NEW USES FOR CORNSTALKS

REAT VALUE OF THE BY-PRODUCTS

VnMly Iticrcnucil by the
Illricot crlc * ,
Five years ago the farmer considered the
aluo of his corn crop practically concluded
with the husking of the corn. What was ! cft
an worth perhaps sixty cents an acre at.
odder ; rather under that figure than over It
a a rule. Science , ever busy seeking uses for
> y-producU , sought to make tugar and nl- ,
ohol from the etalk of the corn , but un- I
valllngly. Now , ho\Nc\er , experiments
long different llnce have established the
alue of the by-products of the corn crop ni
robably second to no agricultural product
f a Mrnllnr nature grown In thla country .
nd has almoet If not quite doubled the re-
elpts of the corn growers , ns the slalk Is '
made practically ns valuable as the grain.
There Is now a homo market where the far
mer can get from | 3 to ? 5 a ton for corn
talks ; that Is from $6 to $12 per acre for
hat has hitherto brought him In sixty
ents at bost. The American Agriculturalist ,
which treats of this new Industry In a lead-
ng article , declares It to be one of the most
mportant departures In Industrial history.
Use * of CornntnlkH.
It gives the following list of what Is made
rom corn stalks :
1. .Cellulose for packing cofferdams on
battleships , this preventing them from sink-
ng when pierced by balls or shells.
2. Tyroxyllo varnish , a liquid lorm of
ellulosc , the ueea of which are practically
unlimited.
3. Cellulose used for nitrating purposes
or making smokeless powder and other high
xploslves , for both small and great arms ,
as w oil as purposes for which dynamite or
all other explosives ore required In various
orrna and degrees of strength.
4. Cellulose for packing , It being the most
perfect non-conductor known against heater
or electricity , jars or blows.
5. Paper pulp and various forme of paper
made therefrom , both alone and mixed with
other grades cf paper stock.
6. Stock food made from fine ground outer
hells or shlves ofcorn stalks and also from
ho nodes or Joints. The leaves and tassels
also furnish a shredded or baled fodder.
7. Mixed feed for stock , containing fine
ground shells or shlves as a base , and In ad-
iltlon thereto various nitrogenous meals and
concentrated food substances , or blood , mo-
assc-s , distillery and glucose refuse , augnr
> eet pulp , apple pomace and other by-prod
ucts.
S. Toultry foods of two types , namely
ypo 1 , containing a dominant nitrogenous
actor for laying hens , and No. 2 , containing
a dominant carbohydrate factor for fattening
purposes.
I'eroeittitKC of UtllKlen ,
The stalk of the maize plant , or American
corn , Is made up as follows , on a basis of 100
pounds of air-dried stalks stripped of leaves
and tassels : Twenty-six pounds of nodes or
olnts , twenty pounds of pith , coarse and
Ine , and fifty-four pounds of shells or shines.
The nodes contain on an average 33 per cent
of pure cellulose , the pith 36 per cent and the
shlves 40 per cent. This corn-pith cellulose
; s of so great value In naval warfare that
Lewis Nixon , the naval constructor , has de
clared it to be of as much Importance as the
development of Harveylzed armor and
smokeless powder. Cofferdams along the
side of a vessel , when tightly packed with
maize pith to a.thlcknesa-of three fcetrjwlll
not leak when perforated with shells or'oolld
shot. When the cofferdam containing this
material is perforated by a shot the elastic
ity of the tightly packed pith 'completely
closes the hole made by the projectile , so
that the water cannot paes through. Natur
ally some water must enter at the point of
perforation , but owing t'o the great capacity
of the pith to absorb water. It being able to
hold more than twenty times Its own weight
when not pressed , the water that flrst enters
Is at once absorbed. Ttofi causes the pith
which Is moistened to swell nnd thus close
more completely the aperture made by the
projectile.
The Columbia , New York and Olympla are
thus protected and many of the new war
ships now under construction In thlo coun
try , Ruosla , England and France are using
the now material , Instead of cocoanut fibre
which was formerly employed. In the
manufacture of high explosives the corn
; > lth forms an excellent basis , because of
Its admirable keeping qualities , and high-
class smokeless powders and dynamites are
now made from this product , which le said
to be superior to cotton In that It Is morn
easily nitrated and cleaned.
In 1'cucefnl Art * .
In the arts of peace the greatest value
of the corn pith at present Is found In the
liquid form of the cellulose , known as py
roxylin varnish , which la utilized In hun
dreds of ways. Nearly everything that is
made from wood pulp can , It Is said , bo made
from this material. Experiments are now
under way looking to the manufacture of pa.
per from cornstalk pulp. For one thing , It
In predicted that n substance will be pro
duced from the woody covering of the stalks
which will produce a good quality of paper
at such a price that It will be available for
newspaper USD. In the end It may bo that
the cornstalk will save the forests of this
country , which are being cut down for the
consumption of the wood pulp mills. The
uses of the cornstalk for packing and food
are varied but too technical for discussion
In a newspaper. As to the possibilities op
ened up by this now market the Agricultur
alist says :
"The possibilities thus opened up are
prodigious. To add only a few dollars per
acre to each one of the 80,000,000 acres de
voted to maize In the United States each
year runs Into a sum so fabulous as hardly
to bear publication , nut If It Is assumed
that only the fields of the corn bolt will be
benefited those eight states , Kentucky , Ohio ,
Indiana , Illinois , Iowa , Missouri , Kansas ,
and Nebraska alone average close to 50-
000,000 acres under corn. If only 85 per
acre Is added to the value of the crop In
this belt , It means the tidy sum of $250,000-
000 added to the formers' Income. "
A large plant Is now turning out these
products at Owensboro , Ky. , under the direc
tion of Mark W. Marsden , who took out the
flrst patent on cornstalk product In 1895 , and
other plants are now nearlng completion
at Iilnden , Ind. , Peorln , 111. , and Newport
News , Vft.

Is In a difficulty that requires explanation
bcforo Judge Baxter of the county court.
Two warrants charging assault and battery
were Issued against him , yesterday morning.
The prosecuting witnesses against Police
man Hydock are Peter' Wornlck and John
Kovadsky. They allege that the officer
struck them without provocation , causing
thorn physical pain. It Is said that the ac

his friends declare he will bo found not

A Severe Cold.
"A very simple measure In the very be
ginning ; of a cold , " says the Baltimore , O. ,
News , "Is to take a hot bath until the
perspiration Is established , and then wrap
the body In two or three warm , dry blank
ets In a warm room , eo that there will bo
free perspiration for an hour. The body
should then be rubbed and dried , and the
Individual should go to bed without any
exposure , and remain there from 12 to 36
hours , or until the symptoms of the cold
have entirely disappeared. " If you sbould
venture out before the end of 36 hours
you would bo almost certain to contract a
worse cold and perhaps pneumonia. Would
It not be better to take a tablespoonful
( 'four times the usual dose ) of Chamber
lain's Cough Remcdy just before going to
bed. That would effectually break up the
cold. Then you could go about your busi
ness as usual without any fear of pneumonia
as it counteracts any tendency of a cold to
result In that dangerous disease.

IIli Iiast Din ,
Governor Sounders' death lemoves one
more of the few survivors whose lives con
nect with the early history of the middle
west. He was largely Instrumental In the
nomination of Abraham Lincoln as presi
dent. Ho was chairman of the Iowa dele
gation to the national republican conven
tion held In Chicago In 18CO. While others
\\ero trying to support , Scward and Bates , ha
exerted all his efforts In behalf of Lincoln ,
who as a reward appointed him governor of
the Nebraska territory. The last signature
evstr written by Lincoln was obtained by
Governor Sounders and IS the most highly
prized souxenlr In the possession of the
Saunders family , Governor Saunders lalo
In the afternoon of the day of the assassina
tion called upon President Lincoln to get
his governor's commission renewed for the
second term , The president signed the com
mission and remarked that he was going
to the theater In the evening with a party of
friends. Next morning Governor Saunders
while on his way to Omaha picked up a
morning paper In Plttsburg and was greatly
shocked upon reading the news of the as
sassination.
Governor Saunders was closely associated
with the late Senator Harlau of Iowa , -who
was Mrs. Saunders' uncle. Mrs. Saundera
was living at Senator Harlan's home in
Washington , and Itwas thsre that Gov
ernor Saunders first -met , her. Harlan be
came secretary of , tUo .Interior. His daugh
ter married Robert' Lincoln.
Senator Harlan , who died recently at .a
very old age , visited Governor Saunders only
a few weeks ago , realizing that the time
was near at hand for them to part in this
life. Contrary to expectation the senator
died flrst and Governor Saunders was never
apprised of his death. Aware that his end
was near , the latter asked Rome time ago
to see some ot his old fronds In Omaha ,
among them Edward Rosewater and Ellis
Dlerbower. Later he expressed Wonder that
Mr. Blerbower did not come toBee him ,
not knowlne that his old friend had died.
UloRrnphlcnl Sketch.
Aivln Saunders was a native of Fleming
county , Kentucky , where he was born Jujy
12 , 1817. His father was a farmer and , as
educational advantages were then meager In
that region , his opportunities for schooling
were limited. When Aivln was 12 years old
the family moved to a location near Spring
field , 111 , , and as that country was then very
sparsely settled , his opportunities were
scarcely better. Three months at the dis
trict echyil each winter was all 'that ' was
available , but his natural taste for study
led him to supplement his schooling by a
course of reading , through which he ac
quired a vast amount of general informa
tion.

When heas 19 years old Aivln obtained
his father's consent to strike out tor himself
and bo went 'o what Is now the site of Mount
Pleasant , la. Here ho obtained work on a
farm , but subsequently exchanged this oc

AuiiolnteJ Governor of Xchrnnkn.
| His services were rccognUed by President
Lincoln by the appointment of territorial
(
governor of Nebraska March 20. 1861 , and
' ho assumed the duties ot the ofllcc. At
that tlmo the exigencies of the civil war
and the hostility of some ot thr > Indian
tribes on the borders of the territory made ,
the office of governor ono of exceptional
repponolblllt ? . When most of the able-
bodied men , ot the territory were In the
union army the Indians desolated the fron
tier and mabsacrod men , women nnd chil
dren , Odvernor Saundcrs promptly Issued
a proclamation calling for volunteers to
protect the frontier and his energetic meas
ures wore cheerfully supported. The diffi
culty was emphasized by the fact that there
were no funds In the territorial treasury ,
but all difficulties were overcome and the
savages \\ere > offeclually repulsed.
Governor Saundera was ono of the earliest
and most enthusiastic advocates of a trans
continental railway and In liln flrrt mes
sage to the territorial legislature In 1801 , ho
said : "A mere glance at the map of the
country will convince- every Intelligent mind
that the gre t Hlatte vajley , which passes
through the heart and rues nearly through
the entire length of Nebraska , Is to bccomo
the route ot the great central railway that
s to connect the. Atlantic with the Pacific
; atcs and territories. "
When the bill that authorized the organ-
zatlon of a company to build the road was
mssed by congress Governor Saundcrs was
nadc one of the Incorporate and his proph-
