ADDISON COUNTY FARMERS.

The County Agent has the following
to say in regard to obtaining Pure
Culture from the Government for the
purpose of inoculating legumes such as
alfalfa, clover, soybeans, field beans,
etc. The following was taken from a
communication sent to him by the
Bureau of Plant Industry which fur
nishes this MATERIAL
For several years the United States
Department of Agriculture has cult
waited and distributed Liquid Pure
Culture of Bacteria beneficial to
leguminous plants and the large per-
centage of successful experiments now
recorded warrants the continuation of
this free distribution Only a limited
quantity, however, will be sent to any
one farmer. With an acre field
thoroughly inoculated in this way, an
abundant supply of field soil is available
for the incubation of more extensive
acreage the following season.
"Field Soil incubation. When a
field is known to be wellinoculated for a
certain legume crop, for example,
alfalfa, as indicated by numerous
nodules upon the roots of the alfalfa
plants growing thereon, such soil is
very desirable for the incubation of
other fields on the same farm or on
farms nearby, upon which alfalfa is to
be sown for the first time Such soil,
well sifted, can be readily applied to the
new field through fertilizer attachment
on a drill. One hundred pounds of sitted
soil will be sufficient for an acre thus
applied. Broadcasting the soil by hand |
will require a larger quantity and is
best done in the early morning, late
evening or on cloudy days, as the suns
rays are injurious to the thin layer of
inoculated soil thus exposedlto it. The
field should be Immediately narrowed
after broadcastng the soil. Trans
ferring field soil from any considerable
distance is expensive and subject to the
danger of introducing insects, weeds
and plant diseases.

TO DEVELOP CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES IMPORTANT
Chemists Show no Adequate Scheme Can be Entered Into National Preparedness With out Industrial Preparedness.

4 subject which is attracting very marked attention throughout the country at the present time is the proper development, through chemical processes, of the by-products of the coal and iron plants of this country.
 At the recent meeting of the Amer ican Society of Chemical Engineers, held in Baltimore, the possibilities in this line were brought out with start ling emphasis, and in the papers pre- sented by eminent chemists it was shown that no adequate scheme of na- tional preparedness can be entered into without giving thought to our industrial preparedness, which de bends largely upon our making the things heretofore gotten from for eign countries which enter into not alone the manufacture of munitions, but form large part of our entire industrial fabric.
 In this connection it is interesting to note the results that have been accomplished at the plant of the Chattanooga Gas X Coal Products Co.,, Chattanooga, Tenn, which is making coke with the Roberts method and developing many of the by-pro- ducts.
 The Manufacturers Record in this weeks issue contains an article which describes what has been done by this company.
 With the completion of the benzol plant the company will be producing gas, tar. sulphate cf ammonium, ben zol, toluol, xylol and solvent naptha.
 The present battery of ovens now handles 250 tons of coal a day, and will probably he increased in the near future to $50 tons, and is now yield ing about 2,250000 cubic feet of gas daily The part of this gas which is richest and highest in therman units is treated for the removal of sulphur and other impurities and delivered to the Chattanooga Gas Go. The re- mainder is used to heat the ovens for the production of more coke. gas, etc.
 President Lewis T. Wolfe announced early in January that the plant would be in operation before February 1.
 The Chattanooga Chemical Co.,, a subsidiary to the parent concern, has been organized to handle the benzol output, and will use it in manufactur ing synthetic phenol. Work has al ready been started on $150,00o plant for the Chattanooga Chemical Go.
 l Dr. Harry Mccormick, professor of applied chemistry in Armour Insti- ute of Technology, Chicago, and a leading expert on synthetic phenol (the common name of which is car bolc acid), has been retained by the company.

 In a word, these important items of the federal law may be here set down for use in connection with the sub
 ject matter of this pamphlet name ly: Government, state and municipal bonds are free from the income tax All other bonds are subject thereto, although, of course, on certain bonds the income tax is paid at the source whereas on others it is not. All stocks are free from the opera ton of the normal income tax, and in this. the federal law corresponds with our Connecticut state taxing law, and thus stocks become even more desir- able as subjects of investment because they are free. not only from local tax ation, but from the operation of the income tax as well.

MARIAN COLE. FISHER
A National Authority on the Subject Of PURE
SCI and the ART OF COOKING.

In an interview on baking powder.
Marian Cole Fisher, C~hautauqua lee
turer and at that time special chairman
of the Saint Paul Housewives League
and an active member, stated as fol-
lows:
Il find many, in fact, very many
women Woefully uniformed on the sub
5ect of baking powder Evidently the
housewife does not appreciate the value
of baking powder in her kitchen and in
her baking. or she would have informed
herself. This is a subject that is quite
important.
"A great many of the housewives
today have followed their mothers or
grandmothers in the use OF baking pow
der, which in some instances is a mis-
take. There has been just IS much i'm
provement in baking powder az in other
commodities l am glad to find that
baking powder has kept up with the
times.
Some housewives have been led to
believe that the cream of tartar pow
ders are the best goods to use. This is a
mistake. resulting no doubt from the
constant efforts of the Twenty Million
Dollar Baking Powder Trust to create n
prejudice against all goods save their
own. Their goods should be least de-
sirab1e on account of the large quanti-
ties of Rochelle Salts remaining in the
food.
The other extreme is the cheap and

May Now Look for

R. L. Rowley, Of San Francisco, as
sistant engineer for the Board Of Fire
Underwriters of the Pacific coast,
spent Monday in Carson and with
Art Meyers, chief of the fire depart

water system and its effectiveness IN
case OF large fires. A test was made
to. secure the amount Of water that
the new mains are capable of del:v-
ering by opening up five of the ne"
fire plugs at once and measuring the
volume of water discharged from,
each of them in a given time.
Mr.. Rowley will make a repor. Of
his tests and findings to the head
quarters of the company in San Fran
cisco. A representative of the corn
pany will then visit Carson and ar
range for a rewriting of the fire in
surance policies held in Carson. The
test was made for the purpose OF Sc

cent an ounce. These are even less de-
s:rable than the high-priced goods. I
can~say nothing in their favor. They
are never economical; frequently leav-
ing the baking bleached and acid; some
times yellow and alkaline, and often
unpalatable. They are not dependable
and represent false economy at any
price.
THE most simple way for the house-
Wife to class baking powder is by price.
TIE trust goods that retail for 45c or
53c a pound are usually the cream of
tartar powders, and are of the old
school: and the cheap and Big Can
Lind that sell all the way from 10c a
pound up to a cent an ounce should
also be avoided.
The last word in baking powder is
the happy medium, a combination pow
der that sells at a moderate price and
when properly prepared gives the con-
sumner full value for the money. Tho
result in baking is pure, wholesome
food, without any harmful residue.
Ihere is no reason why any housewife
should pay 45c or soc per pound. The
best baking powder made can be manu-
featured so as to retail at about " this
price"
On being asked what baking powder
she used in her work., Marian Cole
Fisher frankly stated that for more
than seven years she had used Calumet
Baking Powder with the most satisfac-
tory results in every particular.
