over Twenty Uses for Corn.

The Indian corn propaganda at the
Paris exposition and the conventions
recently held in the west, in the. inter-
est of corn producers have brought out
the fact that over 90 important products
are now manufactured from corn. One
of the most important products is dis
titled spirits, the demand for which has
increased greatly since the invention
of smokeless powder, in the manufac-
ture of which the spirits are largely
used. Among the other products made
from corn are mixing glucose, crystal
glucose, grape sugar, anhydrous grape
sugar, special sugar, pearl starch, pow
dered starch, refined grits, fourine,
dextrine, British gum, granulated gum,
gum paste, corn oil, corn oil cake, rub
ber substitute, gluten feed, chop feed,
gluten meal and corn germ. With the
present economical methods of manu-
facture not a particle of corn is wasted.
