quite so extended a list of valuable
qualities as the one described by an
item in the New England Farmer:
An Industrious Southern negro
owns a COW that has reached the ex-
treme limit of general purpose cow
perfection. This cow he millzs regu-
larly at night and morning. He uses
her to draw a pillow till noon, when he
drives her to town with a load of
wood. In the afternoon he plows
again, and at nightfall another load
of wood is hauled to town, at which
time the industrious farmer carries
to market roll of butter that his in
dustriOus wife has made from the
cows milk. At night the Industrious
cow grazes in the green forest nearby.
And thus the thing goes on from day
to day Our Informant says he does
not recommend either the plan, the
cow or the butter to New England
dairymen.

Denatured Alcohol Manufacture.

We do not think that that is the true
reason. 1T is not popular because the
American people are not trained to
use OIL as food A few have taken up
the use of what is sold as olive OIL
because it is fashionable. More than
twenty years ago we knew of cotton
seed Oil being offered for sale as a
substitute for lard, that was before
cOttOlene and the other substitutes
for lard had been invented.
But it did not take with the public,
there was a prejudice against oil that
made it impossible to get it a fair
trial. The Times Union item is as
follows:
1t is said 10000 barrels of cotton
seed Oil are used every year. in Maine
to pack sardines, 100000 is the
amount Holland used to improve it's
famous butter, while Italy and Spain
import 100000 barrels to rebottle and
send back to- this country as "olive"
OIL And America produces it all
Yet Americans refuse to- use this
same bland vegetable Oil ON the table
unless it has a foreign label which
pretends that it is something else than
it is. COttonseed OIL is as wholesome
as any olive oil, as cleanly and nu-
tritious as any butter, better than
some, but there is a prejudice against
it in America because it is an Ameri-
can product.

Filthy Slaughter Houses.

Do you suppose that the butchers
of Florida are any better than those
Of Georgia? Human nature is the
same everywhere.
The Farm and Ranch has an edito-
rial item which tells of what has
been found at the slaughter houses
of Atlanta
Leaving aside all question of taste,
such meat is positively dangerous to
health. The item is as follows
Atlanta, Georgia, is conducting
meat inspection crusade that turns
up some revolving things. Inspector
Wasser reported that meats had been
butchered and sold in Atlanta which
had been washed in water that came
from city sewer and that wells only
twelve feet deep were used in some
slaughter pens into which flowed all
the filthy water with which the
beeves had been washed. Out of IA
slaughter pens around Atlanta, only
three were in sanitary condition. And
Atlanta is not alone in her need for
sanitary local meat supply.

them i bitter taste, as in the manu-
factue of medicines. FOf this purpose
alcohol only could be used; likewise in
the manufacture of sulphuric ether,
denatured alcohol would not be suita-
bic. But for most of the great techni-
cal purposes to which alcohol is to be
devoted, denatured alcohol is entirely
satisfactory. For instance, it could
be used to- drive motors, automobiles,
engines for heating, and with the use

| should strongly advise the farm
ers 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 a high degree of techni-
cal skill. The successful practice of
the future will consist in the establish
ment of central distilleries in a good
locality accessible to the farmers. In
these diStilleries alcohol can be most
economically made from the raw
materials which the farmers may
furnish.

the alcohol made in the United States
at the present time is made from
Indian corn. 1 may say that malt is
used almost universally in converting
the starch of the Indian corn into
sugar, although this corn can also be
accomplished by chemical means,
viz, by heating the starch with
diluted acid, such as sulphuric or ny
drochloric acid preferably under pres
sure of steam. The most abundant
source of alcohol after Indian corn
is probably the potato, either the ordi-
nary white, the sweet, or the yam.
This is crop grown in great album
ance in almost all parts of the
United States, while in some lOcai
ties especially favorable conditions
potato, for instance, in the northern
part of Maine, in Colorado and many
other places. The imperfect, broken
or bruised potatoes can be very profit
ably used for alcohol making where
the sound, well-formed potatoes
would bring more money by direct
sale. In the making of alcohol from
the potato, it is not necessary first to
separate the starch. The whole pOta-
to can be reduced to a fine pulp, mixed
with water, and the starch converted
into sugar by malt or by heating with
an acid as above described After the
conversion of the starch into sugar,
fermentation takes place. The fer
mentation is usually conducted in
large wooden watts of a size CORES
ponding to- the magnitude of the dis
tillery. When once started fermenta-
ton goes ON with great vigor and is
usually completed Within 4S to- u
hours. The process is conducted eX-
actly as in the manufacture of alcohol
from Indian corn.
In making pure alcohol, distilla-
tom takes place in what is called
a patent still which is long cylindri-
cal column divided into many parti-
tions OF chambers. The fermented
material is filtered so as to remove
solid matter, and the alcohol passed
into the stills, where it descends from
chamber to chamber against a column
of steam which carries the more VIOLA
tile portions upward toward the top
of the still from chamber to- chamber.
in this way alcohol is finally entirely
separated from the water, which is
drawn off from the bottom of the
still. Usually the distiHation is con-
Quoted in two processes. The product
of the first distilation contains a con-
siderable quantity of water, and is
known as low wines. The low wines
are subjected to- second disftillation
and to rectifying process by means
of which nearly all of the waiter is
removed and practically all of the
other volatile constituents of the low
wines except the pure alcohol. In
this way the alcohol is concentrated
into a pure spirit containing 90 per
cent pure alcohol and per cent wa
ter 1t is in this form that alcohol is
suited for use in the arts.
