Al STRONG PLEA.
rational Master Bachelor Before
ways and Means Committee.

Rational Master Bachelor Before
ways and Means Committee.
A strong plea for denaturized alco-
dol was made by National Master
Bachelaer at washington before the
ways and means committee recently.
He gave number of reasons why
Patrons OF Husbandry, with menu
5ership Of 100000, representing the
organized farmers of the entire coun-
Try. are actively urging upon congress
The enactment of legislation providing
for the use, free of tax, Of domestic
alcohol, which has been rendered unfit
for internal use by the mixture OF
some noxious substance. The great
Importance to agricultural interests of
the proposed legislation rises from two
comparatively recent discoveries first,
the invention Of 4 method to use alco-
hol III connection with the incandes-
cent mantle for lighting purposes, and,
second, the perfection Of the internal
combustion engine and its general
adoption as a motive power for motor
vehicles, farm engines, etc.
Authorities state that little more
than two and half gallons of 90 PEI
cent alcohol the strength which has
been found most suitable for li~hting
and motor fuel purposes, can be pro-
duced from each bushel Of corn. This
estimate is confirmed by the report of
the commissioner OF internal reve-
nue., showing tile quantity of distilled
spirits produced from corn. barley,
rye, etc. With corn costing the dis
tiller IS cents bushel the cost of all
cohol would be IA cents gallon, and
at 40 cents a bushel alcohol would cost
1G cents a gallon It is estimated that
the value of the byproducts of the
corn after the alcohol is extracted is
about sufficient to pay the cost Of dis
tillation. Cooperative distilleries for
the sole purpose Of producing denatur-
lied Industrial alcohol could be estab-
lished by the farmers and by this
means create greater outlet for such
commodities as corn, potatoes, sor-
ghum, etc In this way the cost to
the farmers of this material for light
ing, heating, cooking and motor fuel
purposes could be kept at the least
possible point.
Closing his address, National Master
Bachelor stated that the farming in
terests of the country heartily and ear
nestly favor legislation which will give
them this material for lighting, heat
ing, cooking and for motor fuel, this
to be distilled from the products of
their farms, which will give them larger
additional markets for surplus farm
products and which will promote man
ufacturing interests and increase do
nestle and export trade.

Root system of wheat.

Wheat roots examined 10 days after
sowing the seed at the North Dakota
station were found to extend directly
downward. sending out numerous
small feeders which practically occu-
pied the soil to depth of about four
feet. In later experiments the roots Of
durum and bread wheat reached a
depth of more than four feet and again
showed that the system Of roofing is
vertical instead Of lateral, as in corn
The root development was greater ln
the durum than in the bread wheat
samples

1t is gratifying to know that the

this work and of great energy. The

England to most brilliant and en-
during success. The methods there
pursued, grated upon our western
ideas and ideals. should restore this or
ganization throughout the west to a
far higher position even than it oc-
cupied thirty years ago. It Is the one
farmers order that has stood the test

It is not necessary to have cement
floors, tiled wainscoting and vanished
ceilings to secure clean milk II the
COW should stand on a platform short
enough to keep her TANKS clean when
she lies down and her udder and adja-
cent parts are brushed before milking
If the milking is done with clean hands
and the milk is cooled to so degrees
soon after milking by setting the can in
cold water in a place away from the
stable odors- there is no question but
that it can be delivered to the creamery
sweet three times q week
The can should be set In cold water
summer and winter, not covered till
cold. The cooling power Of water at
any given temperature IS very much
greater than the cooling power of air
at the same temperature, as any one
can testify who has fallen in the water
when skating. During cold weather the
cooling process should not be overdone
by allowing the milk to freeze either in
the cooling tank or on the way to the
creamery a. e. Van Norman, Pro-

Telegraph, wire.

The process of making telegraph wire
is noted, and it is explained that "tele-
graph wire is generally acknowledged
to be more durable than fence wire
and that care is exercised in the man
ufacture of telegraph wire to keep the
manganese low, because this element
increases the electrical resistance of
the wire. The difficulty experienced
In rolling low manganese steel and the
slow rate of speed at which the mill
must be run to draw the wire through
the zinc bath in the double process of
galvanizing add materially to the cost
Of the product. The question then
arises whether or not high grade fence
wire is worthy the same care and con-
sideration that are given to wire which
brings a higher price in the market
and is used for other purposes

Almost every one who has carefully
inspected woven wire fencing as it is
exposed to the weather on the farm,
says Mr.. Cushman, has observed that
some of the wires go to pieces much
more rapidly than others. The bot
tom wires lying close to the ground,
which are kept wet in summer by the
growth of weeds and grass and in
winter by melting snow, are naturally
the ones which we should expect to
rust most quickly. AS matter of
fact. however, they almost never do so,
but, on the contrary. are far more
lasting than the wires farther removed
from the ground. This observation has
been substanfiated BIZ large number
of competent observers. One would
not seek to preserve iron from rust or
zinc from corFos;on By laying these
metals away in wet snow or weeds
If, however. eiectroiysis takes place
and if the action can be diminished by
keeping the wires electrically neutral
through frequent connections to the
earth or through Frequent short cir
cults we should then expect that wires
which were kept their whole length in
constant contact with the earth would
in the long run show greater lasting
quality.

FENCE WIRE PROBLEM.
Causes OF the Col ion Of steel Wire
EencfnH.

Causes OF the Coz ion Of steel Wire
Fencing.
Into the much discussed question or
what is the matter with the fence wire
nowadays the department Of agricul-
ture, in recent publication, intro
duces the theory of electrolysis. It Is
stated that all metal used for fence
wire at present made In this country Is
classed as steel. irrespective Of the per-
centage Of carbon or whether made by
The Bessemer or open hearth process.
From the statements of officials Of a
company consuming large quantities
pf wire and from other authoritative
evidence, all tending in the same direc-
ton. the following two points are ac-
cepted: First, that modern Bessemer
and open hearth steel rusts much more
rapidly than iron wire: second, that
manganese, especially if it is unevenly
distributed in the steel. is at least In
part tie cause of the trouble.
Eject of Eiectrolysis.
Mr.. Cushnan. the writer of the mon
ograph on the "Corrosion of Fence
Fire" argues that although 1t is prob
able that the effects of electrolysis in
a fence wire are extremely small, it
must be remembered that they are con-
tinually going on whenever the wire is
wet In almost all modern steel WOW
en- wire fences some wires will be found
to far outlast others, independent of
the original weight of the galvanized
covering which they carry. II in WOW
en- wire fence all the wires would last
as well as the best ones do there would
have been no complaints. It IS just
this point Of unevenness Of lasting
quality in wires from successive heats
in the same mill which have practically
the same chemical composition that is
hard to explain by any theory but that
Of galvanic or electrolytic action. The
manufacturers have believed that the
whole trouble was in the unevenness in
the weight of zinc covering that was
put on the wire, but experiment and
observations show that this is not so.
Some wires will go to pieces before
others. although there is no discernible
difference either IN the weight or quail
ity Of the zinc covering. In one fence
which has been under observation for
four years one wire was in perfect con-
dition, although it carried light COW
ering of zinc. while the wire next to it
was badly rusted from end to end.
