(hcnp Fuel Alcohol.

Denaturizcd alcohol will probably be
come another great product OF the
southern states. 1t is claimed mat cot
tonsccd Oil machinery is perfectly
adapted to making industrial alcohol
from the potato. If this is successfully
proven, the many c~OttOnS@ed OIL mills
Of the south. which are idle each sum
MGR season for lack Of material, will be
able to operate all the time and keep
their employees together. Furthermore,
being already equipped with the ma
chincry, they will, no doubt, be Die to
manufacture the alcohol very cheaply.
Farmers would also be benefited by the
immense demand for potatoes that
would result. In Cuba alcohol is pro-
duced and sold from twelve to fifteen
cents a gallon. and it is said to make
an excellent fuel for running engines.
1t produces no SCOT or disagreeable
Ouors. When the law recently passed
by congress to denaturiZc alcohol in
the United States becomes operative it
is expected greatly to increase the use
OF the article both for fuel! and other
purposes.

One Of the achievements of modern
poultry keeping is that of forcing a hen
to doff her old coat, and grow a new
one before the time when she would
do so naturally. Many hens shed their
feathers so late i'll the season, natural
w.. that cold weather OvertakeS them
before they get new suits, consequently
the, seldom begin laying before spring.
If the moult can be fastened SO that
a new coat Of feathers IS grown and
the laying can be started before cold
weather, the prospect is good for a
supply Of eggs during fall and winter.
The result IS usually accomplished
by cutting off all meat and mash foods,
putting the hens on short rations Of
grain for a week or so to stop the lay
ing, then allow more liberty and feed a
full ration high in protein. This loosens
the old feathers, which drop off quickly
and starts q rapid growth Of the new.
A liberal allowance Of beef scrap is
essential, and linseed meal is an advan-
tago. Sunfowcr seeds are also good
during the moult.

t:s:tl!::s:: Cream.

The establishment Of creamerieS has
done much to put the dairy business
on a stable and profitable basis, as we'll
as ~ provide consumer with a uni
form quality Of good butter. The in
PRODUCTION of the hand separator, by
enabling the farmer to feed skim-milll
in prime condition and minimizing
transportation expense, has also done
much for the business. This has not
been without a drawback, however, in
that the separated cream is not always
kept under proper conditions, II that
delivered to the creameriCs differs
greatly in quality. When all are paid
the same rate for butter fat there is
40 incentive to careful preservation Of
the cream. At the experiment station,
Manhattan. Kan, a system Of grading
cream was adopted about two years
ago, the prices paid varying with the
quality Of the cream. This has resulted
in great improvement in the cream de-
livered and enables the butter maker
to do his part better. Bulletin No. 1876,
"Grading Crcam,' treats Of this sub
ject, and can be obtained by addressing
the station as above.
