How Glucose Is Made.

The process of making glucose will
be best understood by following the
corn from the time it enters the factory
until it runs out at spigot, a clear,
odorless liquid, says the american
Analyst. The shell corn is first soaked
for several days in water to soften the
hull and prepare it for the cracking
process. The softened corn is conveyed
by elevators to one of the highest
stories of the factory and shoveled into
large hoppers, from which it passes
into mills that merely crack the grains
without reducing them at once to a fine
meal. The cracked grain is then con-
Quoted to large tank filled with rinsing
water. The hulls of the corn float at
the top of the water, the germs sink to
the bottom, and the portions of the
grain containing the starch, becoming
gradually reduced to flour by friction,
are held in solution in the water. BY
an ingenious process both the bulls
and the germs are removed, and the
flour part now held in solution contains
nothing but starch and gluten. This
liquid is then made to flow over a series
OF tables, representing several acres in
area, and the difference in the specific
gravity of the two substances causes
the gluten and starch to separate with
out the use of chemicals. The gluten
is of golden yellow color and the
starch snowy white. By the time the
gluten has been completely eliminated
the starch assumes a plastic form, and
is collected from the separating tables
by wheelbarrowfuls, and taken to a
drying-room, where it is prepared as
the starch of commerce or is placed in
a chemical apparatus to be converted
into glucose. -Boston Herald.

Roads and PRICED.

Pittsburgh Stockman.
This has been a season of low pri-
ces in provender of all kinds for
live stock, and yet circumstances
have conspired to raise the market
in occasional places entirely above
the general level. Bad rouds have
made it practically impossible for
many country districts to supply
their neighbcring towns as they
usually do, and farmers are not in
frequently compelled to hoard corn
and hay while their neighboring
townsmen are paying strong prices
for that brought in from other
points. We have heard of corn sell
ing within fifty miles of this city at
prices from 15c. to,25c. per bushel
above our local market, simply be-
cause corn located within ten miles
of the points of consumption could
not be moved to the consumer. If
a stronger argument in favor of a
revolution in the road system of the
country could be produced it would
indeed be sumner. 1t is to the
interest, not only of the farmer, but
of the townsmen, to have the means
of inter-communication so establish
ed that occurrences of this kind
shall be impossible If the farmer
must sell, the townsman must buy,
and when the farmer cannot move
his produce the Inconvenience in
the case is mutual.

A petition is being circulated ask
ing the West Virginia Legislature
to entirely prohibit seining of fish
in the Ohio River ut all times. 1t
is alleged that the wholesale slaugh-
ter of mature and immature fish
during or just before spawning time;
in quantities such as are taken DUR
ing an open winter like the present,
is calculated to diminish the annual
supply, if not wholly SxtsFmfnatS
some valuable varieties of river fish!
AT present seinfug in the Ohio is
only allowed ON the West Virginia
side during January and February,
and on the Ohio side it is prohibited
altogether; but the Ohio fishermen
get around the prohibition by meres
ly crossing over to the West viz
ginia shore and drawing their seines
in West Virginia waters, thus prac-
tfcally rendering the Ohio law OF

In speaking OF the new railroad

ness men up there from Baltimore 70

Commenting ON the above, the
Wheeling Issteuigencer very perti-
nently says:
"Mr. Camden is a practical de-
yeloper, and the State is TO be con-
graduated that it. numbers among
its citizcns such men as he and Mr..
Elkins. Mr.. Davis, and few others
who are doing so much In. the same

Farmer Protection.

The yankee Republican farmers
of Vermont, who vote the G. o. p.
ticket with practical unanimity
heard SO much during the late cam
paign about the glories of "protcc-
ton" that they want some of it.
Will they get it2 Protection is a
glorious thing for iron and coal and
salt and timber, but when it comes
to "taters" and "inguns" and cab
bage, why, the things absurd, you
know. Our beneficent capitalist
must not be hampered in the simple
matter of "grub'-why, the yankee
farmer must be insane-absolutely
madl For you see that 'singuns'
and caters and cabbage and all
truck like that are things that al
most any farmer can raise, and you
can't work up an ':ingun" trust or
a "tater" trust or even a cabbage
trust that will stick, to save your
life. But iron and coal and timber
and salt and sugar are things it takes
money to handle, and only rich men
and capitalists can manage them,
and they can be backed up by trusts
and ought to be protected
Let the yankee farmer subside;
why does he seek to disturb the
harmony of the great protection

How the World is Fed.

Given the oldest and best inform

perienced New York salesman in
the grocery business, "cannot be-
gin tell you about the wonderful
extent of the traffic in food. Fig
ures don't seem to express the thing
SO that anybody can realize how
enormous the business is. Now
everybody knows that corn makes
only "a small part of what anybody
eats. mean by that, that nobody
eats corn enough to make it a prin-
cipal article of diet Yet there is
one established in Maryland corn
factory, they call it, where there
are 100,0O0,0O0 cans of corn a week
put up and sold. Now consider
that this is only one establishment
out of hundreds in this country, and
thousands in the world, whore food
is put up in cans. Then, think
that corn is only one small item OF
food even among the canned goods.
And then remember that canned
goods are merely fraction of the
food supply, and you will be ready
to acknowledge that the food in
dustries are too great to be readily
grasped by the imagination. More
than three-ffths of all the workers
of the world are engaged wholly in
raising or handling food. Herald

His Feelings Hurt.

Hinton Herald.
We put in good many hard licks
for the Democratic party, both on
the stump and through the Herald,
but when we asked for the small
position of Committee clerk in the
Legislature, we are told to stand
aside for others who had not done
halt the services. 1t seems to be a
pet. theory of Democratic leaders in
West Virginia to snub the press on
every possible occasion. When
there is work to be done the poor
quill-driver is called upon without
stint and be IS fofnd ever ready to
respond, but when the honors are
to be conferred, he is kicked aside
as if he was dog. The average
Office seeker expects the editor to
give up about one-half his space in
advocating his special claims to of
flee and thinks he is conferring a
great favor by subscribing for his
paper. 1t strikes us that it is about
time that this kind of business
should cease. We are not alone in
this manner of treatment, but for
one, we feel very much like kicking
against it.

The West Virginia Legislature
daily produces additional evidence
in favor of electing our United States
Senator'S by direct vote of thepeo-
pie. We can't help but believe that
the people of this State would have
been much more successful in elect
ing Senator than the Legislature
promises to'be. The people wouidn't
have botched the job as it has been
'botched so far, the people wouldn't t
have wasted all the valuable time
the Legislature has; Delegate Dorr
would not have been able to block
the election as he has done; the
politicians who hang around Char
lesion and devote their time to
partisan schen1ing would find their
influence gone; and the States legi-
innate business could be attended to
promptly and economically. This
antiqnated method of chosing Sem
ator has outlived its usefulness, and
it can't be done away with too, soon.
