BLOODTHIRSTY FERRETs.
They Kill Not For Food, but For the

They Kill Not For Food, but For the
Mere Sake of Slaughter.
The ferret is one of the most pecu-
liar members of the animal kingdom
1t belongs also to an extraordinary
family. that Of the weasels. A branch
of this family is called the polecats.
the European representative of our
skunks. and the ferret is a species of
polecat. generally an albino, yellowish
white in color. with pink eyes.
To hunt and kill mice, rats. rabbits
and other small animals is the ferret's
delight. 1t is coldly methodical in its
nurderous pursuits. and. while it
serves its master well, never firing In
the chase and never shrinking from an
attack, it exhibits no trace of affection
or attachment toward its trainers, as
nobler animals do. The ferret is a
typical killer and blood shedder. 1t has
no friends and apparently wants none.
1t cannot be trusted and will some
times attack small children.
1t likes to kill not for the sake of
food. but for the sake of killing. The
mere act of taking the life Of another
creature is a pleasure to it. How it
got this bloodthirsty strain in its ma
ture no one can tell. Its appetite for
slaughter serves we'll in Kidding our
houses of rats and mice, but of what
use is it to the ferret to kill those crea,
lures? It's nature is that of demon,
and wherever it sees the life blood
beating at a throat its brutal instinct
urges it to slit the throat with its keen
teeth and let the life throb out!-New

WAS GREAT SEAL OFFICIAL
"chaffwax" Was Proud Of His Con-
nection With England's Off,
cial Stamp.

The great seal, which Lord Haldane
handed to the king on resignIng Of
flee, is a more elaborate article than
most people imagine. 1t cost about
&700 to make, and consists of two
heavy silver plates, in one of which
Is cut the impression for the front
of the device; in the other that for
the back. When the seal is to be
affixed, lump of wax is softened in
hot water, then cooled in cold, after
which 1t is placed between the two
plates and pressed, emerging in the
shape of a disk, with an impression
on each side. This is put in plated
case and attached to the document
by means of tag embedded in wax.
At one time the great seal had an
official attached to it who was quite
as proud of his Office as the lord chan
cellor was Of his. This was CHAT
wax" whose sole business it was to
melt the wax and take impressions Of
the great seal when required. And
the writer remembers the last of the
"Chaffwaxes," rosy-cheeked old gen.
tleman, who lived long enough to en-
Joy the pension which grateful coun-
try granted him for his important du-
ties. These are now performed by

Eight Cornstalks Worth $1,000.

William E. Kelley, of Hutchinson,
Kansas, is raising perhaps the most
valuable crop of corn ever produc-
ed in Kansas. There are only eight
stalks of corn and they are growing
in Kelley's back yard. But he ex-
poets to realize a net profit of
ST 900 from the crop.
Last spring Rev. E. B. Pratt, a
Baptist minister of Hutchinson,
while on a visit in New Mexico dis
covered an ancient ruin, within
which was found sealed an Indian
jar containing few kernels of an.
cient corn. Achaeologists figure
the corn to be at least 1000 years
old. Rev. Pratt gave ten grains to
Kelley and he planted them. Eight
of the ten grew, the stalks growing
more rapidly than the ordinary
corn. The Aztec corn grows taller
than ordinary corn. but the ears are
much smaller. The kernels are
yellow with a red botch at the top.
Twenty ears are hanging on the
eight stalks. My crop is in great
demand" said Kelley. I have
been offered 81 a kernel for the
crop. If it natures believe the
eight stalks will net me $1,000
With each kernel will 60 a certifi-

safety Razors Popular In Chile.

An agent of the department of COM
merce has visited a number Of razor
dealers in Santiago, Chile, and found
that the only United States razors'
sold are of the safety" type. In 1913,
1882 dozen razors were imported into
the country, and of this number only
LOOP dozen came from the United
States, most of the others being from
Germany and England. Several deal
ers said they were now out or stock

Cream is Wealth.

We sounded the slogan last week
for a bigger and better dairy bust
ness among our farmers, as one
sure means of generally improving
the productivity of the soil and
making all more prosperous.
In making this campaign, the
Democrat has only the best inter-
ests of the community at heart and
the evidence is overwhelming that
dairying is the most profitable part
of farming
1t has made Wisconsin, once poor
one of the wealthiest states in the
union. 1t has done almost equally
as well for Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and many others in a
lesser degree.
1t can be made to do as much
here, and considering that dairyine
is a daily cash crop and safer than
straight grain farming, it should ap-
peal to ALL
Care, however. should be exercis-
ed in selecting good cows and in
giving them proper attention, and
the Missouri State University at
Columbia in the great Josephine
has already shown that under these
circumstances over 1900 pounds
of milk can be produced at a profit
of over $125.00 a year. When
you add the valuable profit of the
manure in the way of increased fer
tility and greater crop production
can you really afford to hesitate?
Think it over!
Consider too, that ton of wheat
takes $500 worth of fertility from

$1,000 a ton, and butter over

Corn on the Cob at Christmas.

The thought of roasting ears in

alike to the owner of a small gar
