Republican State chairman of South Carolina, has lost his position with the federal government through order of John G. Capers, commissioner of Internal revenue. Deas has been an Inspector of the denatured alcohol bill of the Internal revenue department and It hai netted him something like $116 per moth.

Commissioner Capers and his lieutenants have always re? gretted the necessity of political asso? ciation with Deas, but he served cer? tain ends and was continued In his piece.

Slbert's Drug Store. NEW C KHK ALS. They Come From Manchuria and 1 ield Tremendou si y. Two new kinds of grain, of highest value oi" human food, are now being Introduced into thihs country through the plant bureau at Washington. One of them comes from Manchuria and the other from Russia. Either of them will produce a considerable greater number of bushes to the acre than wheat, and In quality and pala tablllty, when made into bread or prepared in other shapes for the table, they are not excelled by any of our own cereals. The one from Manchuria has long been the principal food staple of that great province and of northwestern China, where more of it is raised than any other kind of grain. It is not dis? tantly related to our familiar sorg? hums, but it is a very different kind of plant, developing seed heads eight Inches or more In length ar.d weigh? ing a quarter of a pound apiece. These heads, when ripe, are bunches of solidly massed seeds, round In shape and about the size or a little bigger. Three distinct verities of the plant are grown In the region described, where, through selection during cen? turies of cultivation, their superior qualities have been developed to a re? markable extent. Dr. Frank S. Mey? er, one of the explorers of the plant bureau, made a special study of them incidentally to a trip which he took last year, in the course of which he crossed and recrossed %the lofty moun? tains of northern Korea and aouthern Manchuria, passing through a country never before traversed by a white man. On returning to civilisation, he brought back with him a few dosen of the seed heads, which being duly thresh? ed out at the department of agricul? ture at Washington, have furnished material for experimental planting. Forty Bushels to Acre. Meanwhile the plant bureau has been obtaining from other parts of ths world, through Its explorers, a number of varieties of the seme kind of plant?notably one from' Africa, which, tested In the field, has yielded 40 bushels of grain to ths sore. When It Is considered that wheat* even un- j der most favorable conditions, rarely i gives more than 17 bushels to the; acre, ft will'be seen how fair a prom? ise Is offered by this neW cereal. Fur? thermore, one should understand that It Is a dry land crop, specially adapt? ed to the semi-srid ports of our country, and requiring astonishingly little water. The yield of the Manchurtan vari? eties, though large, Is not so great as that of the one above mentioned. Mush can be none to >4mprove them In this respect, however, by scientific breeding. From a market standpoint, the kind most In demand for hu? man food purposes Is sure to be white ?the seeds of different varieties be? ing of different colors?merely be? cause of a popular prejudice In favor of white cereals. This Is a matter which haa nothing what ever to do with the question of palatablllty. Already, in an experimental way, some varieties of the grain are being grown In northern Texaa, western Oklahoma, eastern new Mexico, and southwestern Kansas. Their cultiva? tion Is not yet on a commercial scale, though the new cereal Is being used in small quantities, for griddle cakes and other such purposes, by the ^farmers In that part of the country. Wey grind It In little household mills, making In this way a sufficient quan? tity of the flour to satisfy domestic requirements. ( It has often been said that If we were altogether deprived of wheat, of corn, of barley and of rye, not to mention oats, we could, by familiarly understood process of selection and breeding develop entirely new and very satisfactory cereals from vari ous grasses. The above mentioned grains, of course, are all of them merely grasses. But here, In this grain sorghum, if such It may be call? ed, Is a valuable cereal already de? veloped. It Is one of the most valu? able and desirable food plants in the world, and its cultivation encouraged by the department cf Pjr1c*;!tt*rt, I? destined to prove a g;eat source o! wealth to this country. The plant bureau, however, is not yet preared to furnish seeds. Any? body who wants them would do well to write to the agricultural experi? ment stations in Oklahoma and Tex? as, making Inquiry as to the sources from which they may be obtained. It is understood, by the way, that the manufacturers of breakfast foods are already beginning to purchase the new grain, in such quantities as are obtainable, for use In their products? an excellent testimonial surely to Its quality. Broom Corn Millet. The other new cereal is the so-call? ed broom "^rn millet, which was brought to this country from Russia not long ago with the Idea that It would prove valuable as a semlarld crop. However, experiment has prov? ed that most satisfactory results with It are obtained In comparatively hu? mid and cool regloni, as in the Da? kotas, where It is beginning to be planted on a considerable scale. The farmers in that part of the country are utilizing it for break fast cakes and in lieu of oatmeal, in which forms it is particularly delicious. The millet in question, which has much larger seed than those of ordi? nary millet, was brought to the Uni? ted States by Mark A. Carleton of the division of grain investigation, a section of the plant bureau which has charge of all this sort of work. As yet it is cultivated in only e>com? paratively small way, but it is begin? ning to be known not only in the Dakotas, but also in Montana, Idaho and Washington. Its yield Is large, the acre. If we had no wheat It would quickly prove an admirable substitute. Seeds of this plant may be Obtain? ed by application to the agricultural experiment (station In North and South Kakota. At all events, If these stations are not in a position to sup? ply them, they will tell where they fcan be got. One man in North Da? kota has gone into the business of cultivating broom-corn millet on an extensive scale, and has several hun? dred acres planted with it at the pres? ent time. His name is Glover, and his address is the postoffice called Glover. Improved by Breeding. ! The yield per acre of broom-corn millet will be greatly Increased doubt? less by those processes of breeding which have already been reduced to such a scientific basis. The same processes are being applied continu? ously to our common cereals, espe? cially wheat and corn, with results that are nothing short of wonderful. i bushel an acre added by such means to the corn production of a single State represents a great sum of money added to the annual income of the farmers. Of course the same remark applies to other cereal pro? ducts. ? To such a point of exactitude Is the study of such things carried that specially constructed machines are used by the government experts for measuring Individual grains of corn and for determining the weight .of grains of wheat. For the latter pur? pose a contrivance is employed some? what resembling counting boards for coins, a plant surface of wood being provided with exactly 1,000 little holes. Into each of which a grain of wheat finds Its way when a quantity of the seeds Is poured over It. The overp|us being thrown off. Just 1,000 remain, and their weight being readi? ly ascertained, the average for each grain Is duly recorded. Necessarily, the weight of the average wheat seed has a most important bearing upon the question of the agricul? tural profitableness of the variety un? der test , When It comes to com, sue of : grain in proportion to slse of pob Is [the thing that chiefly Interests the I plant breeders. Some of the very "high percentage" varieties recently developed have scarce enough cob to hold the huge grains. It signifies a pushing of the possibilities of maixe for human use to the most profita? ble and satisfactory extreme.?Rene Bache. A Convenient Separation. A commercial traveller struck a small Arkansas town and asked the landlord of the one hotel to have his trunks sent to the sample room. ??Won't be no use," the host drawled, removing the stem of his corn-cob from beneath his teeth. "Yo' couldn't get nobody to come look at 'em. Yo' have to tote 'em round to th* sto's yo'-self." "What's that man waiting for?

He's waitin' fer Bill Cowper to come Mong." ??And where is Bill?" "He's sittin* on a box 'cross the square waitin' fer Jim to come ?long." "How long has the feud lasted? how many have been killed?" the drummer asked, grasping at the hope that something exciting would 'happen. "Oh, not long?'bout a year," the landlord replied.
