eulld Housea Of corncohs.

In some parts of Europe corncobs
are used for building purposes. The
cobs are collected and taken to fac
tory where heavy congresses crush
and mold them into blocks OF vari-
GUS sizes, just as bricks are various
ly nodded. These blocks are then
bound with wire so as to make them
hold together. They are then soaked
in tar to make them water tight, and
are ready for use after this treat
ment. or course, they are much
lighter than bricks, are always dry
and make good houses. This is but
one of the very many ways in which
Europe shows greater economy
than America does. There is little
over there which goes TO waste.
