No Profit in Farm Alcohol.

The Department of Agriculture,
through Dr. ii. W. 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.. Wley's discussion of the
subject the conclusion is reached that
the manufacture of alcohol on very
small scale Is not likely to prove prof
liable, and because of revenue regula-
lions 1t Is evident that the farmer must
be content with producing the raw ma
terials. The bulletin on the subject of
sources and manufacture says:
'The principal uses of industrial al
cohol are illumination, heating, motive
power and the manufacture of lacquers,
varnishes, 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
its greater safety and more pleasant
od0r. Under the present conditions 1t
is not probable that Industrial alcohol
can be offered upon the market at much
less than 40 cents IA gallon of 95 per
cent strength"
DR.. Wiley expresses the belief, how.
ever, that by paying attention to un.
used sources of raw material and with
improved methods of manufacturing
and denaturing this price can be di
minlshed

A rise of temperature Of from one

most elevated following bodily fatigue.
Excluding other morbid conditions that
would cause similar elevation Of tenn

IN THE LANDS OF SNOW.
Keeping Warm Is the Main Business
of the People.

Keeping Warm Is the Main Business
of the People.
With the big restless, energetic world
outside of this tropical belt, however,
the matter of keeping warm is ever
present, troublesome and expensive,
throughout half of each passing year
says the National Magazine.
AS matter Of fact, the world of hu-
manity dwelling in stoyeland never has
been, In all the ages, really and COM
fortably warm in winter. 1t is largely
our own fault. Mankind Is the only anil
NAL which employs fire in the effort to
survive the cold of the winters. The
hardy lower animals do not need 1t,
however much their luxurlously ener-
waited representatives, the dog and the
cat, may enjoy it, when they have u
chance.
Ancient man only got himself rid Of
his provident coat of hair and his suffi-
cient latent heat when he began to loaf
around the family cooking stove and alb
sorb the intoxicating comfort of artifi-
cial warmth. This far-away ancestor is
responsible for the fact that the pres
ent-day human being, outside Of the belt
aforesaid, is obliged to keep close to a
thermometer registering nearly or quite
70 degrees Fahrenheit from October to
May, besides which he must needs wear
extra clothing. This, also, is an inher-
tied habit.

According to the Missouri experiment
station bulletin. the cultivation of gin
scng 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 sim
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.

ments of various kinds have been given,
each Of which has added little to the
small fund of the organization, and it
Is now felt that the time has come to
make an actual commencement in the
work. Accordingly State charter was
applied for a few days ago and the Of
fcers are now in search of fat, cen
trally located, capable Of housing about
five Of the families and of low enough
rental to suit their slender means and
strict ideas of economy.
While the association starts off with
five widows families the belief Is that
the plan will succeed and that eventual
ly a large building will be needed to
shelter the members of the association.
But they are persevering in their ef-
forts to find what they need. 1t Is the
purpose of these women to have an en-
ployment bureau Of their own, to give
advice and lend a helping hand in
many ways to those who shall come tn
them, strangers in the ways Of the
world, asking how they can earn an
honest and respectable living. Not only
those who live in the home will benefit
by the great work that is being started.

The period between killing frosts In
Montana is placed at 100 to 120 days,
while the time required for onions TO
mature from seeding is l35 to $50
days, and II onions are not thoroughly
ripe their keeping quality is injured,
according to report prepared by r.
w. Fisher, of the Montana Station.
The experiments are recorded in detail
for each year, and yields given by both
methods of culture.
Generally speaking, the yields from
transplanted onions were from 80 to
2C0 per cent larger than from seed
sown in the field, where there was but
little or no increase in cost of LABOR.
The transplanting insures an even crop,

Ing quality of the onions. Prize raker
gave the largest average yield of the
nineteen varieties grown, and was one
of the best keepers, though not usually
advertised as a winter onion. The seed
ling bulbs of this variety, however,
kept poorly because the growing sea
son was not long enough to properly
mature them. The use of well-rotted
manure increased the yield of both
field-sown and transplanted onions.
Suggestions are included for making
hotbeds.

The Onion MagEot.

The onion maggot and cabbage mag
got can only be distinguished by an
expert, as they are very nearly alike.
The maggot is the larva of a small fly.
There is no known sure" remedy that
can be applied. Sprinkling powdered
sulphur around the plants is a partial
remedy, but it does not always bring
relief. Making small hole near each
onion and pouring into each hole half 4
teaspoonful of bisulphlde Of carbon,
covering the holes with earth, Is claim
ed to be remedy, but such method is
expensive and laborious. Liquid. ma
nure applied to the plants is claimed
to be remedy. The best preventive
Is to grow the onions Oh land that has
not before produced a crop, but of
course such can not be done until next
season. This change of location of the
onion patch is the only partial solution
of the maggot problem.

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 1t 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.

The Egg-Eating Hen.

Some one wants to know how to keep
hens from eating their eggs. Having
had some experience along that line,
offer few suggestions: A deep nest
box, in which there is only room for
the hens body, SO that she cannot get
at the eggs when on the nest, and too
deep for her to reach the eggs when
standing on the edge Of 1t, Is a good
thing. The best nest box 1 have used
is IA inches square and IS Inches deep,
covered with 8-lnch door or opening

PERILoUs RESCUE OF DOG.

English COlliery Manager Lowered
Into Pit to Save Starving Collie.
An interesting story Of the rescue Of
a dog from deep and disused pit shaft
comes from Mealsgate, Cumberland. In
spector Blake Jones, the Cumberland
representative Of the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
was informed that dog had been
thrown down a disused pit shaft near
Mealsgate. On arrival he found that
the shaft Of the pit, which had not
been worked for thirty years, was $40
feet deep, and up to within ninety-one
feet of the surface was full Of water.
The dog could just be discerned on a
rotten wood ledge ninety feet down,
and about foot from the water.
The All Hallows colliery manager,
Mr.. John Walker Steele, had two beams
placed across the pit mouth and pull
ley fixed, and seating himself in a
looped rope he was swung over the
shaft and lowered through overgrow-
ling brambles down into the darkness.
He reached the unlucky dog which was
by this time starved and weak, and,
placing it across his knees, was with
out mishap hauled back to daylight and
safety. Mr.. Steele was given rous.
ing cheer on emerging. The dog, a
collie, is now in Inspector Blake Jones

Points in Pruning,

In pruning the trees all stems half
an inch or more in diameter should be
covered with some waterproof sub
stance, like grating wax or shellac of
the. consistency of cream. The bark
and outer wood will thus be preserved
and the wound will in season or SC
be covered with new bark. If this pre-
caution be not taken the end of the
branch may decay from exposure to
wind, rain, heat and cold.
