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

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
