Increase the number Of heat units
Tor a given bulk OF material, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger The ele-
ments Of cost Of manufacture and
shipment must also enter into all
these calculations, so that what viii
meet requirements in one locality is
totally united for another. To pre-
vent the waste OF the sawdUst from
the large mills which are cutting down
our forests a sawdust and petroleum
briquette has been produced, and
other seemingly waste products have
been combined with chemicals to 1T
them for use as fuel Thus the i'm
mense piles Of culm dust TO be seen
around the mouths Of the coal mines
have come in for their share OF at
tentiOn. One Of the newest chemical
combinations which utilizes this ma
terial in large proportion comes from
Kentucky and consists in melting res
in and oil together until they fuse,
adding to this while the mass is heat
ed to $50 degrees Fahrenheit diluted
sulphuric acid. The resulting com
pound is combined with a mixture Of
coal. dust and black oxide Of mangan-
csc, which has been heated for about
an hour at a temperature of 200 de-
grees. This whole mass is then sub
jected to pressure to compress it into
bricks Of any desired shape and size.

Pepsin in cbsese-MsIeino.

From experiments made at the New
York Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton at Geneva. with pepsin IN cheese
making, one conclusion drawn is that
it is the pepsin contained in the ren-
net that causes the changes noticed in
the ripening process. Prof. Dean Of
the Ontario Agricultural College Dairy
School says that If this be true, 1t has
been suggested that pure pepsin be
used instead Of rennet for coagulstinz
milk in the making Of cheddar cheese.
A sample lot Of pepsin was got from
Chicago and some. cheese have been
made at the Guelph Dairy School.
While the cOagulatiOn did not appear
70 be normal, as with rennet, the curds
after dipping seemed very nice. Prof.
Dean says It VIII be some time before

A inch boards making form: 3. half
inch bolts; c concrete wall; y. bolt witt
four nuts; E band iron IL wide anc
three-eighth inch thick
and each circle is divided into -four
sections (see plan). The sections
consist Of six-inch boards two feet and
a half long, bolted with small bolts
on two bands of ssx2 inch iron; the
top band is within four inches Of top
OF the boards and the other two four
inches from bottom. The ends Of the
band iron should turn out where they
join each ether in order that they may
be bOlted together. The bolts should
have a continuous thread cut on them
and four nuts on each, two between
the band iron and one on each end OF
the bolts. These nuts are to tighten
or loosen the form when desired
There must also be half inch bolts
put through the wall, three in the
bottom and three in the top Of each
section and through the band iron.
When the form is raised these bolts
are taken out and the form lOOsened
by Stacking the nuts on the bOlts
where the sections join
At the joints where the sections
meet there must be One-eighth inch
plate OF iron twelve inches wide
screwed on to the form, letting the
other side lap under the form; this
holds the concrete to its place and al
lows the form to loosen OF tighten as
desired.
To raise the form, stand four up
rights on the inside Of the silo where
the sections meet, and about six OF
seven feet above the wall nail on a
plank. allowing the plank to project
over the wall; fasten a small pair Of
blocks to the ends Of these planBs.
There must be four Of these planks
50 as to raise the form up on all
sides alike Take a short whimetree
and fasten the hooks TO both the out
er and inner form and the lower block
TO this whifietree. A man at each
rope viii raise the form easily; then
tighten up the bolts again. II care be
taken any one can build q silo as true
and smooth as a crock.
There are about fifty feet Of unset
tied ensilage or forty feet Of well set
