Business Mems Association.

AS a like necessity exists in River

to the forming of an association of
the above character from the Bayfield,
Press, and recommend it to the care
full thought of the business men of
this village: "Among the necessities
of Bayfield, at this time of her exist
ence. far more probably, than at any
time in the past or future is the ne
cessity of a thorough union on the
part of her business men and property
owners and oneness of purpose In
advancing her interests. That there
are a good many things that could be
done to aid in her growth if Eer citi-
zens would pull together is beyond
doubt fact. But the question arises,
how shall we become united and set
tie upon the accomplishment of some
certain thing, for instance, the estab-
fishing of some manufacturing indus
try! We think the question can be
answered in a very few words. as fol-
lows: BY forming a Business Men s
Association. Let or business men
get together, organize an association
by electing their proper officers and
hold weekly meetings where they can
get together and talk upon matters
pertaining to the upbnilding OF the
place aud we warrant it won't be- long
before some one makes suggestion
that will be acted upon with as'onish-
ing good results. The writer knows

nov ALCOHOL IS mApE.

When barley or other grain is stepped
In water till it sprouts, and then, care
fully dried, it becomes what is termed
malt. By this process part of the starch
of which the grain is mostly composed
has been converted into sugar, and q
new substance has been developed,
known as diastase, nitrogenousAody,
which Immediately, when the malt is
mixed with water, reacts on the remain
ing starch and transforms it also into
sugar, the LIQUID consequently soon as
summing a sweet taste. We have now, In
fact, solution of sugar, which is known
as wort; but we may attain the same by
using unmalted grain-potatoes. peas,
beans or other starchy materials which,
by the addition of dilute sulphuric acid,
is converted into soluble sugar. Hav-
ing thus obtained O solution of sugar
from any of these sources, or still more
directly from beet root or "toothsome
cane" yeast is added to the wort, and
the process of fermentation" is rapidly
set up Ivy which the sugar is decomposed
into two chief products, alcohol and car
homie acid gas, and several minor ones,
glycerine, succinic acid, etc., ninety
Ave out of every hundred parts Of sugar
being transformed into alcohol and car
bonic acid, four parts going to form
glycerine, etc.. and one part as nourish-
ment to the yeast plant, which has null
tiplied immensely, and now forms q
frothy scum upon the surface of the
liquid. By the fermentation spirits
have been produced, and the object Of
the next process, the distillation of the
fermented wort or mash, is to separate
the spirits from the liquid in which it
exists. The produce of this operation is
an impure spirit known as Glow wines"
which has to be redistilled at lower
temperature to get rid of part of the wa
ter and oils with which it is contaminat-
ed. the product of this second distilla-
ton being the mixture OF alcohol and
water known as whisky" or spirits OF
wine" because it was by the distiil alton
of wine that spirits were first obtained.
