For several years past mania has seemed
to possess the American farmer on the subject
of horse-racing. Speed, not endurance, live
ly squirt on the road, not strength at the pillow
and the ability to pull heavy load at good
fast walk, have ruled. What the farmers
need has been, and is, is powerful horses.

CHESTNUT FLOUR.

Mr. J. Schuyler Crosby, United States
consul at Florence, Italy, gives, in re-
port TO the state department, an account
of the flour made from chestnutS and
used in many parts of southern Europe.
The writer says:
The number of trees in Tuscany and
Lucca is estimated at several millions,
and the nut and wood have done more to
maintain the population of some of
these districts than any other production.
In some places wheat flour and corn
meal are entirely superseded by the
chestnut flour, which is very nourlshlng
and much cheaper as an article of food"
Mr.. Crosby is of opinion, after care,
full study of the subject, that this varie-
ty of chestnut can be grated on the ma
tive American species, and thus be made
a source Of wealth and profit to this
country, especially in certain mountain
GUS districts, where it is almost impossi
BILE to raise cereals, owing to the nature
of the soil and the stepneSs of the noun
tain sides, and where transportation is
so difficult, and labor SO high and scarce
Outside of this question of using the
chestnut for food in the districts where
it could be cultivated and grown TO adj
vantage in the United States, the present
price of the imported Spanish chestnut
which is used for various purposes
throughout our country, would, he
claims, amply repay any outlay
farmers might have to make
in importing rings or shoots of this
magnificent variety from Italy for graft
ing on our own chestnut trees
The chestnut flourishes i'll light, fertile
deep soil, but thrives on the sides O
mountains facing the south and west.
The flour can be preserved for two
years. 1t is used in the same way as
wheat flour, and, though less nutritious
is much cheaper and at the same time i;
exceedingly agreeable to the taste. He
says that in those regions where the in
habitants live almost entirely on thu
chestnut, they are of better appearance
more healthy and not less strong thar
those people who live on what In Amer
lea. is considered more wholesome anC
nutritious food.

was the debating of the following ques-

North America are the rightful owners

question was warmly discussed by Miss
Mable Grant and Miss Lyon, and on the
negative by Miss Leavilt and Miss Mat

Rafily Needed,

We heartily second the suggestion of
"One Without Capital" in another col
uInn, in reference To the employment of
a portion of our local capital tor the pro
motion of manufacturing interests in
Emporia We have frequently urged
this policy upon the readers of The
NEWS as the most efficient means of
building up the town and furnishing
support for our fast multiplying popula-
ton. We have spoken of the feasibility
OF wooden factories and paper mills, and
laticrly of pottery, in connection with
valuable discovery of clay recently
made near the city by the father OF
Rev. Mr.. Ely. who Was in the city
some weeks ago, and took with him
specimens of the clay which he has since
tested, and found t. he of the most SUI
perior quality for the manufacture of
earthen ware. This is an industry which
could be carried on with great profit at
this point, and which would give en-
ployment Ia quite number OF men.
There are other enterprises which would
naturally follow if start can
once BIZ made in tins direction.
We regard some step of this
kind as absolutely necessary TO the en-
during prosperity OF the town, III view
of the daily accessions TO our population
which must find some means of main
tanning themselves, or remove to places
which can furnish them employment
We entreat our capitalists to earnestly
consider this important question, and
take some early steps for the establish
ment of manufacturing interests in EN-
| noria
