a beverage and renders it unfit for
liquid medicinal purposes. In the pro-
cess OF manufacturing, the pure alco-
hol, or what might be termed the
liquid medicinal alcohol, it is taken
from the distilleries where it is made
and under the supervision of govern
ment official is placed in reservoirs
and sealed. When it is desired to put
this alcohol on the market it
is taken from bond. as the
storage is termed, and after the
payment of the revenue on the same
it is allowed to be sold. The
government requires the payment
OF something like dollar and eighty
cents per gallon revenue, and this
revenue naturally increases the price
OF the material just that much.
1t was claimed for the denatured
alcohol bill that it allowed this nat
ural alcohol to be taken from bond
and mixed with the denaturing mater
ials in the presence of the officers of
the government without paving this
revenue, so that the price was reduced
that much.
But the trouble with the law is that
a provision was inserted which reads:
such denaturing to be done upon the
application OF any registered distil-
lery in denaturing bonded warehouses
specially designed or Set apart for de-
maturing purposes only" Now. the
farmer, under what was purported to
be the meaning OF the law, could en-
gage in the distillation OF alcohol from
the waste and other available material
about the farm at small outlay for
equipment. But the law provided
and this was the provision, it seems.
which the whiskey trust engineered
1hrough-that it can only be with
drawn from bond and denatured in
warehouses specially designed or set
apart for this use.
The farmer could not afford to build
and equip a warehouse of this char
acter, and this leaves the whisker
trust in control of the situation, be-
cause the cost to the farmer is &C.
tually prohibitive. The large distill-
. cries will be able to manufacture the

Lynd. Mimi, July 11.-Winiam Macdonald,
editor of the Transvaal Agricultural Journal the
official organ of the Transvaal government, Is
visiting the Coteau farm, the home OF y. G.
Gregg superintendent of Minnesota farmers in.
Stitutes. Mr.. Macdonald Is travelling thru Amer
lea to study the latest methods Of agriculture.
He spent some time at the experiment station
at st. Anthony Park, where he saw the work
which is being done in the improvement OF
wheat. From there he travelled to Brookings.
S. d., for the purpose of seeing the work IN
fruit acelimatization and breeding which is be-
ing done by Professor Hansen. After leaving
Brookings he came thru to the Coteau farm In
| Lyon county in order to see the work which
| has been carried OH for ten years by Mr. Gregg
| under the direction OF the experiment station
| at st. Anthony Park. ...
| Mr.. Macdonald was struck with the high state
OF fertility Of the farm He mentioned that the
forty acre field of clover was the finest he had
| seen In his American tour. This is worthy OF
/ special note when 1t is remembered that the
clover plant was practically unknown in south
western Minnesota few years ago. In the
Transvaal it is customary to grow corn year
after year without any rotation and conse
| uuently the land becomes reduced to low
state of fertility and infested with insect pests
which destroy the plant A similar methou tt
that pursued at the Coteau farm, with some
variety of clover, would probably prove OF I'm
mense value to South African agriculturists
The Coteau farm was pioneer In the culture
Of this valuable legume, and the success u
the practice can clearly be seen in the subse
Quent crops of the farm =.
South Africa Is practically treeless land
The British government has established fores
stations thruout the Transvaal for the purpos
Of growing and distributing trees to the Boz
and English settlers. !,
Mr.. Macdonald was especially interested \
the practical and successful work IN tree cul
, ture which is to be seen at the Coteau farm
More than forty varieties Of trees have bee
tested and knowledge has been gained Of thos
best suited for general cultivation In the soutt
! interest to know that Superintendent Gregg ha
shown that the evergreen can be euccessfull
grown here. Previously 1t was widely belleve
. that the evergreen was not suited TO tne cl
. matte conditions Of southwest Minnesota.
