BRooM-coRN FOR FOOD.

New Cereal Can BE Prepared In Many Ap.
petizing Ways-Russian Breakfast Dish.
A new kind of cereal food for hui
man consumption is to be introduced
in this country, if the department of
agriculture can persuade people to eat
it. It is broom-corn millet, and the
plant was brought hither from Eu
rope not long ago by botanical agents
of the government, for use as forage,
However, there is no reason why it
should not furnish an article of diet
for people inasmuch as it may be pre-.
pared in many appetizing ways. It
produces, under favorable conditions
so bushels of grain (seed) to the acre
so that, in view of its highly nutri-
tious qualities, it is most economical
and otherwise desirable plant.
This broom-corn millet is so called
because when growing in the fields,
it looks like broom-corn. There are
a number of varieties, and the seeds
Chat is, the hulls of them) are of diff.
ferent colors-yellow, white, brown
and gray. A graceful spreading tas-
sci crowns the stalk.
In Russia, where the plant s
grown almost wholly for use as human
food, it is called "proco." People in
that country eat it for breakfast in a
form like oaten grits, or press the grits
into cake and use them with soup
The cereal also appears on their table
in pancakes. such as we make out OF
buckwheat or Indian corn. Among
the peasants, especially in the region
of the Volga, the broom-corn millet is
largely consumed.
One may judge of its popularity, in
deed, when it is stated that from 60,
10000 to 100000 bushels of the
grain are produced in Russia yearly
A special study was made of it re

"Thls leads ua 10 the consideration
Of the second generation. via. John
Mckinley, eldest son Of the omlgrant.
Before entering upon details we here
throw out the precautionary state
ment that the names Mckinley ard
Mckinley are both contemporaneous
and interchangeable in our early rec
ords. owing to the carelessness of
scrlbes. They were, however. sepa-
rate families In York county. The
McGinleys proper came from James
Mckinley, who died in York county in
1855, leaving an only son John. No re-
latlonship is known TO have existed
between the families. although remote
ly II might have been the case. The
presidents ancestors, SO far as we have
ascertained. always wrote their name
as now.
"Resuming our narrative of the Nc
Kinleys, John, son of the immigrant,
was born about 1928 and In his day
was one of the foremost men of York
county. He became large land own
Ell and frequently figures in important
business transactions. When hostili-
ties broke out with the mother country
he staunchly supported the revolution
and was made a wagon master for
Chanceford township by the committee
of safety. He died on his estates Feb.
Is, 1899, being survived by his widow,
Margaret an only son David. great
grandfather of the president, and
daughters Esther, Jean, Elisabeth and
Susan. The widow subsequently mar
ried Thomas McCulloch. She died In
the winter of 1881.
This leads us down to David Nc
Kinley, grandson of the immigrant and
great-grandfather of the president He
was born on the old homestead in
Chanceford township May 16, 1855.
In 1776 he enlisted in Capt Reeds
company of Ferrymen In the war of
the revolution. This was the Seventh
company of the Eighth battalion of
York county militia. The militiamen,
1t should be remembered, were called
out In emergencies and were drafted
in sections for active service, making
what were then called tours Of SER
vice. In this way nearly all the mill
tia of Pennsylvania saw many tours of
service, much hard fighting and the
most perilous kind of military life.
THE local historians of York county
had been in correspondence with the
president respecting his York county
antecedents He had expressed him
self as much gratifed by their re-
searches and interest in his ancestry
and faithfully promised at an oppor-
tune time to visit the scenes of his
ancestral abode. Several dates for the
proposed visit were partly agreed on
and great preparations for the visit
were in prospect, when the Spanish
war compelled successive postpone
ments of the visit
las matter of interest we may ado
that a muster roll of the company o.
which his great-grandfather was
member, and ever since the revolution
in the possession of the descendants o
Col. John Hay, was some years age
presented to the president and re
ceived by him with many expressions
of delight and satisfaction"
