No Profit in Farm Alcohol.

The Department of Agriculture,
through DIR. 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.. 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
liable, and because of revenue regula-
tons 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:
THE principal uses of industrial al
cohol are illumination, heating motive
power and the manufacture of lacquers,
yarnishes, smokeless powder. medicinal
and pharmaceutical preparations, vine
gar and ether. When Industrial alco-
hol is made at a price at which it can
with petroleum and gasoline,
it doubtless will be preferred for the
purposes above mentioned, because of
its greater safety and more pleasant
Odor. Under the present conditions it
is not probable that industrial alcohol
can be offered upon the market at much
less than 40 cents gallon of 90 per
cent strength"
DR. Wiley expresses the belief, how
ever, that by paying attention to I'M
lSed sources of raw material and with |
improved methods of manufacturing |
md denaturing this price can be di-
niniShed.

The richness of Acheen in gold is now thing of the past. About three centuries ago the metal was so plenti- ful there that travellers and historians made special mention of the fact, and Sultans are credited with having ac- cumulated large quantities of the ore. But the mines have been worked out, although number of natives continue making living out of the industry by working river sand. The Dutch au- thorities in Acheen thought at first that the mines could be developed into a source of revenue, and sent out pros pecting parties to the district of Woy- la, which was reputed to abound in gold. The people were so hostile that the prospectors had to be guarded by armed escorts. The searchers found that the rivers of WOyla did contain gold but that it would not pay to work the finds by modern methods.- Mining World.
