HOME PREPARATION j
OF NEW CORN CROP
Dry and Grind at Home and
Know the Delicious Nutty
Flavor.
Why eat last year's com while harvesting
this year's? 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!;

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

Corn-producing countries are the ones
that should eat it, because it is at its

For all of these reasons,

and make their own corn meal and

HUSK SOUTHERN CORN
Husked Corr. is Freer From Insects
and Can be Stored and Fumigate.]
More Economically.
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

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

The renewal of the Flanders offensive

Early reports did not outline definitely

by Berlin, which yesterday

the line from Houthoist wood, some
five miles south of Dixmude to the

Freticb Demonstrate Horrible S
Weapon Before Open-eyed
. Americans.
American Training. Camp in France "|
j?The American troops training in
! France have just had their baptism of
liquid fire. It was not exactly a baptism,
but near enough to the real
tiling to be decidedly impressive. They
watched with eloquent silence a
French demonstration ot what is will
out question the most diabolical appearing
forms of frightfulness which
, has grov.n out of three years of the
world war.
The flame thrower used was comparatively
small, one of the old r
* . IImodels,
but ti e rotating stream of ;
fire it emitted, with great clouds of '
I intense black smoke curling hundreds
I of feet in the air, gave the open eyed 1
I soldiers a wholesome idea of what
some phases of modern war are like,
I The men, when the fiist shock of 1
; surprise at the terrible weapon had
worn off, however, began to make hu- 1
nrorous remarks and seemed t.> enjoy
the latter end of the demons.ra- i '
I iton with that keen sense of American *
i indifference to danger, when it is
known just what the danger is. One *

I shouting: "Oh, boy, don't I wish I had 1
been better at Sunday School!"
Another renewed the merriment by '
exclaiming: "Captain, please tell me
when the next boat leaves for honiv, ' 1
while a third added: "This sure ain't
no place for a nervous man."
For Men's Instruction.
The demonstration had a two-fold 1
purpose, first to acquaint the men
with the character of weapon which
could easily terrorize the uninitiate l; '
and second, to teach the means of defense
ami self-protection against even
the most fiondi h of German flam- '
menwerfers. '
While the American armv will nee- 1

essarily he equipped with modern lq- ,
I
uid fire project , both as a defense ,
! and for offense, in order that they
may successfully combat with those-!
used by the enemy, many of the officers
are inclined to doubt the effectiveness
of the weapon in anythin>
more than a purely local operation,!
such as a night raid on enemy clup;- J
outs or a small section of an enemy
trench. The American fire throwers
will likely he of entirely new design,
j calculate^ to attract little or no atten- j
; tion to the man or men carrying the!
insrument so that they can approach
close to the enemy works before becoming
shining marks for hidden
snipers.
Successfully used, liquid fire must
, be thrown down the wind. There hav
! already been cases where the \v m!
has shifted and the Germans handling
the flammcwerfors have been buried
to death in their own fires.
1 Flame throwers are of ve.y si i p'.e
device. A specially mired and highly
inflammable oil carried in a portable
reservoir is forced by compression
through a hose and out of a long
no'/.zle at the end of which is a tiny
flame that ignites the passing spray.
The heat to the manipulator is very
intense and he has to ho specially
hooded. Some of the heavier German
types require two to three men to operate
them and throw flames T>() vard.-;
