[GENATURED ALCOHOL.
The Few Law Applicable Only TO All
xcshoI After Placed In Bond.

The Few Law Applicable Only TO Al
xoohoI After Placed In Bond.
a rather interesting question has
arisen down in Maine with reference
to the manufacture of alcohol for in
dustrial purposes Concerning the pro-
visions of the bill which became law
at the last session of congress and takes
effect dan. / next, one of the ablest
lawyers of the state of Maine, which
Is a prohibition state, argues that no
.personscan manufacture alcohol under
this law in that state The argument
is this-tnat the so called free alcohol
act takes mo cognizance of alcohol until
it lis in baud and its manufacture and
placing in bond must comply with the
law already existing and be governed
by the sane. conditions Not until after
the alcohol mas been completely manu-
featured and placed in the United
States warehouses can the free alcohol
bill be invoked.
Some farmers have been led to be-
lieve that under this law they could
erect dfstilieries on their farms and
turn their various products into aicohol,
but even if they could do this in other
states not under prohibition law. they
could not do this where such a law is in
force. The purpose for which 1t is dis
titled makes no difference. 1t is dis
titled as alcohol and of such proof as
to be a strongly Intoxicating liquor.
When placed in bond it is in the Gus
tody of state or court officers. The
owner has the option Of selling it in
the bonded warehouses subject to the
tax or to pay the tax on barrel or
more at a time and withdraw 1t from
bond or to withdraw it from bond de-
natured free of tax. AS the grange
was foremost in the fight in securing
its manufacture in prohibition states
it is matter of considerable interest

Therv are very tew plants easier OF

are just as few things we kus,w of that
become SO utterly worthless If their
simple requirements are nst attended
to.
The seed of cinerarias may be sown
any time after the first week in AHi-
gust. 1T should be sowR in shallow,
well drained pans in soil composed 'of
loan. leaf meld and sand in about
equal proportions. The surface should
BE made perfectly level and even.
Then the seed may be sown somewhat
stbizly, covering it with fine sand and
water with fine. hose. After the seed
as sown place the seedDans in frame
with the sash sloped to the north
When the seedlings are large enough
to handle they should be ported into
the smallest pots with soil composed of

IN THE GARDEN

Sow seed OF spinach for spring
green's in rows foot apart. In early
winter the plants may be thinned if
too crowded and the Trimmings used for
green's.
Spraying with limewater after dark
win quickly clear snails from anything
they infest Sprinkling dry lime or
ashes about infested plants is also a
remedy.
Let no specimens of squashes worth
saving be touched by frost. Gather
them and store in dry, warm place
Clear off the earlier patches Of cab
bage and continue cultiyating the late
ones.
Gather large, ripe pods of all sorts
Of garden beans for seed. Be sure to
save seed of choice llmas, selecting
the larger pods on the lower parts Of
the vines.
Keep the strawberry beds scrupu

WINTER WHEAT.
The Main Principle In Preparsns Tire
seed Fed.


seed Bed.
4 winter wheat seed bed should he
firm below, though the surface ought
to lie uniformly fine. In order to bring
tbs condftioR about the Iowa Home
stead recommends that piowing be
done early, and says: We admit, how
ever. that 1t is sometimes impossible to
sio the work at the right time and we
know that Ahere are thousands of stub
bic fields that are yet to be Itlewed in
preparation of seed bed for winter
wheat IN such a case the next best
thing must be done, namely, that the
harrow should be freely used after
blowing. Where roller is available
the seed bed may be brought into more
ideal condition if this implement is
alfernated with the harrow than win
be the ease if.The harrow alone is used
However, in the absence Of the roller
an almost perfect seed bed scan be made
with the harrow. Ii may be necessary
TO gosover the soil as much as half a
dozen times in order to bring it into the
right condition. but 1T should be remem-
bere6 that the labor expended this far
viii sDe profitable labor.
Use of the drill.
In working the soil down in order to
get it firm after blowing the surface ds
brought info almost ideal condition.
The seed may then beiuniformiy coy
ere6, and the crop VIII start evenly.
To follow this up and take advantage
of all the work that is done liz prepar-
/ ing the seed bed one should use the
drIsl in seeding There seems to be
some natural advantage that has not
really been explained IN sowing winter
wheat with the driIl. 1t means not
I only the even distribution of the seed
and uniform covering. but drill sown
grain seems to be heaved out with
greater difficulty than that which is
ssown broadcast.
Time of Sowing.
AS to time of sowing, this must de
I pend on the location Each commn-
niry usually has this matter sized UP
correctly. and the best guide to go by
i is the experience oil those who are
NEST successful in the community
Generally speaking 1t is our opinion
fliat it would be better if more wheat
were sown earlier than is the usual
custom. We have never seen an in
stance where a growth of six or seven
inches in the fall hurts the crop, but
have known many eases where the
Weld was increased as much as ten or
fifteen bushels by good fall growth.
A good top means strong root, and
throughout large area of the winter
wheat belt this strong root is an abso
lutte necessity if maximum yields are

CONTESTS FOR MEMBERS.
Some Practical Suggestions which
VIII Obyiate Difficulties.


VIII Obviate Difficulties.
C. S. Bartlett, a lecturer in one OF
Michigan's subordinate oranges. offers
some very sensible suggestions on the
conduct of the grange contests to Sc
cure new members
Let the grange appoint committee
to prepare a schedule Of points and
rules to govern the members in the
work. Let the committee act and re-
port. Change or amend the plan as you
wish so as to accomplish the object
sought. Then select from your num-
Der two captains and an umpire, who
should, first of all, be honest and also
have the interest of the grange at
heart and understand its objects. Let
the captains choose sides, taking pains
to have all the members Of any family
chosen on the same side, or, If any
members are so associated that they
can do better work together, select ac-
cordingly, all the time aiming toward
harmony and perfect work. Then take
hold and go in and win.

The aggregate value of the manure
annually produced in this country runs
in the millions The average farmer,
however, is absolutely wasteful in bis
care of it. neglecting even the simplest
precautions for preserving its fertiliz-
ing qualities says Farming. In very
many cases the liquid manure is often
almost a total loss, and the solid part
that remains has been so thoroughly
leached out by frequent transforms
and by exposure to the weather that its
value is almost entirely gone.

care Of pansy seedlings.

Some of the finest palsies appear in
September after the beat of summer
has passed If plants are wanted for
bloom in winter or early spring the
seeds should be sown outdoors after
the summer heat is over. Water them
well and shade them by means of
boards or Stats. AS soon as the tiny
seedlings appear above ground remove
the boards so that the piantlets may
have light and air. If these plants are
TO bloom in spring. pinch out all flower
buds that appear in winter and cover
them lightly with hay or evergreen
boughs. Too heavy coverings smother
and choke pansy plants. A fresh lot OF
plants should be grown every year.-

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Cash Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-The sales of wheat
in the December option continued throughout
the day and were more general in character
than at any time during the last two weeks.
The principal demand from shorts. One
of the chief reasons for the selling of the De
cember option was an estimate made by local
commission house that 1000. 900 bushels will
be delivered on the first of the month on De-
cember contracts. The fact that total primary
receipts for today exceeded those of the CORE
spending day one year ago had some effect in
weakening values. Prices sagged steadily dur
ing the day. the final quotations being close
to the lowest point December opened shade

72ssc and closed weak and &c to &c lower at
72& @7215c. May ranged between 1Sc and 7S12c
and closed at 7S@7SAc
The frmness of the corn market due to
the small amount of contract corn in Chicago
and the fact that local receipts running
very light. The market closed firm. December

and 44c and closed at 437sc
The feature of the trading in oats was the
changing of the December option for the May
delivery. Trading was quiet. December opened
unchanged at 1880, sold OF to 331sc and closed
at 33k M33Ac.
Provisions were firm At the close January
