What Is AlrwaetT
According to the pharmacopoeia of the
lulled Plates, eighth decennial revision,
alcohol, or. as it is techniaclly termed,
oolugue sph-lts. is a liquid composed of
shout K.i er cent by weight, or about
IH.t per cent by volume, of absolute ethyl
alcohol, and about 7.7 per rent by weight
of water. This is the equivalent in proof
of IB. a, or practically 190 per rent. It is a
transparent, colorless, mobile and volatile
liquid, of a alight agreeable odor and- a
burning taste. Specific gravity, about

well -closed vessels, in a cool place, remote
from lights or fire.
f For the purposes of this article, which
'.proposes to discuss only the process of the
manufactare and denaturing of alcohol
and It uses. It may be stated that this char
acter of alcohol la made, from com or
' iiotatoes. or other starchy or saccharine
raterials.
The f rrst step rn the proportion of corn,
giotatoes or other starch products for dls-
nlllatlon is to convert the starch which
1 these products contain, and which Is not
J fermentable, into a fermentable substance.
i Te obtain tlua result when corn is used it
is first ground Into meal, then cooked by
subjecting It te a high temperature and
pressure. Iurlng this process the starch
becomes partly dissolved and partly gel
atinised, and at the end of the working
period, after a proper reduction in the
temperature has been effected malt is In
troduced to convert the soluble starch into
sugar. In which state It Is readily ferment
able. Technically thia conversion ia known
as saochartflcation: its production being
affected by the action rnn the starch of the
diastase contained in the malt, yielding
maltose and dextrin.

This meal is placed in the vacuum cooker,
which is a cylindrical steal vessel made of
heavy steel plate mounted longitudinally
on substantial oast iron stands, depending
upon it capacity or slae. The Interior of
this cooker is fitted with caat iron stirrer
arms attached te a steel shaft w hich makes
about sixty revolutions per minute. The
team enters at the bottom by means of
pipes conducting it from a manifold or
heater at the aide. Attached to each pipe
at Its point of entrance is a -check valve of
special design to spray tlie steam through
the mash and to effect thorough steaming
and consequent perfect dissolution of the
starch. A thermometer for regulating the
temperature and a water gauge are placed
In the bead.
The operation consists of first filling Into
the cooker the requisite amount of water
for each bushel of meal. This water la gen
erally supplied from the hot water tub, the
tame being a recaptacle for storage of the
hot water overflow from the condenaers.

For a spirit mash from six to tn per
rent of gand barley malt la used, which,
first being ground Into meal.' Is mixed with
cold water of the required quantity in the
small grain masher. The thorough mixing
of the malt with the mash Is allowed to
continue for about five minutes, after
which it is drawn Into the drop tube,
near the cooker. Tills receptacle is fitted
with a stirrer and completes the mashing,
following which the product Is pumped
through the mash coolers, where It Is re
duced to the proper temperature for fer
mentation. In the preparation of the potato mash
the lime method of operation is pursued,
except that the potatoes are first waahed
to remove any adhering earth and then
charged Into the cooker, whole.
"While the mash is being filled into the
fermentation vata, after leaving the mash
cooler, foment or yeast is added to induce
fermentation. This yeast is built up by
successive stages from mother yeast, com
monly called start yeast, which is either of
the so called pure cultum variety, consti
tuting a particular and especially cultivated
species of yeast aa most effective for alco
holic fermentation, or by spontaneous or
hop yeast, produced by growth of yeast

proportion for each bushel of meal. One
or more of these tubs are needed for each

lumping. The steering continues lof about
twenty minutes after the meal la all in,
during which time the formation of the
sugar from the action of the malt
on the rye la being effected. It is then
allowed to stand for eighteen to twenty
hours during which time the mash takes
on a wine sour, by the growth of a la'ic
cid ferment, which protects" the mother
yeast from Infection by suppressing other
lid species of yeast and bacteria Inter
fering with the termenta'lon. Care must
be taken during the souring process by
covering the yeast tub and gardlng against
an undue reduction of temperature In the
yeast room to prevent he temperature of
the mash from falling below 12 degrees,
at which temperature the highly injurious
butyric and aoettc acid fermentation are
developed.

The sour maah Is then cooled by circu
lating water through the coil and thor
oughly agitating the whole until reduced
te sixty degrees. The so-called yeast dona
previously prepared from the start yeast
Is now added and thoroughly mixed with
the maah. Aa a result of the yeast fermen
tation effected during the next tea or
twelve houra a temperature of eighty-four
degrees will 1 attained, when further fer
mentation la discontinued. It is then cooled
to sixty-five degrees, at which temperature
It ia maintained by circulation of water
through' the cull and stir In g It until It
is to be conducted to the fermenting vata,
where fermentation of the sweet mash at
once begins.
When the yeast ferroentatloi has pro
gressed to eighty-four degrees, and before
stirring and cooling, the rich top yeast,
or stock yeast, is removed In proportion to
ton gallons to H bushels of maah and
preserved for Subsequent use.
The fermentattng period covers about
seventy-two houra. Thia fermented prod

after the stuff is denatured by the govern

dorsement to the National Cora exposition?
A. Tes, the government of the United
States has given the most emphatic en
dorsement to the National Com exposition.
President Roosevelt has spoken in approval
of it and has instructed his Country Life
commission to visit Omaha and participate
in the exposition; Secretary of Artie ult ure
Wilson has placed at the disposal of the
National Com exposition C. A. Shamel, his
expert in the bureau of plant Industry, and
has sent to Omaha one of the largest al j
cohol stills for use In making practical
demonstrations during the exposition.
Q. Will actual Instruction be given those
attending the National Com exposition?
A. Tes. regular class room work will be
carried on by these scientists, and men.
women and children will m given careful
training in the various methods of Inten
sive farming by practical demonstrations.
1 What results are expected to accrue
from these courses of study.
A. The result that those aim receive this
training will go back to their farms and at
once begin putting into practical operation
the lessons they have learned, and that
next year they and olhera whom they have
Influenced will attend the Com exposition
again and receive other leasuns, and that
this will continue a practical system of ed
ucation in intensive farming until it will
have spread all over the country and be
come thoroughly established.
Q. What then Is expected to be the re
sult? A. Tlie result will be that farmers will
know how o till and fertilise their soil
and how to select and treat their seed so
as to multiply manifold their harvest and
In like ratio increase the value of their
tand and their annual income.
