Prospects For Denatured Alcohol.

The agricultural papers are Still
printing matter in regard to the max
ing of denatured alcohol Several pa
pers have departments. Floridians may
we'll be interested in this subject, for
NO other state is $40 we'll supplied with
crops from which this form of alcohol
can be made so abundantly and cheap
ly. Among them we may mention cas-
.sava, sweet potatoes, Japanese sugar
cane, etc. An article ON this subject
which we found in the Sugar Planter
is as follows:
At the last session of Congress, that
body, in response to a clamorous popu-
Lar demand, 80 amended the denatured
alcohol law as to bring it's provisions
within easy reach, both Of various
trades and of the farmer. The law will
not go into effect until the first of Sep
TENDER, but meantime a "good ready
will be made, and it is thought that
the changes will reduce the price ait
least 4 cents a gallon-it is now go
cents in Peoria where most of it is
made.
Those who prepared the amendments
giving farmers greater freedom in the
manufa cture of industrial alcohol, are
sanguine in the belief that rapid strides
will be made in the development of the
alcohol trade
One of the amendments enables the
makers of lacquers, enamels and arti-
