CORN AND ITS USES

For a long time cotton was pro-
the throne with it, The two together
are more used than any other of our
products, and both are in their native
homes in the south, and their uses
are multiplying daily. Corn is used
for food for both human beings and
cattle, while the stalks are used as
cattle feed. The pith of the cOrnstalk
is used in the manufacture Of smoke
less POWDER in the manufacture Of
high grade varnish and in the manu-
facture of paper. The woody por-
tons are used in the manufacture of
cheap quality of paper. AS food.
corn is supplied in many forms. The
most familiar are as meal, hominy
and grits. Practically all the starch
that is used in the United States is
made from corn. Immense quantities
are also used in the manufacture of
beer, as a substitute for malt. A
large quantity of corn is used annual
ly in the manufacture of whiskey, and
a large quantity is used every year in
the manufacture of cologne spirits
and alcohol Even in the manufacture
of these products nothing is lost The
glutinous and other residues in the
manufacture of starch, glucose, whis-
key and alcohol are used as cattle
feed.
Cotton is not only used for clothing
for the body, but is also used for food
products, its oil rivaling the olive.
The seed makes an ideal fertilizer
and excellent cattle food; the stalk,
a superb paper.
The Irish potato (misnamed) and
the tobacco plant are also natives Ct
the south.

A MODERN PACKING HOUSE

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found an invitation from the Eclipse
Orange Grove Company to any who
may care to do so to visit their pack
ing house next Wednesday.
The packing house is equipped with
the most improved machinery, and
when the fifty or more men employed
there are working, the sight is very
interesting and instructive.
The oranges are emptied from field
boxes into a wide sorting" belt, and
pass the inspection of four or more
men before reaching the two large
Maui sizers, each twenty feet long.
After the boxes are packed they are
carried away from the packer, to be
nailed up, on a belt or endless chain.
The packer places a card with his
number stamped on it on each box so
that any careless packing can instant
ly be located.
A different colOred autographed Ia
bel on the box ends is used for each
brand of oranges, grapefruit and tan
gerines, and a similar hanger is plac-
ed in the box to be displayed by the
merchants handling the oranges.
These fancy labels are stored in a
room by themselves. The box mate
rial is stored in another room and
one man is kept busy FASTING labels
on the box heads.
There are also polishing machines
or washers and various other ma
chimes, all operated by gasolene en-
gines.

Orange Grove Company, and his pack
ing house foreman, Mr.. Jas. A. Lee,

Mr.. Herbert S. Phillips, who is an
announced candidate against Mr.. Ste
phen NJ. Sparkman, was on the fair
grounds yesterday afternoon and was
entertaining crowds at intervals and
large numbers sought an introduction
to him. He is confident of election.
Notes
The banks, some of the stores and
other business firms in the city clos
ed their places of business Thursday
at noon in order that their employees
could all have one full afternoon at
the fair grounds. Thursday was the
biggest day of the fair, an enormous
crowd being at the grounds during
the entire day.
Mrs. +. VI. Gregg OF this city has
composed a splendid Florida toast,
which she has exhibited at the fair
in the woman's department. 1t is
prettily mounted, painted in orange
blossoms and oranges. The toast is
as follows:
o, come to the land of the crystal
lakes,
Land of the azure skies;
Where the orange blossoms scent the
winters night,
And the summer never dies!
1t is very clever and pretty, and
she is receiving many compliments
on it.
Mr.. j. NJ. Meffert, one of Ocala's
most progressive citizens, has very
attractive exhibit at the fair from his
immense farm at Lowell. He has a
quantity of splendid hams, homemade
lard and other things from the farm,
and has a beautiful display of framed
pictures, taken of the various scenes,
work and products at his splendid
farm.
The music for the fair each after
noon has been furnished by our pop
ular band. They play each afternoon
during the races. and the lively and
splendid music they are furnishing
adds very greatly to the pleasure of
the afternoons at the fair grounds

The nurses, in their picturesque
costumes, looked most bewitching,
and it was impossible to resist their
sweet smiles and fascinating wiles,
and all who saw them succumbed ct
once, and it was impossible to pass
them by, and particularly for so splen-
did cause.
