GOOD IN SPOTS.
One Man Who Discovered That War
Was Not Wholly Bad.

Lem Jackson loved to loaf. He lived
In the mountains not far from Green
vile, Tenn, with his wife and large
brood of children. Lem had "houn'
dawg' that he set great store by. and
he spent most Of his time lounging in
a runway waiting to shoot deer driv-
en- in by old Bose or sprawling on the
bank Of a stream fishing. In that way
he was a good provider after fash
ion. but not all the urging, scolding.
nagging and demonstrating of his
shrewish wife could drive him to work.
Lem led the lazy life of Rip Van
Wrinkle until the outbreak Of the civil
war, and then he joile6 the CCnfed-
crate army At the end Of six months
Lem was shot through the right thigh,
and it was long before he was able to
limp out Of the hospital and back to
his regiment. In the second year he
vas shot in the left shoulder, and when
lie returned to duty his left hand was
bent far back by a shortened tendon,
but he was still able to raise his rifle.
Early in the fourth year they got him
again-a musket ball through the body
but he was back In the ranks long
before the fighting was ended. Every
one wondered at LENS persistence in
sticking to the terrible trade of war.
Dr. Girdner met Lem hobbling down
the street in Greenville one morning
in June. 1866. still pale and weak from
his latest wound. his right leg short
and wabbly, his left hand stiffly bent
back
"Glad to see you alive, Lem" said
the doctor. Il suppose you're glad to
be home again?"
"Waal," Lem admitted without en-
thusiasm. 81 s'pose had to git erlong
home Gin'ral Lee he surrindered us
down to Appomattox. an we all had
to go home"
"But aren't you glad to be away from
the dangers of WARP"
why. doc. war hain't so bad" cried
honest Lem-"war hain't so bad.
There's lots of days when you don't
have nothin' to do."-Harper's Weekly.

The great euk, northern diving
bird, used to exist in the arctic regions
also. Now. this splendid bird was Sc
riously handicapped by the fact that
it laid only one egg in q season and
so could not afford to be slaughtered
at all. But it was hunted and shot
without discrimination. A few sur
ViYing hundreds took refuge on a des-
olate rock far out to sea, but one fatal
day a vessel contrived to land on this
rock. and the crew shot nearly the en-
tire rookery. Finally nature herself
rose up. There was a cataclysm, the
rock sank into the sea, and that was
the last of the great aux.

BELIEVES The PEST
Can BE ANNIHILATED
Thinks 1t Is Not At All Necessary
For Farmers OF Forrest County To
Depend Entirely On The Cotton
Crop.

There seems to be quite a differ
ence of opinion among the farmers as
to the nature of the boil weevil and
their work. Some even doubt their
work being so destructive, and even
say that the boil weevil' is all a
scare and that they can raise cotton
right on the same old way and not be
bothered with the weevils. And "a I
have been asked so often as to the
conditions that will prevail here next
year with the farmers, and especially
with regard to raising cotton since
the boil weevil has fully infested our
country we know from actual obser-
walton and from reports from infested
districts what has happened there and
OF course we expect the same thing
here.
First, I will say that I do not want
to be on the extreme either way in
the matter, and with conditions as
they are I do not advise any one to

depend On cotton crop, altogether
as money crop next year, nor would
l advise this If we had no weevils al
all, for have always said that a one
or even two system crop is a failure
and the man who depends on cotton
crop to buy everything else he needs
is a failure 1 do not want to be un.
derstood to advise the elimination of
cotton from our crops for l am sure
We can grow cotton despite the weevil,
thought it will be possibly a little
more expensive than before, we can
not cultivate SO many acres as we
might have done before but by using
some precautions we can grow some
cotton and with present prices of cot
ton and seed with everything to indi-
cate higher prices 1 am sure we do not
want to quit raising cotton.
How are we to do this?
First, we want to destroy as many
weevils as possible this fall. This We
can do by burning our cotton stalks
early, as soon as we have finished
picking cotton we must take a pillow
and pillow out the stalks, rake them in
piles, leave them a few days to dry
and to give the weevils that might
have been knocked of a chance to get
back on the stalks and then burn
them, also burn all the stumps, clean
off all fence rows, terraces, and leave
no place to hide and be sure to do
this before frost and you will destroy
at least rs per cent of the adult wee
wills before they have a chance to go
into winter quarters.
In the counties of southwest Mfssis-
sippi where the weevil condition last
year was about the same as 1t is here
now, the farmers who destroyed their
stalks and followed the instructions
Of the Government, have made a fairly
good yield of cotton this year and
those not doing so have made almost
a complete failure.
Second, we want to thoroughly pre-
pare our lands before planting our
cotton, to do this the land should be
well broke, as early as possible this
fall, and cover crop planted there
on, say, rye, oats, barley or wheat,
which will make us a good green pas
ture all the winter and early in the
spring pillow this under and it will add
humus to the land, then thoroughly

Harvesting the Crop.

The production of such an enormous
quantity. of a perishable food product,
as the result of growing a plant the
whole life Of which lasts but a few
months, has brought into use many
labor-saving devices which are applied
to the preparation of the ground, to
planting, to cultivating and to har-
vesting and storing. If the methods
followed fifty years ago in growing,
caring for and harvesting the corn
crop had to be used today, It would
take nearly half the population of the
country to meet the emergency.
Horsepower has been made to take
the place of man-power, SO that with
improved gang-plows, planters which
mark the ground, open the burrows
and drop and cover the seed, riding
cultivators, corn-harvesters and bind
ers, pickers and huskers, and portable
elevators and filters, a great saving
Of labor is effected.
Even with all such improvements,
enormous quantities Of this crop &C
tually go to waste. This is true of
the grain, but 1t is especially true of
other parts Of the plant which, owing
to the prodigal way nature provides
for us, have not become appreciated.
Millions Of tons Of stalks are practi-
cally wasted every year simply be-
cause, under existing economic condi-
tons, it would not pay to save them.
If the methods followed in the Eastern
States in cutting and caring for the
corn harvest had to be followed in
one of our big corn-growing states,
like Illinois or Iowa, it would take
more than half million extra men
to handle the corn during the period
in which the grain must be brought
in from the field and stored.
With the increasing population and
the consequent need for conserving
more carefully the products of the
soil, the necessity for utilizing to the
fullest extent plant such as this
becomes more pressing. In the earlier
days the chief use of corn was as
food in the form of meal. The old
water grist-mills, by means of which
the entire kernel was ground into
meal, are still to be found in certain
sections of the country, but are rap
idly being abandoned.

Gluten and Glucose,

In the production of starch certain
by-products are secured, one of which
is gluten. This gluten, mixed with
fibrous material from the grain, is
ground into meal and sold for feeding
live stock, especially mich COWS.
Corn flakes are made from grits
previously prepared from good white
corn, and then sailed and sugared.
These grits are cooked by steam,
dried and rolled into flakes or waters,
and Drowned in a special form of
oven.
A corn product which is coming into
extensive use is glucose, made from
starch, water and sulphuric acid. Con.
PETITIONERS use large quantities of
glucose, which is a colorless, sweet
ish strip, useful as food when proper
ly taken. Nearly two hundred mil
lion pounds Of glucose are sent out
Of this country each year to all parts
Of the world.
From corn-starch also comes dextrin

WISE MULE.

CFrom the Memphis News-Scimitar. J
There is big, black mule owned by
the city and driven by a giant equally
as black, which has more 'horse
sense" than is usually credited to his
species.
From general appearance he is an
ordinary mule and would attract no
more attention than any other beast
of burden pulling a yellow street de-
partment dump cart. Nor would his
ebony-hued driver. The latter wore
the regulation yellow garb and shov-
eled like any other street laborer. but
1t was his system and his charges
remarkable intelligence that caused

After shoveling a large pile of de-
bris into his cart, the driver struck
the side Of his cart with his shovel
and spake: Oats ALL

straight on line several feet out from
the curb. His driver followed and

refuse. the black man halted and

so forth, are manufactured from a
mixture of the corn-oil and rubber.
The vulcanized oil is used extensively
in surfacing linoleum and oilcloth, and
is applied to number of other pur-
poses. After the oil is extracted,
there Ia left a valuable residuum
known as corn-oil cake, which is sold
extensively here and abroad, and is
used in the fattening of sheep and
other animals. Nearly fifty million
pounds of this material are annually
shipped to Great Britain and Germany,
and there used by thrifty farmers, who
find 1t cheaper than materials of a
similar nature which they can grow
at home.
Large quantities of corn, mostly Of
the best grades, are made into flour,
starch, grits and flakes. The flour
proper is a form of starch prepared
by washing the ground grain with
weak alkali solutions, thus removing
nearly everything except the pure
starch grains. By mechanical and
chemical processes the starch, which
forms more than half the corn grain,
is separated from the other parts Of
the grain, and constitutes a very i'm.
portant item of manufacture.

The Infinite Uses of Corn.

Corn-meal, when made from the
whole kernel, will not keep for any
length of time; hence, as the handling
of meal became large commercial
problem, improved machinery was
necessary to prepare form of meal
which could be shipped from place to
place, and which would not
become rancid. The modern
mills, therefore, are provided
with machinery for the elimina-
ton of the germ in which the greater
portion of the oil is found. This oil,
while adding to the value of the meal
as food, destroys its keeping quality.
By ingenious devices the germs are
eliminated, and the rest of the kernel
is made into corn-meal Immense
quantities of this meal are sold at
home, and it is rapidly becoming ap-
preciated abroad. Our exports now
amount to nearly eight hundred thou
sand barrels, valued at about two and
half million dollars.
The meal, as prepared at the pres
ent time, is used extensively for mix
ing with flour from wheat and other
grains, especially in foreign countries,
and is then baked into a nutritious
and much-used bread. In Italy great
quantities of bread are made from
mixture of corn-meal and rye flour.
The germ which is separated from
the grain at the time Of the milling
process, as already explained, contain
large quantities of oil. This is ex-
tracted by chemical and mechanical
processes, and constitutes a product
which is coming into use in. the man.

other purpose. Nearly four million
gallons of corr-oil are produced in
this country ann2 ally. The oil enters

products containing rubber. The

water bags, rubber glos es, boots, and

MURDERS INCREASING.

rs it true that murders are increas
ing?" was asked if DR.. J. H. Kellogg
the superintendent of the sanitarium
at Battle Creek, Mich.
1T is indeed a fact" was the re
ply. There were 10000 murders last
year in the United States-twice as
many in proportion to the population
as In India. We do not need to send
missionaries to India. Senator Hoa1
once said that the great question be
fore US is not how to civilize the
heather, but how to get the heather
out of our civilization"

ders is due to insanity" the doctor
was asked.
That is undoubtedly one great
cause, for insanity itself is increasing
at an alarming rate. You know, don't
you," he said, that we have 10000
insane in asylums-and greater
number at liberty?
Statistics show the increse in in
sanity for the whole country to be 300
per cent in fifty years." DR.. Kellogg
continued. In some portions Of the
country the increase has been double
this. Fifty years ago the total num-
Der of insane was about 600 to the
million. At the present time New
York state produces 500 lunatics to
the million annually. New York has
over 10000 lunatics shut up in insti-
buttons, probably twice as many out
side. This enormous insane popula-
ton is being constantly increased by
an annual crop of $500 lunatics. The
proportion of insane in New York at
the present time is $3.50 to the mil
lion, more than six times the proper
ton fifty years ago. At the present
rate of extension this blot upon the
brain will within few centuries affect
the whole population"
What is the remedy? Aren't the
doctors the ones who ought to be able
to cure these conditions?"
They ought to be able to do it, but
they are not" DR.. Kellogg replied. In
the first place, they have not sufficient
information at their command in re-
gard to the causes of chronic diseases,
with which insanity may be classed.
We know a good deal about acute dis
eases and have largely decreased the
death rate from them, but the causes
of chronic diseases-such as insanity.
cancer, Brights disease heart dis
ease, arteriosclerosis-are largely
shrouded in mystery. We need a
national department OF health to study
these causes and then inform the peo-
ple.'
