OUR CORN ABROAD. THE SUCCESS OF THE AMERICAN MAIZE MISSIONARY, Great Increase in the Exportation of and France, The department fssued an exhibit which cannot but of exceeding interest throughout the country, being noth ng less than a trium phant “demonstration of the success attained by the American missionary, Mr. Charles J work of popularizing maize as an article of food in Europe. A very practical evidence of what he has achieved is the report of Mr. Walter E. Gardner, Ameri can consul at Rotterdam, Netherlands, to the effect that while during the first three months of 1801 the total importa tion of American corn port was only 97.723 bushels, the quan tity brought in during a corresponding period of the preseat year bushels, most of which was transshipped to Germany. But the most striking and significant bit of evidence sent out with the department's report is a red poster, one of those now em the dec oration of Berlin and the information of the hungry masses of Deutschland. It is only two feet long by eightedss inches wide; but that is big old “world, where the eco such that even circus posters are cu At its head t wl in the act of of agriculture corn at was 9.203, 000 employe d for bill modes MURPHY ry 12 wo Rog 5 Pfund 60 PI on man worsio arns, crosses the lis is grown, staple f but where it have duction of corn since 1.455, 008 004 Our average « xp irtation #8 per up to Not only in quantity the wonkl on been const bushels annum, and cent our corn lead the w» of unpalatable sorts is ¢ Spain and parts of Fran also Danubian corn, fit onl feed, but the United State the supply of consumption onopolize 4 this cereal fit for human iH INgary, Russi i, India and the Argentine Republic may compete with our wheat crop, but American corn has practically no rivals Hence noth can be of mucl ‘ importance the line of y of our resources than stich as Mr. Murphy has been d r, language of Secretary Ri secure an advance cents a bushel an average for corn during the ensuing decade, which might be done and still enable to supply the foreign demand at a price far below that of other cereal foods of equal value, the result would be to add §1,000,000,000 to the value of this crop during that pe- riod.” in ir the value work In the mk, Could we of even: five on well 1s Butcher Birds and Hawks, Every one who knows a goose from a sapdpiper knows the impaling trick of the butcher bird, and to relate what | serving up a stale dish; but I never knew till recently that hawks were up to such wily tricks, One of these worse than worthless ras- cals one day took it into his head to have nn dove for his dinner. Like Johnny, I got my gun; vut before 1 could get a shot at him he was off with the bird in his claws, Suspecting he had not gone far, 1 followed Nim up, and he sailed out of a row of oleanders without his bird, and I stopped him. I then took a look for the dove, and hearing a faint flutter, { I found it with its head very neatly fixed {in the fork of an oleander, while just far | enough below it for a comfortable seat and convenient picking was a horizontal { limb, He had got things nicely fixed for a feast when he was interrupted and the at the last gasp from strangulation, Now, this was evidently a premeditated arrangement on the part of the hawk, He could not have found it on the spur actly fitted for the purpose could not have been found in a day's hunt, A pair of them had a nest one of iny orange tree, and they remained there unmolested till 1 eaught them at their rascally tricks, when 1 shot the old birds and tore down their nest, and the penalty for lighting on one of my trees since then is death. Seeing one of them dush down repeatedly and strike some thing on the ground, I had the curiosity to find out what he was at, and on going to him I found he was killing a chicken Again | saw and found of thi and That set upon the on as large as himself, a reat commotion among the doves, bird doves had dragged young from the nest lasughtering it on the ground a butcher one » set & mark mn, g them may si them, lah ==!

Putty here comes i into play very well, The best way of puttying it is to take a long ei) of | putty, lay it over the crack, and rub it Fr and forward. This fills it | quicker than to use a knife.
