' ,'n waa, from the whole kernel. It soon
bocame rancid. Modern machinery remove
th mrm, In which moat of the oil Is, and
Mitch, therefore, caused the spoiling, and
that has mad It possible to Keep and to

j Immense quantitew of this meal are now
'Id abroad, our ei ports of It amounting
j annually to fWO.OOO barrel, with a value of
U,hM,V0. It is mixed with other kinds of
, -flour and baked Into a vry nutrition

From the germ, which Is separated from
tha kernel In tha milling prowess, tha oil Is
extracted by chemical and mechanical pro-
cesses and constitutes a product whloh I
, coming into us In tha manufacture of
paint: II Is also applied to other purposes.
Nearly 4,CK),000 gallons of corn oil art pro

Tha vulcanised oil Is used extensively In

1 the oil Is extracted thar la left a valuable
' y rlduum known as oorn oil oake, which la
oid axtaoalvaly abroad, and Is used In tha
lattenlnf of sheep and other animal a.
Nearly 60,000,000 pounds of this material arc
i yearly shipped to Qreet Britain and Ger
I many, and thar used by tlirlftr farmer
1 who find It cheaper than materials of a
eimltar nature whloh thy san grow at

Large quantities of corn, mostly of tha
j test grade, are made Into flour, starch,
arits and flakes, Tha flour proper la a form
f starch prepared by washing the ground
krain with weak alkali Solutions, thus re
. n-ovlng nearly everything except the pure
March grain. By mechanical and ohemloai
processes tha etarch, which forme more
than half the oorn grain, is separated from
tha other part of tha grain and constitute
a very important item trf manufacture.
In the production of starch certain by-

heat, light and power in homes, especially
fim homes.
I tlllelnar the fttaJk.
it is only in most recent times that at

the parts of tlin cum plant other than the

- south as (udder or rough foiagts Attempt
have been made at various time ami with
various devles to ulillts the greater por
tion of this valuable material by shredding
and preserving it in dry form.
These methods have hut as yet proved
entirely successful, so that the most ail
vantaguous way of preserving oorn rudder
at the present time Is the rather primitive
una of leaving It in comparatively email
stacks or shocks outdoor, I.lttle or no
attempt, however, Is made on the part of
farmer In the great corn growing state
ti preserve their fodder, or untlllss It In
any way exceupt to turn their animals
upon It after the ears have been harvested.
A few years ngo considerable Interest
was arouaod la cornitalk through the
vtlllaatlon of the pith a a material for
voneirucuoti or name mps. Iiara
factorle were eetabllhd In part of the
wast whsre natural advantagea were at
hand for the rupld and cheap accumula
tion of the atalks. By special machlnory
t!is pith was separated and manufactured
into blocks of almopt pur celluloso.
Kxteimtve experiments conduutet here
and abroad demonstrated that bulkheads
constructed of this material were nearly
impervious to water when a shot pasaed
through them. Home of the largest battle
rhlpe are now protected with a belt of oorn
with celluloeu largely made from corn
grown In the Ohio valley. The sum ma
terial or modified forma of It are used
In tha manufacture of rtirti exuloslvea,
such as guncotton and ainokeltsa powdar.
Pyroxylin variUnh, another material mad
from cellulose. Is a very useful product
manufactured In connection with the other
product juet mentioned.
From time to time tit attention of ths
country has been directed toward the van
ishing supply of wood fur the manufacture
of paper or paper pulp. Various attempts
Lave been made to manufacture paper from
other materials, and a gjod many year
ae aamples of fin paper wer produced
from ouruatocke. The processes as fol
foliowed were, however, not economical,

recently, however, new light hag been
thrown on the subject through liuprevsJ

vancing knowledge regarding methods of

from, paper making from this material will
no doubt be a commercial success ere long.
laaalder the (.
In passing it would be well to call atten
tion to another part of the corn plant
which la considered a more or lees useless
thing by the farmer, namely, the cob.
With the Increased knowledge which ex
perimental work baa developed at ths agri
cultural college and stations, the useful
ness of this material as a stock food when
ground in connection with grain ha been
atiown.
Large quantltiea, therefore, of ground
grain and cobs are now used for feeding.
The cob is also ground and mixed with
various highly concentrated feed, such as
cotton seed meal, and sold for stock food.
lrge quantities of cobs, furthermore, ar
utilised In certain parts of the Mississippi
valley in the manufacture of corncob pipes.
An interesting and useful phase of oorn
growing occurs In connection with the pro
duction of sugar corn, or sweet corn, for
home use aa roasting eara and for canning.
Hardly a garden in this country la com
plete without Its patch of sweet corn for
table use, and In the etatee ef New Tork,
Maine and Illinois especially large areas
are planted exclusively for canning pur
pose. It Is the common practice of the
factories to make contracts with farmers
for the oorn to be delivered, and aa the
ears are gathered early the farmer has a
fine and useful forage for feeding to live
steok.
Of the popcorns there are twenty-five or
thirty different kind grown In all part of
the country, but In a commercial way
largely in three or four northern states,
principally Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa.
Immcneo quantities of poyuurn are ueed by
oonfectlonors, three or four hundred car
loads being shlpied each year from a
single point In some of the etatee men
tioned. l opcorn Is an especially hard, flinty type
and pons when heated by reason of the
rapid change of the moisture In the starch
grain to steam. The explosion wrecks the
wall of the ceils constituting the grain
proper, resulting In the well known starchy
mass llttls resembling the arlglnal kernel.

Cass.
A man who watched a colony of beavers
get in their winter harvest tells Just how
they did It tn Recreation. It was the Ppruce
Tree colony, one of sixteen bearer muni
cipalities on the slope of Long, peak In
the Colorado Rocklee.
Aspen bark Is the favorite food of the
North American beaver, with willow, Cot
tonwood, alder and blroh as lesser favor
ites. This was an old beaver settlement
and they had about cleared up all the
nearby growths of aspen.
The investigator examined other aspen
supplies In the neighborhood, also the
beavers' line of transportation, runways,
canals and ponds, and decided that this
year's harvest would be brought from a
grove about a quarter of a mile from the
house and about 120 feet above It.
"In this grove," he says, "I cut three
notches in ths trunks of several trees. Then
t explored the colony grounds, which occu
pied several acre In a terraced steep slope
of a mountain moraine. Hera they had sev
eral ponds with dams and fails. Tb en
tire place was pierced with passageways
and tunnels. The water from all the
terraces was gathered tn a pond at the
bottom measuring 00 feet In circumference.
It dam was six feet high, 00 feet long
and very crooked. In Its upper edge stood
th main house, which ws eight feet high
and forty feet In circumference.
Harvest Had Began.
"Forty-eight hours after I had notched
the trees I returned to Investigate. Harvest
had begun. One of ths largest of ths
notched trees had been felled and removed.
The gnawed stump was six Inches In diam
eter. The limbs had been trimmed off and
a number of these lay scattered around the
stump. The eighteen-lnch trunk had been
cut into lengths of from three to six feet,
then these little logs were started toward
the harvest pile,
"From the spot where cut the logs were
evidently rolled down a steep, grassy
seventy-foot slope, at the bottom of this
dragged an equal distance over a level
stretch among some lodgepole plnee and
then pushed or dragged along a narrow
runway that had been cut through a rank
growth of willows. Once through the wil
lows they were pushed Into the uppermost
pond.
"Across this they wer taken, forced over
the dam on the opposite aide and shot
down a slide Into the pond which contained
the smaller house. It was good work to
have got them so qui elf; y to this place.
But no logs could be found by the house
or in the pond. The folks of this place
had not yet laid up anything for winter.
"On the opposite of this pond I found
where the logs had been dragged Into a
long wet slide, which landed them In a
small, shallow harbor in the grass. From
this point a canal about eighty feet long
ran around th brow of the terrace and
ended over the top of a long all Jet whloh
reached to th big pond.
Pile of W later gapplles.
"Through this canal the logs had been
taken ona by one. At the further end I
found the largest log. It probably had
been too heavy to heave out of the canal;

prodded around with a pole and found
several small logs. Prancing one of them
to the surface I found there were three
notches on It,
"Scores of aspens were felled in th
grov where the notched ones were. Tliey
were trimmed, cut into section and limbs,
leg and all taken over the route of tha
on I had followed, and at last placed In a
pile beside the big house. This harvest
gathering went on for a month. The aver
age diameter ef the aspens cut waa four
and one-half Inches at the top of the
tump. Numerous seedlings of an Inch
diameter were cut. and the largest tree
felled for this harvest measured fourteen
Inches across the stump.
"This had been laid tow only a few hours
before I found It, and a bushel of white
chips and cuttings encircled the lifeless
tump like a wreath. In falling the top
had become entangled In an alder thicket
and lodged alx feet from the ground. It
remained In this position for several days
and waa apparently abandoned; but th
last time I went to see It the alder which
upheld it were being cut away. Although
the alders wer thick upon the ground only
those which had upheld the aspen had been
cut. It may be that the beaver which
felled them looked and thought before they
went ahead with the cutting.
Aalmal Shrevedneee.
"Why had this and several other large
aspens been left uncut In a place where
all were convenient for harvest? All other
neighboring aspens were cut years ago.
One explanation is that the beaver real
ised that the tops of the aspens were en
tangled and Interlocked In the limbs of
crowding spruces and would not fall If cut
off at the bottom. This and one other
were the only large ones that were felled;
the tops of these had been recently re
leased by the overturning of some spruces
and the breaking of several branches on
others. Other scattered large aspens were
left uncut, but all of these wer clasped
In the arms of nearby spruces.
"It was the habit of these colonists to
transfer a tree to the harvest pile promptly
after cutting It down. But one morning I
found logs on slides, in canala and unfin
ished work In the grove as though every
thing had been suddenly dropped In the
night when work waa at Its height. I
found the explanation In a bear's track
and numerous wolf tracks.
"This year's harvest was so much larger
than usual that It may be the population
of this colony had been increased by the
arrival of emigrants from a persecuted col
ony down In the valley. The total harvest
numbered eiS trees. Tbeso made a harvest
pile four fact high and ulnety feet In cir
cumference. "A thick covering of v'lllows wa plated
on top of the harvest pile; I cannot tell for
what reason unless it was to sink all ths
aspen below reach of the ice. This bulk
of stores, together with numerous roots of
willow and water plants, which In the
water are eaten from the bottom of the
pond, would support a numerous beaver
population through tha days of ice and
now.
"On the last tour through th colony
everything was ready for winter long and
cold; dams were In repair and ponds were
brimming over with water! the fresh coata
of mud on the houses were freestng to
defy enemies and a bountiful harvest was
home."

MAJESTY OF VICTORIA FALLS
Bowtk Atrtcaa Cataract Pronoaaoed
the Monarch of Tasabllnsr
-Waters.
The first Impression one gets of the falls
themselves Is a sense of utter amazement,
Tou feel you are quite unable to drink in
the majesty and splendor of the sight; the
dictionary could be ransacked la vain for
adjectives to describe what the ey sur
veys. Magnify the well-known poem anent
the cataract of Lodore a thousand times
and you are a long way from doing Justice
to the fascinating and sublime spectacle
before you. Aa one eminent enthusiast has
remarked, "Tou seem to have entered a
universe where the phenomena are so far
vaster and more majeatlo than those of
any previous earthly experience that one's
limited mundane senses fall to grasp them
at first, and can only gradually, by ex
tending their perception, adapt themselves
to that larger nature." Imagine a cataract
a mile and a quarter In width, with th
full force of the Rlvr Zambesi behind It,
tumbling In a ceaseless, roaring, seething
torrent Into an abyss 00 feet below. An
American facetiously remarked on one oc
casion, "I guess Niagara 1 only the sweat
of these falls" an expressive, though
grotesque, tribute to their volume and
character. During the rood aeason the
clouds of rolling, powdery spray take the
form of an inverted pyramid, measured by
the theodolite to reach a height of S.OUt
feet. Generally, In the daytime a beauti
ful rainbow breaks up the prismatic colors
with wonderful charm; while at night,
when the moon Is about full, a lunar rain
bow steals over the scene, producing at
mospheric effects which baffle description
and make a picture whloh clings forever
to trie memory the most beautiful gem of
the earth's scenery,
What are known as the Rain Forest and
Palm Orove, adjacent to the falls, ar
aptly styled Nature's cathedral, the pre
vailing moisture ministering to the most
luxuriant growths. Here may be seen
beautiful tropical palms and every de

maidenhair to the sturdy tree-fern tower
