Chemist Wiley on Pure Food.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the chief Of
the Bureau of Chemistry Of the De.
partment Of Agriculture, has just re-
turned from a tour Of the British
Isles, France and Germany, where he
has been studying the preparation of
food products-packing, shipping, and
human consumption Of foods. DR..
Wiley is a pure food man. He be-
lieves that we should all have pure
food, or at least know what it Is
adulterated with, and he is n of the
most active advocates in the country
of national pure food legislation.
THE question of pure food" he
said, "is one that should be better I'M
derstood, and more actively engaged
in by people generally. We have Sc
cured legislation enabling us to pre-
vent the Importation Of impure and
harmful foods, but the people are APP
parently careless in regard to domes-
tic manufacture. There is one feat
ure of the pure food investigation
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1905-10-28

which appeals to me beyond all 9th
ers-the effect of impure foods on in
valids. People who are under the
care OF Il physician. and are com
PEELED to eat prepared foods should
know at least what they are getting.
If the foods which they buy as pure
are found upon analysis TO contain
ingredients which have proven harm
full TO them, they should have some
recourse at law to punish the maker
of this fraudulent food. A simple in
stance Is sufficient TO Illustrate the
point. There is at this time a great
demand for gluten fiours. They are
recommended for certain diseases,
and there are various preparations on
the market which are sold at hlgh
prices. Many of the ~so-called gluten
flours contain but a small percentage
of pure gluten: they are filled WIN
chalk and starcby substances, apd are
not at all what is claimed fol them.
This is one example; a hundred others
could be named"

Uncle Sans "COnscience Fund.-"

The conscience fund of the Treas
ury is not, as is popularity supposed, an
idle fund which is added to from time
to time, lies dormant, and Is never
used. Contributions to this so-called
fund are turned into the regular gov
eminent receipts and on the books ap'
pear under the heading "To Account
Conscience" This account was opened
by the United States government in
1911. 1t would not be fair to infer
from this fact that the American con-
science had its awakening at SO late a
date in the country's history, but that
veal witnessed the first return to the
government, as the result Of the "still,
small voice." Of money of which it had
been defrauded some time before.
President Madison found on his desk
one morning an unsigned letter in
which the writer confessed to defraud-
ing the government of 81, for which
his conscience had made him suffer
sorely. This amount was enclosed with
the request that it be turned into the
National Treasury, the writer express
ing the hope that this full restitution
and repentance would restore a clear
and easy conscience. Contributions
have since been received varying in
amounts from a 2-cent postage stamp
to ten thousand dollars or more.
Up to date the amount received from
those who have defrauded the govern.
ment and become conscience-stricken
is over 100000.

THE o OF NOAH.
Geology Proves the Foundation OF
the Biblical Account.

There are Biblical dOubters who scott
at the idea that there ever was a great
flood, yet the testimony of the geolo-
gists, to say nothing of Ignatius DON
nelly's theory of the submerged CONT
nent Of Atlantas, proves that at one
time the entire earth's surface was
covered with water. Professor Wright
of Oberlin, who has made geology a
life study, brings us new light upon the
subject. In writing on the subject OF
the Contributions of Geology to the
C~reditability Of the Flood" he states
that the level of the land changes con
stantly. The highest mountains were
once below the sea-level. as is proven
by the finding of sea-shells on the sum-
mits Of the highest peaks. All of Cen
trail Asia was once covered by water
and Is now drying up. In fact the dry
ing out process has been going on for
thousands Of years. The Turkestan and
Siberian low-lands were once sub
merged, while evidence Is shown that
the Desert Of Cobb was once q body
of water equal to the Mediterranean in
size and depth.
The valley of the Jordan in ages back
was covered with water to a depth Of
from 1000 to 1,400 feet, while changes
of level and climate In Asia seem to
prove that the Deluge once passed over
the entire country.

To Make Old Fashioned Yeast,

Boil two ounces of the best hops in
four quarts of water for half an hour
strain and let the liquor cool down to
the warmth of new milk, then put in
a small handful of salt and half a
pound of sugar, beat up one pound of
the best flour with some of the liquor
and then mix well all together. Let
this mixture stand until the third day,
then add three pounds of potatoes,
boiled and mashed, let it stand a day
longer, stirring frequently and keeping
1t near the fire in an earthen vessel,
then strain and put in bottles and it
is ready for use. The advantage of
this yeast is that it ferments spontan-
eously not requiring the aid of other
yeast. If well cooked and kept in a
cool place, it will keep six months or
more. 1t has been thoroughly tested
and never fails to make delicious light

more rapidly the stalk seemed TO grow

His father, noting the absence or
his son, saw that it would be useless

axes, however, failed to find the same

shoot upward. Night came on with

the boy was left to what appeared to
be a terrible fate. Like most Kansas
boys, however, he was awake to all
his opportunities, and existed for a
long time on the raw corn, having con-

his parents by means of a message
written on one of the dried corn leaves
that he was getting so fat there was
danger Of the stalk breaking with his

GIANT KANSAS CORN.
Exciting Experiences of Boy LOST In
Field of Growing Grain.

A report which seems to have come
from the Portland Exposition states
that a great object Of curiosity there
is n corr stalk of mammoth size reach
ing almost up to the very roof OF the
agricultural building. The history OF
the stalk is perhaps as marvellous as
the object itself.
1t appears that prior to the last
hot wave which swept over the coun-
try, a farmer in Kansas sent his If
~teen-year-old son out to take a look
over the corn field and notify him of
the prospects. In order to do this the
son went to the implement shed which
this wise farmer had provided and
procured a ladder with which he
climbed one of the cornstalks. After
surveying a fine growth of corn for
miles around, the boy started to climb
down, but in his excitement at the
prospects of the golden harvest which

BaSket-WiIlOW Growing
INDUSTRY BEING FOSTERED BY DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
BY ELLIOTT


Secretary Wilson'S statement that
there are no bad acres in the United
States is again brought to light
through the efforts of the Department
of Agriculture 10 induce more general
attention TO the culture of the basket
willow. There are very many farms
In this country which contain some
low land. and through which runs a
small stream. This portion of the
farm Is too often allowed to run
TO waste, dense growths of weeds and
scrub prospecting in the rich, moist
soil, and the locality rarely visited by
the farmer except when in search of
some stray cattle which have come
down TO the brook for a drink.
Although introduced in this country
as early as 1910. willow growing in
America occurs only in restricted To-
ca'lities throughout a relatively small
portion Of the country. On account
of the isolation of these groups of
growers with little Of no connection,
and because the growers are not III
touch with basket makers, there has
been little chance for improvement

leaves or sprouts appear, when they
will be ready to peel.
Pretty White Willows.
Willows thus peeled are of a fine
white color, while those which I'M
dergo steaming or boiling for the re-
moyal of the bark are Of a dark color,
being stained by coloring matter con
tanned in the bark; but experience has
shown that the articles made of boiled
willow are much more durable than
those made from the white rods Of
spring pceling. The operation is so
simple that old persons incapable Of
arduous labor can make fair wages
doing this sort of work.
And yet, the farmer may ask, is
there a market for willow ware in
this country? The United States con
sumes the largest amount of willow
ware of any country in the world.
From one district in Germany alone,
as far back as 1893, in spite of the
panic existing at that time, $230'0OO

CONTROL OF CANAL MATTERS.
Transfer to the State Department
Under Secretary Root.

1t seems to be generally accepted
that the control Of all matters in con
nection with the construction of the
Panama canal Is to be transferred
from the War Department to the
State Department. Under the law the
work is TO be performed under the dl-
rection Of the President, and he origi-
nally intrusted it to Secretary Taft on
the general ground that all national
engineering works were properly the
business of the War Department. 1t
Is now realized that Secretary Taft
has q great deal more than his pro

worn of fine willow ware was i'm
ported. Since that date, however, the
value of willow imports has decreased,
due, probably, to the Increase OF VIII
low growing in this country. g,
The manufacture of willow Is what
might be termed Il house industry.

dren are engaged in peeling and split

While this is not true of the condi-
tons in western New York, the trade
there demands only the cheapest
grade Of the steamed willow. But
steam-peeled rods have a dark color,
and hence cannot be used for fine bas-
kets.
Willows Grow on Corn Land.
The general idea Is that willows
will grow only on very swampy
ground, but experience shows that all
serious attempts made on we'll
drained soil, even though of poor quail
ity, have been successful. The ground
Is prepared just the same as it would
be for corn or wheat. Willow plant
ing generally is done in the autumn;
should be in rows, the sets or cut
tings, according to older methods be-
ing placed about ten inches in length
and planted in the ground until about
only an inch and a half protrudes
above the ground. Almost without

poultry lower this winter than they
have been for some time, owing to the
heavy grain crops. F~attening cattle
on corn at 30 cents a bushel, he said,
IS not a profitable performance, and
that is what the farmer has been do
ing for the past three years; but with
this years grain crops, the farmer
should find at the end of the season
that his margin of profit is greater,
and In the due course of events, meats
should be cheaper. 81 III.
