Corn is hing.

Only few years ago the only uses
to which corn was put was as a feed
for stock, and in a comparatively linn
tied sense q food for man, with more
or less wasted in the manufacture of
whisky. Now corn is the base for
more products than the average man
dreams of. At the Illinois state fair
there was an exhibit which showed
siXty-fOur different things made from
corn. In this exhibit was to be seen
sugar, vinegar, olive oil, candy, whis-
ky, oil for painting, starch, and rubber
which looks almost exactly like the
rubber of commerce. All these and
many more made from the grains.
FrOrA the stalks were shown the cellu-
lose with which battleships are pack
ed, this being made from the pith of
the stalks; a valuable meal for stock
feed made from the shells of the stalks
after the cellulose was taken out, and
the finest kind of paper made from the
husks.
A very important food product is
made from corn at Decatur, Illinois.
where fine, white flour is made from
white corn. This -four is made by first
taking off the hull of the corn and tax,
ing out the germ. The remainder Of
the grain is made into a fine flour,
which is almost as nutritious as the
best wheat flour, and can be sold at a
much lower price. One hundred pounds
of this corn -four is worth as much for
making bread as ninety pounus of the
best wheat flour, and the price is about
One-third that of wheat flour. When
the corn flour is mixed with wheat
flour. cakes, biscuits, light bread and
griddle cakes can be made that are de-
liciOus and nutritious.
The United States has practically no
competition in the corn crop. The DOS,
sibilities of Texas and the Gulf States
in the production of this crop, if made
into beef, pork and mutton, or flour.
can hardly be cOmprehended. If at
the laying-by Of the corn a crop of
coWpeas is put in, the southern farm
er has two forage and grain crops on
the same land in the same season. the
coWpeas fertiliZing the land for the
next season.
If the corn and pea crop walks to
market, the farmer is free from exOr-
bitant transportation rates.
The nation that exports more than
it imports is growing richer. The
farmer who sells more than he BUYS.
and at the same time adds to the fer
tility Of his land. is making money.

crop uneXtracted during the gale Of
1894 while attending the Columbian
Exposition rendered a report as to
yield unnecessary, though at no time
since engaging in the occupation did
the yields compare with those on the
main land owing to the isolation of lie
heavy hammock, the source of the
early spring supply and the long dis
lance of travel by loaded bees on their
hOmeWard flight, the prevailing winds
being northeast, east and southeast,
the Atlantic ocean being but three
fOurths of a mile distant cutting off all
sources of supply from that direction.
At the time of the gale in 1894, Mr..
T. H. McFarlin lost his entire apiary
of so colonies on the Mill Island with
all his personal effects including crop
of honey, which resulted in his return
to California and thence to the gold
regions of the Klondike. For energy,
persistence and a disposition to sur
mount all obstacles McFarlin is to be
commended, for he has done more to
build up the honey resources since his
coming in 1882 than is generally
known. At a called meeting of the
bee-keepers of this section, Mr.. McFar-
lin was selected as their representative
at New Orleans in 1885.
