Turf Congress to Meet.

CINCINNATI, April "A meeting Of the
turf congress will be held today. The
committee of three appointed at the last
meeting to revise the racing rules will
submit their work for final hearing. The
committee is composed of l.. P. Tarlton,
Joe Murphy and Colonel Lewis Clark.
The Owners and Trainers association
will submit request for the adjustment
OF the rule making the minimum weig hit
in selling races 100 pounds. This rule
reads as follows:
in overnight events, such as handi-
caps, selling and conditioned races, the
minimum weight for three year-olds and
upward shall be 100 pounds. In races eX-
clusivey for two year Odds 100 pounds.
1t is claimed that a great injustice is
done the three year old division by this
rule. The best three year-Old can gel
in the way of a weight allowance is sly
pounds, while four and five-year. oIds and
upward get all the way from 20 to 2
pounds allowance.

CLEANED IN RAILROAD CIRCLES

On the London District railway, by

each station is now shown in every car

This was made necessary by the fact
that on the stations themselves the

the cost of the improvement is to be
met by surrounding the names that are

Anyone having experience in raising

Cream Separators.

We take pleasure Ia calling the atten-
have any interest in that connec ton to
the new 1895 advertisement of the De
Laval Cream Separators, which appears
in another column.
If any diary authority were asked to
name the one thing which has contrib
uted must to the development and i'm
provement of our dairying interests in
the last few years, the answer would un-
questionable be-the Cream Separator.
And when one speaks of the Cream Sep
arator the name De Laval seems almost
synonymous Herewith.
Separators come and go, but the De
Laval appears to maintain an even
prestige at all times. 1t was practically
the first to make itself known in dairy
ing, and much of our progress in this
great interest is doubtless due to it.
For several years after the Power sepa-
rators were introduced in our creameries,
nothing was known but the De Laval,
except a cumbersome machine styled
the danish Weston" which has now
gone out of use. Then for several years
when dairy separators were first intro
duced, they were solely Of De Laval
make. These were not altogether prac-
tical for general purposes, and were fol-
lowed by the present styles of De Layal
Hand machines termed the Baby"
The success of these latter has been such
as to naturally bring about attempted
competition from other concerns, but
the field is so large one and so con-
stantly developing, that there is ample
room for all-Louis V. Urmy, Room SO

Selling Cotton Seed.

f Is nOJ likely UilaJ any discussion Ill
the press Or otherwise will materially
influence the majority of farmers in the
disposal of their cotton seed. Whether
the price is $l4 or 81 per ton, the seed
will be sold just the same-reluctantly
perhaps, bus none the less steadily. The
farmer is too prone to look upon the sale
of the seed as so much saved, regardless
of the price; but, says a writer in the
Texas Farm and Ranch, there are some
who, if clearly reminded of the farm
value of the seed, will demand certain
price of the mill men or use the seed at
home upon the farm. Especially should
this be done by the farmers living upon
the poorer land of the state-land that
is not sufficiently fertile to begin with,
and that will rapidly grow poorer as
each annual crop of cotton is sold and
nothing returned. Upon richer land of
the state, like the black waxy and the
alluvial river bottoms, the seed is of less
Importance, but even there they have
great feeding value that should not be
thoughtlessly disregarded.

Obtaining Tnrnantin

Obtaining Turpentln
Colonel z ebert ". best, VINO mas been
secretary of state of North Carolina and
has held responsible positions in connec-
tion with both the tenth and eleventh
United States censuses, has the follow
ing to say concerning the turpentine in
dustry in letter to Country Gentleman:
Turpentine is the natural emulation of
the pine and other coniferous trees. 1t
is obtained in the southern states from
the long leaf pine, as the yield is larger
from that than from all other coniferous
trees. The process Of obtaining turpen-
tine is by cutting hole, or, as it is C; IL
ed, "box," in the tree.
The cutting Of boxes is done principal
~ in the winter, beginning generally in
January, and but few are cut in the
spring. Sometimes it extends into
March, but when the sap begins to rise
in the trees the cutting ceases 1t is the
aim Of those engaged in the business to
have the boxes cut and "cornered' by
the LIST of April, at which time the chip
ping begins. Some boxes, however, will
fill by the cutting and cornering. 1t re-
quires generally about six clippings to
fill the boxes.
The average height at which the boxes
are cut is about one foot from the ground.
This height is selected for three reasons:
1. There is swell or enlargement Of
the trunk at the ground, which becomes
smaller extending upward, and by cut
ting the box at this height it catches the
turpentine better as it drips from the
face and is less liable to fall on the out
side. 2. The trash and dirt are not so
liable to get into the box during heavy
rain. 8. There is better yield Of tur
pentine nearest the roots of the tree.
The commercial name of the crude
material as it comes from the tree is
'turpentine. " This may be "dip"-that
taken from the box or ''scrape'' (Which
congeals on the face. ''Virgin turpen-
tine'' is the first dipping of new boxes,
from which the finest grade Of rosin,
WV, is manufactured. Each successive
dipping lowers the grade of rosin, and
after three or four years the turpentine
becomes so yellow as to make the rosin
quite dark. The grades of rosin are thus
classified: A, B, G, D, E, F, G, H. I,
K, M, N, VIC, or window glass, WV,
or water white
The quality Of the rosin depends large
~ upon the skill and experience of the
distiller, and it by no means follows
that any distiller, although running a
charge of virgin dip, will make WV
or VIC rosin. By the process of distilla-
ton the "oil'' or ''spirits of turpentine"
is extracted from the crude material,
the residuum being rosin. A task of
boxes for one clipper is usually 10, 900,
sometimes 10, 900 if the land is thickly
timbered. These are Clipped once
week and will fill in six weeks The
price usually charged for the privilege
Of cutting is SIS per tbouean3 sSroxes.
