T Garden ALCOHOL ON THE FARM. Tha Denatured Variety May Now Be Made Legally. Two years ago congress passed a law taking the internal revenue tax from denatured alcohol. This bill was passed with the aid and by the in fluence of fanners, who were led to believe that this bill would help them settle a hard question of light and fuel. Many of them thought that after the bill was passed the average farm er would l>e able to make alcohol on BMALI. 1 KISCH STILL. SEED WHEAT. FREDERICK ANQ VOLTAIRE ffi.-s4. CaMrally Used No* Up *• »M Standard. That the grade of seed wheat geh erally used is not up to the standard was ascertained In an investigation by G. W. Shaw of the California station, who secured a large number of sain- phis of seed wheat over a wide area in the Sacramento and San Joaquin val leys of California to determine the general character of the seed used by the farmers of the state. In general the samples showed that the quality of seed us«*d by most farmers is lack ing in purity, perfection of develop ment, weight ts*r bushel, freedom from w«*cds ami freedom from bunt. It Is stat«*d that practically all investiga tors have found the use of large, plump seed ami of a high weight per bushel the most profitable. No perma nent benefit is believed to be secured from the frequent exchange of seed unless a better type of wheat or a more vigorous strain of the same type Is obtained by the exchange. The use of seed from heavy yielding plants, a plump and heavy grain, a clean wheat and a pure variety nre considered by him the most Important points in seed selection. In this connection the results secur ed by E. G. Montgomery of the Ne braska station in an experiment with sc«*d wheat anti seed oats selected by the use of the fanning mill are of In terest. In these experiments heavy seed wheat as separated by the fan ning mill did not show an Improve ment in either yield or quality of grain as compared with light or unseparated seed, and it is believed that no perma nent improvement in quality or yield Is to lx* expect&l from th«* use of the fanning mill in se«*d selection. At first thought It would seem that if ‘’like produces like” the large or heavy seeds should produce the best crop. However, we must recognize the individual plant as a unit for selection rather than tin* individual se«*d. If a single plant of wheat be taken and the kernels thrashed out it will be found that all sizes of kernels are produced by the plant, some large and some small. As every wheat plant contains both heavy and light seed, tin* fanning mill gives almost the saint* kind of wheat, so far as inheritance is concerned, In the light wheat as in the heavy. It must be reiueniliered that reference is made h«*re to the permanent results which may be expected from the use of th«* fanning mill and that its use or the use of screens for removing ob noxious weed seed is in no way discour aged. Stormy Relations of the Miserly King * and Vie Lavish Author. The world knows plenty about tha elements of strength iu the characters of great men, but less about their weaknesses. Here is a story that shows the other side of the natures of Frederick the Great and Voltairs: I’rederl* k the Great had a leaning toward literature. He wrote poems, plays and booklets that, in his opin ion, possessed rare merit. So tt seemed fitting to lilm ttiat great liter ary men should fraternize, aud be sent an invitation to Voltaire to be bis guest. Accompanying the invitation was a sum of money to defray the great Frenchman's traveling expenses to tlie I’russlan capital. Let it lie explained at this point that Frederick was extremely penurious and tiiat Voltaire was not only ex travagant, but had many of the char acteristics of what we would now cal! a grafter. It should als«> be under- st«Hd thnt Frederick despised graft ing, an«1 Voltaire abhorred miserli ness. Voltaire accepted the Invitation—and then had an afterthought. Why not take a favorite niece with him? So tie wrote to tlie king that if he would send nn extra thousand louis lie would tiring the girl. "Sir.” repli«*d the king, “I did not ask the young lady to do me the honor of visiting me, ami I shall send noth ing to pay tier expenses.” “The old miser!” said Voltaire to a friend. “He has tubs of money in his treasury, yet will not grant me this wish.” However. Voltaire went to Berlin, but each found thnt he hated tiie «ither too much to make tlicir friendship perma nent. Tlie king once gave Voltaire a pack age of poems to revise. "See,” said Voltaire to n German no Neman, "what a quantity of dirty linen Frederick lias sent me to wash!” The king thought Ills guest was too free witli tlie chocolate and sugar and gave orders that lie be put on a re stricted dally allowance. Voltaire retaliated by gathering all tiie wax candles lie could find In the halls and storing them iu his trunk. Soon tli«* royal palace became too hot for him, and he began to pack up. Then Frederick missed his package of poems. At once lie scented a plot. Vol taire intended to take the verses back home witli him ami palm them off as his own. Lord Macaulay has said that tlie poems were so bad that be was convinced Voltaire would not for half of Frederick’s kingdom have consent ed to father them. But the king thought differently, being the author of the poems. So the I’russlan monarch had Vol taire thrown into Jail at Frankfort and kept him locked up for twelve days. Sixteen hundred dollars tiiat was found in his pocket was taken away from him. The king In the daj’s of their friendship tiad given Voltaire a life pension of $3,200 a year, and the money tiiat was confiscated was a semiannual installment. Thus «‘tided their friendship — Scrap Book. the farm at a low price and that lie could use this alcohol in place of other fuel. The result has been disappoint Ing to such farmers. The price of al cobol is still so high that it cannot be used in place of wood or coal. At th«* time tin* bill was pass«*d many well Informed farmers all over Ila* country feared that the alcohol Industry would be much th«* same as the beet sugar business--that it would not be mad«* on the small farms, but concentrated in the factories, where farm produce is brought, very much as sugar beets are brought to the factory or milk or cream to th«* creamery. There is still, however, a demand for a small distilling apparatus, but so far nothing of practical use has been made in this < ountry. The illustrations given herewith an* taken from a French catalogue and show two «levices for making alcohol In small quantities. Th«*y are popular in France. These pictures give an idea of the way the machines tire operated. Honey Vinegar.
