sumably come from Japan AS soon

gage Kuropatkin's attention south
of Mukden. The attacks on Da pass

CORN A VERSATILE PRODUCT
Of smokeless Powder, Var
nish and Paper.

Probably few things that grow are
capable of so many uses or are as COM
pletely used as corn, says a writer in
the New York Times. The grain is
used for food both for human beings
and cattle. while the stalks are used
as cattle feed. The pith Of the corn
stalks Is used in the manufacture of
smokeless powder, in the manufacture
OF high grade varnish, and in the man
ufacture of paper. The woody por-
lions are used in the manufacture of
cheap quality Of paper.
AS food corn Is supplied in many
forms. The most familiar are as meal,
hominy and grits. Practically all the
starch that is used in the United States
is made from corn. Immense quaint
ties are also used in the manufacture
OF glucose, which, among other things,
enters largely into the manufacture of
beer. as a substitute for malt.
large quantity Of corn is used an
nually in the manufacture of whisky,
and nearly 15,000.0 900 bushels are used
every year in the manufacture of col
ogne spirits and alcohol. Even in the
manufacture of these products nothing
is lost. The glutinous and other resi-
dues in the manufacture of starch, glu-
cose, whisky and alcohol are used as
cattle feed.
