ingredients Necessary In the Manu-
facture Of This Product.
BY ]. Shirley Jones, Chemist, Idaho Experiment
Station. Moscow.
From time to time the members ol
the experiment station staff are asked
for information concerning the proper.
ties, composition, and methods Of man.
ufacture of Portland cement. These
inquiries are usually answered by the
station chemist. Below Is given typi.
cal letter Of inquiry on this subject
and following it is the reply given by
the station chemist.
Weiser, Ida, Feb. 26, 1908.
would like to know the ingredient
and process Of making Portland cement
Is the body of clay or soapstone?
think have the raw material. Please
answer and oblige.-A. W.
A great deal Of time and labor have
been spent by various chemists in in.
vestigating the composition and prop
critics of Portland cement. The con-
clusions drawn from these investiga-
tions are not Away concordant, but nc
one dssonts from the view that the
essential ingredients of this kind Of &C.
ment are lime, silica and alumina.
Other elements are always present,
however, among them being magnesia,
soda, potash, iron. phosphorus, man.
ganese, titanium, etc. According 10
Meade, good cements vary considerably
in composition, but the three import
ant ingredienst will run about as fol-
lows: Lime, 58 to 81 per cent; silica,
10 to 25 per cent; alumina, 8 to 10 per
cent; and magnesia is allowable to the
extent of to per cent.
The raw materials from which Port
land cement is manufactured are CLASH
fed as argillaceous and calcareous.
Some common forms of the first are
clay, shale, and slate, and of the latter
limestone, mari and chalk. In these
two classes of raw materials are found
all the Ingredients necessary in the
manufacture of Portland cement. In
the iron regions of Pennsylvania, how
ever, blast furnace Stag is made to re-
place the clay or shale. From what
ever source the raw materials are OBJ
tanned, the cement manufacturer must
see that they are 80 mixed that the
product Of calcination contains the i'm
portant compounds mentioned above in
the proportions that experience has
taught are the ones necessary in a good
cement. 1t becomes almost imperative
then that the chemical composition Of
the raw materials should be known.
Although the writer is not personally
with the limestone regions
Of this state, it appears that there are
at least two localities in Northern Ida
no where Limestone is found in abund
ance, and since clay is also present, at
least in spots, in the same district,
there seems to be good reason for be-
lieving that in the future great deal
Of the Portland cement used in this
state will be made at home.

General Demand


of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy Of
known value; a laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because it's component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for it's remarkable
success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.
