No Profit in Farm Alcohol.

The Department Of Agriculture,
through DR.. H. ". Wiley, chief of the
bureau of chemistry, has undertaken
to educate the farmers regarding the
manufacture of denatured alcohol. Two
bulletins on the subject have been is
sued.
From DR.. Wiley's discussion of the
subject the conclusion is reached that
the manufacture of alcohol on very
small scale is not likely to prove prof
table, and because of revenue regula
tions it is evident that the farmer must
be content with producing the raw ma
terials. The bulletin on the subject of
sources and manufacture says:
1.-THE principal uses Of industrial al
eohol are illumination, heating, motive
power and the manufacture OF lacquers,
Earnishes, smokeless powder, medicinal
and pharmaceutical preparations, vine
gar and ether. When Industrial alco-
hol is made at price at which it can
compete with petroleum and gasoline,
it doubtless will be preferred for the
purposes above mentioned, because of
ftS greater safety anu more peasant
Odor. Under the present conditions it
is not probable that industrial alcohol
can be offered upon the market at much
less than 40 cents d gallon of 90 per
cent strength
DR.. Wiley expresses the belief, how
ever. that by paying attention to I'M
used sources Of raw material and with
improved methods Of manufacturing
and depaturing this price can be di-
minished.

Southern Exposure.

Little Charlie is the bright son of a
poor downtown family. He goes to
school every day and is a model in his
studies and conduct. but he is much
ashamed that his clothes are not as
good as those of the other boys. His
teacher was explaining the points of the
compass the other day. She said: You
have in front of you the north, on your
right the east, on your left the south.
Charlie, tell me what have you behind
you" Charlie turned crimson and, after
a moments hesitation, said: I've got a
patch on my pants; | knew you'd see
it. I told mamma you would. '-Phila-

All chimneys vibrate says Harper's

at the top is serious matter for any
one at work there during a high wind,
and the job is postponed to a calmer
day.
Lancashire also boasts one of the

is nearly 200 feet high and more than
six feet out Of plumb. 1t has been belted
with iron bands and is considered safe.

Ginseng In Missouri,

According to the Missouri experiment
station bulletin, the cultivation of gin
seng for the Chinese market has be-
come an important industry in that
State, Notwithstanding the fact that it
takes five or six years to mature crop.
While the crop IS exceptionally valu-
able, the cultivation Of ginseng has
been found to possess disadvantages
the same as most other cultivated
crops. 1t appears that several fungus
diseases have broken out in the GIN
seng plantations, some of which are
extremely serious and infectious, large
areas often being destroyed in a sin
gle week. However, the particular or
ganisms causing the damage have been
recognized and methods for keeping the
diseases under control have now been
worked out.

Milk Cows.

The Hollanders evidently breed and
feed for milk first of all. That they
succeed is proved by the large milk
yields of their COWS. That large milk
flow, seemingly regardless of butter fat
percentage, pays them is proved by
their prosperity. The dairyman here
thinks it necessary to pay small prices
for dairy COWS that annually yield
from 5000 to 1000 pounds Of milk.
What the financial result to him is, the
wretched records show only too plain
ly. He is the worst-paid farmer in the
land. What could he not do if, instead
Of breeding, buying, feeding and milk
ing cheap cows, he were to breed. feed
and milk COWS of the 1850 to 1860

other Hollanders, with their gigantic
COWS, make money on milk produced
on soil that costs from $500 to $4,000
an acre or rents at from SOC to 5000.
