There Is Nothing "Just as Good" as Its
Bark Product
When a man goes into a hardware
store for a supply of cork for some
specific purpose he generally gets what
he asks for. The reason why the dealer
does not endeavor to persuade him to
try something else Just as good" is
because there is nothing else he could
offer.
Cork is cheap, and for ages it has
stood alone in its field of usefulness
1t is tough and elastic, and it's specific
gravity is only 0.24. This, added to the
fact that it is impervious to water, &C
counts for its use in life preservers.
The cork oak, which grows principal
~ in Spain, Portugal, Algeria and
southern France, furnishes the supply.
Only the outer bark Of the tree is used
for the commercial product. When the
tree has attained a diameter of ap-
prOximately five inches, which usually
it does by the time it is twenty years
old, the cork, as the first stripping of
bark is called, is removed. This cork
Is so rough, coarse and dense that it
has little commercial value. But it's
removal does not kill the tree On the
contrary, it seems to promote develop,

The stripping is done in July and Au-

order not to injure the tree. If it is

CornmeaI Mush.

1t has been found after careful tests
that five pounds and two ounces of
corn are required to produce one pound
Of pork-that is, hog must consume
more than five pounds Of corn to gain
q pound IN weight
Cornmeal mush or cornbread, it fol-
lows, is vastly more economical as a
food for our tables than ham or bacon.
The only practical difficulty in bene-
fitting by this knowledge is that many
people think that corn is so much bet
ter when it is transmitted by the lowly
hog that it is worth five times the orig
