Manufacturing Denatured Alcohol.

Regarding the future possibilities Of
denatured alcohol, Prof. H. w. Wiley,
United States department of agricul-
ture, says in letter to Rural New
Yorker: II think it advisable at once
to warn our farmers that it will not

denatured alcohol on the farm. 1t
can not be made except under the SUI
pervision of a revenue official. The
process requires thorough knowledge
of chemistry and high degree Of
technical skill. Like the manufac-
ture of beet sugar, the process will be
found impracticable in a small way.
Central factories are necessary in the
sugar industry, and central distiller-

A division of the flock should be
made now. The wethers should be put
by themselves. The lambs that re-

Some folks make more out of their
breeding sows than they do from their
COWS. But these are the ones who
know what it means to take good care
of things.
An Englishman claims the reason
the Lincoln is not more popular in
America is because it's breeders are

Did you ever give your horse bath
