ffuences which the production of such
an enormous crop as corn has on
many lines of business, especially
transportation, both on land and wa
ter. A large proportion of the crop
is fed to hogs and cattle, and these
find their way to the great packing

products therefrom shipped through
out the world.
The greater portion of the crop,

What the Cob is Good For.

With the increased knowledge
which experimental work has de-
veloped at the agricultural colleges
and stations, the usefulness of this
material as a stock food when ground
in connection with grain has been
shown. Large quantities, therefore,
of ground grain and cobs are now
used for feeding The cob is also
ground and mixed with various highly
concentrated feeds, such as cotton
seed meal, and sold for stock food.
Large quantities of cobs, furthermore,
are utilized in certain parts of the
Mississippi valley in the manufacture
of corn-cob pipes.
An interesting and useful phase OF
corn-growing occurs in connection
with the production of sugar corn, or
sweet corn, for home use as roasting
ears and for canning. Hardly a gar
den in this country is complete with
out its patch of sweet corn for table
use, and in the states of New York,
Maine and Illinois, especially, large
areas are planted exclusively for can
ming purposes. 1t is the common prac-
| tice of the factories to make contracts
with farmers for the corn to be deliv-
cred, and as the ears are gathered
early, the farmer has fine and useful
forage left for feeding to live stock

Popcorn is an especially hard, flintS
type, and pops when heated by reason
of the rapid change of the moisture

devices perfected it was found prac-
ticable to determine accurately the
amount of moisture in a sample of
grain in about twenty minutes

in oil. The apparatus was introduced
into a number of the large grain cen
tiers, and used successfully as
means of checking the inspectors in
their work.
More recently the Department of
Agriculture has perfected a quicker
method of determining moisture
through an electrical process. A
comparatively simple device has been
secured whereby the moisture in eth

can be determined in a few seconds.

IIlerce.


The national government has been
engaged for some time in a study OF
the factors which should enter into
corn-grading. The moisture in the
grain is a very important matter, a
variation of two or three per cent. de-
termining whether the grain is suit
able for certain purposes, whether it
can be shipped successfully, and
whether it should be assigned to a
certain grade.
For years it has been the practice
of inspectors to determine the mois-
ture content by feeling the grain. A
sample is taken in the hand and the
moisture content of the same is esti-
mated. Although practice renders
the operators quite expert in this mat
ter, the system is open to the same
objection as that of any other where
the judgment of the individual is the
sole determining agency.

the past two or three years developed

DEPARTMENT
Of HEALTH

In the last session of congress a bill
was introduced for establishing a ma
tional department of health. The bill
was not passed at that session, but In
to come up again at the next session,
and an early passage of the measure
is anticipated. Henry R. Seager, pro-
lessor of political economy at Colum-
bia university, has published state
ment about the proposed department.
He says:
"No better proof Is needed of the
valuable work that might be accom-
plished by a national department of
health than is afforded by what Ia
actually being done by the department
Of agriculture. That there is as much
room for improvement in our methods
Of rearing children as in our methods
Of raising cattle and pigs few will
deny. That such improvements as
may be made in the human field are
vastly more important to the nation
than those that may be made in the
field Of animal industry is self evil
dent.
What Similar Departments Do.
"The things that a national depart.
ment of health might undertake are
not matters of conjecture merely. AL
ready in many of it's departments and
bureaus the national government is
concerned with health problems. The
war and navy departments are con
stantly dealing with problems Of die
tetics and sanitation. The department
of commerce and labor, through its i'm
migration bureau, must maintain hos

corn-stalks will doubtless be a sue
cess. There is no question as to the
fact that paper of various grades, from
the common print papers to the highest
types of parchment or vellum, can be
made from the fibres in the stalk.
With increasing prices for wood-pulp,
and the application of advancing
knowledge regarding methods of hand

How the Corn is Graded.

Elaborate systems of grading corn
have been developed, this and the
important work of inspection being
carried on at the large terminal
points. The inspectors and grading
alone require small army of men
at the large grain centers, and so i'm
portant is the work and such is it's
bearing on trade in general that both
the state and the national govern
ments participate in it.
In number of states inspection is

the announcement that in the fol-
lowing issue, the case of the Gold
Hills Mining and Milling company
versus the Indiana Mining company,
would be reviewed. A brief re-

25 that is not entirely consistent

a person with a prejudicial intent.

We are forced to take issue with
the Colorado paper inasmuch as the
editor did not give the subject the
thorough treatment it's Importance
warranted nor was the problem in
vclved presented as fully as it
should have been SO that his read
ers could grasp and digest the case
in a comprehensive manner.
In the case it was proven that

several weeks ago. were all with

the discovery shaft as the center
of the claim, passing through it a
lode line very nearly parallel to

The main contention of the Min

possibly be taken to,
AS for the company it is far and
away the best dramatic company
that has played at the Jefferson thea
ter in a long time, and there is hardly
any member of the cast that an ad-
verse criticism can be made against.
The only possible place that might
be criticized is in the lead playing
opposite Marcella Hamilton, who, in
the English character of Faul Van
dawne, the lover Of the queen, seemed
at times somewhat cold in his part.
However, the work ef Aiareella Ham
ilton, the star Of the production, is so
fine that any faults that might be
found in the balance of the company
are easily Offset, and the whole pro-
duction can be classed no other way
than as superb.
Marcella Hamilton is easily on a par
with the greatest emotional actresses
OF the American stage, and in the piece
of last night showed that beyond all
doubt there is distinctive quality to
her work that is at all times uplifting,
and her lines do not carry the sugges-
tiveness that is commonly attributed
to them.
Those people who have been de-
claiming against the playing of 'Three
