ufacture of hominy girls, brewers
grits, corn -four and special brands 0
concentrated stock feed. The homlny
mills consume large quantities D.,
corn Many breakfast foods are nov
manufactured from CON. Some OF the
best pancake -four contain a liberia:
amount OF corn -four. A blending o.
wheat -four and corn -four make a
better gu lity OF bread. many believe,
than straight wheat -four, but the
blending privilege was abused and II
is no longer possible to obtain the
mixture that was on the market a
few years ago
A jndic.ols blending gives not only
a better bread, but cheaper bread.
This Is an impor, ami suffice, one tina
the Exposition will illustrate and the
producer OF grain, the miller and the
consumer desires to know more about

The glucose industry is probably
the largest individual market for
corn. Twelve factories consume from
40, 100000 to 50,OOO,OOO bushels Of
corn per annum. Some of the fac
tories grind 80 cars-a train load-of
corn in "a hours.
Until recently the glucose industry
devoted most of its attention to the
manufacture of starch and starch pro-
ducts. Starch is worth from $45.OO
10 $500 per ton. Corn oil is worth
from $500 70 $4,000 per ton. The
process of extracting the oil from the
kernel of corn is OF comparatively re-
cent development. Oil 10 the value
of about 10 cents per hushel is now
extracted Gom The kernel.

Starch forms the basis OF gigantic
lines of manufacture. The potato
crop of New York state formerly fur
nished a large part of the raw ma
terial for the starch industry, but TO-
day the corn crop furnishes most OF
the worlds supply. From starch
glucose is made Glucose is a pure
wholesome, healthful food, which en-
tiers into food products consumed
daily in most homes. Glucose sugar
is extensively used in the manufac
ture of high-grade wines and beer
because it is sweet and does not re
vert or "go back to sugar" 1t does
not have a granular crystal of its own
and therefore, when corn sugar is
once dissolved and remains in the
liquir instead of settling to the bot
tom, as would be the case with cane
or beet sugar. Glucose does not have
flavor of its own and therefore lends
itself readily for blending purposes
For this reason, glucose is often
abused by improper adulteration.
Commercial preserving and canning
establishments use large quantities
of glucose and glucose sugar. Some
Of the cheapest and some of the very
best candy is manufactured largely
from glucose and glucose products,
Starch also furnishes the basis fol
dextrine and dextrose manufacture
Dextrose is frequently used in the
preparation Of special foods for In
fants and invalids. as It is easily
assimulated and digested and is also
nourishing.
Dextrine is a sticky substance such
as you can find when you have licked
postage stamp. Dextrine enter:
into many glutinous compositions
where adhesiveness is desired, such
as in the manufacture Of gum paste
british gum, library paste, gummet
paper and in the manufacture Of en-
velopes, paper bags, boxes and BY
proper blending also veneering. a
dextrine composition is also used al
mordant in stamping figures and
colors in the manufacture Of ginghan
and calico.
Most homes and many lines Of bust
ness find some Of these products en-
tering into everyday use.-7Farm and
