Alcohol on the Farm.

The following editorial from the
Tribune Farmer, gives all that is
known Of the status of the farmer as
regards the making of denatured al
cohol:
One of the most important pieces
of legislation by Congress at the last
session was the adoption OF Senator
Hansbrough's amendments to the free,
alcohol law. Many supporters of the
original measure had expected that it
would enable the farmer to manufac-
ture small quantities of spirits for use
in running a portion of his machinery.
To some agriculturists that privilege
would be more welcome than any in
creased demand for their corn by
wholesale distillers. When, therefore,
it was discovered that the proper pro-
vision had not been made the Senator
from North Dakota took the lead in a
movement to correct the oversight
and was entirely successful. The new
law does not go into effect until next
September, but it will then be permits
sible for anybody who complies with
regulations which the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue is required to is
sue to distil on his own premises a
quantity of alcohol not exceeding a
hundred gallons (about two barrels)
daily 1t does not matter how little
he produces or how much of the time
his still stands idle The all important
thing is not to exceed the prescribed
limit in an interval of twenty-four
hours.
Before availing himself of the op-
portunity, soon to be open to him the
farmer will need to obtain a variety
Of information. For some of this he
must look to the head Of the Internal
Revenue Bureau. Mr.. Yerkes alone
can tell him how large bond he must
give to guarantee the government
against fraud, what kind of storage
tank will meet with the approval Of
the government, how often and under
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-04-03

what circumstances the attendance of
an Inspector can be secured to release
the product from the tank, and what
sort of poison and how much must be
added to the alcohol in order to make
it available for use and exempt from
tax. Certain other facts-the price of
denaturing substances, for instance,
and the difference between grain Cor
ethyl alcohol and wood Cor methyD
alcohol any intelligent farmer can
ascertain for himself. Even then.
however, it will be injudicious to go
ahead without suitable instruction in
regard to methods and materials.
Practically all kinds of vegetation, in
Guiding such unpromising articles as
sawdust and dry chips, can by suit
able treatment be made to yield ethyl
alcohol, but in most cases the quaint
ty would be too small to pay. Be
sides, what might be an economical
source in one region might prove
wastefully expensive elsewhere.
Without helpful guidance in the
choice Of materials, therefore, need
lessly disheartening mistakes may be
made.
Foreseeing this possibility, Mr..
Hansbrough has suggested to the Sec
Rotary Of Agriculture that a circular
be prepared for the enlightenment Of
such farmers as wish to attempt dis,
tillatlon. The plan is an excellent
one. The Senator from North Da-
kota is doubtless aware that docu-
ments relating to the subject have al
ready been issued under Secretary Will
sons's auspices, but he may think that
they are so voluminous as to be con-
fusing to the novice Other men en-
terrain that opinion, at any rate, and
have wished for more succinct pre-
sentation of the matter and for some
thing more specific in the way of ad-
vice 1t is thought probable that the

IRENE cold weather in the east and
west recently, where people were
burning their fences and barns to keep
from freezing to death, and here in
South Florida we have only had one
cold spell, where the thermorh eter
showed 20 above, but if we had the
cold weather the whole state is C. over
ed with timber and farmers have to
burn fine pine trees to clear up the
land for planting. I could not help
thinking why it was that people ould
stay IN country where they were
liable to be frozen when they could
come to a country where they dou1d
enjoy pleasant weather and ma Ee a
better living with less labor.
Now for the possibilities. I saw
alfalfa growing in Colorado last sum

Florida, only it was on irrigated land
talked to number Of farmers, who
told me they were making none y by
growing alfalfa. They cut it three
times in one season, and sold it for S.
per ton, and fattened their hogs, cat
tie and poultry on what they did not
sell. Thel told me they paid $500 per
acre after it was irrigated. Let IL see
how that compares with this State
You can get good land here for $40
per acre, and if it needs irriga ling,
you can get gasoline engine and
pump the water from the creeks or
you can get flowing wells from 100
to 800 feet, but we have three mo nths
rainy season sure, and some raj b in
the winter.
We have good markets for afyth hing
that you can raise. Good hay SELLS
for $I6 ito $40 per ton, hogs sell for 6
cents per pound on the hoof, chick
ems for 80 to IS cents, eggs for so to
40 cents per dozen.
| think that alfalfa can be grp own
here successfully to feed the hogs
and chickens, but if it cannot, we
have a dozen different things [ k how
will grow that will make good feed
for hogs and chickens-rice, K fir
corn, COW peas, velvet beans, chtF fas,
peanuts and a number of other thd hgs,
Most of them will grow on Our pP or-
est land, and there is the truck fa rm-
ing of tomatoes, potatoes, egg pld nts,
cabbage, lettuce, celery, beans and
other things. One place expects to
ship 100 carloads of celery this and
next month.

MRS. MCKINLEY IsIDEAD.


Canton, May 27.-Mrs. VIM. Nc
Kinley, widow of the late President,
died at her home here at 1905
O'clock yesterday afternoon.
For many years Mrs. Mckinley had
been an invalid. She recovered from
the shock of her husbands tragic
death, but 1t left its mark, and when
1t was known that she had suffered a
stroke of paralysis, little hope was
felt that she could survive. The end
came peacefully, almost impercept-
IDLY. Mrs. Mckinley never knew of
the efforts made to prolong her life,
or the solicitous hope of her sister
and other relatives and friends for
her recovery.
AT the Mckinley home when death
came there were present Secretary
Cortelyou, Mr.. end Mrs. M. G. Bar
bour. Mrs. Sarah Duncan, Mrs. Luth~
err Day, Justice and Mrs. William r.
Day, Doctors Porteman and Rixey
and the nurses.
Mrs. Mckinley lived longer than
was expected" said the Secretary.
IL was announced last night that
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Loeb will arrive In Canton Wednes-
day morning to attend the funeral
services. Vice President Fairbanks,
who had often been house guest of
the McKinleys, is expected to reach
here In time to attend the funeral
services.
The body of Mrs. Mckinley will be
placed In the vault in West1awn
cemetery, which holds also the re-
mains of her martyred husband, UNI
til the completion of the National

FIVE wORKMEN KILLED.
Bursting Ammonia Pipe Fills Packing
Plant With Deadly Fumes.

Chicago, May 24-Five workmen
were killed and several others SER
iously injured this afternoon when
an ammonia pipe exploded in the
beef-killing department of Armour &
Co.'S plant at the stockyards. The
building was full of workmen at the
time, and the deadly fumes, escaping
from under high pressure, pene-
trated through every department of
the building in such a short time
that 20 of the men we're overcome
before they could make their escape
to the fresh air. All but five of these
men were dragged from the place by
their companions in such a serious
condition that 1t was necessary to
take them to nearby hospital.
An Intellectual effort to search for
dead In the interior of the building
was made by employees wearing safe
ty masks, but they were driven back
by the fumes, and it was not until
six hours after the explosion that the
first body, that of an unidentified
man, burned beyond recognition, was
taken from the fourth floor. A few
minutes later four other bodies were
found, all of them having been
burned in horrible manner.

Refuses TO Interfere In Prosecution
of San Francisco Grafters.
ossp Scheme Is Reported - Calhoun
Said to Be FomentIng Dissens'on
-Confers With Associates on "a
tempt to Gain CompIsts Contro'
In Bay City.

San Francisco, May 23.-Reports
are current that President Calhoun
of the United Railways has engaged
| In deep-laid plot to defeat FRANCIS
| J. Heney, seize the reins OF the mu'
nicipal government under the guise
of law and order movement, and &c
any length In order both to save
himself from conviction and impris-
onment under the charges brought
by the graft prosecution, and to the
advantage of himself In his fight
with the carmen.
Calhoun has been working for sew
eraI days In a desperate effort to
consolidate In aid of this movement
ALI the more important financial in
terests affected by the graft disclos-
ures. Men high In financial circles
were seen going in and out OF his
office throughout the day and 1t Is
alleged that other conferences were
held In the business center OF the
city. 1t Is stated that, foiled In their
attempt to get into touch with the
prosecution, through intervention OF
the Committee of Seven, Calhoun
and his associates, some of whom
know they are fighting to save them
selves from San Quentin, have
planned new stroke by which they
hope to place themselves In control
of affairs to such degree that they
will be able to block the efforts OF
oil
Their scheme as outlined in these
reports, is to form q new committee
as a successor to the one which has
just resigned under fire, which will
be prepared to resort to extreme
measures. Grasping the opportunity
of the carmen's strike and the riots
and disturbances in the streets of the
city, the reported plan is for mass
meeting to be called under the pre-
text of law and order measure.
From this meeting those who have
been active in the graft prosecution
will be excluded on the ground that
they have already refused to have
anything to do with committee
which had been appointed to
straighten out the tangle of munich
pal government.
At this meeting a committee on
law and order will be appointed,
which will go first to Chief of Police
Oman and request his resignation in
the name of the citizens of San Fran
cisco. II Oman refuses to turn over
the control Of the police department
to them the members of this COM
mittee will, it is claimed, immediate
ly declare that the conditions in the
city are so serious that the only solu-
ton is vigilance committee and,
acting as such, they will assume con-
troll of the city. A part of the plan
is alleged to be an attempt to per-
suade the governor to act in concert
with this vigilance committee, using
the Garments strike as an argument
to induce the governor to issue a call
for troops, and possibly to bring
about the Intervention of federal au-
thorities.
