A '•/Mj*' A government report, issued April 5. after speaking of power tests of American coal as found in the East, says: "Of scarcely less importance are the results] obtained in the use of lignite in the gas-producer plant. It has been shown that a gas of higher quality can be ob tained from lignite than from high-grade bituminous coals, and that one ton of lignite used in. a j^-pradooer plant: wilt yields A* tirach -.pttinrias Onet6n^f4h4best PennsjlTsnia or West.

These inveati* gptiona bate been of inestimable unlike in showing how the large fceda of lignite found in many of the Western states may be flfaBt* aMy utilised. It has alao bien demonstrated that producer gas can be used advantageoualy in ^bnrninjg cl^y products and in many Gther metallurgical operations. work done at the briquet- S&jg plant showed that some of the American coals and the slack pro duced in mining these coals can be briquetted on a commercial basis. coal sometimes afeigjier grade fuel than tbe origfoaUfoel and will stand transportation better. It is poe sible to briquette anthracite coal with pitcji and without the addi tion of any bituminous ooel. Coke breezecan alao be briquetted but the quality of the briquette is im proved by the admixture of 20 to SO per cent, of bituminous coal stock. Several new. binding sia terials for coal briquettes were in vestigated and a few of them provejl sufficiently satisfactory to warrant their more extended use. A number of lignites have have been briquetted under high pres sure, without the' use of binding materials. To Treat Grain For Smut. Take a barrel and put ia from 40 to 45 gallons of water to one of formaldehyde, standard strength. Now take two pieces of 4x6 and lay edgewise on barrel then take a tub and bore a one-inch hole on one side of bottom and put a wood plug from the under side, the plug being on one side. You can put the tub on the 4x6 pieces so it will not cover much of the barrel. Put into tub one bushel of grain and dip out of barrel enough of the solution to cover grain good. Any wild oats or light seed will then float on top and can be skimmed off. PulPout the plug and let solution run back into barrel. Have an empty bin to dump treated in a day and I think is a good deal more effective than to sprinkle and shovel the grain and it saves the solutiop.—J. P. Kluge Moddy Co.,8. D. [Care should be take to clean all sacks used after the grain is treat ed to clean the drill box and if the grain is put back in a bin, as the writer suggests, it should too be thoroughly cleaned with the solu tion if it has ever held grain be fore. It is just as important to cleanse the receptacle into which the treated grain is put as it is to treat the grain .—Pub. Dakota Farmer. Mr. T. M.
