Letter From It. M. Iloskiuson.
Hoopchtou, III , Sept. 15, 1902.
Dear Editor*:
In a v recent letter I sent you n lew
items <>t interest from this entorprtsiug
Htt!e citv. While I lived atnoug you
I <nw several nrtic'e* railing for a can*
uiog theory. In this article I shall
endeavor t • give some idea of whaf a
canning factory i* like, especially for
Canning corn. |Twn sheJ* each
aboui 100 feet 1 ng by forty f&et wide
do to which the corn is thrown. A him
dred or enure men, women ami children
husk the corn into bushel baskets These
are emptied into a long trough contain
ing an endless belt on each side ot
which stands fear women with knifes,
cutting away any defects in the passing
corn, which is carrie i to the topmost
story of the cannery building and here
it is dropped down to sixteen cutting
machines, attended by as many* men.
Each ear is cleaned in about the time
required for the tick of a mantle clock
The cods and husks are both carried
endless belts and dumped into
the farmers wagons and the cut corn
into double acreans which removes any
objectionable substances, thence into a
heating vat,from this in a revolving filler,
thar fills sixty cans a minute and as
these are carried along to the soldering
machine, two women put on the caps'.
The machine solders twelve cans at a
time as they pass on, they are placed in
shallow iron boxes, and carried to the
cooking vats. 65U cans in each vat,
where they are kept an hour and a
buartcr, with steam pressure .15 degrees
per square inch, and 850 deg-e^s of
heatt From this they j*r«- emptied into
trough of water, containing an end ess
belt, that carrier them 100 "feet to the
other-nd in 20 minutes. Here they
are gatheied into boxes, two d«-zen esch
and stand until ready for labeling and
shipment. Two women label the boxes
and the cans are put into a machine,
that partes and papers them faster than
I can count. It takes two active car
pentera all thev can do to nail them up
as they come out. 1 am aware Nhat ail
this is very indefinite, to any one who
has not seen it an 1 nearly so to an on
looker, as the machinery nearly a l
works automatically. gome of the
heating is done by steam, other by gaso
line.
To produce the corn thousands of acres
are required. As tar as the eye can
teach seem one waiving sea of corn,
The factory herein described has
three fiillere each filling 60 cant a min*
ute. Respectfully,
R. M. HQ3KINBON,
Didn't Know It Was Loaded.

Our new courthouse lias been
completed, and was turned over
to tho county Tuesday. The
building is a credit to the county,
and will stand as a monument
to the wisdom of our county
commissioners and building
committee. However, to our
clever contractor, T. J, Darling
and his efficient foreman, Virgil
C. Parker, belongs the credit for
the neat and substantial build
ing we have. Notwithstanding
the fact that the county kept no
superintendent on the building,
it was erqcted really bettor than
the specifications called for, and
we venture the assertion thnt we
have tho best ten-thousand-
dollar court house iu the statu.
Wo cheerfully commend oiip
builders to the public as first
class honorable builders.
