OUR VETERANS.

Back of the pomp and spendor that cothe the
reunion of the Confederate veterans lies a very
simple yet deeply beautiful sentiment. They have
come. these soldiers of the Sixties like gray and be-
loved fathers to the house of their children Not
of them is a stranger within the gates of Macon

hearthstone of the Old South - rekndled, the SAVIOR

down together, the with mellowed thoughts, the
other with reverent aection-the Old South and the
New in their common home.
1t is the human chords they touch so truly that
make the magic of these Confederate reunions A

glory and the ideal of a conflict of which we remem-

the warriors that taught the world new lessons of
hardihood and love of native land.
Atlanta joins with her sister city, Macon, who is
proving so gracious hostess, and with the entire
state in welcoming the gray veterans thousand
times over. Their presence is an honor and bless

Such is the fame which placid Californian

recently earned.
Ar. Plump has taken seven and twenty years to
cross the continent
We hail his achievement truly marvellous

In these strenuous times anybody can hurry
but how rare is the mortal who can proceed with
elaboration.
Brother Plump is evidently deliberate Divers
men, some with leg. others in whee;5arrows or

THE FLOOD SUFFERERS

Atlanta has responded with characteristic gen.
erosity to The Journals appeal for aid in behalf of
the flood sufferers of Mississippi and louisiana By
Friday afternoon subscriptions amounting to more
than thousand dollars had been made. Every cent
of this money will do its part in relieving the dis
tress and pitiable want of southern neighbors.
1t should be noted, however, that the tragedy of
the situation in the Mississippi valley continues to
grow. Authentic press reports show that thousands
of families destitute, lacking even the bare es-
sentias of subsistence
The misfortune is not one that can be mastered or
relieved within few days few weeks. 1t will
prolong itself through months to come. Therefore
the need of continued and general aid is imperative
All Georgia and all the South should join in helping
these, their people.

IMPORTED CIGARS FROM THE
PHILIPPINES.
(POcatello Tribune.

Fred Murphey, the wholesale and
retail cigar man of this city, who
conducts branch retail stores at Boise
Blackfoot and Idaho Falls, this morn
ing received the first shipment of 100
900 imported Manila cigars and Gig
arettes. The goods are of the very
highest grade and are bound to be-
come popular. Being admitted duty
free into this country, they sell at re-
markably low prices, considering the
high quality of the goods. Other ship
ments will be received every thirty
days by Mr.. Murphey until the full
shipment of 100000 has been receiv-
ed.
Manila cigars were first admitted
into this country, duty free, Sept,
1909 under an act of congress known
as the Payne bill. The amount to be
imported free of duty is limited to
150, 90 1000 per annum, after which
there is a duty of $3.50 per pound
and % per cent ad valorem. The tob-
acco is grown in what is known as
the Cayagan valley.
Factories are strictly under the su-
pervision of the United States gov
eminent. Each box is stamped by an
inspector guaranteeing quality of the
leaf, and the brand to be standard be-
fore leaving the factory.
Operators are native Filipinos. Fac
tories are owned by both natives and
Europeans. Some of the largest cigar
factories in the world are in Manila
employing as many as 5000 workmen,
Tobacco experts claim that Manila
tobacco contains less nicotine than
any other tobacco grown, thereby
making the smoking of same less in
furious than Havana, Porto Rico, or
even domestic cigars. #
1t was in Blackfoot that Mr. Muir
phey started in business, and his
friends here are glad to witness the
steady growth of his enterprises, for
it is by sheer enterprise that he gets
hold of good things and pushes them
to success.

A FEW PRINCIPLES OF VINEGAR
MAKING.

Vinegar results from the fermen-
tation of alcoholic solution and can
only take place when the acetic or
ganisms are present and the supply
of oxygen is abundant.
Alchol may be oxidized by purely
chemical means, but this is not the
usual and simple method employed in
common practice. These organisms
responsible for the acetic fermenta-
ton are widely distributed in nature,
and will practically always appear II
such substances as wine and cider
are exposed to the air at warm tenn
perature. Their presence is mani
tested by the appearance of white
scum covering the surface of the liq-
uid or the development of stringy
mass in the bottom. This latter
growth is commonly called the
mother of vinegar"
The temperature at which these
vinegar germs work is from 50 to IS
degrees. A temperature of IS de-
grees will practically prohibit their
development and the consequent for
nation of acetic aid or vinegar, an 1
at a temperature much below 80 their
action is so much below that little
fermentation results.
Free access of oxygen or air is alb
solutely necessary. 1t is a mistake
to fill a. barrel full of cider and ex-
pect good vinegar to result.
The barrel should be but half fill
ed and bung hole opened immed-
lately above the liquid on one side
and another near the top on the OPP
posite side. In this way free cir
culation of air is assured.
Solutions containing more than
about IA per. cent of alchol will not
allow the vinegar organisms to work
Sometimes cases will arise where
the germs are not present. In that
case a small amount of old vinegar
can be added to the cider or wine as
a starter.
The fermentation will not take
place in a day, but requires from
three to six weeks to produce the pro-
per per cent of acetic acid to insure
first class product,
The alcoholic solution used such as
cider or wine determines the flavors
and colors of the vinegar. The germs
producing the acetic acid are only
concerned in the production of acetic
acid from the alchol.
There is no need of adding sugar
to the solutions from which vinegar
is to be made for the power of these
germs to work on sugar is very
slight if present at all. During al
cholic fermentation the sugars are
used, but during the acetic fermen-
tation it is principally the alchol that
is converted into the acetic acid OF
vinegar.

Flowing is at best the hardest work
our farm horses have to perform. Few
pillow teams are not doing ten to
thirty per cent of unnecessary work.
The writer has seen plows which he
believed were pulling fifty per cent
harder than they should.
We are told that about fifty per
cent of the draft of pillow is due to
the cutting of the furrow slice. The
condition of the cutting edge must
then be of first importance. Expert
plowmen recognize this and in COM
petitions file their shares to knife
edges. One authority claims that an
old share re-sharpened has shown
thirty six percent heavier draft than
a new share. Again, engine plows
of the same make and size have under
the same conditions showed of fourty-
five per cent difference is draft in IA
vor of the new freshly filed shares
over re-sharpened shares in ordinary
condition. 1t will certainly pay to
keep the pillow shares sharp and in
proper form.
The set and adjustment of plow
is almost as much to do with the
draft as condition of the share. A
riding plow with rear furrow wheel
should pull little or no harder than
walking pillow or plows of the
same widths. Yet how many do it?
About thirty percent of the draft
of a walking pillow is uue to the
friction of the pillow on the bottom
and side of the furrow. In the rid
ing plow this friction is eliminated
by carrying the weight and down
and side pressure of pillow bottom on
wheels. To accomplish this the rear
furrow wheel is set out about an
inch and quarter SO the lanside
CdHuOC IOuCH Tie SLUG Ol luNoW.
This wheel is also set down SO the
heel of Landslide is raised one-half
to three fourths inches off bottom
Of furrow. When so set the pillow
bottom will sink into the ground
and hang there. When plow bot
toms float" in the frame none of
the. bottom and side pressure is re-
moved and the draft of the bottom
is the same as that of walking plows
to which must be added that due to
weight of plow frame and driver.
