CHEAP ALUMINUh.

new method of Extracting aluminium
from clay is the invention of II. Green
way, of Joplin, No. This rev alumni
UNI process is carried on, says the Age OF
Steel, by contact of air in two furnaces
separately heated, one of which contains
retort IN which the clay is distilled and the
other peculiarly constructed and arrang-
ed reduction chamber composed of refeac
tory lire clay lined with magnesia In
shape the Eshell or chamber is long rec
tanguar prism, the rectangular planes of
which approach very near to each other,
thereby permitting the carbon to
be quickly and highly heated The
chamber is set In the furnace at an angle
OF As F., and Its short axis is careened
somewhat, o.facilitate the gravitation of
the metal to the outlet connected with a
receiving vessel. The distilling retort is
charged with a mixture of bituminCus coal
and ordinary clay, prevlously dried. The
furnace is heated to a degree sufficient to
generate gas without fusing the clay. The
reducing chamber is charged with a suit
able form OF carbon. Heat is then gener-
ated from coke in the furnace, and by the
assistance of blast i. raised to temper
allure of over 20O09 degrees F. After al
lowing the watery Vapors from the retOrt
to pass away into the fue, valve is open
ed which permits the alumina Eapor to-
gether with the coal gas in a nacent state,
to enter the reducing chamber where it is
decomposed and passing the heated
chamber Is reduced to the metallic
state. One of the chief features of H.
Greenway's invention is the heating of
clay without vaporizing any of the silica
with which it is associated, which would
be the case if the clay and the principal
reducing agent were heated together in
furnace hot enough to render the deodoriz-
ing agent effective. Another feature is
the fact that alumnia as it exists in clay
is found in a high state of subIima'ion;
and here lies, the inventor says, the key
of the whole mystery hich has baftied al
attempts at direct reduction analogous to
most metalurgical operations. The ex-
detrimental tests have been entirely salts
factory, and furnaces are now being con-
structed to produce this valuable metal in
large quantities.

There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be ineurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly falling to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Examine Fruit Trees.

Fruit trees set last fall should be exam
ined frequently during the winter, as they
are liable to serious injury. The soil
around them cannot be packed so that it
will hold them firmly, and unless raised
around the trunk it will settle so that
water will ELL in and wash the dirt from
between the fine roots. If at such times
severe freezing weather occurs, the roots
are unprotected, and may be badly injured.
The soil taken out from the hole where
the tree is set is never enough to fill
around it, ana it is better to leave a
mound FIVE or six inches high all around
the trunk than TO have 1t the center of a
depression.

For three years or more the Z. S. de-

object being to discover, If possible cheap.

Sow CioFer Seed Ia Iy.
1t is always safest to get clover seed
sown early, some time in March, or as
early In April as possible. A good farmer
who generally sows clover seed on winter
wheat, says that be has made a practice
of sowing after light snow, taking a time
when the air is still and the damp snos
lies evenly over the ground. As the seeds
lie on the surface 1t is easy to see how it is
being distributed, and how far the sewers
throw carries. But if the seed is sown in
the morning it does not long remain on
the surface. The dark seed holds the heat
of the March sun and drops down through
the snow, reaching the ground before the
bulk of snow melts. When the snow goes
off there Is usually little film OF soil left
ever the seed, covering it better than any
Implement could do. 1t may be several
weeks before the weather Is warm enough
for the clover seed to grow, but it is grad
ualiy swelling under its film or soil, and
when ready to terminate it can get a good
roofing and grow without the danger of
drying up, that it would have if sown later
and terminating on " on hard surface.
Next 0 this method Of early sowing, the
next osst plan is to wait until the winter
grain can be narrowed and a mellow seed
bed made for the clover. We have chief
ly practiced this last method for the sake
Of the benefit to the grain crop, and never
failed Of a good catch. The narrowing is
especially beneficial, both for grain and
clover seed, if tins surface has been top
dressed during the winter With little fine
manure. Every particle OF manure as it
Is moved is doubled in efficiency and both
soil and manure are so mixed that the
clover seed is furnished the best possible
conditions in which to grow.
