that Southern grown corn has more sac
charine matter in its composition. DR.
Bellows many years ago made analyses
o. typical varieties grown in the North
and those grown in the South for the
sake Of comparison. His conclusion was
that though the corn meal made Of the
Northern grown corn IS not SO agreeable
to the human taste, yet it has greater
fattenIng properties, is softer and better
suited for the feeding Of stock. DR.. Bel
lows says: Indian corn, especially North
ern corn, is excellent food for cold wealth

corn of Southern climates has less Of
fat and producing elements, but
contains full share of muscle making

men. It also contains large share of
the life giving principles, and is Well
adapted to sedentary and literary en-
ployments.''
One pound of Southern grown corn
contains ounces and 185 grains more of
