ing 5 per cent alcohol, it's condensed
yapor may contain 40 per cent of al
cohol. This second liquid redistilled
may yield a liquor containing so per
cent alcohol; a third distillation may
produce a solution 80 per cent pure,
and so on. The necessity for this re-
distillation and the removal of unde-
sirable impurities has given rise to a
vast variety of complicated apparatus.
Making It in a Small Way.
The foregoing outline, from Ameri-
can Agriculturist, of the process of
manufacturing alcohol, especially the
mention of much and complicated ap-
p%aratus, indicates that for a farmer to
make alcohol from the refuse of his
farm is not so simple a matter as may
at first be thought. As good authority
as DR.. Wiley, chief chemist of the de-
partment of agriculture, has found it
advisatie to warn farmers that it
would hardly prove profitable to un
Gertake the manufacture of alcohol in
Il small way OF the farm. His idea is
that, as central factories are necessary
in the beet sugar industry, SO will cen.
trail distilleries be in making alcohol.

AS TO NEW
SUBSTANCE
DENATURED ALCOHOL AND SOME
THING OF ITS MANUFACTURE
AND USE EXPLAINED.
Product of Decomposition of Glucose
by Action of Ferments, Manufac-
With Best Results-lts General
Use May Come in After Time.

Denatured alcohol is simply the COM
niercial grade of pure alcohol to which
is added wood alcohol or some other
material that makes it entirely unfit
for a beverage or for medicinal pur-
poses. Alcohol is a product of the de-
composition of sugar or, more proper
ly, glucose by the action of ferments,
such as yeast. Any substance which
contains sugar or substance such as
starch, vegetable fiber, etc, which can
be converted into sugar can be used
as a source of alcohol. The most i'm
portant sources used commercially are
grapes, potatoes, beets and other root
crops and grains, especially rye, bar
ley, corn and rice. Many other fruits
besides grapes are used-for example,
apples, peaches and cherries. Fibers
such as cotton, linen and hemp, after
chemical treatment to change the
woody fiber into glucose, have also
been used successfully.
How Made in Commerce.
In commerce the process is simply
an Improvement on the home process
OF making wine from grapes, currauts
or other fruit juices. A vat is filed
with liquid properly warmed, and
yeast is added and stirred. Soon bub-
b.es of carbonic acid gas appear and
gradually increase until the liquid
looks as if it were boiling. In about
t~wenty-four hours the bubbling grad
ually ceases, the liquid becomes clear,
and about forty-eight hours from the
start it is ready for d~istillation. This
di%stillation depends upon the differ
ence in temperature at which alcohol
and water boil, the former requiring
considerably less heat to turn into va
por. 1t also depends upon the conden-
sation of vapor into liquid when the
temperature falls.
Publication Processes.
In practice, with the simple forms
of still, there are always more or less
water and volatile substances, such as
essential oils and acetic acid, present
in the condensed product, which must
therefore be purified by other pro-
cesses. The most common of these
processes is successive distillation, the
liquid resulting from the first distiI-
lation being again and again distilled
until the produce is pure. Thus, to
give a theoretical example, starting
with an original crude liquid contain
