Use for Waste Corn Cobs.

A big Middle West hominy plant is
to install on large scale the process
for the manufacture of corncob adhes-
i've developed by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. This adhes-
i've, dark brown, gummy substance,
is said to be suitable for use in max
ing fiber board and paper boxes, bill
posting, labelling, and wherever col
orless adhesive is not required. The
process of manufacture is simple and
the yield is large, the grade A adhes-
i've amounting to as much as As per
cent by weight of the corncobs, and
the grade B to as much as 30 per cent
additional. If this material should re-
place all other adhesives, enough could
be manufactured from per cent of
the corncobs produced in the United
States to meet the demand. Use of
this substance in place of starch, dex-
trine. and flour paste would make pos
sible an enormous saving of these food
stuffs.

the great waste products of American
agriculture, yet the chemists of the De-
partment of Agriculture have proved
that practically the entire cob can be
converted into valuable substances.
About 81 per cent, by weight, of the
cob may be converted into crystalline
glucose. The cellulose remaining after
the adhesives are removed is practical
ly pure product. very absorbent, and
might be used for a number of pur-
poses. Alcohol can be manufactured
by fermentation of the corncob glu-
cose. A certain amount of sugar may
be obtained from the cobs. About 2.5
per cent by weight of acetic acid is
recovered as by-product in the man.

Whether it will prove profitable to re-
cover all of the by-products in the
manufacture of adhesives can only be
determined by commercial develop
ment.

oration. Keep moist. After five to
ten days, depending on the kind of
seed, count out hundred, good and
bad as they run, taking note of those
that have started and those that have
not. In this way you can arrive at the
percentage of termination. And do
not plant seeds of low termination.
For corn it is best to use the rag
doll, which is merely a strip of cloth,
about twelve inches wide, and eighteen
inches long, and the seeds are rolled
up in this.
If you do not have the time to do
this work yourself, it will be done free
of charge thru the office of the County
Agent, or the seed sample can be sent
direct to the state laboratory, at Fort
Collins.
Another thing. The state seed laws
apply to the farmer who sells seeds to
his neighbor as well as to the seeds

Before planting any seed be sure

SORGHUM FOR SILOS
1t viii Pay Interest Where Other
Methods of Feeding Frequently Re-
terurn Only Principal.

G. S. Ray. of the Agricultural Col
lege, says a sorghum crop when put
in silo will yield interest like money
in a bank. Here are his reasons:
"Slage is the most economical form
in which to utilize sorghums.
"Sorghums are more productive than
corn in many of the plains counties
Sorghum silage ranks next to corn
silage in feeding value.
"Sorghums have great resistance
for dry weather and droughty condi-
tions.
Sudan grass, amber sorghum, kafir
and milo, and feterita may all be silo-
ed.
"Soil for sorghums should be pre-
pared the same as for corn.
"Sorghums are hot weather crop
and require a warm soil before plant
ing.
Seed sorghums in rows so as to
permit cultivation.
Sow six to ten pounds of seed per
acre.

Of transporting properties, paraphernalia
and all the various sized poles used in
building the tented city are placed in more
or less haphazard fashion.
This, however is far from the case.
Every single one of the more than 200
wagons used to transport the physical side
of the show is stationed with the incest
Of consideration in relation to their con.
tents.
Thus, when at night the many tents are
torn down, every wagon is found to be on
bee line with and the shortest possible
distance from that which, a half hour
later, is to compose its contents. When
the tent poles, ranging in size from what
are known as side poles TO the giant Ia
pering timbers that form the masts of the
gigantic "big-top," are taken down they
point on an exact line with the waiting
wagons. Because of this there is no time
lost in turning either to the left or to the
right on the part of the men who carry
them to their destination
And when the labOring men carry either
these poles or what are known as seat
planks or those timbers that are called
stringers and which hold the many circus
seats firmly in place, it is not necessary
for them to cast about for the point of
balance when they raise them to their
shoulders. When you next visit the circus

rsed for the equipment and feeding and
comfort and necessary paraphernalia Of
this great travelling show,
OF course, the problem Of setting up the
tents Is not the only thing which has to be
taken care of. Travelling over nearly half
Of the States of the Union, the varying diet
and water supply of the people Of the
circus and its animals becomes a matter
OF very serious Importance. A physician
and a surgeon are carried by the show to
look after the welfare Of the 1900 human
beings in the great camp.
The circus furnishes its performers and
its laborers with distilled drinking water.
Nobody is permitted to drink a drop Of
water in any town which does not come
from the steam boiler Of the circus, which
IL an immense affair where condensed
steam Is caught in mammoth cauldrons and
the purified water transferred to water
coolers and distributed at various points
throughout the tented city.
Constant watchfulness must be exercised
by those having immediate charge Of the
hundreds Of horses that are carried on
tour. They are never allowed to drink
from public watering places, but quench
their thirst from collapsible Watertight
canvas tanks which are swung from iron
frames. These portable troughs are filed
from tank wagons which obtain water from
the municipal hydrants.
The problem Of securing just the right
kind Of hay for the shows army of work
horses and its scores OF trained equines is
not always easy Of solution. To feed hay
that is too green would result in collie or
something equally as distressing. Yet the
show frequently visits a particular section
of the country when the hay at hand" is
quite fresh. To overcome this obstacle
Ringing Brothers employ agents who
travel many weeks in advance. These men
contract for a sufficient amount of proper
fodder. This hay is stored until the COM
ing Of the circus, and so when the show
arrives at the point of exhibition it has an
ample amount Of just the right kind Of
feed
But, incOnvenient as this procedure may
seem, the management of this modern
colossus" has still greater problems to
solve in connection with feeding its
menagerie animals. The troupes of per
forming seals carried by the show supply
an instance. These discriminating cpl
cures insist upon one particular kind of
fish, namely-fresh herring They con-
sumo approximately a half-barrel every
day. The herring must come on by ex-
press, and il is one of the duties of the
circus commissary to order the shipments
well in advance and always from the near
est seaport town. When it is remembered
that the show will sometimes spend a
month or more in States as far removed
from ocean waters as Kansas, Missouri or
the DakOtas it can readily be seen that
this ''chore" on the part Of the commissary
is not one to be lightly considered. Other
animals having special food requirements
include the giraffes, who must have a GER
tain amount of clover hay each week.
To the Onlooker it may seem as though
the scores Of wagons used for the purpose
The Washington times., 1919-06-08

that a red stripe is painted across the
centre Of each. This Is the centre of bal
ance and the point that the working man
brings in contact with his broad shoulders
when he carries this or that plank to the
particular wagon in which it is trans.
ported.
We're 1t not for rope there would proba-
bly, never have been a circus. Hundreds
OF miles of it are used in building the
frame" Of the canvas tents, and still more
miles used in holding these tents in posi-
ton. To the average layman the rope used
in connection with circus looks more or
less alike. Yet there is hardly a coil of il
that has not a characteristic all its very
own. The circus man can pick up the end
OF any piece of rope and tell you exactly
in what department it belong and in what
particular part of that particular depart
ment.
This the circus man is able to do be
cause he fnds plated into the strands Of
every piece OF rope a bit of ColOred cord.
IL the cord be yellow it means that the
rope is used in connection with the side
poles that are painted yellow II 1t wear
a red badge he knows that 1t is used in
connection with what, in circus parlanCe,
are known as the "Ted-quarter-pOIeS" And
So by means of yari-colored Irvine he is
able to correctly place every single one OF
the hundreds of coils of rope that form
one of the essentials of the big circus.

 PASSENGERS
 MURDERED

VERA CRUZ, Mex, June 27 (by As sociated Press) The death of, sev- enty-five defenseless passengers was one phase of the revenge taken by the rebel bands under the nominal command of Felix Diaz for the death of Aureliano Banquet and Francisco Alvarez.
 A train on the Interocean line, bear ing peons being armed only with 1n- struments of labor was dynamited be- tween Pino and Las Vigas, the greater number of the passengers killed by rife fire and their bodies, together with the living wounded, burned when the train was fired.
 Within flew days party of ban dits, commanded by the Arellano brothers, burned large part of the village of Tlapocoyan, causing an un- determined number of casualties. An other attack by Pedo Gabay, falsely reported killed, on the Alvarado rail- way near Salinas, claimed fifteen pas sengers and fifteen soldiers as victims.
 The only military success regis tered was the attack on 8 military train near Tierra Blanca, on the lsth-
 mus Railway, at point known as "Deyils Backbone" by forces under the rebel leaders, Villegas and Lagunes. The young General Ernesto Danny, Major Cirilo Gamboa and flfty soldiers were killed. Danny fighting to the last.
