GREEN DYE FROM Germ CoBS
Science Has Added Another Achieve
ment to Its Record in Use OF
Raw Material.

Science has found way of utiliz-
ing all corn cobs, short or long, In the
manufacture of various chemicals. AS
the corn cob consists of cellulose,
which is valuable for making many
products, such as celluloid and paper,
1t Is considered desirable to save the
substance OF the cob. The furfural,
therefore, is taken from the extract
which is obtained by boiling the cob
in water and the cellulose can thus
be kept for other purposes.
This liquid is employed for many
purposes in industrial chemistry, and
can be so treated that 1t will yield a
bright green dye, which is much liked
by women Of fashion, says the De
troit News.

There are six good reasons why
purebred livestock is better than COM

Better conformation and quality, more

greater uniformity, earlier maturity,
greater sales value, and more valuable
offspring.

the country backs up the conclusion
of the department of agriculture at
