Underground Water in Arkansas

A report of the United States Geolo-
gical Survey deals briefly with the gen
eral geology of Eastern Colorado, and
in detail with the geology and under
ground waters of the Arkansas Valley
region.
The principal water-bearing forlaa-
tion of this region is the Dakota"
sandstone, but waters also occur ex-
ten'lvely In the alluval deposits along
the valleys, In the sands and gravels
mantijng parts of the upland east Of
the mountains, and In the sandstones
of the Fox Hills, Laramie, and over
lying formations. Smaller amounts,
mostly of bad quality, occur in the RED
Beds"
The quantity of water available from
the Dakota" sandstone In Eastern Col
orado Is variable, and In portions of
the region has been found inadequate.
AS rule the pressure is too low to
sustain a vigorous flow. The largest
volume of water has been obtained from
wells at ROCKFORD. In some districts
the quality of the water is satisfactory,
in others the waters are highly charged
with minerals.

for farmers to engage in business. The

TALLY succeeded, and no alcohol will be
made on farms this year or next. In

so framed as to carry out the intention

There Is; however, every prospect that
the manufacturing of denatured alco-
hol will soon assume large proportions
and that farmers will profit by raising
those crops that can be used in the
business.

EIectrtc Ripening OF Fruit.

Ripening 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 punches 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 num-
Der Of electric lights which can be
turned on and Off In any number at
WILL 1t has been discovered that the
bananas ripen according to the amount
of rays shed on them The expert has
made tests so that now he can ripen
bananas at any time he wants Just by
regulating the lights. This Is an i'm
mense advantage over the ordinary
method of ripenlng.
Bananas are cut and shipped when
quite green, but of full size. 1t is err
roneously believed by those who have
never been in banana raising lands that
there the fruit is allowed to ripen on
the tree. This Is not the case. Bananas
are picked green and hung up to ripen
just as they are treated In the north.

cost OF HanIIng Crop..

The information contained In a bull
letin issued by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture was secured
from correspondents In 1894 counties
In different States. The statistics deal
particularly with twenty-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 summary of these data the au-
thor says: "The average costs p 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 Z to 8 cents per 100 lbs, cotton
10 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 to 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 $S4, 6S4,000
for the most important crops mention
ed. The value of better roads, quicker
methods Of loading and unloading, and
other factors are also discussed In
their bearing on the reduction in the
cost Of hauling.
Notes from correspondents, regard
ing the conditions of wagon transpor-
tation in different parts Of the United
States, are also appended.

Making Den.tnred Alcohol.

When the farmer comes to make de-
natured alcohol on his own place he
will find that the expense Of fitting up
his distlllery Will amount to something.
The picture herewith shows the large
vat in which the mash is prepared In
large dlstlllery. The farmer can, OF
course, use very simple appliances, but
denatured alcohol cannot be produced
without the proper tanks, vats pipes
and other arrangements. In the large
watts the stirring is done by machinery,
which of course would be much too ex-
pensiye for the average farmer. 1t has
been suggested that farmers form small
associations and establish a distlllery
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 at
home. 1t must be understood that farm
ers' stills would tend to curtall the
business OF the great whisky trust and
reduce the profits. 1t Is not reasonable,
therefore, to believe that 1t will allow
the farmers to make alcohol If 1t can
prevent 1t by fair or unfair means.
