FREE ALCOHOL. 
With the going into operation of the De- 
mred Alcohol bill on Jan. 1, every farmer can 
1 rt his own still. The bill was advocated and 
lended with that end in view, among others, 
( d its advocates look forward with hope to a 
; change in the farmer’s life as a result. If 
; new law. accomplishes what is hoped, it will 
a great boon to the farmers and make a revo- 
i ion in life on the farm. 
All that seemed necessary to make the provis- 
! is of the bill apply with profit to the farmers 
|Ls to find some way for them to convert the 
|Jste products of their farms into alcohol with- 
t being obliged to send them away to a big 
Ktillery, or to put in expensive plants of then¬ 
'll. Farmers’ Bulletin No. 268, which contains 
•II information about the “industrial alcohol, its 
(jarces and manufacture,” says: 
I Pineapple pearings, tomato peelings, pea hulls, 
nana skins, sugar corn c6bs, cornstalks, waste 
tits, and vegetables—in short any farm or 
chard products containing sugar, gum, and 
llulose, can be used for the production of in- 
strial alcohol. The substances used for de- 
turizing alcohol are numerous, and include gum 
ellac, copal resin, Manila gum, camphor, tur- 
ntine, acetic acid, wood alcohol, analine blue, 
phthalene, and many others. 
S When the original bill was under discussion, 
nator Fulton, of Oregon, said that he was op- 
sed to it unless any farmer could have a still, 
d he was assured that any farmer could. It 
came apparent, however, that the bill was not 
Vorable to the operation of stills by farmers, 
i rtly because it would be unprofitable to pro- 
; ce less than from seven to ten proof gallons 
j lay, and partly because of the difficulty of meet¬ 
ly the regulations of the internal revenue ser- 
; 'e. To overcome the latter objection was the 
i.iect °f the bill recently introduced by Senator 
gmsbrough, of North Carolina. He believes 
l it any farmer, or any number of farmers, can 
-till their waste products into alcohol, and so 
|pply themselves with light, heat and power at 
.low price, and sell the surplus. 
The use of denatured alcohol has reached large 
jbportions in European countries, and in Greece, 
/cording to a recent census bulletin. The 
(venues of the Government are falling from the 
(e of petroleum to such an extent because of 
it 1 ? use of alcohol that it is possible *a tax may be 
i posed on alcohol to provide revenue to meet 
j; war debt.—New York Times.

THE RECOGNIZED AUTHORITY 
GAME LAWS IN BRIEF 
The “Forest and Stream” 
TRAP SCORE BOOK 
meets the needs of gun clubs and shooters in every par¬ 
ticular. The 150 sheets are heavily ruled—an advantage 
all scorers will appreciate, particularly when working in 
a dim light. The horizontal spaces are.numbered from 
1 to 30. Broad perpendicular lines divide these into 
groups of five, which aids the eye of the scorer greatly. 
Similar heavy lines divide the perpendicular spaces into 
groups of six; thus the squads are distinguished at e 
glance. 
The paper manifolds easily, and carbon sheets art 
placed in the book for that purpose. 
It contains the American Shooting Association Rule* 
for Live-Bird Shooting, for Double Live-Bird Shooting, 
for Inanimate Target Shooting, Hurlingham Revised 
Live-Bird Rules for single and double rises, and th« 
Rose System of dividing purses. Price, $1.

Bears I Have Met—And Others. 
By Allen Kelly. Paper. 209 pages. Price, 60 cents. 
Mr. Kelly’s most excellent book of bear stories, though 
for a time forgotten, has recently come to have an ex¬ 
cellent vogue. This is not strange, since bear stories, 
like snake stories, always appeal to men, women and 
children, many of whom perhaps acquired their first 
interest in these animals by reading of the achievements 
of the bears which figured in Bible history. At all 
events, the stories in this volume are interesting, and 
are well worth the reading by any audience.
