WE LEAD—THE REST FOLLOW
DISTILLING ON THE FARM.
New Law for Benefit of Agricul-
turist, Effective Sept. i.
The following was banded us by a
person interested in farming in this
country with the desire that it be
published:
One of the most important pieces
of legislation by congress at the last
session was the adoption of Senator
Hansbrough's amendments to the
free alchol law says the New York
Tribune. Many supporters of the
original measure had expected that
it would enable the farmer to manu-
facture small quantities of spirits for
use in running a portion of his
machinery. To some agriculturists
that privilege would be more wel-
come than any increased demand
for their corn by wholesale dislillers.
When therefore it was discovered
that the proper provision had not
been made the senator from North
Dakota took the lead in a movement
to correct the oversight, and was en-
tirely successful. The new law
does not go into effect until next
September, but it will then be per-
missible for anybody who complies
with regulations which the commis-
sioner of internal required to issue,
to distil on his on premises a quanity
of alcohol not exceedine 100 eallons
(about two barrels) daily. It does
not matter how little he produces or
how much of the time his still stands
idle. The all Important thing is
not to exceed the prescribed limit in
an interval of twenty-tour hours.
Before availing himself of the op-
portunity, soon to open to him, the
farmer will need to obtain a variety
of information. For some of this he
must look to the head of the internal
revenue bureau. Mr. Yerkes alone
can tell him how large a bond he
must give to guarantee the govern-
ment against fraud, what kind of
storage tank will meet the approval
of the government, how often and
under what circumstances the at-
tendance of an inspector can be se-
cured to release the product from
the tank and what sort of poison and
how much must be added to the al-
cohol in order to make it available
for use and exempt from tax. Cer-
tain other facts—the price of de-
naturing substances, for instance,
and the difference between grain
(or ethyl) alcohol and wood (or
methyl) alcohol — any intelligent
farmer can ascertain for himself.
Even then, however, it will be in-
judicious to go ahead without suit-
able instruction in regard to methods
and materials. Practically all kind
of vegetation, including such un-

promising articles as sawdust and d: y
chips, cas by suitable treatment, be
made to yield ethyl alcohol, but in
most cases the quantity would be too
small to pay. Besides, what might
be an economical source in one re-
gion might prove wastefully expen-
sive elsewhere. Without helpful
guidance in the choice of materials;
therefore, needlessly disheartening
mistakes may be made.
Foreseeing this possibility, Mr.
Hansbrough has suggested to the
secretary of agriculture that a circu-
lar be prepared for the enlightment
of such farmers as wish to attempt
distillation. The plan is an excel-
lent one. The senator from North
Dakota is doubtless aware that doc-
uments relating to the subject have
already been issued under Secretary
Wilson's auspices, but he may think
that they are so voluminous as to be
confusing to the novice. Other men
entertain that opinion, at any rate,
and have wished for a more succinct
presentation of the matter and for
something more specific in the way
of advice. It is thought probable
that the internal revenue bureau will
issue its new regulations about July
1, or two months before the law goes
into effect. If Secretary Wilson saw
his way clear to comply with Sena-
tor Hansbrough's request at that
time or even sooner he would un
questionably help those interests for
the promotion of which his depart-
ment of the government was estab-
lished.—Ex.

Why we Advertise
HENDERSON
CORSETS
It does not pay us
to advertise a poor
thing.
To urge, advise and recommend that you
buy some inferior article hurts us, because you
will remember the injury we have done you—be-
cause you have a degree of confidence in us and
we cannot afford to push an unsatisfactory item.,
This applies to corsets with perhaps greater force
than with any other article of wear. And we ad-
vertise Henderson Corsets because, while the
profit is small, the satisfaction to the wearer is
great, and second sales come without effort on
our part Women know a good thing when they
have tried it This week we have a full stock.

'FARM LANDS'
Can always be depended upon to bring handsome re-
turns from what they will produce. Hence from a
productive standpoint they are popular as an invest-
ment; but aside from what can be produced from
year to year, all good lauda are constantly enhancing
in value, which makes the income from them a two-
fold one. The best cheap farm lands are in the Pan-
handle of Texas and the best bargains can be found
