Something liko a year ago B. It. Demeritt

that Waterbury was the center of a oorn
RrowluR region aud that an up-to-dato can

this ldea ia ln aubstantlal forin in tho way
of a factory 103 feet long by 30 feet wide to
which ia annezed a hasking ahed of the
aamo length and elghtcen feet in width.
From forty to aixty bands, according to tho
aupply of corn, are employedln the husklug
abod and twonty-llve handa ln the factory.
The corn ia broufiht to tha factory in the
ear and aold by the hundred welght. Altnr
welRhing lt 1b dumped in .ho huakingahed
wbero lt ia huaked into basketa, the farmora
C-irtiLf; away tho huska for feed. Tlio corn
la theu carried to tbe aocond floor of U o fac
tory, where lt la Btripped from the cob and
tbe allk romoved by rttnuing it throtigb the
power cutters and Bllkera. It ia then Gon
veyed through a spout to tho cooker on the
flratlloor. Tho oooker foeda tho corn Into
tho cana whtcb, atter pasaing through the
wlper, p?89 through the capplug and tip
piug machinea which solder the opeuiugs
and aeal tbe cana atr tigbt.
Thtse aealed cana are tben placed In

are few, notwithHtandlng tbe ruah with
which tho work proceeda, aro torted out.
Thee traja are placed ono abovo the other

Here undor steam hout tho cana of corn
aro koptfor an Uonr at n texnperaturo ot 250

The Beaaon ia ahort, openlng about the
