THE CORK OAK TREE.
There Is Nothing Just as Good" as its
Bark Product

Bark Product.

Cork is cheap, and for ages 1t has
stood alone in its aeld Of usefulness.
1t is tough and elastic, and it's specific
gravity is only 024 This, added to the
fact that it is imperyious to water, ac-
counts for its use in life preseryers.
The cork oak, which grows principal
ly 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
1t 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 its
removal does not Kill the tree. On the
contrary, it seems to promote develop

The stripping is done IN July and Au-
gust, and great skill is necessary in
order not to injure the tree. If it is
injured at any place the growth there
ceases, and the spot remains ever after

cornmeal Mush.

1t has been found after careful tests
that Eve pounds and two ounces of
corn are required 10 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-
fting 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
inal price.-New York Telegram.

Labor Gets a chanoa.

Labor having representative on the
Council of National Defense is not in
accord with the sentiments of class of
labor's opponents, as in the latter's
opinion labor gets too much recognition
and is being exalted and given chance
to prove the lie in the opponents con-
tentions. The excrucilting part of it is
the fact that it is organized labor that
is being given a chance to make its case
in the worlds court and there is no
artificial lawyer pleading the case.
