The Denatured Variety May Now
Made Legally.
Two years apo congress passed a
l:iw taking the internal revenue tax
from denatured alcohol. This bill was
passed with the aid and by the in
liuence of farmers, vrlm were led to
believe that this hill would help them
settle a hard question of lipht and
fuel. Many of them thoupht that after
the bill was passed the areraye farm

weeds by the purchase of manure and
hay and other feeding stuffs. E. I.
Oswald of the Maryland experiment
station undertook to obtain more defi
nite information on this point, espe
cially as regards dissemination through
manure, by studying the effect of the
fermentation of manure handled In
different ways and of passing through
the digestive systems of animals on
the vitality of various weed seeds, in
cluding seeds of about fifty of the
worst weeds found in Maryland.
In experiments iu which the manure
remained for six mouths in a barn
yard heap and for a short while in
piles, as when shipped In carload lots
from cities, it was found that la the
first case there was no danger and in
the second case little danger of dis
tributing live weed seeds. In the ex
periments i:i which the weed seeds
were fed to yearling steers and the
manure handled in various ways it
was found that

dressing an average of only 12. K per

Second Where manure was hauled
directly from the stable upon the land
and plowed under 2.3 per cent of the
seeds fed to animals came up.
Third. Where the droppings remain
ed on the pasture fields unadulter

3.1 per cent of the seeds fed to ani

The results indicate that In general

could use this alcohol In place of other
fuel. The result has been disappoint
ing to such farmers. The price of al
cohol Is still ho high that it cannot be
used In plac e of wood or coal. At the
time the bill was passed many well
Informed farmers all over the country
feared that the alcohol Industry would
be much the same as the beet sugar
business that It would not be made
on I he smull farms, but concentrated

Is brought, very muck as sugar beets
are brought to the factory or milk or
cream to the creamery.
There is still, however, a demand for
a small distilling apparatus, but so
far nothing of practical use has been
made In this country.
The Illustrations given herewith are
taken from a French catalogue and
show two devices for making alcohol
in small quantities. They are popular
in France. These pictures give an idea
( f the way tin- machines are operated.
The small ones appear to be pretty
close to toys, but there are larger and
more expensive devices which are real
ly practical.
A great deal of the alcohol making
in France appears to be done by truv-

In Many Instances He Has a Mistaken
Idea of City Life.
The great trouble with country boys
is that they are not aware of the cir
cumstances under which the city boy
is comiielled to live and work if he has
to earn his living by the sweat of his
brow. The idea held up to the country
boy is to go to town and get a nice,
easy, soft snap such as So-and-so has.
How many of them do It? Not one in a
thousand. Far more go there to find
work In some close, stagnant mill, to
sweat amid the fumes of steam or to
bacco smoke, or perhaps in some Iron
mill or foundry, surrounded by the
curses of their fellow men, toil out ti
weary day of eleven or thirteen hours
and after the day is over go home
and to such a home! Up some little
back street Iu a bandbox built of brick
and named a house more than likely
our workman has his home, there to
pass away the weary hours of the
night amid the heat and stagnation of
probably a filthy street only a few feet
wide, hot, close and dirty, in any
large city on some sultry night one
may see the workmen and their fami
lies In these little narrow city streets
stretched about the steps and pave
ments in all conditions. These are not
slums cither, but fairly respectable
neighborhoods.
To such a condition of life many
of our country boys have gone, and
many more are today preparing to
go. rat pay and big pay envel-
ipes? Not In these times. If our city
laborer averages $12 a week he Is a
lucky man. Tens of thousands get less
rather than more. Country boy, before
you make the change. In the name of
that country you have been taught to
hold In reverence, look and do not
leap! If you understand farming there
are Just as ninny chances on the land
to be worked out as there are in the
:-lty.
This is a great country, and if
you do not like the kind of farming
you are working at there are many
others. If you belong to a family that
follows the grind, grind system of all
work and no play, when yon reach
your majority and start for yourself
follow out an easier system. Io not
'ondeiun comiiry life just because you
have been unfortunate enough to be
brouL'ht up Iu the home of a man who
knows nothing but grind. I in not over-j
look the fact that If such a man was
your boss in the city he would grind
your life away. Long, lung before you
were twenty-one years old you would
be occupying some six feet of green
tc.rf, where at last you would not hear
the ill cailed call nnd curse of the boss.
Country life may not be and probably
l.-i not what many would like to color
it; but, all things being equal. It Is far
preferable to city life. That is Just
where it comes in. City life is never
compared with country life on an
equal plane. Remember that if you
must work in the country for a living
you will have to work In the city for
one, ton, ami if you possess the ability
In yourself to rise above the ordinary
workman in the city that same ability
will carve out n home for you In the

Plowing For Grape Leaf Hopper.
Flowing is sometimes done by Cali
fornia viueyardists during the winter
season for the purpose of destroying
the grape leaf hoppers. This is partly
based upon the supiosltiou that the
eggs may be iu the leaves or in the
ground or that the adult hoppers are iu
some way killed In the operation. So
far as having a direct effect in de
stroying the hoppers is concerned,
plowing is of little avail. The only
ones that will be killed are a few that
may not be disturbed from their rest
ing places among the leaves or other
wise accidentally buried by the plow
During the cold or rnluy days ther
may be a few thus turned under, but
ordinarily they are active enough to
esc ape readily before the plow.
Flowing, however, may have an in
direct effect on the hoppers by depriv
ing them of food or of suitable shelter
ing places during unfavorable weather
conditions, and if this practice Is gen
erally carried out Iu u neighborhood
It will no doubt result In reducing
the numbers somewhat. However, a
field may be free from hoppers during
the winter, but this Is not necessarily
an indication of freedom from spring
Infestation. The iusects are more gen
erally distributed In the winter sea
son, but the bulk of them will usually
be found in the vineyard or on the
vegetation of the borders immediately

surrounding It. They may come in,
therefore, from vineyards closely ad
joining, so that plowing a single vine
yard may be of little help. When
the plowing is done in a single vine
yard or over a small area It is likely
to result simply in driving them Into
other fields where there is a better
food supply. Once in these other sit
uations they may or may not come
back into the vineyard where they
were originally.
THE KING OF FRUITS.
No Other Disputes the Reign of the
Popular Apple.
Whatever temporary allegiance we
may owe to other fruits in their Bea
8on, the apple is the acknowledged
icing. The orange, the pear, the plum,
:he grain,' and other products of the
jrchard all have their place of honor,
ait it is only the apple that Is with
is always. Scarcely have the winter
ipplcs of last season disappeared,
scarcely has the last well preserved
Baldwin been taken from the bottom
jf the barrel, when the summer apples
jf the new season are ready for eat
ing. And what Is more welcome, what
Is more fragrant, what Is more lus
cious to the taste and more beautiful
to the sight than the reddening August
houghs of the summer apple trees?
But, however delightful the summer
Hid autumn apples may lie, their short
life deprives them of the perennial
place in our esteem that we award to
the Italdwin, the Northern Spy, the
(lubbardston. the King and dozens of
other varieties. Itipening when the
first snows of winter are Imminent, If
Ihey receive their deserved treatment
at a cool habitat In a well ventilated
cellar they will remain sound and eat
ible well on toward the opening of an
other apple season. Hut they as well
as all apples must be well treated. An
expert poinologist has said that apples
should be handled as if they were eggs,
mid he is not far from wrong. The
slightest bruise means the Instant be
ginning of decay, and one rotten apple
fan infect an entire barrel. Lovers of
apples should therefore learn that care
is essential to the preservation of fruit
md that the better they are treated
the longer the store will remain sound
mil healthy to meet the demands made
upon it throughout the winter nnd
spring.
The Manure Spreader.
There are not many farm Imple
ments that will pay for thooiselves
more quickly than a manure spreader.
It saves labor, but that Is not the big
part of the profit. Some men mast
hesitate about a purchase if It nuvi.is

needed while aaother spot is left bare
or to make a heavy application to one
sire and leave another acre without
manure. We now know that It pays
to make the manure go over a rela
tively large acreage. Director Ihorue
of the Ohio station has said that eight
loads of manure per ncre applied with
a spreader have about as great effi
ciency as twelve loads put ou roughly
with a fork. Every foot gets a little of
the material, and the effect Is seen in
the sod that follows or the sod to
which the manure is applied. Land
should not have a heavy dressing of
manure when other land iu the farm
needs manure. Make the application
light and even, and only a spreader
can do the work well. In the interest
of better sods, which are the life of a
soil, add to the efficiency of the ma

ing communities have learned this les
son thoroughly well, while others have
barely awakened to it.
Weevil In Wheat.
II. A. Gossard, entomologist of tho
Ohio experiment station, gives the fol
lowing method of ridding wheat bins
of weevil:
To destroy weevils working In wheat
bins fumigate with bisulphide of car
bon. Procure one pound of the liquid
for each thousand cubic feet of spacu,
Inclosed in the bin. Pour the liquid
into shallow containers, such as plates
or tin pans, and set on top of the
gram.
Make the building ns nearly air tight
as possible by pasting paper strips
over the cracks, windows, etc. If the
door does not fit tightly tack a horse
blanket over It with lath strips after
charging the bin with the chemical.
Keep closed for thirty hours. Do not
bring n lamp or light of any kind, such
as a lighted cigar, near the building
while fumigation Is in progress. Fu
migation for thirty hours ought not to
Injure the grain for either seeding or
milling purposes. If one fumigation
does not succeed repeat the treatment
as often as necessary, increasing the
dose if the building leaks gas.
Bovine Tuberculosis.
My experience and observations dur
ing the past seven years convince me
that bovine tuberculosis is a stable
disease, that it is very rarely. If ever,
omniunicated from one animal to an
other while cows are Iu the pasture
unless it be to a suckling calf, and that
It Is safe to assert that disease will
never be permanently removed from
dairy herds until more sanitary con
ditions are Introduced into a great ma
jority of the stables where the dairy
cow Is housed. Dr. Leonard Pearson,
State Veterinarian.
Index to Horse's Character.
According to the Royal College of
Veterinary Surgeons, England, the
horse's face is a good index to his
character. If there Is a general curve
to the profile and at the same time the
cars are pointed and sensitive, it Is
safe to describe the animal as gentle
and at the same time high spirited.
If, on the other hand, the horse has n
dent In the middle of his nose he Is
likely to be treacherous and vicious
A horse that droops his ears is apt to
he lazy as well as vicious.
