FRIDAY. DECEMBER 31. 1897.

WILLIAM 11 GLADSTONE was 88 years old yesterday.

THK New York Tribune printB an editorial warning about "The Danger of Bank Notes." Everybody hereabouts are willing to risk an increasing danger.

IF, on New Year's Day, everybody would swear off from the bad habit of calamity howling and keep the pledge even for a single month, the times would not only seem better but be better.

THE elections of 1898 will be far more important than were those of 1897. More states will elect Governors or other State officers than choose them this year. Legislatures which will choofie United States Senators will be elected in many States, and a House of Representatives of 3f7 members will be renewed. The country will have a great deal of politics in 1898.

THE JOURNAL to-day prints an interesting article concernirg cellulose, the process of its manufacture and the uses to which it is put. In view of the fact that a factory has been established at Linden the article possesses an added interest and value. If there is no error in the claims advanced, it will be seen that a material hitherto supposed to be worthless is about to be applied most profitably and in a great variety of ways to the uses of mankind.

HON. JOSKPII B. CUEADLK is now in this county making a house to house to house canvass for subscribers for his newspaper—-the name we have forgotten—and incidentally looking after hiB fences for the Congressional nomination. The first thing that Dan Sims, Jim Fippen and other old time Democrats know they will wake up some fine morning to discover that Joseph has preempted all the paying claims of the silver mining camps in the Ninth Congressional district.

THE country is anxiously awaiting to see the financial bill which is being prepared by the monetary commission, and which will bo given to the public next Monday together with a report. Enough is known, however, to derive an idea of the general character of the proposed financial measure. In a general way it can be stated that the bill will embody the financial recommendations of the President and some of Secretary Gage's, and, in addition, will carry provisions for extending national and private banking facilities, so as to make easier borrowing and lending money in times of need and panic.

THE crossing of the 5100,000,000 line by the gold reserve in its upward movement, which is the highest point touched since September, 1890, is a financial event of great importance. Ever since the overthow of Bryan, nearly fourteen months ogo, there has been a steady increase in the treasury gold, except during the two or three months in the latter part of the spring and the early part of the summer when gold exportation was under way. Financial confidence has been completely restored, All that is needed now to make the treasury situation ideally good is an abundant revenue, and the constant gain in governmental income ever since July shows that that condition cannot be far off.

SINCE the beginning of the special session last spring twenty-nine bills have been offered in the House and referred to the committee on reform in the civil service, of which Mr. Brosius, of Pennsylvania, is chairman. Eight of these bills have been presented since the beginning of the regular session, and it is altogether probable that the number will be increased when Congress convenes after the holiday recess. Of the twenty-nine bills already introduced seven of them call for the repeal of the law, while the other twenty-two provide for all sorts of amendments that are calculated to make the most loopholes. Some of these amendments may be adopted. Indeed, the President himself 6tated in his message to Congress that some positions were in the classified service which should not be there, while many others were not yet under the law which should be brought within its provisions as soon as possible. The civil service commission and

the people rest perfectly secure in the belief, however, that any amendment which might be passed that seeks to cripple the law or destroy its original intent, will bo promptly vetoed by the President.

GOVKRNOH MOUNT, in his speecn on Tuesday before the Republican conference, made a statement that should be emphasized, and that is in regard to the rapid payment of the State debt. Said he: "We will be*able to show as a result of wisejlaws passed fcy Republican legislation in '95 and '97 that Indiana will go back to her old-time Republican rule as a State. We will now pay the State debt with greater rapidity than it was accumulated under a reckless Democratic party. We have paid this year 8720,000 of the bonded debt. We have reduced the interest more than 82,100 each month. We will pay during the next year 51,000, 000 of the State debt. And during this Republican administration the State debt of Indiana will be practically canceled." The tax-payers of Indiana should not fail to catch the significance of this statement, and that is that the Republican party true to its history is a debt-paying party while the Democratic party true to its in stincts is a debt-making party.

CORN PITH VALUABLE-

A Factory in Montgomery County— Pays Threes Di'lltim a Toil For Shtlk*—New.. R*es For a WIWIM Product.

As a cellulose factory has recently ueen established at Linden, in this county, the following article will be read with interest not only by the farmers in that vicinity but by people in general:

The corn acreage of the United States for the season of 1897 was about 80,000,000 acres. Each acre yields on an average about 1,000 pounds of corn stalks, or a total of 100,000,000 tons. Of this weight S3 per cent, or 136,000,000 tons, was valuable as feed lor live stock, but it is not likely more than 10 per cent of it, or 13,000,000 tons, was actually fed.

The other 15 per cent of the total weight, or 24,000,000 tons, was the pith of the stalk. This pith has been a total waste or even worse, for its indige6tibilitv lowers the value of the stalk as cattle feed. It has recently been discovered that this pith is extremely valuable for many purposes. Machinery has been invented to separate the pith from the stalk. Where factories have been established they ate paying the farmers S3 a ton for stalks, selling the fodder part for 80 a ton and the pith for 17M cents a pound or §350 a ton.

What is called cocoa cellulose, made from the shells of cocoa nuts, has been in use for a number of years for various purposes. It costs 8500 a ton, however, and the supply was limited and threatened with stoppage at any time. Its principal use has been as a lining for war vessels, and an excellent illustration of its value was offered the naval world in the war between China and Japan. At the battle of Yalu the Chinese cruisers TschiYuen and King-Yuen were struck near the water line above the armored decks and immediately capsized,owing to the rush of water into the air space between the inner and outer walls of the vessel.

In the same battle were the Japanese ships Itsukushima and Matsushima. These vessels had their corresponding air spaces filled with cocoa cellulose. They were hit in the same place as the Chinese vessels, but the cellulose immediately swelled, closed the holes made by the shells, and the ships were therefore able to remain indefinitely in action.

THK INVENTOR.

Two years ago Mark W. Marsden, of Pittsburg, Pa., commenced his labors on a machine which would separate the pith from the corn stalk. He made a partial success, and organized a company known as the Marsden Development Company. A sufficient amount of pith was secured to make experiments at the Cramp shipyard in Philadelphia. The results were so favorable that anew company was organized this year, known as "The Marsden Company." It is backed financially by the Cramps, and it has absorbed the original company, with its forty or more patents covering the process now in use at the principal factory at Owensboro, Ky. The Cramps as ship builders have been forehanded in interesting themselves in the matter, for the United States has formally adopted corn pith cellulose as a lining for its battleships, and the Kentucky and Kearsarge and the unnamed war vessels now under way, known as Nos. 8 and 9, will be lined with it.

At Owensboro, Ky., is located the company's first and largest plant. It covers about four acres of ground It was located at Owensboro by reason of the needed corn land thereabouts rail and river transportation and central for the Eastern trade. The people of Owensboro offered the company 80,000 as a bonus, which was politely refused. The factory employs at present about 200 men, but many of these are now on construction work and experimenting, and it is claimed thiB plant can be operated with seventy-five men when all the machinery for handling the raw and finished product is complete. The farmers bring in the cornstalks, and they are stacked near the cutting building. Only last year's stalks are being used, as this year's crop will not be dry enough to work until January or February of next year. The company is buying as fastas the stalks are brought in, however, intending to secure the 30,000 tons necessary to run the factory until the next crop is ready.

When the farmer arrives with hiB wagon loadfhe drives upon the scales and receives 83 in cash for each ton he delivers. Some of the corn ^nd in the Ohio bottoms is yielding as high as 810 and ocre in stalks, and Senator Fairbanks, says that every acre of corn land within reach of one of these factories is increased fully 20 per cent in value by the market value afforded for what has heretofore gone to waste.

THK PROCESS.

After the stalks are stacked they go though a SWP-.' and they dry out. The time for this process depends of course upon the weather and the condition of the stalks, but takes from three to four weeks, They are then fed in a cutting machine, and therejeut into! pieces of about an inch in length, after which the fall into the receiver of a

pneumatic conveyor, which consists of a system of galvanize^ piping, through which a strong current of air is forced by centrifugal fans. The air blast in the pneumatic conveyor separates the leaves and lighter parts, and blows them up through one branch pipe to one loft, while the heavier pieces of stalks pass through another pipe to a second loft and are blown through a grating to remove any remaining leaves. The cut stalks are then fed into another branch of the conveyor, and are carried to a large hopper, whence they pass into an attrition mill, which cracks the shell and releases the pith and its fiber.

The whole disintegrated mass then then passes into a large rectangular box, with conical ends at top and bottom, into which ends lead

pipeB

of

another pneumatic conveyor. This box is called the ''cyclone," the strong currents of air within being so directed as to blow the pith and its fiber upward, and the pieces of the shell of the stalk downward, where the latter are ground and reground with the leaves as feed for cattle. The pith and fiber, blown upward, pass into a double concentric cylindrical screen, which revolving slowly in an air tight compartment, sifts out ail the dust. Then there remains only the coarse cellulose and its liber, and the fine cellulose, which is like Hour, and these are again separated by air blast and fall in different compartments.

In the Owensboro factory there are sixteen of these attrition mills. These are not over two and one-half feet high and about eighteen inches wide. The resemble in outward appearance an ordinary power fan. The material, stalk and pith attached together, is fed by hoppers into the top of each machine. Two belts from the main driving shaft connect one at each end with the axis of each machine. On one side the axis is making 1,800 revolutions a minute, and on the other 1,400, thus indicating that the separation of the pith from the stalks is by a process of rubbing, or friction.

The stalk part is conveyed to another building where it is put up in sacks of 200 pounds each and sold for cattle feed. These sacks are about the size of a 100 pound sack of bran. The cellulose or pith passes to other lloors of the same building and is also sacked, by in 50 pound bundles. It is so light that a 50 pound sack is about the size of a sack of wool, say seven feet long and eight or nine feet in ciraumference. iv rrs VARIOUS USES.

F'

Cellulose has a hunndred uses, only requiring the needed machinery to make them effective. One of the isimplest is its use as it comes from the mill for packing journals. Experiments have been tried on the Reading railroad, which show that cellulose is far cheaper, more lasting and requiring less oil than cotton waste, and that no such thing as a hot box could ever happen with a cellulose packing.

As a non-conductor of heat it is said to be 27 per cent, better than the best covering for steam pipes, boilers and refrigerators now on the murket.

It makes a paper far superior to wood pulp. It is used as a basis for smokeless powder: it can be made into film for kodaks into frescoes, and all articles now made of papier mache or composition. It is used for packing fruit, for making water proof cloth, linoleum, imitation silk, and for making the finish on patent leather. In fact it seems that it is destined to become one of the most useful basic articles of commerce, for it can be obtained in unlimited lanties in nearly every part of the country, and its utilization is simply a question of inventing machinery to work it into useful articles at practical cost. It encroaches on no other product, for it is now a waste material, the greatest waste known to the economies of agriculture. In view of its possible uses and vast sources of supply, it can surely be looked upon as one of those happy thoughts which add to the advantages of man with the hoe over the man who toils with the matters of exchange between the producers and the consumers.

The factories producing this cellulose mast necessarily be rather small, as they must be scattered among the cornfields. They will, therefore, distribute their benefits widely.

The factories which manufacture the product into its varied possibilities mnst be in the big central cities, and will, therefore, add to the wealth and employing capacity of such places. If cellulose is all that is claimed for it, and there seems no reason to doubt, it will become an important factor in the corn belt of the United States.

The food product from the stalk is by no means the least important feature of this business. It contains all that is nutritious in the stalk and is in a most convenient shape to handle and feed, it has not yet been placed upon the open market, as the whisky trust has contracted for the entire output of the cellulose factory and it goes to Peoria, 111. If the farmer does not care to sell all his fodder, however, the factory will exchange ono ton of the feed for two tons of the Btalks. This would make the price 8li a ton.

AS A CATTLE K00I1.

The Stale agricultural experiment

station of Maryland has conducted an extensive series of experiments with thif new corn product, and the results have been quite remarkable. As only about 12 per cent, of the stalks bought by the factory are pith, and the other 88 per cent, fodder, the use and value of the latter cut a very large figure in the future of the business.

The new corn product contains 11 pounds per 100 more total digestible matter and two pounds per 100 mere digestible protein than the whole fodder shredded.

It contains as much digestible matter per 100 as corn blades. It contains three pounds per 100 more total digestible matter and onehalf pound per 100 more digestible protein than timothy hay.

It contained within one pound as much total digestible matter as wheat bran, but less than one third as much digestible protein consequently the nutritive ratio is wider.

There was more digestible matter in a fattening ration with the new corn product as a base than when the same grain mixture was fed with corn blades.

Animals fed with a fattening ration with the new corn product made more gain in live-weight and upon less feed than with a fattening ration of the same grain and corn blades.

Rations made up with the new corn product can be fed with less labor and lees waste of feed than when hay and fodder are separately, as ordinarily practiced.

The keeping qualities of the new corn product are as good as linseed meal, cottonseed meal or wheat bran.

The production of such a cattle food as this 6eems to be in itself a matter of profound importance to a country raising as many cattle as does the United States, and where millions of tons of this same material are annually thrown away.

%It

is of especial interest to the

great corn belt of the lower Mississippi valley and its drainage. It is the pith, the cellulose, however, which appeals more to the public curiosity, for its use may truly be said to be a new idea.

PLANTS IN OPERATION. ."

The Marsden company now has tv plants in operation, one at Owensboro, Ky., and one at Rockford, 111. Cornstalks are now being bought at eight other locations—Vincennes and Marsden, budianna, Midway, Farmer City, Cheona, Linden, Fairbury, and one near Peoria, 111 plants at Rockford and Owensboro are larger than any more will be built.

It has been found that factories consuming 30,000 tons of stalks a year are the most practicable.

A section ten miles square contains 04,000 acres of land. In the corn belt half of this is covered with corn,which will average two tons to the acre, giving 04,000 tons within a maximum of five miles, or over two and one-half mile haul to the factory. Cornstalks are oulky. To be handled at a profit to the farmer, he can pay no freight except the time of hitnsell and ttie team which it takes to make a short trip. The way the farmers are doing around Owensboro is to load the corn bundles tied securely in bales together, and they are unloaded into the factory stack by block and tackle. .The loads hauled there run from 1,500 to 3,000 pounds, and they are hauled on hay ricks. It is expected along the ^Ohio river to utilize llatboats, and the same could be done, of course, an any other quiet stream of sufficient size. At each of the ten plants now in operation or in prospect the company has a man buying cornstalks of the crop of 1897. The total purchases this year will be about 300,000 tone, or 81.000,000 worth of stalks. These will keep the ten factories, employing at least 1,000 men, running for the ensuing year.

This million dollars come to the farmers of that section as a clear gain. It is hard to convince them at first that anyone would buy their cornstalks. The^company was even forced in some instances to hire men and teams and demonstrate that good wages could be made hauling these stalks to the mill. The only income the farmers have had heretofore from their corn fields after the corn was gathered was to rent them for pasture at about 40 cents an acre.
