Why lose the very best in corn by not using it when it is fresh, clean, and sweet? These queries, by the United States Department of Agriculture, are directed r.r thfiso wVir* hnvn nlvi'iivu union nl/l /In germed corn, and have never known the delicious nutlike flavor of new coi n meal. In some States, says ? corn expert of the department, this flavor is unknown or is merely a matter of memory with the old settlers. He a Miller at Home. For less than $5 a hand mill and sieves capable of making excellent meal an be bought, and for less than $2.1 may be purchased a mill large enough for a community. It can be installed ot be run by water, wind, ga.^ ollne or other local power. Instead of merely eating more corn as a necessary war measure, it is urged that Americans should apprecianand exercise the privilege of eating better corn. Instead of degcrming corn to prevent its spoilage, and in si cud of bleaching and scouring it to remove odors and impurities, it might better be eaten whi'e it is still fres , pure and sweet. To have this privilege the meal must be ground locally from new corn. Yet practically all of the commercial meal of the Northern ai d Western States during the fai months when this new corn is readii> available is the product of old degcrm ed commercial corn. In November some of the crop is dry enough to leave the farms, and the meal from this corn does net get back to the farmers until December or later. ^ Animals Know What is Ik\st. ftftfuirrcls, coons, dogs, and other ani"mals relish new corn and even refuse to eat old corn unless compelled by hunger. Rats and mice usually eat only the germ?the richest and best part of the kernel?and leave the rest. This germ, highest in flavor and food value, is not available to man in ihe ordinary corn meal of commerce. In that form one is likely to get stale c<?i n, from which rats and mice have previously eaten the choicest part, and degcrming machines have removed the rest to prevent further spoiling. "Why," asks a specialist, "should ^v.-e make our corn products so poor that they can not spoil? Why pay the freight both ways, and several commissions, only to get corn meal with per cent of its oil removed, mm l-ir?iY?n wviiwlinrr would <rivo "I" II more wholesome ahd palatable preduct at less cost?" The excellence of this new cc rr meal has long been?but wronglyascribed to water power and burrm stone grinding. The method of grinding has nothing to do with it. The meal is good because it is fresh am frnsh from thp new whole crrain. 1* * merely happens that in pails of tiv South where the people know and ap predate the good quality of this fresh, sweet meal, it is ground large!; -Jf in the water-wheel mills using the ol< ^ fashioned millstones.

Americans, it !s urged, are under obligation to eat more corn, because of starving nations and a world scarcity of wheat; yet Americans are eat ing less com than they ate years a Corn-producing countries are the ones that should eat it, because it is at its best when it has been transported longdistances. For all of these reasons, the United States Department of Ag riculture suggests that American families return to the simple-life ideal and make their own corn meal and hominy at home during the fall and winter months. everTalFvTteo by calomel? horrible!

Southern farmers should husk then ear corn in the field and not strre it with the husks on, accoid'ng to specialists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. The husks carry from the fields to the crib the in sect pests that attacks corn, and the damage to the corn is tho-ehy inc'ce> e<i. It is possible to fumigate huske ' corn more effectively at less expense, and a much greater amount of lurked corn can be stored in the same ciib room. This advice which is contrary to t' < ! custom more or less general in th , Sou4h of storing corn with the hu m j on, is based on recent investigations 11 is found that cribbing corn witi | husks on injures carrying practice!',* every insect from the field to th1 crib, and it practically doubles th< volume of storage room required p n ; bushel of corn. The amount of carl bnn disulphid needed to treat unhusk1 rd corn in open cribs is much large] than that required for husked corn ir closed cribs. Husking in the fion will leave at least throe-fourths of th. j insects on the husks in the field. Thif will reduce subsequent injury durirjj 1 storage.
