Partment of Agriculture in Great Britain re-
calls the many stories that are told of Muir
phys indefatigable efforts to introduce Amer
lean corn into Europe for use as breadstuF.
The duties Special Agent Murphy will be- re-
qnired to perform by tho Department of Ag-
ricultnre will be to use all the means at his
disposal to bring before the people of Great
Britain the knogledge OF the virtues of corn
bread and the other food products of Amer
ica's greatest staple. Mr.. Murphy is known
in Europe as Corn Cake Murphy" and de-
rived his sobriqnet from his long continued
efforts to convince foreigners that Indian corn
is good food He had an old Virginia 'aunty "
always with him, who understood the great
art of making good cornbread. He visited
all the prominent cooking schools in the United
Kingdom and had his cook prepare the finest
kind of cornbread before the principals and
pupils az well "a other products OF corn, even
to cornstarch pudding. The BritOns were slow
to accept the food, however, being unable to
get rid OF the idea that they were eating horse
food. having always associated corn with the
feed trough Of the horse. Murphy has been
doing all this at his own expense. and was
called q crank, which term he felt very much
grieved at, because he said he was only try
ing to help the poor, ignorant foreigners to a
cheap article of food and the farmers of oar
country to an increased market for their corn
production. When he received his appoint
ment as Special Agent at q salary Of $4,000
year he Immediately went to Edinburg,
where an exposition was In progress. pledged
$1,000 of his salary for space at the eSposi-
ton. took $500 more of his salary and bought a
cooking apparatus and commenced tho man
ufacture of Johnny cakes and cornbread on a
large scale, and is dealing the stuff ont to the
Scotch pcople,with liberal hand. and. because
he gives the bread away, is doing thriving
business. There is little doubt but that there
will soon be an increased European demand for
corn and corn products, as Murphy is rusher
and the best man in the world for a Special
Agent.
