Seed Cora Breed la a Para.
Corn-breeding work, still In Its In
fancy, already has spelled profit for
many growers. Material Increases in
yield, due In large measure to plant
ing Improved tested seed, have been so
general that farmers everywhere are
adopting better methods of seed selec
tion. And other countries, noting what
r baa been accomplished by American
corn breeders, have taken steps to fol
low their example. Recently an Ameri
can seed-corn breeding company ship
ped 1300 bushels of corn to the agri
cultural department of the Egyptian
government The same company has
also exported an order of 10,000 pounds
of seed corn to Australia, where It will
be used In breeding work conducted by
the agricultural authorities of that
country. It Is to the corn belt of
America that the peoples of the earth
come for corn. Our corn crop Is the
envy of all civilized countries which
cannot or do not grow corn.
'White Pekla Docks.
The White Pekln is a popular duck
which has a distinctive type especially
Its own, and differing from all others
in the shape and carriage of Its body.
The legs are set far back, which causes
the bird to walk In an upright position.
In size these ducks are very large, some
reaching as high as twenty pounds to
the pair. Their flesh Is very delicate
and free from grossness, and they are
considered among the best of table

fowls. They are excellent layers, aver
aging from 100 to 130 eggs each In a
season. They are non-setters, hardy,
easily raised and the earliest In matur
ing of any ducks.
The Guinea Is. said to be a native of
western Africa and Is very active
bird of rather wild nature. The wild
nature of the beautiful fowls Is au ob
jection with many poultryuien. There
are two breeds of guineas, the pearl
and the white guinea. The earl guinea
la of a wilder disposition thau the
white guinea. I With breeds are about
the same slae. The flesh of the pearl
guinea la darker than that of .the
white, which makes the white guinea
preferable a t table fowl Both breeds
of guineas are good summer egg pro
ducers. They begin laying In April or
May and continue to lay until late In
the fall. The pearl guinea Is very sen
sitive about having her nest disturbed
and often leaves the nest If a part of
her egga are removed. The white guinea
Is not so particular about her nest and
will continue to lay In the nest If only
one egg Is left In It. Our white guineas
often lay In the nest boxes In the hiu1
try bouse with the chicken hens.
Gulueas are valuable Insect destroyers.
They will eat Insects that the chickens
!U not; such as the potato bug and
gooseberry worm, I noticed our guineas
picking the worms off the gooseberry
bushes and not a worm escaped that
the guineas could reach. They picked
the worms off as high as they- could

Haw ta Girdle Grape Viae.
The girdling or ringing of grapevine
Is done to Increase the size of each
cluster. It Is not done generally, how
ever, although some find the method
profitable. The bark Is entirely re
moved below the fruit cluster about a
mouth before the period of ripening
which hastens maturity about a week
or two and enlarges the bunch and
berries. The sap ascends through the
pores of the wood to sustain growth.
but the elaborated sap descends through
the wood and the bark and can go no
lower than the point at which the gir
dle Is' made, where It stops and Is util
ized In feeding the graiies. Some In-
Jury Is done the vine below the girdle,
and hence It may not pay on an exten
sive scale.

Make It a point this summer to find
out some crop or vegetable everybody
seems to want, and that no one has
grown to any extent In your neighbor
hood, and grow that yourself next year.
It Is quite possible to make a crop of
peppers, cauliflower, spinach or egg
plant or some other unusual thing, one
of the most profitable crops on the
farm. If the demand Is good and the
supply In your neighborhood limited,
the same thing Is often true of squash.

riVLINO THIWAR CHUT.
Daw a Projected Mevotatloa Was TU
aaeod with 'Phaar" Maaer.
The ways of tlie South American
republics are funny." exclaimed an old
globe trotter, glancing up from the copy
of the Evening Star, which coutalned
the advice from New York setting
forth the efforts of certain Spaulsu
Amerlcan gentlemen to get the I'nlted
State to buy stock In a revolutionary
movement lu Venezuela.
Tboae people are plumb crazy on
the subject of revolutions. They seeiu
to think they can repair all sort of
damaged fortunes through the medium
of an uprising, and uiaybe they don't
work at It And that remind me of
a revolution I once had the pleasure of
being Introduced to, which, though It
didn't revolute so a you could see It
very plainly, still, was started on the
best possible basis. The men In charge
of this affair were alinlug to get con
trol of the treasury and territory of
one of the Cen'ral American States,
and they went snout it In a systematic
way. Now, there Is but one thing at
the bottom of any of those sudden
transfer of power Id our sister repub
lics mouey. Either one or the other
side has too much, and the losing side
promptly starts out to get what It be
lieves I coming to It That I what
wa done tbla time, but on a bast far
more seuslbie than usual. The Insur
gent element did not have money
enough to start business, and. after
much flopping around to find ways and
means, hit upon an Ingenious scheme
that came very near wrecking the tiuuie
government before a shot' was fired.
The revolutionary party needed money
and started out to make It literally.
The distinguished sons of the State
who bad been chosen to lead the move
ment established an offlce In New York
and began the manufacture of spurious
coin. Tb4 money was stamped with the
trimming put on coins by the regular
government and thousands of dollars'
worth of the counterfeits were floated
before the proper authorities got next
to the source of supply. By that time
the credit of the existing government
was almost wrecked, so much of the
pliony money bad been floated. The
plant being In the lulted States, the
Uulted States secret service oltlreri
were called upon to ferret It out, and
they lost no time In locating It and
bringing to Justice the principal offen
ders. Nothing much was done to the
revolutionists, though the breaking up
of their counterfeiting plant ulpied t lie
revolution In the bud, but the boms
government never has established lu
credit on as firm a basis as It had be
fore the counterfeits were made.

Great Goat for Mohair.

world's record. lie was barred, from

JMs
A calf kept winter and summer In
thrifty growth at 2 years will make as
much more beef than one neglectfully
kept at twice that age. The profit will
all be found on the 2-year-old and the
loss on the 4-year-old; yet owners of
the latter have pursued such system-
If system It can be called with the
Idea that they were saving money.
Keep the thrifty animal two year
longer In the same way, and something
very handsome In the way of beef will
be the result, while the starveling can
never pay the expense of rearing and
feeding.
SAGACITY OF THE ELEPHANT.
Aalesal Caa Eaallr Ba Taught to
Work Tratalaa Then.
Sagacity seems strong word to ap-
pjy to an elephant but certainly tlie
tales of those who best know the beast
would Justify the term. It Is said that
the elephants' In India will besmear
themselves with mud as a protection
against Insects, and that they will
break branches from the trees and use
them to brush away the files. If this
Is true It shows something beyond in
stinct In the elephant It shows reflec
tion, says the New York Herald.
It Is surprising how simple Is the
training of a newly captured elephant
and how soon the animal can be taught
to work. For the first three days,,
which is usually the time before they
will eat freely, the elephant Is left
Vet with perbnps a tame animal near
him to give blm confidence In bis sur
roundings. If there be many to be
tamed at the same time each captive
Is stalled between the tamed one as
soon as be eats his food naturally.
When this stage of training Is reached
the tamer and bis assistant station
themselves one on each of the four
ilrtes with long pointed sticks In their
bands. A tame elephant also assists
In case be Is needed. The men at the
Ides rub the animal's back, soothing
blm with such epithets as "Ho, my
son," "Ho, my father," "Ho, my moth
er," which seem to have a calming ef
fect. The next step Is to take the ani
mal to the tank to bathe, which Is ac
complished at first with ttie aid of
tame elephants. After a time he can
be taken alone, but as tho process of
taming depends upon the Individual
disposition of the benst the time of pre
liminary training differs.
r A newly tamed elephant is first put
at the task of treading clay In a brick
field or drawing a wagon In double har
ness with a tamed elephant. But the
place where It shows the greatest
amount of sagacity Is In moving heavy
weights. For, unlike the horse, It
seems to comprehend the purpose and
object of Its work and executes various
details without the supervision of Its
master. '
