Mr.. Dickson took about thirty foxes
over to the island, and they began
their work without orders. After q

enough to find out that at certain sea-

what Becomes of the Corn.

People often wonder, particularly
those who have travelled for hundreds
of miles through the corn belt, what
becomes of corn which is grown every
year. In the year 1908, when the to-
tai crop was 2,666,000,000 bushels,
241, 100000 bushels were consumed in
flour and grist mill products, 100000
bushels in the manufacture of starch,
100000 bushels for malt liquors, IT,,
100000 bushels in the production Of
distilled liquors, 100000 bushels for
glucose, 190.000000 bushels for export
and 100000 bushels for seed, max
ing a total of 51S,O0O,000 bushels, or
1913 per cent of the entire crop. The
remaining 807 per cent, or 2,118,-
100000 bushels, seems to have been
used almost entirely for feeding.

No Substitute for Honey.

Agriculture is experiencing a revival
in Russia, owing to the discovery that
sugar is no fitting substitute for honey,
especially as food for the aged, and
still less for children, so that even
dear honey is to be preferred in GER
tain instances to cheap sugar The
increase in the production of honey is
particularly noticeable in some places
where there is little forest shelter.
When sugar was an imported article
in Russia, agriculture played an i'm
portant part in the agricultural devel-
cpment of the empire. According to a
recent consular report, with the ad-
vent of good and cheap sugar, the
industry declined. Physicians pointed
out the value of honey as a medicinal
agent, and botanists drew attention
to the part played by the bees in the
pollination of fruit and field crops.
The result of their preaching seems to
be evident at present.

DoNT's FOR CHURCHMEN.

Don't initiate the saints who never
believe in snow shovels until summer.
Don't forget that you cannot fail to
increase your happiness by giving it
out
Don't forget that the brotherhood of
man will not come by turning all
into a sisterhood.
Don't imagine you are praying for
peace when you are but protesting
against punishment.
Don't fail to learn that the pleas
ures of youth are often sinful to those
who have lost them.
Don't hesitate to publish the fact
that few lawyers would be needed If
men would hate sin as they hate the
jail.
Don't fail to observe that ones
chance of being heard is sometimes In
inverse proportion to his fondness for
being heard.
Don't fail to note the difference be-
tween hope as to what you can make
out of man and faith as to what you
can make of him.

4 Question of Economy.

1t is natural for every man to want
TO get the best possible when he goes
in to bring out some new farm ma
chine. This often brings a fellow to
grief, however, since the desire to
spend as little money as possible
sometimes causes the purchaser to
take the cheap machine. If confront
ed with a proposition to take sulky
pillow, for instance, that will last five
years for S25, or another that will
last ten years for S35, which one
would you take? Which one would 1t
pay you to take? This is about the
sum and substance of buying a cheap
farm implement. 1t may not seem
that way in the warehouse - when
each tool looks gaudy with paint, the
cheaper one looking even the more
gaudy-but in actual work, in the
rough and tumble of the ranch, this
is about the way it always turns out.

A Good Thinker in Crisis.

There is a certain man living in the
upper part of Kensington who in his
earlier days, was a pioneer in the west.
Blessed with a splendid imagination. he
has brought down through the years a
series of blood curding tales. in which
Indians scalps and hand to hand fights
with grizzlies are features frequently met
with. There is no limit to the deeds he
accomplished, once his tongue is properly
set in motion.
A few days ago he was telling a story
TO a crowd of friends, and his magma
ton ran on and on with him until he
found himself pursued by band of In
dams across a level plain
Suddenly" he said glowing with the
excitement of it all, 81 came TO the edge

in johannesburg, but they serve for the
honor of their office and to promote the
public good. No man connected with our
local municipal government in any inn
portant capacity gets a salary. Times
are dreadfully slow with us, but the out
look is for improvement. Your slump
in the United States had its effect even
in our remote part of the world and
helped aggravate our bad situation. The
diamond mines of Kimberley, which have
the United States as their best custo-

their operations. Our good mines are
still producing heavily, but while they
give employment to many, they do little
to create general prosperity. "-Balti-

Increase the Acreage.

The high cost of living necessities
has impressively emphasized the neces-
sity of increased agricultural produc-
ton. The increased cost of living falls
heavily on the inhabitants of cities,
who commence to appreciate that the
population of the nation is growing
faster than agricultural production
The limited surplus and the urgent
consumptive demand have advanced
prices of farm products to historical
heights. There appears to be no pan
acea for present conditions except to
increase the acreage under crop cul-

NEGRO CADDIEs DOWN SOUTH.
Obliging and Cheerful Helpers the Visit
ing Golfer Finds Them.

The winter resort golf players meets
a refreshing novelty in the negro caddy-
Sometimes the hoy" is grizzled old
fellow rising SO. who totes the bag OF
clubs about with the alacrity of youth.
The caddies come in all sizes from 6
feet or more with the muscular build of
prize fighter down to lads just about
able to handle the bag; but no matter
what his age or size the negro caddy has
infinite ability to be cheerful. He doesn't
adopt the somewhat cynical manner OF
the white caddy, and his manners are
better.
For another thing the black lad ordi-
narily has the eye of a hawk and traces
the balls with marvellous sureness. One
caddy said he hadn't lost ball III the
two years he had been caddying, which
is remarkable record.
The negro caddy comes, into his work
with an amiable idea that he is the
partner of his employer. The ball is
ours Whose ball is that near the
pin?' asks the golfer. That's ours, SIR,
the caddy says.
When the golfer gets off good long
ball from the tee, the caddy does lot OF
quiet roofing. ride on, ball, ride on,
he calls, much as if he were rolling the
bones and roofing for his number to
come up. lie does his best to coax the
ball into the cup, too, in much the same
way, but his sense of etiquette Is TOO
strong to permit him to make any noise
while the play is actually being, made.
No matter how much of dub be has
for Ooss at the time, he doesn't sheer or
say anything impertinent, which is a re-
lief to the player from up north, who
knows the unpleasant habits of some OF
the white caddies. The only bad habit
the boy has is to gamble on the result or
the match he's accompanying 1t can be
seen what test of cheerfulness 1t is Tor
him when his player is a dub and misses
an easy shot for the hole and so throws
away the bet.

Death Among Chicks.

The trouble which causes the death
of many young chicks is commonly
known as white diarrhea. Different
breeders have different theories as to
the cause of this trouble, among them
being a lack of vitality of breeding
stock, improper. feeding and poor wen.
tilation. Lack of sunlight and imper-
feet sanitation cause the death Of
many chicks The diet should contain
a sufficient quantity of animal food
and the chicks fed often and not al
lowed to get so hungry that they will
devour large quantities at times and
then fast for long intervals.-South

hymn. 1t appeared as a poem In q
different form in 1852 and the present
meter was not adopted until 1859. Since
then the song has been generally used and
counted favorite both for church SER
vices and for home and individual use
One sWeety solemn thought
Comes to me DER and Ger
Nearer my home, to-day, am
Than e'er I've been before.
Nearer my Fathers house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer to- day the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea.
Nearer the bound of life,
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the heavy cross;
Nearer to gain the crown.
But, lying dark between,
Winding down through the night,
There rolls the deep and unknown
stream
That leads at last to light
Evn now, perchance, my feet
Are slipping on the brink,
And /, to-day, am nearer home
Nearer than now I think.
Father, perfect my trust!
Strengthen my power of faith!
Nor let me stand, at last, alone
Upon the shore of death.
