The opinion la eipre(d that people In thl part of tha country will receive but little benefit from the paaaage cf tht "Denatured Alcohol Act" unlet they tea to it that thi aloonol I made at home from home grown product.

It la not probable that Individ ual farm diallllerlea wilt aver ba put Into operation. The Idea I advanced of a community atilt, or a atlll owced and operated by a ttock company, In which tba ehlef owner of the atock luil I ba the producer of tha raw ma terial. Flgnrea ara given llluatrating the relative efficiency of alcohol when y impaied to keroaene aa a aouroe of light.

In ordl nary caiee It i deeiiable that the cow bould be dry from a month to li week. The object being to Incre the aupply of nourishment for the growing foe tut at well a euabllng lha cow lo Improte her phyaical condition before the time ot calving. When It it thought beat to batten "laying off," itart by not milking tha cow clean Ihia will generally dwreate the amount to a point where it i eale to kip every otier milking. In about a week the milk will generally be reduced to noh proportion aa to Jimtlfy milking only every other day. Generally aoon after thl It will be aafe to ditcontinu milk ing altogether. The "drying ofl" I mnt eaaily ae complitbed when cow are fed on dry feed aa much at poedble.
