MILE from Corn Meal.

A noted poultry authorits makes the
statement. that 'corn is one of the great
est ens-- SO the poultry man has 70 con-
tend with" and probably is quite correct
in the conclusion. notwithstanding it Is
fed so freely. The injurious effects from
its Use come from the fact that it ia chief
ly fat forming food, and tends 10 fatten
the hens rather than to promote the pro-
duction of eggs.
similar statement, perhaps not quite
SO sweeping, may be made of corn meal
as a food for making milk. Certain il is
that only a limited flow of milk can De
made from il. Yet in the face of this
fact, corn meal is used Literally for the
purpose by an army Of farmers, and es-
pecialiy a. this time when the price is eI-
ceptionaiiy low, in many cases it is made
the principle gram feed.
Feeders snonld remembers that the
COW Goes not change the elements Of
which the food is com posed in The pro-
cesses of msssication and digestion, bat
sim ply transfers them to other places and
for other uses. Therefore if yon wopld
produce milk, food most be used rich
IN the material of which milk il compos-
ed. Caseine forms large part of the
solids of milk. This is secr-ted by the
COW from the slbuminoid or nitrogenous
elements of the food. Only to the extent
that these elements are found in the food

The Savannah News puts the case prop
eriy when 1t says that people who are
familiar with the facts Know that the
South has worked ont her own salvation,
so to speak, but in saying so they have
no intention of beiIttllng the help receiv
ed from Northern people. SWhen the war
ended" the News continues, "the South
was bankrupt but the North was rich
Under such circumstances it is q grand
tribute to the spirit and energy of the
Southern people that, iEstea6 of abandon
ing hope for the posterity of their sec
tiop, they resoiutely put their shoulders
to the wheel, with the result that the South
is IL fair Usy to become in few years
the most prosperous part of the Union"
The News. however, speaks kindly and
eRcoursgipgly of those from other sec
tlons who have contributed 10 the develop
ment of Southern industries. There are
many thousands who occupy positions of
Importance in the South who came here
from the North poor, but who accepted
things as the found them, went to work to
help themselves ard their neighbors and
had all they help and encouragement they
could have desired. There Is no inten-
tion to discourage Northern capital, which
| is at all times welcome, but some regard
must be had for facts, for the sake CT his

The Stories Concerning the Want of Food and
Water in Oklahoma.


KANSAS CITY, April 27.-J. A, Graham,
of the Kansas City Times, who several
times has been in Indian territory, has
Just returned from II two weeks trip
through Oklahoma. He ssys the stories
of murders, personal encounters, and
lack of food are all inventions. An i'm
mense amount of flash" writing -eem5
to be done purely to furnish entertain
facts. 1t is doubtful whether a single
homicide has occurred in Oklahoma.
None of those told about
in the newspapers has been attested by
witnesses. There has been plenty of
food in +he new towns from the first, and
no lack of water. Elections have been
noisy, but not nearly as much 50 a. most
city primaries. The people have been al
most without exception, not only peace
ful. but coed humored In their dIffereuce
of opinion. The dust in Gutherie and
King Fisher has been disagreeable, just
as dust is everywhere. SO has the hsat at
midday. The nights are very cool and
pleasant. The man who has looked for
the nat1ral discomtorts of the totally
new country, has found what he ex pected,
and the one who went down there with
the vague idea of having the comforts of
his home, is disappointed. That is about
all there is to the "hash" writing. Not
a drunken man has been seen in either
Guthrie or King Fisher.

The Troubles in the Virginia Tobacco Works
Ended.
DANvILLE, Va, April 2s.-The back
bone of the tobacco workers strike seems
to be broken. Several factories went
to work yesterday with rollers
brought from other places, one fac ,ory
putting in white labor altogether.
The striking rollers have taken no
action yet, but conference com
mittees were busy yesterday, and
the belief is that decision to return to
work will be reached today. 1t is be
lieved here now that the strike will lead
to radical changes in the system of
working tobacco, whereby q majority OF
the operatives in the factories will be
whites. All ssemming will be done separ
ate from the roller rooms and oy white
labor.
