NEW CORN FOR FEED.
Csperleneeil Morkmrn Are of the
Opinion Th.it It la Deficient la
Important Klementn.
It cannot be faid that corn is the
satiite of hop cholera, says a writer in
Wallace's Farmer, for cholera is a
ferm disease. It is a dangerous prac
tice, however, to feed new corn free
ly. The difference in the price of new
ind old corn makes the temptation
jreat to feed the new.
An exclusive new corn diet is not fit
for brood sows or growing pips. It is
deficient in muscle-forming elements,
and should not be fed to any extent
until the hog is fully matured and it
U necessary to bepin the fattening
process. Then thpre is nothing to
pial corn. Many times what is called
:hc!era mipht be railed the corn dis
Me. A little corn in hard roasting
ti,rs fnrrii-hes a pood variety, but if
fed exclusively it is like throwing
ajrney away.
Pasture is plenty now. and with it
feed ruts, dair.ag.-d w heat, sere en'rt?
other grain until your hogs are
reai'v to fatten; then feed all the corn

The t ill for the construction of a
foTernmrut owned l'aclfio cable vii
A r.nn. c.bi, "jectei T
gres last June;
All Oar Una. . . ,
. but the plana of
the Cm-unercial Pacific Cable cm
pany or constructing a line on Ita
own a count from San Fraucittco to
Ihinilu', by way (if Honolulu, the Mid
way Is hi ml and Ciiam, are well ma
tured, and the cable steamer Silver
town is already on her way from
London to Sun Francisco to begin
the laying; of the cable. Under the
conditions imposed by the president,
subject to the action of congress,
the United Stated will have almost
aa complete control over thia cable
as if the government owned it. It
will have priority for its business at
its own rates, full control of the
cable in war time, and the right to
buy the cable at any time at a fairly
appraised valuation. The most im
portant stipulation, says the Youth's
Companion, is that the cable shall
touch at no other than American ter
ritory, and that the . company shall
construct a line from the Philipipnes
to China, and operate it independent
ly of all foreign companies. At pres
ent there is no cable communication
with Hawaii, and the only line which
connects the Philippines with the
outsidij world is one operated be
tween Manila and Hong-Kong by m
British company. Great ltritain, with
the aid of Canada and Australia, is
already laying a Pacific cable which
will he "all llritish," and have all its
stations on llritish soil. Germany
and Holland have arranged for the
joint construction of a Pacific cnble
con in tint them with their Asiatic
possessions, independently of the
Uriiish companies. An "all-Atner-ican"
citlile is almost a necessity for
the United States, for in time of war
especi illy it is important that na
tional iuisiness liy cable shall not he
subject, tn eavesdropping.

Ih-af mutes in the case of certain
Kinds of work appear to be helped
rather than hin
dered by their in
lirtuity. Hesides the
fact that they are naturally serious
minded persons, as a rule, their com
plete concentration on their work
sometimes gives them a considerable
advantage over artisans who have all
their faculties about them. It is not
generally known that one of the best-
Known manufacturers of artistic and
decora t ive object s lias t alien deaf mat es
into his employ from time to time,
until now he has about a half-docn.
They have been put on the pay-roll in
place of workmen who can spenkand
hear, not from charitable motives, but
because they actually do the work in
a more satisfactory manner. One of
the foremen has had to go to the trou
ble of learning the sign language sole
ly ia order to give instructions to his
modelers. The employment of deaf
mutes, which, though frequent, has
been hitherto the result of chance.
is now likely to become a regular and
systematic practice. AVhen, according
to the New York Post a few wocks ago,
the firm in question needed to hire an
other boy to learn modeling from the
beginning, none of the applicants who
appeared at the factory showed any
particular promise in the direction de
sired. After trying several, the snper
intendent took what he thought was
the easiest way out of the difliculty by
writing at once to the head of deaf
and dumb school. Tellingexactly what
was wanted, he asked to hare the priv
ilege of trying the best boy the school
had in the line of manual work. The
boy who appeared the next morning
is still on trial, but everything seems
to show that Uie superintendent's con
fidence in deaf mutes, as such, was
justified.

The radical evolution in business
methodn, the long stride in civiliza
tion, the multiplication of inventions
and discoveries, along all lines, which
the paat half-century has witnessed,
necessitate an infinitely broader and
better training for men and women
in every walk of life than was requi
site 25 or even ten years airo. The
watchword of this century is "Excel
sior." Kach successive year, for ex
ample, says O. S. Marden, in Success.
in order that the best results may be
obtained, demands a higher standard
of education than before for the
youth who would become a merchant.
A knowledge ol "the three lis, un
less sunnlemented by unusual shrewd
ness and foresight, no longer suffices
to enable a man to conduct a busi
ness successfully.
