Why did the corn laws cause fierce debate in Britain?
A Corn Law was first introduced in Britain in 1804, when the landowners, who dominated Parliament, sought to protect their profits by imposing a duty on imported corn. During the Napoleonic Wars it had not been possible to import corn from Europe. This led to an expansion of British wheat farming and to high bread prices.
Farmers feared that when the war came to an end in 1815, the importation of foreign corn would lower prices. This fear was justified and the price of corn reached fell from 126. 6d. a quarter in 1812 to 65s. 7d. three years later. British landowners applied pressure on members of the House of Commons to take action to protect the profits of the farmers. Parliament responded by passing a law permitting the import of foreign wheat free of duty only when the domestic price reached 80 shillings per quarter (8 bushels). During the passing of this legislation, Parliament had to be defended by armed troops against a large angry crowd.
This legislation was hated by the people living in Britain's fast-growing towns who had to pay these higher bread prices. The industrial classes saw the Corn Laws as an example of how Parliament passed legislation that favoured large landowners. The manufacturers in particular was concerned that the Corn Laws would result in a demand for higher wages.
In 1828 William Huskisson sought to relieve the distress caused by the high price of bread by introducing a sliding scale of duties according to price. A trade depression in 1839 and a series of bad harvests created a great deal of anger towards the Corn Laws.
In 1841 General Election the leader of the Anti-Corn Law League, Richard Cobden became the MP for Stockport. Although Cobden continued to tour the country making speeches against the Corn Laws, he was now in a position to constantly remind the British government that reform was needed.
The economic depression of 1840-1842 increased membership of the Anti-Corn Law League and Richard Cobden and John Bright spoke to very large audiences all over the country. By 1845 the League was the wealthiest and best organised political group in Britain.
The failure of the Irish potato crop in 1845 and the mass starvation that followed, forced Sir Robert Peel and his Conservative government to reconsider the wisdom of the Corn Laws. Irish nationalists such as Daniel O'Connell also became involved in the campaign. Peel was gradual won over and in January 1846 a new Corn Law was passed that reduced the duty on oats, barley and wheat to the insignificant sum of one shilling per quarter became law.

What was the repeal of the corn laws 1846?
Corn Laws were import tariffs designed to protect corn (grain) prices in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland against competition from less expensive foreign importsbetween 1815 and 1846.[1] The tariffs were introduced by the Importation Act 1815 (55 Geo. 3 c. 26) and repealed by the Importation Act 1846 (9 & 10 Vict. c. 22). These laws are often viewed as examples of British mercantilism,[2] and their abolition marked a significant step towards free trade. The Corn Laws enhanced the profits and political power associated with land ownership.
Is mini corn in Chinese food really corn?
The "mini corn" you're referring to is just baby corn, harvested young and usually from a specific type of corn that doesn't grow all that big as it is. The only real difference between baby corn and normal sized corn is the amount of time it was allowed to grow before harvesting.
You don't actually tame them you just increase their tolerance of being handled. When handling you want to make sure to touch all over, especially the face. With a lot of handling you will find that corn snakes are very easy to get along with.

Ostrich eats corn too. I think. :)
Take the corn and soak it in a bucket with a lid. Drain it after day one. Soak it again for another day. I use a wooden wine bottle box(shipped wine) got it from a liquer warehouse. drill a bunch of 1/4 inch holes in the bottom, it needs to drain. set it on a couple of bricks to keep it off the ground. put a lid on it it need to stay dark. water it 3-4 times a day. I use a little battery operated vigero timer i bought for 20 bucks from homedepot. turn it a couple of times a day. when the sprouts are about 1.5 to 2 inches then you can use it. Just a note. I malt my own for making fuel and use it to malt all kinds of feedstocks. Since I'm not drinking any of it if my corn starts to mold or get funky i use it any. Also I never dry my malted corn for fuel use i just chuck the whole mess into a garabe disposal mounted above the cooker and destory it roots and all.
