is used in the United States
is made from corn. Immense Quanti-
ties are also used in the manufacture
of glucose, which, among other things,
enters largely into the manufacture Of
beer, as a substitute for malt.
A large quantity of cor is used an
nually in the manufacture of whisky,
and nearly $4,000, 600 bushels are used
every year in the manufacture of col
ogne spirits and alcohol. Even In the
manufacture of these products nothing
is lost. The glutinous and other resi-
dues in the manufacture of starch, glu-
coSe, whisky and alcohol are used as
cattle feed.

The farm requires an organized we'll
thought-out plan of work. The farmer
who lies awake nights to plan his
years work, so that he may have the
largest returns for his undertaking in
marketable products, gives the same
kind Of effort as the inventor. Our
present complex and highly,organized
industrial and commercial system de-
mands intelligence of tho highest or.
der, and the safety and perpetuity Of
this industrial and commercial system
depends not upon the intelligence Of
the few but upon the intelligence Of
the masses. Keeping in view that edu-
cation is necessary in all branches Of
business, more necessary in agriculture
than in. many other callings, with the
modern appliances and ~convenieEces in
reach of all, farming a and should
be made the best occupation Of man.
In this connection we mus consider
education not in the sense alone Of
schools and colleges, but also in that
broadening and developing of the
mind which comes to n In mature
years.-Cor. Epitomist.

RAISING HOGS FOR PROFIT.

1t is a fact that the greatest profit
in raising hogs for the market lies
in forcing their feeding from time Of
birth until ready to go into the mar
ket. One days careful attention and
good feeding will more than equal
two days poor feeding. Do not neg
lect them a single day. a business
man can not neglect his store two
or three days in the week and expect
to profit as the mar who gives 1t his
careful attention every day. Neither
can you neglect your hogs and make
the profit your neighbor docs by care
full daily attention. If you raise hogs,
and give them only half care, you
will be disappointed by not receiving
satisfactory returns. They need care
full attention and the best of feed to
make you successful in rearing them
up. They must Be warm in winter and
cool In summer, and you must always
be on your guard against disease. The
man who uses his brain is the mar
who makes the money. and not the
mar who performs labor without
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

This is how the American cotton
crop is going to be saved.
The little brown ant of Guatemala
was discovered in the most casual
manner One day Mr.. o. F. Cook, bot
anist of the department of agriculture,
was sent TO Central America TO inves-
tigate and report upon the cultivation
Of the coffee and rubber plants. Sud-
denly he reached a cotton-growing dis
trict In Guatemala, from which boil
weevil was conspicuous by its absence.
Mr.. Cook had been tremendously inter-
ested In the boil weevil, the cause Of a
so per cent decrease of the cotton yield
in certain parts of Texas and of almost
equally heavy losses in other states.
Knowing that climatic and soil condi-
lions In Guatemala closely approached
that of the devastated Texas counties,
he marveled that the boil weevil was
not IN evidence. With a scientist, to
marvel first is to investigate immedi-
ately afterward. Mr.. Cook investigated.
Looking for the boil weevil he discov-
cred the little brown ant which had ex-
terminated the boil weevil.
He found that this ant came from the
plateau region of Guatemala, and that
it had invaded the cotton fields and
speedily made away with tho boil wee
vii pest. 1t subsisted on food contained
in three sets OF extra floral hectares
growing along with the cotton, but the
cotton plan itself was not touched in a
harmful way. 1t seemed to have been
created for the special purpose Of kill
