CORN A VERSATILE PLANT.
But Few Things That Grow Are
Capable of So Many Uses.
Probably few things that
grow are capable of so many j
uses or are as completely used
as corn. The grani is used for
food for human beings and cat
tle, while the stalk is used for
cattle feed. The pith of the
corn stalk is used in the manu
facture of smokeless powder, in
the manufacture of fire varnish,
and in the manufacture of pa
per. The woody portions are
used in the manufacture of a
cheap quality of paper.
As a food, corn is supplied
in many forms. The most fa
miliar are as meal, hominy and
grits. Practically all the starch
that is used in the United States
is made from corn. Immense
quantity is used in the manu
facture of gluecose, which,
among other things,enters large
ly into the manufacture of beer,
as a substitute for malt.
A large quantity of corn is
used annually in the manufac
ture of whiskey, and nearly 15
million bushels are used every
year in the manufacture of colo
gne spirits and alcohol. Even
in the manufacture nothing is
lost. The glutinous and other
residues in the manufacture of
starch, glucose, whiskey and al
cohol are used as cattle feed.
Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea Af=
ter Ten Years of Suffering.
“I wish to say a few words in praise of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cho*lera and Diar
rhoea Remedy,” says Mrs Mattie Burge,
of Martinsville, Va. I suffered from
chronic diarrhoea for ten years and dur
ing that time tried various medicines
without obtaining any permanent relief.
Last summer one of my children was
taken with cholera tnorbus, and I pro
cured a bottle of this remedy. Only two
doses were required to give her entire re
lief. I then decided to try the medicine
myself, and did not use all of one bottle
before I was well and have never since
been troubled with that complaint.
This remedy is for sale by Wight &
Browne.

HOQ ATTACKS CHILD.
Seized It oy Ine Arm and
Bore it Off.
Near Ty Ty, while kom\
was away at work,
Williams went to the mill
by for some wood, leaving
child, about one year old,
in the door.
Returning her attention was
attracted by the * child’s cries,
and she was horrified to see a
large female hog, which she had
noticed near the house, seize
the child by the arm and run
off with it.
She attempted to follow, but
was so overcome that she was
m a half-fainting condition. A
lady living a short distance away
attracted by her cries, followed
the hog and by strenuous efforts
rescued the child.
When overtaken the animal
was ferociously tearing the
child’s clothing in an effort to
get to its breast.
The child was badly bruised
about the head and face and its
arms lacerated, but there are no
serious injuries, The animal
was followed and shot. —Ex.
