"LOts Of Business In a BusheI OF
Corn.n

1t is claimd that a bushel of corn will
yield larger product of the Juice
squeezed from it, than If it is ground
into meal. The following omputatiou
seems to prove it:
Out of a bushel of corn comes four
gallons of whiskey. From the whiskey
the distiller gets five dollars, the
saloon keeper receives seven dollars,
the government four, the railway one.
the farmer fifty cents, the consumer six
months, his wife divorce and taxpayer.
the bills.
AS in many other manufactures
there are also some by products from
the bushel of corn, which benefit the
friends of the wiskey industry. The
policeman making the arrest receives
the fees amounting to about two
dollars, the magistrate who tries the
case makes from three to six dollars, the
officer who takes the drunkard to Jail
is allowed about eighteen cents per mile
for travel, the jailor receives 1920 per
week for board, ,and at Supreme judicial
court, bench and bar come in for fifth
cleaning.
Finally the taxpayer receives a
second set of bills. In no way can you
get so much out of bushel of corn
than to make it into whiskey. D.B.
