To the local branch of large corpora
ton there came an English capitalist and
business man to inspect the local plant,
and "feel the local pulse" as it were. He
was interested in the concern from a pro-
prietary point-o -of-view having large
sum invested in the property. Mr.. Hamil-
ton, the city editor, got wind of his visit
about seven o'clock one evening and called
me by phone instructing me to proceed to
his (the Englishman's) hotel for an in
terview,-at the same Harvey House, of

MAYHEM we think OF Sulphuric acid
w we naturally think of sulphur and
wonder where it comes from. Most
of our sulphur comes from deep under the
ground and sometimes very near the sur
face. When near the surface it is dug
like coal, but when it is deep we must use
other methods. | have in mind at this
writing the sulphur fields of Louisiana. Our
first thought, on visiting one of these sui
phur fields or districts, is that it looks
much like an oil field. for there we find
steam boilers, pumps, derricks, rigs and
many other instruments for going after the
sulphur.
In order to get the sui phur out of the
ground we must first drill WELL These
wells are several hundred feet deep and
generally twelve to eighteen inches in
diameter. When the well is deep enough
that the drill brings up Sulphur layer, it
(the drill) is raised and the casing Ga
pipe about twelve inches in diameter) is
lowered. Inside of this casing a steam
lowered, the first piece has a nozzle on the
end to spread the steam and for the next
twenty feet it has spiral hange like a
carpenters bit After the steam pipe is
let down to the sulphur layer the steam is
turned on while the steam mets the sui
phur thc pipe is kept spinning around
nd he h. Il
the surface AS the sulphur reaches the
surface it is conveyed away sometimes
several hundred feet. This conveyor is
run by a large cable. The sulphur is
deposited in large piles or mounds, they
look like yellow hills and mountains
After cooling, the sulphur is broken up
into small Jumps and loaded into coal
cars and hauled to the acid plant. The
acid plants are usually large buildings and
cover several acres. From the coal cars it
is carried by small cable cars to the ''burn-
ing pits" These burning pits are large
ovens about fifteen feet in diameter, round
and shaped like an Esquimo hut. They
are built of fire clay and have three
openings. First is the fire box, it is six
inches square. Second is the sulphur trap
with spring door that opens inward and
is twelve inches in diameter, it is near the
top of the oven. Third the vapor outlet
is round, about three feet in diameter
and has tile piping leading away for about
ten feet
Oil is the fuel. 1t is used with steam.
The steam pipe comes up on the left side
of the fire box while the oil comes up on
the right side of the fire box. They are
both joined together like shower bath
has its hot and cold water joined. There
are valves on both oil and steam pipes 30
that they can be mixed. To start the fire
large piece of waste is dipped in oil,
set afre and thrown into the fire box.
Then the oil is let in and when the fire
gets started the steam valve is opened to
give pressure to the fire and causes high
heat. When the fire is good and hot the
sulphur is dumped into the trap door. The
sulphur is packed into the hole continually
for it cannot be left alone for more than
five minutes. The sulphur burns fast as
it comes in contact with the fire.
There are no ashes or smoke, the sui
phur changes to vapor and page 4, COL y

PROVIDE PLENTY OF WATER
Cows Must Have Abundant Supply in
Summer and Winter for Profit
able Milk Production.

Successful dairy farmers find that
1t pays to provide plenty Of good
clean, cool water for milk cows
Eighty-seven per cent Of milk is wa
ter, as Is nearly three-fourths of n
cows body. Experimental data show
that the amount of water required by
cows is in direct proportion to the
amount Of milk produced. In the
summer, the average cow will require
nearly three pounds of water for ev'
cry pound of milk she produces. In
one experiment cow giving u pounds
OF milk drank II pounds Of water
daily. The same cow drank less than
half as much when giving no milk.
In all cases, 1t is decidedly good prac-
tice to provide an abundance Of clean,
fresh water, cool in the summer and
warm in the winter.
