I About Flour. "
Editor Republican :
I Allow me to say that it seems
as though the Pure Food D part-
mcnt seems to be looking up
most everything imaginable
except what they should investi.
gate , and that is Pure Flour. .
I am a millr ; of 17 years experi-
ence. 1 built my nim myself and
control it myself. It is of a
modern order ; 100 barrels. Aud
now the day has come that the
Mcrchant Mill and the Exchange
l\'liH must either shut down and
quit making flour or else put in
additional machines to adulterate
his Hour. In my estimation it is
strictly against the Pure Peed
law to adulterate Hour.
There is a patent owncd by a
company in St. Louis called the
Alsop Process Co. This process
feeds electricity into the flour
for the purpose of eating the
gluten and destroying it and ,
ther by making the flour much :
whiter , and will probably raise
just as well , but it certainl } '
weakens the flour. It's hasn't
the strength any more , but the
Alsop pcople have sold thousands
of these machines and it has
cause the ingenious minds of
the miller families to study up
something to evade the Alsop
Patent and is likely just as
healthy , and this is all kept a
sccret. I believe it to bc misleading -
leading the consumers of flour
and bread. The pcople do not
know what they arc eating.
They suppose the flour they use
is pure as the wheat can make ;
but can it be so ?
A large proportion of the flour
that is used by the people of the
United States today is treated
with acids or electricity. Yes ,
my dear sir , these miilers , as
far as I lmow , are using these
d i fTeren t processes in secret.
This is for the purpose of whitening -
ing the flour , and of course th < :
flour takes like wild fire , because
the bread is whiter , as the
neighboring mills improve the
color of their flour and their
representative salesman warrants
the Hour to be whiter , and malC
\Vbiter , bre.ad than any other mill
In the neighborbood. 'l hey
mtroduce it and it forces the
l1eigbboring mills to eitber put
in one Idnd of a process or
.mother to eat up the gluten , the
main strength of tbe Bour , the
real nutriment. But tbe people
don't know tbis is done. Why
don't the millers tell them ? It
is because if the people knew
what it took to mal < e the flour so
white. tbey would be looking for
pure flour , even though it was
dark compared with the adulterated -
terated flour. Now it comes our
turn to either shut down or else
adulterate. And how can I
consent to put any process into
my m1l1 and pas ! > it out to my old
Cl1stomers whom I have dealt
with so long ? 'J hey are innocent
today of what kind of flour their
bread is .being . made of and I
must put tbis process into my
mill , and I must not tell them.
I must only say : limy flour is now
just as white and good as any on
the marlet. " But can I do this
with those hundreds of familes
that I have suckcrcd , as I might
say , up till the present time.
I could brand my flour adulterated -
ated , just like my neighbors flour
is , but they would be likely to
say , "he is jealous of better mills
than his , and we won't notice' '
bim. "
And I therefore believe it mv
duty to lay thIs matter before
our ] a w maers and let them lay
tbis one side or investigate as
they see fit. But it is now a
torture on all mills.
I believe , nearly all the mills in
the United States would rather
this process .bad . never been
thought of , but if the consumers
of flour could be posted on these
facts , hey would certainly con e
to their senses and ask their
local mills to go back to the pro-
pcr way of making flour , but can
I afford to wait until the pcople
g-et posted ? No ; feel It my
duty to put some kl11d of a burning -
ing or cooking process into m5
mill. But then if I do so I wiI1
brand it adultcrated. Then 01
course the people will say , II ]
don't want that flour. I wan' '
" like what I hav
pure flour""just (
been uSl11g. " They an. innoccnt
'l'hey know not what process till
flour they have been using t4
make such white bread has wen
through. But I will brand m'
flour adulterated , and I wii
make both Idnds. And 1 will dl
.
. . , . '
my best to have this cooking of
flour with both electricity and
acids abandoned for I believe it
injurious to the health , at least
the flour has 110t got the strength
nor neither has the COllSU111cr ,
e pccially the laborers , the greatest -
est bread caters.
But we must keep abreast
with our mills and move abreast .
wi t h t he masses. 'l'ry to be
numbered with the progressh'e
millers of the day. Now , Mr.
Editor , it looks as though I was
jealous or nearly insane to go at
the cooking process ill such a
wal.as I appear to. I might go
at It in a bItnd way , and report
this to the Pure li'ood depart-
mcnt ; but in order to first show
the people just were I stand I
take this way to inform the consumers -
sumers of flour , that they ma ) '
investigate and see if I am right.
You may go into many mills
and inquire if they are treating
their Hour with acids or elcc-
tricity and I am not certain that
they will give you a straight
answer , but if you wish to properly -
perly investigate come to me ,
and I will explain to JOu so you
can tell it yourself. I understand -
stand some of the mills are telling -
ing they are using electricity to
heat their wheat. 'l'his may be
true so far as it goes , but ask
what else they use it for. Ask
them it they don't treat their
flour with electricitl' And ask
them why they don t brand their
flour "treated with electricity"
a d then go to utber mills and
ask them if thcy are not using
acids to whiten or bleach their l
flour. They will very liley ] put
you ofT ald ! no ! tell you. They I
may possIbly he to you and deny
it. But when I get , it started
you may come and see it work.
More anon. 'l'ruly yours ,

14ate threshing is being finished -
ed up when the weather pcrmits.
Corn gathering is the latest
topic of the day but no champion -
pion husking' has as yet been
recorded.
We noticed quite a lot of feeding -
ing cattle in Arcadia 011 last
Saturday and farmers were there
to drive them to their yards. It
docs look as though there is a
mania for feeding cattle this
year.
year.While
While Bill Hill was having
pleasant dreams Hallowe'en a
party visited his prcmises doing
considerable damage , as is usually -
ly tbe case on such occasions , and
Mr. Hill informcd us 'if he ha d
not been so tircd he too woul d
have been out and made things
interesting to the marauders.
A numher of farmers will put
out fruit trecs next year. It has
been said Nebraska is not a fruit :
state. How can we expect fruit
if we never put out trees. We
noticed some of the finest fruit
grown here this year tbat can
be grown anywhere and we ought
to put out trees by allmear.s.
'l'he wondering how high corn
will go in price is the warm store
talk these timcs. Some predicting -
ing dollar a bushel before it IS
grown again. Some feeders are
now paying 30c and others we
have heard have gone as high as
35c on future contract. It is
gettIng up there as the corn is
not so good as many anticipated
before ! Jeginning to husk.
