This coal turned into electricity
would produce 13l,4o0.o00 board of
trade units, and the electricity so pro-
duccd would. after allowing for losses
Of transmission and conversion into
work Of different kinds. be sufficient
to supply the whole of our require
ments now being satisfied by the use
of 15o.000,000 tons of coal which we
now burn.
summarizing the whole position, it
may safely be said that whatever coal.
gas. or power are now used, every
thing for which they are used will be
better done when electricity is the me
dium Of application.
Hardly less in importance in the all
electric scheme is the question of the
by-productS which become available
by the proper use of our coal. These
consist principally of fixed nitrogen,
together with tar and oils.
Fixed nitrogen in the forms of sui
phate of ammonia, nitrate of soda,
and nitrate of lime are most valuable
fertilizers, and enable land continual
ly to produce the same crops with a
greatly increased yield per acre. Much
has been done in finding out how best
| to utilize these artificial fertilizers.
but no doubt q great deol more will be
done in this direction. and fertilizers
as their principal constituent. which
| best suit the particular soils and crops
| that tits desired to deal with.
Much is being done to improve the
1 r,f nd
that with scientific treatment in the
production Of the seed, in the steriliza
ton of the ground. and in the applica-
tion of fertilizer, we may look at no
distant date to an increased yield Of ST
per cent in these crops upon what is
now being produced per acre. Tho
most vital feature, however, in bring
| ing this about once we have acquired
! sufficient knowledge, is an ample sup
ply of fixed nitrogen to use rs fertil-
iZer, and it is when considered from
this point of view that a scheme
which supplies this from our coal as
the result of saving present waste is
most important.
| With the increased yields which we
have mentioned we could produce corr
crops sufficient to supply the whole OF
our requirements upon 100000 acres
This would represent 23}a per cent OF
our present cultivated area. and woulC
only be addition of 3,333,0o0 acres to
| the land now used for the purpose Of
growing these same crops. The value
of these additional crops would be
about ss5S,O00,000, based upon the
prices which we paid last year, and t
this would have to be added the value
of the straw and the other wheat by
products, which would go long wa,
toward providing the food for growint
the additional meat which we require
to supply our demand at home.
In order TO fertilize the land we shouit
have available, under the all-electri'
scheme. 100000 tons, or its nitrogen
equivalent. of sulphate OF ammonia
This. if used over the whole OF the 10
10000 acres now under cultivation' "oui

MRS. PINKHAM's STANDING INVITATION:

Women suffcringfrom anyformof female weakness arcin-
yited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass. ALI letters are received, opened, read and answered by
women. A woman can freely talk of her private illness
to a woman; thus has been established this confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which
has never been broken. Never has she published a tcsti-
monial or used a letter without the written consent OF the
writer, and never has the company allowed these comb
dental letters to get out Of their possession, as the hun
drcds of thousands of them in their files will attest.
Out of the vast volume Of experience which Mrs. Pink
ham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge needed IN your case.
She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her
advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or
poor, should be glad to take advantage OF this generous
offer Of assistance. Address Mrs. Pinkham, care OF Lydia
