COMMISSIONERS BRIGHAM
Paper Thinks Well of Head of Yer
mont Agricultural Department..

Under the caption, "The Right Man
in Right Place" the New England
Homestead prints the following ap-
preciative article in lis current Issue:
AS seasons come and 80, Vermont
is better appreciatlng how fortunate
it is III having f. s. Brigham as its
commissioner of agriculture Back
in the spring of 1913. when announc-
ing his appointment, the Homestead
referred to Mr.. Brigham as the best
farmer in all Vermont" This was a
fulsome Endorsement. but Mr.. Brig
ham, in his practical ideas, executed
in a quite, forceful way. his been liy.
ing up to that Introduction. AS is gen
orally known. he made marked sue
cess on his own farm before attempt
ing to advise the public generally.
Brigham and profitable crons of pota-
toes and beans are synonymous in
the Green Mountain state.
AS many farmers know TO their sor.
row, it is one thing to- grew fine
crop and quite another to secure a
reasonable price therefor. Long be-
fore lie was commissioner Mr.. Brig
ham was dissatisfied with the prices
offered him for his potatoes, so he
worked up seed trade and since
then has annually sent large quantit-
les south. This trade has grown so
he cannot begin to raise enough upon
his own farm to supply the demand,
and others have been turned over to
other reliable growers in the state.
Several in the Windsor County I'M
provement League have thus market
ed their CROP
There isenothing spectacular about
anything Mr. Brigham does, but once
he engages upon line of work it is
seldom necessary to retrace steps
through faulty judgment at the start
He is not trying to turn Vermont az
riculture upside down overnight but
is slowly and surely keeping the de.
partment work headed along practical
lines which mean bread and butter to
the farmers of the state.
Not once has the editor ever heard
his name connected with politics.
The truth is he did not seek the COM
missionership and in accepting the
job at the start no strings went with
it. Even the change in the state adj
did not effect his retain

stead of the man seeking the job. 1t
is not unusual for this to be true for
a first appointment, but once man
gets such a state berth, human ma
ture seems to be such that there is a
horrible temptation to hang on, even
though it is necessary to play politics
to do it.

A DEFINITE SEPARATION

''It has been found in practice that a
very positive separation can be made
between metals after passing through
the fiotation process. The oiled sulp-
hides produce very distinct zone lines on
the tables, due to the oiled surface of
the sulphides moving more freely.
The Callow type consists of rec
tangular box from 3 to 4 feet deep, con
tanning specially designed air cham
ber at the bottom. This is covered with
canvass and air is forced through the
meshes of the cloth to convey the oiled
sulphides to the surface; the unfinished
material is conveyed to the second box
for cleaning. This type of oil flotation
machine is very simple, as there is no
moving mechanism to mix the oil and
air. A small Pachuca tank is used for
this purpose. A Root pressure blower
or cir compressor is used in connection
with this machine.

A description of the Fields flotation
process which is being installed at the
Ohio Copper Company's mill in Utah,
has reached Denver. In this process
concentrates and electrolytic are pro
duced. The crushed ore or tailings
are placed in a cell with water, to which
little sulpuric has been added, and
agitated by air under 80 to 75 tons pres
sure. Electric current at from 10 to 2
volts and amperes, depending on the
size of the cell. is passed through the
solution between copper electrodes.
The current breaks down the water in
to hydrogen and oxygen. and these gases
assist in the fotation of the sulphide
particle. which are skinned off. The
oxidized portion of the ore is dissolved
and deposited as electrolytic copper.
