THE WOOD FIRE.

There is no fire like a wood fire.
Neither gas, coke nor coal furnishes &
fuel which has as many good qualities
as wood. They are all allied with the
generation Of pestiferous gases and
noxiOus odors, while the burning wood
has & fragrance all it's own and sug-
gestive of grand old trees and wood
land growth. In the wood fire we see
reflected the summer sunshine of a
hundred years. the budding and leafine
out and the autumnal splendor Of for
est foliage. The open wood fire is full
of delightful sentiment, which a coal
stove, with it's gas and bad smell, can
never command. Then when one comes
to cooking only wood fire will ever
broil piece of meat and give it that
delightful flavor so palatable to all.
Forced as we are now to use coal for
all domestic purposes, we look back
with regret to the early days when our
fathers raided the magnificent forests
Of the country and piled the wood in
heaps to burn it to get rid Of 1t. Here
In lies one Of the most regrettable and

whole country, because millions of
acres of land worthless for any other
purpose than for timber growing have
been ruthlessly cut and burned over
only to provoke floods and droughts.
While the reclamation of the desert
areas Of the country Is a great work,
we still think it Is second to the work
Of making an effort to reforest the
waste places Of the country. To this
end the government can we'll afford to
lend it's moral and financial support.
We would not burn the leaves In 1h<
fall. They make most valuable
mulch and protection for all tender
things and, if allowed to decay, fur
nish the humus which so many soils
are hungry for. Where leaves are al
lowed to lie on the lawn all winter
the grass is always brighter and green
er in the spring than where it Is left
bare.

Editor S. NJ. Owen, of Farm Stock
and Home has interested himself in
the question Of placing alcohol used in
the industrial arts on the free list.
He has written letter to Congress-
man Tawney, who replies that if any
method can be discovered whereby
alcohol maybe denaturized so as to
avoid it's being again converted into
the fire liquid that destroys mems
souls, and SO as to avoid fraud being
practiced against the revenue, that
congress may be willing to make such
denaturized alcohol free of tax. In
Germany and other European coun-
tries alcohol is being used as motive
power for propelling machinery, same
as we here use gasoline, and with the
tax removed the cost would be so re-
duced that it would at once become
competitor of oil product. AS al
cohol is largely produced from the
products of the farms, it's manufac-
ture on a large scale for industrial
purposes would be of vast Importance
to the farmers, as it would open up a
new market for their surplus pro-
ducts. The time is coming, we be-
lieve, when alcohol engines will be as
common as gasolene engines are now.
And not only as power producer,
but as an illuminant, and as an in
gredient Of hundreds of manufacture
ed articles, will alcohol be found USE
full. The present tax on grain al
cohol is $2.07 per gallon making the
selling price about So. 10. II untaxed
it could probably be sold at from 10 to
- cents gallon, a price low enough
to premit it's use for hundreds of pur-
poses where the present price is pro-
hibitive. It is claimed that a pro-
cess has been discovered whereby al
cohol may be denaturized so that it
cannot again be converted into bev-
erage without very expensive chem
fcal process. If that be true the
strongest argument against making
alcohol duty free has been removed.

THE VIEW OF THE CONSUMER,

THE VIEW OF THE CONSUMER.
There is general and growing de-
mand on the part of the farmers Of
the country in favor Of such reciproci-
ty legislation by congress as will tend
to enlarge the foreign markets for the
agricultural products of this country
There is a side to this question which
is not often presented, and that is the
rights and interests of the nonprodu-
GERS and consumers of this country who
relatively greatly 0utnumber the farm
ers, there being 100000 of the for
mer and but 100000 Of the latter.
The bread and butter question Of 49,
100000 wage earners is very closely
connected with the pri: IS of farm
products. More extended foreign mar
kets would certainly have the tenden-
cy to increase the price Of those farm
products which constitute not so much
the luxuries as the necessities of COM
mon living in this country. At the
time this is written the wage earners
are paying in most Of our cities $1.4O
for a fifty pound sack Of -four, cents
pound for cornmeal, 4 cents for oat-
meal, cents quart for milk, %
cents a pound for butter. 80 cents a
dozen for eggs, 81 a bushel for pota-
toes, $3.50 bushel for apples, Is cents
pound for steak, II cents pound
for chickens and similar prices for all
other meats The consumer and weOo
Garner Of today has to figure close to
make his income cover the necessary
expenses Of living and feels that this
burden should not be increased in the
interests Of the farmer who produces
the necessities Of life. For this rea-
son wage earners are not viewing the
reciprocity proposition with any &c
gree of favor, and we do not blame
them.

nitrogen, the most valuable Of all land

into crop Of any Of the legumes,
clover, cowpeas or alfalfa, such crop
will steal from the air and put into the
soil 200 pounds Of nitrogen in a year.
Commercial nitrogen bought in the
markets costs Is cents pound, so that
on this basis a crop Of clover will add
$50 worth Of fertility to each acre.
Anyway, any man can see from actual

riches the soil, and, realizing this fact,
