Martindale had married very love

anu children was concerned he was Il
model husband, but he would not stay
Wy home. His wife was Obliged ID
pass most OF her time alone with her
children, while her husband was CAD

Some day she said to him omi-

soon took his leave, but at the door re-

invitation to come again soon.
From that time forward for a season

at least outward welcome from the
husband. Mrs. Martindale accepted all

The note was not unwelcome, for she

DENATURED ALCOHOL.
DIR. WiIey's Idea of the Farmers Po-
sition In Its Manufacture.

DIR. Wiley's Idea of the Farmers Po-
sition In Its Manufacture.
In discussing The possibilities Of de-
natured alcohol Dr H. Wiley. chemist
Of the department of agriculture, SAYS
in Rural New Yorker that practically
all of the alcohol made IN the United
States at the present time Is made
from Indian corn The most abundant
source Of alcohol after Indian corn is
probably the potato either the ordl-
nary white. the sweet or the yam.
This is crop grown in great album
dance In almost all parts of the United
States, while in some localities espe-
cially favorable conditions are obtain
ed for the growth OF the potato-for
instance. in the northern part az
Maine, in Colorado and many other
places Imperfect. broken or bruised
potatoes can be very probably used
for alcohol making where the sound
and well formed potatoes would bring
more money by direct sale.
For denaturing alcohol that is, max
ing it unfit for drinking the addition
of from TO per cent Of crude wood
alcohol is very efficient. This pro
duces spirit known as methylated
spi<t TO make the concoction still
more bitter there Is often added
chemical compound known as pyrldlne,
which dissolves readily In alcohol and
imparts 10 it an intensely bitter and
unpalatable taste.
Or Wiley strongly advises the farm.
crs OF This country not to undertake
the manufacture Of alcohol, To do
this successfully requires a thorough
knowledge Of the chemistry Of the
process and 4 high degree ST technical
skill The successful practice Of the
future. he thinks, will consist IN the
establishment Of centra! distillerles in
o good locality accessible to the farm
crs who will furnish the raw material
for manufacture

ALFALFA SEED.
Best Seed and Largest Crops Pro-
duced Under Irrigation.

Professor A. M. TEN EYCK. Kansas
The region lying west Of the Nilsson
ri river grows most OF tho alfalfa seed
produced III the United States a large
part Of this seed is grown by irrigation
in the western part Of the great plains
region. III several Of the mountain
states and in California. Much seed IS
also produced without irrigation in the
eastern part Of the great plains region.
The dry climatic conditions Of tile west
make this section OF the country bet.
ter adapted for the production OF alfal.
fl seed than the more humid regions
Of the central and eastern states. The
best quality OF seed and the largest
crops are produced IN an arid climate
by irrigation The supply OF water
and the weather conditions during the
growing period OF the crop largely de-
termine which crop TO save for seed.
Any one Of seasons crops may
produce good seed provided the SOIL
and weather conditions are right for
growing and maturing the seed. About
the same time ID required to produce
a crop OF seed as Is required to produce
two crops Of hay
which Crop 20 Cut.
In the irrigated districts OF Colorado
and western. Kansas the first crop Is
often saved for seed. the practice be-
Ing not 20 irrigate this crop, thus caus-
Ing a medium but thrifty growth Of
plant, which. with the favorable wealth.
CT conditions prevailing In the arid
regions, usually seeds well. On The
whole, especially ia the more humid re-
gions, the second or third crop IS more
often saved for seed than the first
crop, mainly because more favorable
Wrathcr conditions prevail I'd the late
summer and early fall for maturing
the seed. also The insects which may
help to fertillze the blossoms are more
numerous IN the latter part Of the sea
son Only In the southern states is it
possible TO use later crop than the
third for seed
second or Third Crop.
In those latltndes where the third
crop may MIXTURE seed before cool
weather ana frost the choice between
the second and third crop for seed IS
decided mainly by weather conditions
az and before the blossoming period.
In tie noniiTlgated area III the semi
arid portions Of Kansas and other
western states drought is apt TO pre-
vail in the latter part Of the season.
BY which the growth OF the third crop
Is greatly reduced causing only
slight development Of seed. In such
districts tile second crop should be
saved for seed or perhaps tie first
crop, especially on dry uplands. which
may produce only one good crop fthe
ilrst crop in 4 season Ia northwest
ern Kansas and Nebraska it Is doubt
less safest 70 use the second crop for
seed, as the third crop Is apt to be
caught immature by frost In central
northern Kansas farmer must usual 1
~ decide early whether to save the
second or third crop. If the third crop
Is to be saved for seed it IS best to cut
The first and second crops a little caFly. 4
giving as much time as possible for
the third crop 10 mature.
