TEST POTATOES FOR STARCH
Department Of Agriculture Bulletin
Discusses Alcohol Making, Par
ticulary From Spuds.
(By Y. G.. MELVILLE.)

The U. S. department of agriculture
has issued Farmers Bulletin No. 40
on potato culls as o source Of indus
trial alcohol. This bulletin discusses
alcohol making more particularly from
potatoes. The amount of alcohol which
can be made from potatoes depends
upon the amount Of starch which the
tubers contain, just as butter making
depends upon the butter fat in the
milk or cream, says the Rural New
Yorker. Consequently in buying pota-
toes some quality test is required, just
as In the case Of selling milk, the
Babcock test is applied to determine
the amount of butter fat. The test for
potatoes is based on a specific gravity.
AS is known starch is heavier than wa
ter and will sink to the bottom and the
sample starch test is based on the dis
lance which the starch will fall in a
volume Of water The instrument
shown in the illustration is used.

top Of this bracing to permit work
man to stand upon same, as may often
be required, says the Farm Press.
The upright is solidly set into the
bracing platform and the cross piece
or arm fastened to the top of same
with heavy iron rod or pin, thus per
hitting it to swing around as may be
desired. A pulley is placed at each
end of the cross piece, through which
the rope is placed to make the tackle;
as shown in illustration one end is
fastened to the load while a horse
hitched to the opposite end of the
rope will elevate the load, and by
driving to one side swing the load
around to the point you wish. This de-
vice saves a great amount of labor In
stacking and is of great value in ex-
cavating for wells, cellars, etc.

PopuIarizinq the Potato.

Paris.-When potatoes were intro
duced into France the natives had
been told they were poisonous and
that it was death to partake of them.
To overcome this prejudice Par
mentier gave a big banquet in Paris.
at which every dish was made from
notatoes. There were Is courses in
which potatoes played the major or
minor part. Even the brandy and
liquors were the product of this vege-
table. King Louis XIII. was among the
guests and gave his host land on
which to cultivate potatoes near
Paris. AS the tubers grew to size
Parmentier posted guards around the
fields by day and withdrew them at
night so that those who lived around
them could steal them at night, eat
the vegetable and thus become con.
WINGED. So, unconsciously, the French
were converted to the dish and never
gave 1t up.

HOW FARMERS ARE ASSISTED
Scientists and inventors Responsible
for Revolution in Farm Methods
in Recent Years.
By r. G. WEATHERSTONE.l

CBy r G. WEATHERSTONEl
Scientists and inventors are respon-
sible for the revolution that has taken
place on the farm during the last few
decades, for they have taught the
farmer lessons of the greatest value.
The inventor has supplied thousands
of useful ideas and labor saving de-
vices, so that the work can be done
more effectively, with greater ease,
and on a bar larger scale than ever
before. He has shown the farmer
how the heaviest work can be done
by mechanical means and haze worked
out plans for obtaining the necessary
power from natural sources.
The scientist has shown that the
soil is a wonder world, the mysteries
of which are only partially mastered.
The mastery Of the problems of the
soil presents one of the best fields
for activities Of psychologists of the
present day, who are hard at work in
the interests Of humanity. The men
engaged in this work include some of
the best of modern scientists.
The scientist shows exactly what Is
lacking in a soil, and indicates what
must be supplied in order to obtain
proper results.
New fruits and flowers are being
introduced by explorers in govern
ment as we'll as private employ, and
some of the innovations have proved
to be of great value. Some of the
staple crops now grown in the middle
west were unknown except to scien
lists only few years ago.
The inventor Of the present bee
hive and its wonderful appliances
made a new industry possible, fol
without it, the modern apiaries, repre-
senting the investment of millions o.
/ dollars, never could have been de
veloped.

Gently without issue at the age OF
tWenty-four.
AS late as 1877 what is now known
to have been the last nesting place
of these wild birds was found in the
state of Michigan, where their nests
thickIy covered the trees over an
area % miles long and four miles
wide. Residents Of New York declare
that in 1850 they flocked over Manhat
tan Island in such numbers that they
obscured the sun and that ships load
ed in bulk with the bodies of these
birds lay at the wharves selling them
at a cent apiece. Audubon is quoted
pigeons in Kentucky early in the last
century that extended 40 miles and
was three miles in width. On it's
edges men with guns, nets, clubs and
torches slaughtered the roosting
birds, each often bagging 500 in one
day
Declaring that practically all the
gulIs and terms in America today have
survived solely through the work of
protection and restoration at their
reservations, leaders of the National
Association of Audubon societies are
now appealing to the people of this
country to support the work of pre-
serving dying species of native birds
which they have already begun. The
Upland Plover, Cabot's Tern and the
Least Tern, they assert, can now be
saved to the nation by quick emergen-
CIV measures for which specia. funds
are to be raised.

Joe Denton, who Is 10 serve five years at hard labor in the state pen- itentlary under two charges of grand larceny, will be removed on the first train this morning to Little Rock to begin his service. Deputy Sheriff Hinton will take charge of the pri- soner.
 Sheriff Webb wanted to take Den ton over last night, and would have done so, but there is a legal proyis- sion which prohibited him from re- ceiying sentence for a stated period. which did not expire until about z o'clock last night, and which would have been too late to transport him.
 Demon refused to waive his rights under the legal teehnicality, unless the court would agree that he could remain until this morning and be ac- companied to Little Rock by his brother in law. and therefore was not sentenced until o'clock
 Sheriff Webb said yesterday: We are rather in a hurry to dispose of Denton because have had to keep one special deputy in the jail each night wihh him, and MT. Hinton and myself both keep d continual guard personally about the jail Denton will not be given any chance Of escape. "
 Denton was sentenced to four years under a conviction by a jury on one charge of grand larceny, anu then entered a plea of guilty under another and received a sentence ol one year on that charge. There was a charge of petty larceny against him which was dismissed under the compromise that he plead guilty ou l the other charge of grand larceny.
