minimum has come to be regarded as

minimum has come to be regarded as
one of the tests of success in the |
business. In achieving this success
the chemist is a prominent figure.
How the by-products are obtained
from the I've that remains in the soap
watts or kettles after the boiling has
been ended is as follows:
The residuum of lye is put into
tanks from which it is piped to the
glycerin plant which is operated for
obtaining the by-products. In the
huge watts of the experimenting
plant the I've is pressed and boiled
down. The result is crude oil. Next
the product is further treated and dis
titled. The result is glycerin for nj
tro purposes. There is more pressure
and distillation and the result is
chemically pure glycerin that can be
used for medical purposes of all
kinds. This chemically pure glycerin
the firm sells. Some of the nitro
glycerin is also marketed, but for
nitro purposes only.
Different kinds of oils may be used
in soap making, having different pro-
portions of the proximate principals
of fatty bodies. The principal oils and
fats used for making soap are tallow
and palm, cocoanut, rape, poppy, lin
seed, hempseed, and olive oils. The
last named oil is used in the manu-
facture of the celebrated CASTLE, Mar
settles and other marbled and plain
soaps of Southern Europe. The best
oils for marbled soaps come from
Naples, and the Spanish oils are high
ly esteemed. The oils from the East

more or less of a greenish color,
which is Objectionable. The nothing
or marbling of soaps is produced by
sprinkling the surface of the newly
made body successfully with lyes of
less and less concentration, by which
the soap is again rendered sufficiently
pasty or semi-fuid to allow the aggre-
cation in different masses of the par
ticles of coloring matter.
CASTLE soap, which requires aging
of at least year, so as to give it the
brittle quality-the quality which
means that the residuum of I've and
other deleterious substances left over
from the "cold make process" have
been destroyed. The boiling process
is admitted to be the best way of kill
ing the germs in the raw materials
from which any soap is made, and
boiled CASTLE" has recently been at
tempted with success. In it's CASTLE
soaps, both boiled and non-boiled, the
modern high grade firm puts rea
olive oil, and the trade for this prod
uct is declared to be expanding in {
most gratifying way on this particulal
kind of coap-that is to say, among
that class of consumers which de
mands the best and is willing to pa.
for it.

Provisions.

Butter-With the exception OF quo
tations on ranch butter, which mas
taken a slight decline, the market re-
mains unchanged and firm. The de-
cline in ranch butter is due to good
amount of local produce coming H.

Chicago the situation was somewhat
unsettled but seemed firmer.
Poultry - Quotations remain un-

They used to say Nobody loves a
fat man." Gee whiz-a fat man, be he
egotistical, bombastic or stubborn, is
physical paradise compared to a
man who is too stingy to buy his
home town paper, says the Philadel-
phia Press. Just read this story from
the Mahanoy City Daily Record, and
see what happens to stingy man:
A man who was too economical to
take this paper sent his little boy to
borrow the copy taken by his neigh
Dor In his haste the boy ran over a
81 stand of bees, and in 10 minutes
looked like a warty summer squash.
His cries reached his father, who ran
to his assistance, and failing to notice
barbed wire fence, ran into that,
breaking it down, cutting handful or
flesh from his anatomy and running a
81 pair of pants.
The old COW took advantage of the
gap in the fence and got into the
cornfield and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing the racket, the
wife ran out, upset four-gallon churn
full of rich cream into basket OF
kittens, drowning the whole flock. In
the hurry she dropped a 81 set OF
false teeth. The baby, left alone
crawled through the spilled cream
and into the parlor, running brand
new $40 carpet. During the excite
ment the oldest daughter ran away
with the hired man, the dog broke
up II setting hens, and the calves go'
out and ate the tails off four fine
shirts.

Potatoes-No change is reported in
the local situation. What business is
being done is confined mostly to ped
lers and farmers. Quotations are I'M
changed. Reports from Chicago state
that the market was inactive, with
prices steady. At New York the mar
ket was strong, but very few pota-
toes were moving on account of a
strike on the Bangor &c Aroostock
railroad.
Onions-Onions are getting scarce
and both the local and the California
products have taken an advance.
Celery-Owing to the frost and
snow very little celery can be gath
cred from the ground and brought to
market; this has caused an advance
in prices.
Other Prices-With the exception
of quotations on cabbage, head lettuce
and cauliflower, which have all ad-
vanced, other quotations remain un-
changed with market steady.

Grain. Flour and Feed.

Wheat-During the fore part of the
week wheat was changing hands quite
freely and prices continued to go up
until Red Russian was quoted in the
country at 1914 in sacks; Club at
74R, and Bluestem at SAY. The mar
ket at present is uncertain. Wheat
is now at such a high mark that it
has caused depression in buying &C
tivities and a decline can be expected.
Flour-The market took another ad-
vance during the week in sympathy
with the wheat situation.
Feed-Quotations on hay have TAX
en- a further advance this week, due
to the difficulty with which farmers
bring their produce to market on ac-
count of the heavy snow. Baling is
also difficult under the present wet
conditions. Prices on barley and bran
have also advanced in sympathy with
the wheat situation. The probability
is that these products have reached
their top price.

Der producing states, Birmingham is
easily even now the peer.
| Great Development
But there is another feature of the
lumber manufacturing industries in
Birmingham that augurs even more
brightly for its splendid future.
The Birmingham manufacturers have
dlspelled the old, old theory that there
are not the lumber artisans in the south
necessary to the finest development of
the trade. They have built their own
mills, they have trained their own
wor<men and they have done ii SO sue
cessfully that they even now rival the
81 eatest of the old northern mills that
| were supposed to have a monopoly on
the lumber finishing of the country.
Probably the best proof of Birming-
hams supremacy in this trade Is tho
fact that the great proportion of all
the finer timber grown in the near
south Is sent here for manufacture and
| that it is then bought up by the north
ern and eastern markets with so lit =
| tie delay that there can be no longer a
doubt that the northern lumber crop
has run short.
Some idea of the future in which
| Birmingham will figure strikingly as
the center of the manufacturing district
may be gained from the fact that the
country demands 10000, 10000 feet of
southern lumber every year and that
/ the supply which comes into the broad
| ening Birmingham mills is known to
| be great enough to withstand this de-
mand for a.. quarter of a century at
least

last two columns show the ratio which
each region bears to the whole state,
first in area and then in total daily
capacity of sawmills. The percentage
in the last column ought to do pretty
well for total annual output, too, for
1t is reasonable to assume that the
output is proportional to the capacity.

5. The central pine belt is moderately
hilly with soil varying almost from the
richest to the poorest. none of it de-
cidedly calcareous. 1t is we'll wooded,
with short-leaf pine prevailing in the
northwestern half and long-leaf pine in
the southeastern, and has at present
more saw mills than any other region,
not only absolutely but also in proper
ton to area
g.. The black belt or prairie region,
extending northwestward to the vicin-
ity of Corinth, Miss, with fertile, limy
soils throughout, is even more exclu-
sively devoted to agriculture than the
Tennessee valley, which 1t resembles in
some other respects, such as the con-
siderable variety of hardwoods in the
remaining forests
T. The Chunnennuggee ridge belt is
more hilly and little less fertile than
the black belt, but otherwise very SINH
lar.
8. The southern red hill region has
no striking peculiarities. Conditions
there are about like an average for the
whole state. Both farming and lum-
bering are important industries.
8. The limesink region, extending into
southwest Georgia, was not so very long
ago almost completely covered with
long-leaf pine forests. but in the last
two or three decades farmers have
been taking possession of its easily
titled and comparatively level sandy
lands very rapidly, until now it is near
ly as thickly setted as the Tennessee
valley. Consequently the lumber indus
try there is on the wane.

/. The Tennessee valley is a fertile
region with much limestone, thickly
settled and mainly agricultural, but
still containing greater variety of
hardwood timber than any other. AS
in middle Tennessee adjoining, pines
are rather scarce. and long-leaf pine
entirely absent.
.. The coal region, continuation OF
the Cumberland plateau of Kentucky
and Tennessee, is hilly to mountainous,
with sandstone and shale rocks and
more or less sandy soils. and is rather
thinly settled. Almost as many of the
inhabitants are engaged in coal mining
as in farming. The forests which still
cover most of the area contain much
more pine and a smaller proportion of
hardwood than the Tennessee valley.
g. The Coosa valley region, which is
a continuation of the valley of east
Tennessee, the Shenandoah valley OF
Virginia, etc, is similar to that of the
Tennessee in many respects, but the
rocks and soils are more varied, ana
pines more abundant. Mining and
manufacturing occupy a large proper

are relatively fewer farmers than. in
the Tennessee valley, and consequently
larger proportion of woodland.

northeastward to Pennsylvania is char

gneiss, schist, etc.), and red hills. be-

western border. Agriculture is the
leading industry. but there is still plen-
