No Proat la Para Alcohol.
The Department of Agriculture,
through Dr. II. W. Wiley, chief of the
bureau of chemistry, has undertaken
to educate the farmers regarding the
manufacture of denatured alcohol. Two
bulletins on the subject have been Is
sued. ' From Dr. Wiley's discussion of the
subject the conclusion is reached that
the manufacture of alcohol on a very
small scale la not likely to prove prof
itable, and because of revenue regula
tions It Is evident that the farmer must
be content with producing the raw ma
terials. The bulletin on the subject of
sources and manufacture says:
"The principal uses of industrial al
cohol are Illumination, heating, motive
power and the manufacture of lacquers,
varnishes, smokeless powder, medicinal
and pharmaceutical preparations, vine
gar and ether. When Industrial alco
hol Is made at a price at which It can
compete with petroleum and gasoline,
it doubtless will be preferred for the
purposes above mentioned, because of
its greater safety and more pleasant
odor. Under the present conditions It
Is not probable that Industrial alcohol
can be offered upon the market at much
leas than 40 cents a gallon of 1)3 per
cent strength."
Dr. Wiley expresses the belief, how
ever, that by paying attention to un
used sources of raw material and with
Improved methods of manufacturing
and denaturing this price can be di
minished. ,
Ginseng la Missouri.
According to the Missouri experiment
station bulletin, the cultivation of gin
seng for the Chinese market has be
come an Important industry in that
State, notwithstanding the fact that it
takes five or six years to mature a crop.
While the crop '.a exceptionally valu
able, the cultivation of ginseng baa
been found to possess disadvantages
the same as most other cultivated
crops. It appears that several fungus
diseases have broken out in the gin
seng plantations, some of which are
extremely serious and infectious, large
areas often being destroyed in a sin
gle week. However, the particular or
ganisms causing the damage have been
recognized and methods for keeping the
diseases under control have now been
worked out
Cattle Lice.
Lice on cattle Indicate lack of atten
tion and por feed- Grease of any
kind will destroy lice on cattle, but
grease should not be used If It can be
avoided. First wash the animal with
kerosene, emulsion, and follow with
clear water. When the skin Is dry
dust every portion of the body with a
mixture of a peck of carbonate of lime
and a bushel of clean, dry dirt If a
single animal Is infested with lice, the
others will soon be In the same condi
tion unless remedies are used as preventives,

Ta Oaloa Mamrot.
The onion maggot and cabbage mag
got can only be distinguished hy an
expert, as they are very nearly alike.
The maggot Is the larva of a small fly.
There 1 uo known "ure" remedy that
can be applied. Sprinkling powdered
sulphur around the plant la a partial
remedy, but It doe not always bring
relief. Making a small hole near each
onion and pouring Into each hole half a
teasjioonful of bisulphide of carbon,
covering the hole with earth, I claim
ed to be a remedy, but uch method I
expensive and laborious. Liquid ma
nure applied to the plants I claimed
to be a remedy. The bent preventive
Is to grow the onions on land that has
not before produced a crop, but of
course uch can not be doue until next
season. This change of location of the
onion patch Is the only partial solutbn
of the maggot problem.
Saa-arlaa; I'nn Support.
For fence posts or upiorts that will
not rot off' or break off, for picket or
ulne-wlre, take two boards 2x0, cms
at the top so a to leave a crotch for
top wire. Fasten together with 8-ien-ny
nails. Put a croiplece In the mid
dle for middle wires, to rest on and
fasten with staple and a crossplece at
bottom for bottom wires to rest on und
fasten with staple. Then anchor with
a small stake on each side to prevent
wind from tipping over, and yon have
a good post for picket fence. Nail or
wire post to the stake. This makes an
excellent post for repairing an old
picket fence. Farm Progress.
Milk Cow..
The Hollanders evidently breed and
feed for milk first of ail. That they
succeed Is proved by the large milk
yields of their cows. That large milk
flow, seemingly regardless of butter-fat
percentage, pays them Is proved by
their prosjierlty. The dairyman bore
thinks It necessary to pay small prices
for dnlry cows that annually yield
from 3,000 to 4,000 iwunils of milk.
What the financial result to him In, the
wretched records show only too plain
ly. He Is the worst-paid farmer in the
land. What could he not do If, Instead
of breeding, buying, feeding and milk
ing cheap cows, he wero to breed, feed
and milk cows of the 11,500 to 14,500
pound class? The Frleslanders and
other Hollanders, with their gigantic
cows, make money on milk produced
on soil that costs from $)0 to $2,000
an acre or rents at from $50 to $200.
Polnta In Pruning.
In pruning the trees all stems half
an Inch or more In diameter should lie
covered with some waterproof sub
stance, like grafting wax or shellac of
the consistency of cream. The bnrk
and outer wood will thus be preserved,
and the wound win In a season or so
be covered with new bark. If this pre
caution be not taken the end of the
branch may decay from exposure to
wind, rain, heat and cold.
The EKK-Katlna; Hen.
Some one wants to know how to keep
hens from eating their eggs. Having
had some exierlence along that line, I
offer a few suggestions: A deep nest
box, In which there Is only room for
the lien's body, so thut she cannot get
at the eggs when on the nest, and too
deep for her to reach the eggs when
standing on the edge of It, Is a good
thing. The best nest box I have used
Is 14 Inches square and 18 Inches deep,
covered with a 0-Inch door or opening
at the top of one side.
