J. W. BAXLEY, Acting Secretary Postal fioard.fi 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. Roanoke, Vs., Sept 16.—Mabel Car- roll, aged 15, shot and instaatly killed her aunt, Mrs. Wto.
