RESUME OF
June WEATHER
aanth Was Cool, With More
Than Average Rainfall,
Good for Crops

The month of June just past was one
of the coolest known since the estab-
lishment of the United States weather
bureau in this place in 1901. The av-
erage temperture was Ga, the same as
last season, and the least of any other
year since the June of 1901, when the
average was one degree less.
The highest temperature was SO on
the Goth and the lowest AZ on the 18th
of the month. The hottest day of June
in the seven years was SO and the
coolest SO. The present June is cooler
by an average daily temperature of Is
degrees than the average for the past
seven years, and the year 1907 to date
is cooler by an accumulation of 405
degrees than the average in seven
years or cooler by an average of %
degrees daily.
The total precipitation for the month
was 1.4S inches and the greatest in any
one "a hours was AS inches. With
the exception of the years 1904 and
1905 this has been the wettest June
In the seven years. The average rain
fall for this time has been 1.36 inches.
The excess moisture to date for the
present year is 1.12 inches.
The prevailing wind movement has
been from the east and the total wind
movement ALA miles, an average
hourly velocity of 81 miles and a max
imum velocity on the 2Sth of 80 miles
an hour. There were seven clear days,
seven partly clear and 16 cloudy days,
of the latter IL produced as much as
.01 inches of rainfall and three others
produced a trace.

OXFORD NEEDS MONEY,
University Now Too Poor to Supply
Proper Training in Some Fields.

Ihc first public act Of Lord Curzon as
chancellor of the University of OyIord
was the publication Of an appeal asking
for 81 100000 to meet the pressing needs
of the university, among which he euum-
crates the promotion OF modern and
scientific studies and the maintenance of
the BOdeian library.
In many departments of science, he de
clares, Oxford is unable for want of nee
essary funds and appliances, to support
Il scientific basis for practical work. and
an electrical laboratory and provision for
giving scientific training for the practical
profession of engineering are greatly

To Americans it would seem as if this
appeal from an institution so venerable,

not only with English scholarship, but
with English literature and English his

Making Denatured Alcohol.

When the farmer comes to make de-
natured alcohol on his own place he
will find that the expense Of fitting up
his distillery will amount to something.
The picture herewith shows the large
vat in which the mash IS prepared in a
large distillery. The farmer can, Of
course, use very simple appliances, but
denatured alcohol cannot be produced
without the proper tanks, watts, pipes
and other arrangements. In the large
watts the stirring is done by machinery
which of course would be much too eX-
pensive for the average farmer. 1t has
been suggested that farmers form small
associations and establish Il distillery
at a central point, to which farmers
can bring their material to be made
into alcohol.
Farmers should not be too sanguine
over the prospect for immediate profit
in manufacturing denatured alcohol 1t
home. 1t must be understood that farm
ers' stills would tend to curtal the
business of the great whisky trust and
reduce the profits. 1t is not reasonable,
therefore. to believe that it Will allow
the farmers to make alcohol If it can
prevent it by fair or unfair means.
The trust in the last session Of Con-
gress sought to emasculate the farm
ers' alcohol bill by imposing reStric-
tons that would render it impossible
for farmers to engage in business The

Electric Eipcniug of Fruit.

Ripenng fruit by electricity is one
of the latest achievements of science.
The experiment WAS tried by an Eng
liSh electrical expert, who found that
he could reproduce the effect of the
tropical suns rays without the slight
est difficulty. The ripening experiments
have been tried for the most part with
bananas.
When lunches Of the green fruit ar
rive in England they are put in an air
tight case made entirely of glass. In
side this case is supplied with a nun
Der Of electric lights which can be
turned on and off in any number at
will. 1t has been discovered that the
haianas ripen according to the amount
Of rays shed on them The expert has
made tests so that now he can ripcn
bananas at any time he wants lust bv
regulating the lights. This is an i'm
menSc advantage over the ordinary
method Of ripcuag.
Bananas are cut and shipped when
quite green, but Of full size. 1t is cr-
roneously believed by those who havo
never been in banana raising lands shat
there the fruit IS allowed to ripcn on
the tree. This Is not the case. Bananas
are picked green and hung up to ripcn
just as they arr treated in the north.

Cost of Hauling Crops.

The information contained in a bul.
letin issued by the United States De
partment of Agriculture was secured
from correspondents in 1,S94 counties
in different States. The statistics deal
particularly with tweny-three of the
staple agricultural products grown in
the United States. and embrace the
number Of counties reporting, average
miles Of shipping weight per load, cost
per ton per mile, etc
In a summary Of these data the au-
thor says: "The average costs per 100
lbs for hauling products from farms
to shipping points vary in a number of
instances roughly with the relative
values Of the articles hauled. the more
valuable product being hauled often at
greater cost than the less valuable
product. Corn, wheat, oats, hay and
potatoes were hauled at costs ranging
from to 0 cents per 100 lbs. cotton
1G cents, and wool cost only 10 cents
per 100 lbs to be hauled from farms
The difference Of cost in hauling be
tween one product and another is
largely due 10 the relative distance
traversed and the relative size of load
taken
Statistics are also presented and dis
cuSsed regarding the farmers longest
hauls and methods Of hauling, with the
effect of these factors on local and gen
eral prices. The quantity OF farm
produce hauled in 10000 IS estimated
at more than 100000 tons. and the
cost of hauling at about SS4,GS4, 600

ed. The value of better roads quicker

other factors are also discussed in
their bearing Oh the reduction in the
cost of hauling

tation in different parts of the United
