Xo Profit in Farm Alcohol.
The Department of Agriculture ,
through Dr. n. W. Wiley , chief of the
bureau of chemistry , has undertaken
to educate the farmers regarding the
manufacture of denatured alcohol. Two
bulletins on the subject have been is
sued.
From Dr. Wiley's discussion of the
subject the conclusion is reached that
the manufacture of alcohol on a very
small scale Is not likely to prove prof
itable , and because of revenue regula
tions it is evident tbat the faivner must
be content with producing the raw ma
terials. The bulletin on the subject of
sources and manufacture says :
"The principal uses of industrial al
cohol are illumination , heating , motive
.power . and the manufacture of lacquers ,
varnishes , smokeless powder , medicinal
and pharmaceutical preparations , vine
gar and ether. When industrial alco
hol is made at a price at which it can
compete with petroleum and gasoline ,
it doubtless will be preferred for the
purposes above mentioned , because of
Its greater safety and more pleasant
odor. Under the present conditions it
is not probable that industrial alcohol
can be offered upon the market at much
less than 40 cents a gallon of 95 per
cent strength. "
Dr. Wiley expresses the belief , how
ever , that by paying attention to un
used sources of raw material and with
improved methods of manufacturing
and denaturing this price can be di
minished.
Millc Cows.
The Hollanders evidently breed and
feed for milk first of all. That they
succeed is proved by the large milk
yields of their cows. That large milk
flow , seemingly regardless of butter-fat
percentage , pays them is proved by
their prosperity. The dairyman here
thinks it necessary to pay small prices
for dairy cows that annually yield
from 3,000 to 4,000 pounds of milk.
What the financial result to him is , the
wretched records show only too plain
ly. He is the worst-paid farmer in the
land. What could he not do if , instead
of breeding , buying , feeding and milk
ing cheap cows , he were to breed , feed
and milk cows of the 11,500 to 14,560
pound class ? The Frieslanders and
other Hollanders , with their gigantic
cows , make money on milk produced
on soil that costs from $500 to $2,000
an acre or rents at from $50 to $200.
GInsengr in Missouri.
According to the Missouri experiment
station bulletin , the cultivation of gin
seng for the Chinese market has be
come an important industry in that
State , notwithstanding the fact that it
takes five or six years to mature a crop.
While the crop is exceptionally valu
able , the cultivation of ginseng has
been found to possess disadvantages
the same as most other cultivated
crops. It appears that several fungus
diseases have broken out in the gin
seng plantations , some of which are
extremely serious and Infectious , large
areas often being destroyed in a sin
gle week. However , the particular or
ganisms causing the damage have been
recognized and methods for keeping the
diseases under control have now been
worked out.
Cattle Lice.
Lice on cattle indicate lack of atten
tion and poor feed. Greass of any
kind will destroy lice on fcaltle , but
grease should not be uxeu it it cau ba
avoided. First wash the animal with j
kerosene emulsion , and follow with
clear water. When the skin is dry
dust every portion of the body with a
mixture of a peck of carbonate of lime
and a bushel of clean , dry dirt. If a
single animal is infested with lice , the
others will soon be in the same condi
tion unless remedies are used as pre
ventives.
Onion Growing- .
The period between killing frosts in
Montana is placed at 100 to 120 days ,
while the time required for onions to
mature from seeding is JL35 to 150
days , and it onions are not thoroughly
ripe their keeping quality is injured ,
according to a report prepared by R.
W. Fisher , of the Montana Station.
, The experiments are recorded in detail
, for each year , and yields given by both
methods of culture.
Generally speaking , the yields from
transplanted onions were from 50 to
200 per cent larger than from seed
sown in the field , where there was but
little or no increase in cost of labor.
The transplanting insures an even crop ,
the maturity of the crop and the keep
ing quality of the onions. Prize Taker
gave the largest average yield of the
nineteen varieties grown , and was one
of the best keepers , though not usually
advertised as a winter onion. The seed
ling bulbs of this variety however ,
kept poorly because the growing sea
son was not long enough to properly
mature them. The use of well-rotted
manure increased the yield of both
field-sown and transplanted onions.
Suggestions are included for making
hotbeds.
The Onion "Maggot.
The onion maggot and cabbage mag
got can only be distinguished by an
expert , as they are very nearly alike.
The maggot is the larva of a small ily.
There is no known "sure" remedy th.-it
can be applied. Sprinkling powdered
sulphur around the plants is a partial
remedy , but it does not always bring
relief. Making a small hole near each
onion and pouring into each hole half : i
teaspoonful of bisulphide of carbon ,
covering the holes with earth , is claim
ed to be a remedy , but such method is
expensive and laborious. Liquid ma
nure applied to the plants is claimed
to be a remedy. The best preventive
is to grow the onions on land that has
not before produced a crop , but of
course such can not be done until next
season. This change oC location of the
onion patch is the only partial solution
of the maggot problem.
Fence Supports.
For fence posts or supports that will
not rot off or break off , for picket or
nine-wire , take two boards 2x0 , cross
at the top so as to leave a crotch for
top wire. Fasten together with S-pen-
ny nails. Put a crosspiece in the mid
dle for middle wires to rest on and
fasten with staple and a crosspiece at
bottom for bottom wires to rest on and
fasten with staple. Then anchor with
a small stake on each side to prevent

wind from tipping over , and you have
a good post for picket fence. Nail or
wire post to the stake. This makes an
excellent post for repairing an old
picket fence. Farm Progress.
Tlie EsrS-Entins : Hen.
Some one wants to know how to keep
hens from eating their eggs. Having
had some experience along that line , I
offer a few suggestions : A deep nest
box , in which there is only room for
the ben's body , so that she cannot get
at the eggs when on the nest , and too
deep for her to reach the eggs when
standing on the edge of it , is a good
thing. The best nest box I have used
is 14 inches square and IS Inches deep ,
covered \vith a 8-inch door or opening
at-the top of one side.
Dust Bath Is Important.
Do not forget the dust bath ; it is a
cheap luxury , and will go far toward
keeping the fowls free from lice and
mites. Any ordinary box obtainable
at the grocer's will answer the pur-
, pose. It must be kept dry , filled with
road dust or garden soil ( which must
be secured in dry weather before
freezing ) , to which should be added
from time to time a liberal allowance
of sulphur. Some use wood ashes in
place of dust.
Studying ; Evaporated Cream.
Thu Massachusetts board of health
has been conducting extended investi
gations as to the composition of the so-
called evaporated creams offered in the
local markets , and has discovered that
most of these are misnomers. Numer
ous determinations show these prod
ucts to be merely unsweetened con
densed milk , which , while possessing
the consistency and appearance of
cream , have neither the taste nor phys
ical characteristics.
Points in Pruning ; .
In pruning the trees all stems half
an inch or more In diameter should be
covered with some waterproof sub
stance , like grafting wax or shellac of
the consistency of cream. The bark
and outer wood will thus be preserved ,
and the wound will in a season or so
be covered with new bark. If this pre
caution be not taken the end of the
branch may decay from exposure to
wind , rain , heat and cold.
In an aggregate of bank
exchanges this week ,
which makes a new high
record , and official statements showing
jains over a year ago in deposits , loans
ind cash resources there'is testimony
to the expansion which is characteris
tic of commerce at this time. Opera
tions indicate that trade generally is
strongly sustained in its unprecedent-
2d volume , and in some respects move
ments of commodities made a further
advance. Colder weather stimulated
an exceptional demand for seasonable
needs in the leading retail lines , and
lobbing branches remain fairly active
in staples , with the buying of holiday
? oods comparing favorably with the
best previous totals. Most of the
heavy deliveries in textiles , footwear ,
furniture and hardware are over , but
there is muck buying of food products.
Except an advance in cost of steel
plates the wave of rising prices for
raw materials and finished products
has made no further progress in the
iron , woodworking and leather activi
ties. The manufacturing returns dis
close no abatement in production.
Building operations now are pressed
forward against the approach of win
ter , but new plans exceed those of a
year ago and indicate that necessary
materials will be as much needed as
before.
Railroad and lake movements suffer
ed but slight interruption from the
storms , and freight offerings now show
more bulk in heavy materials and ce
reals.

Further and serious
NevYork. / . congestion of railway
shipments , more advances
in wages , satisfactory reorders , a large
volume of spring trade , greater activi
ty in retail lines in consonance with
colder weather , a marked development
of demand for holiday novelties , and
persistent requests for domestic and
foreign iron and steel , are among the
significant features of an exceptionally
busy week. Complaints of poor deliver
ies are widespread , and while the rail
ways are making every effort to rem
edy the situation , little progress is be
ing made in that direction. Because of
these delays collections are not so
good as they might be , though most of
the improvement reported last week is
maintained. Shipments of grain prob
ably suffer most from the congestion ,
but deliveries of fuel to manufacturing
plants and shipments from iron and
steel mills are also hampered. Indus
trial plants are being pushed to the ut
most , foreign iron is coming in in vol
ume , labor is scarce , and wages , espe-
lially those of railway employes , have
undergone further favorable changes.

The kind of exercise one should take
for his heart's sake is extremely im
portant , says a writer in Outing. As
I have already said , exercise to affect
the heart sufficiently , must be vigorous ,
though not too vigorous. Ordinary
talking , while healthful , falls short of
this requirement. 9hat ! calisthenics
and light exercises generally are also
deficient in this respect Is proved by
the fact that , while all humankind nat-
tirally indulge in light exercises , yet
heart ailments are prevalent among
them. Every one that is not bedrid
den walks more or less ; and I have
read learned articles which try to
prove that -walking Is the only exer
cise man requires. But if a man nev
er runs , he could not , if he would , run
fairly fast even a half mile. So the
argument is in effect that a man need
not be able to run. I cannot agree
with this conclusion ; for walking at a
moderate pace affects heart action only
slightly ,
Running , of all exercises for 1' "
