The Latest Way in Which to Utilize This
Product.
The farmers Of the United States
have long found corn their main stand
by in peace and war. They have trans
formed its ears, likewise its nubbins,
into fat and contented swine and in
creased the weight Of their beeves an
hundred fold. They have put its
grains into themselves in solid phase
in the shape of pearl white hominy.
which gives an added relish to the
spare ribs Of the grilled hog-in the
form OF egg and cracklin bread.
They have used the cobs for pipes
and fertilizers and the shucks as
"roughness" for their horses, mules
and cattle, for horse collars, cigarette
wrappers, chair bottoms. door mats
and stuf1ng for their mattresses.

The American troops are showing
the same gallantry in the Philippines
that they manifested in Cuba. and

they had at San Juan and FL Canev
The long list Of dead and wounded
are ample evidences that the war in
the Philippines is no child's play
1t is evident that To conquer the
insurgents will cost Us more men
than the victory over Spain. The
insurgents, in spite of the fact that
part of them are naked savages put
up a better fight than did the dis
pirited Don>. The advance on
Malolos has been fight from the
start. and the insurgents are con-
testing every mile of the ground.
And then. when we reach MalOloS.
we will likely find that Aguinaldo

The Biz Six Masted Schooner.

News has reached Bath to the effect
that Frank DeLOche of that city. is to
rig the monster six-masted schooner
which is to be built at the Beane ship
yard at Camden for Capt Crowley of
Taunton. She is the first six master for
which a contract has ever been given.
ana naturally everything concerning
her is Of interest, especially to ship
builders and owners.
When asked about the matter Mr..
DeLoChe said that he supposed the re-
port was correct.
What will you cali the sixth mast?"
was asked.
Well" said the well-known rigger.
as there never was a six-masted yes
sci quilt before | suppose that we haze
got 70 name that stick. and some of the
men think we had better call il the
Saturday mast. That would give us a
mast for every day in the week. except
sunday. and as Saturday is the last
day the boys think that would be a
good name"
DO you think a siX-master practi-
cal?" asked the correspondent
II don't know why not. for fve-mast-
ers have proven 50. and there was as
much talk and speculation against
them when they first came out as there
is against this one.
1t will not cost s. month more to
run a siX-sticker than ii does 4 five.
In either one the engine does the work
in smooth weather. and in rough
weather they both would reef two sails
and furl the rest. of course the yes.
sci with six masts would carry great
deal larger cargoes than the one with
five, and as the difference in cost in op-
Grating is 50 little. there would be more
money for the owners
TT was only q short time ago that
the four-master was considered a big
one; now iive-nasters are all the go.
ana the siX-sticker is about to come.
People tell about the money spent
for schooners not comparing with the
amount which used to be put into
ships. | know that it costs about as
much to rig one of these big schooners
as it would to rig a ship of about the
same size"
Speaking of the size of the six-mast-
er to be built, Mr. DeLoche said:
The five-master John b. Prescott
which they built over there was $50
feet long over the deck; 20 feet hung out
over the bow. The new six-master is
Ia be at least 30 feet longer than that.
and | hear that there is some talk of
making her so feet longer"
