including proper temperature, density,

denaturing Of alcohol and denaturants,
and the use of denatured alcohol for
manufacture and medicines--was dis
cussed by officials of the bureau of
chemistry. The object in view, di.
rectly, has been to determine by prac-
tical demonstration the value of the
various farm products as alcohol pro-
ducers-to determine the feasibility Of
the farmers utilizing by-products and
unmarketable fruits and vegetables in
the production of denatured alcohol
All material used at the distillery was
bought in the open market by DR..
Wiley personally in order that he
might observe its condition and there
fore be the better informed in sum-
ming up the results. He also person
ally superintended the operation of
the plant. At the present time he
and his assistants are engaged in SUM
ming up the results Of the experiment
tat1on. The exact proportion of alco-
hol produced by various vegetables
Will be discussed at length in a re-
port; as also will be the primary or
necessary cost OF production. While
it is impossible to learn at this time
the conclusions of the officials, it may
be said in a general way that the al
cohol can be distilled from refuse and
unmarketable vegetables and farm
products at a cost of from Is to 80
cents gallon.
A feature of the report of DR.. Wiley
will be discussion of the practicable
ty of individual farmers distilling
their own products at a profit; like
wise the feasibility of cooperative
distillation plants in thickly settled
communities.

HIGH RANK FOR DUKE

When the duke of the Ahruzzi returns to Italy
from mountain climbing in India, in the near
future, he will be promoted to the rank of ad-
miral in the Italian navy and put in command of
the naval arsenal in Venice, according to infor-
maticn from naval officials.
These same officials assume that the duke has
given up hope of marrying Miss Katherine Elkins
But in this assumption it seems most probable
that the wish is father to the thought. The duke
is as far as ever from being on good terms with
King Victor Emmanuel, Dowager Queen Marghe-
rita and others of his royal relatives who oppose
his marriage to the American girl. Nothing could
prolong the dukes quarrel with his kin but his
continued determination to wed the woman he
loves.

WORLDS BIGGEST FARMER

says Mr.. Rankin, "but they use it for cattle
ranges only Mine is farm" Mr. Rankin nei-
ther raises cattle nor furnishes range. He buys
the raw steers from the plains and fattens them
until they are worth twice what he pays for the
feeders" as they are called. He never sells any
corn, either because by feeding it to cattle, &C.
cording to minute calculation of his own, he
gets more ample returns. Nearly 40 years ago
Mr.. Rankin, then an Illinois farmer, discovered
that land on one side of state line was selling
for $40 an acre. while he might buy any amount
on the other side of the imaginary dividing mark
for less than a third of that amount. But real
