revolutionary army, caused men to
cross the Allegheny mountains and
open up the vast prairies OF the Mis-

never received the returns from this
crop that its value merits" ne said
because it has come to be looked
upon as largely an animal food"
Not many years ago, he contInu-
ed, it was the principal cereal and
breadstuff of the nation; now it is
known chiefly as hog and cattle
food.
The present generation, whose
parents and grandparents consider
ed corn meal as an essential article
of diet, have never tasted mush and
milk" he said. "and do not know
that corn grits make a splendid
starchy vegetable dish that viii,
