THE VALUE OF INDIAN CORN

The following interesting information
in regard to this little understood kind
of food, we are indebted to Hunts Maya
zine =
by those who do not know, or are
too scientific to profit by the experience
of nations of men and herds, of fat cattle,
Indian corn, rice, buckwheat, &c, are
only considered good fodder Liebig
states that if We were TO 90 naked as the
Indians, or if we were subject 10 the same
degree of cold as the Samoides, we
should be able to consume the half of
calf and dozen candles at a single meal.
During the excessive fatigue in low tenn
perature. wheat -four fails TO sustain the
system. This is owing TO a deficiency
in the elements necessary to supply ami
nal heat, and the strong desire for plea
ginous substances, under these circum-
stances. has led TO the belief that animal
food is necessary for human support
But late scientific experiments, and a
better acquaintance with the habits Of
the North American Indians, have shown
that vegetable oil answers the same
purpose as animal food, that one pound
of Parched Indian corn or an equal guam
: tity of corn meal. made into bread, is
more than equivalent to two pounds of
fat meat.
f, Meal from Indian corn contains more
than four times as much oleaginous mat
Ter as wheat -four; more starch, and con-
.sequently capable of producing more su-
car, and though less gluten, in other i'm
Portant compounds it contains nearly as
much heterogeneous material. The CON-
biaaIion Of al;mentary compounds in IL
dian corn renders il alone the mixed d.
CT capable ofSustaining man under the
most extraordinary circumstances. In il
( there is natural coalescence of elemen
tary principles which constitute the basi:
Of organic life, that exists in no Other
Vegetable production. In ultimate com
position, in nutritious properties, in di
ges;ibiliiy, and in lis adoption to tht
varied necessities Of animal life in th,
/ different climates Of the earth. corn mea
| IS capable Of supplying more of the ab
, solute wants Of the adult human system
; than any other single substance in na
: ture."

APPROACHING CHRIsT-Christ must
be preached in all the glories Of his per-
son. Not in the dry metaphysical ian
guage Of the schools, but in the glorious
language of the Scriptures, Christ the
wisdom and the power of God-the first
born of creation-the image of the in,
visible God-manifest in the flesh. He
who was with God-and was God, and
thought it not robbery TO be equal witt
God, or to receive worship that was due
