ment when he should return, but was assured by his German friends that by products of American coke ovens not be utilized for this purpose, as our coal was not of the right kind. MT. Nichols per- sisted, and built a plant which produced 1000 tons year of excellent aniline oil. The Germans then cut the price so dras- tically that it was impossible to compete with them Congress did not then realize the astuteness and far-sghtedness of the German maneuvers Germany well knew that no stable smokeless powder could be made without the product of an anil1ne oil plant. The deficiency has since been well remedied, America having become not only self-supporting, but an exporter Of aniline oil and other chemicals won from by-products of coal.
 There are some Americans better known abroad than among their own country men. These are men of real achieve ment, men who have accomplished things of international importance but who have not advertised themselves by brass band methods Dr. Nichols is such a man. i recently read in French paper a ref erence to Dr. Nichols as "the scientist and chemist known all over the world. . And it is even so. Honors have been conferred upon him by royalty, by great scientific and chemical organizations and by universities. He was elected president in 1909 of the Eighth International Con gress of Applied Chemistry, while the so- ciety of Chemical Industry of Great Britain paid him a similar honor. He IS a charter member of the American Chem ical society and the recipient of many decorations and degrees.

 Insecticides and How to Use Them
 Coaltar is one of the most dependable insecticides. It is a thick, black syrup with an exceedingly penetrating odor A good louse fumigator can be made by painting the inside lower half of a barrel with coal tar and placing a piece of heavy paper on the bottom. One or more fowls are confined in the barrel and the open end is covered with a burlap sack. The fumes of the coal tar suffo- cate the lice. The Immigration is watched and the fowls are removed if they appear overcome with the fumes. The lice on the paper are thrown into a pan of kerosene.
 The usual way of applying coal tar is to dilute it with kerosene. Add a cupful of cotton seed oil or melted lard to one gallon of kerosene to increase it's cover ing power, then mix in one pint of coal tar. This insecticide can be strongly recommended for painting roosts and roost supports. It remains effective for a month or more, and, after a few ap- plicatons, the wood is so thoroughly saturated with coal tar that mites will not remain on it. Apply with a brush
 Cresol, derivaaive of coal tar, is probably the best base TOT 1nSectlcdeS that are to be sprayed around the roosts dropboards and nests to exterminate mites, and under houses and other places for destroying the breeding haunts of fleas. One part of cresol is added to from 20 to 30 parts of water There are number of mite paints on the market of similar composition that can be recommended. It is only necessary to dilute any of these concentrated solu- tions with water and spray the af- fected parts.
 Another reliable insecticide for use in- side of poultry houses and brood GOODS is the lime-sulphur wash advocated by horticulturists for painting the trunks of fruit trees in winter. It is made in the following way: Shave three pounds of laundry soap and dissolve in three gal Ions of boiling water Mix four pounds Of sulphur into paste with water and add it to the soap solution. Stake 70 pounds of lime in hot water, stir well, then mix in it the sulphur-soap solution. Add water to increase the mixture to 25 gallons. Apply with brush. This makes a snow-white wash that will take the place of regular whitewash. It will not rub off.
 The above insecticides are painted or

Creating a Great Industry

B. c. Forbes, in Lesles.
 America has tardily awakened to the necessity for the domestic production Of chemicals. One American realized the opportunities and importance of the chemical industry nearly 50 years ago and has produced possibly a greater quantity of heavy chemicals than any other man in the world.
 From an humble business employing one helper William H. Nichols has built up an organization owning and opera ting over 30 chemical manufacturing plants Tn the United States and Canada and em- ploylng tens of thousands of workmen. ms company possesses assets of $50 0UO,- 0oo earns profits of millions yearly, paws haEdsome dividends to it's stockholders ana brings to America millions of dol- lars from oversea buyers of it's products.
 when William H. Nichols took up the scientlflc manufacture of chemicals there were only few, relatively small, chem leal plants in this country, run for the most part by men of little or no technical or scientific education in chemistry
 " hen 1 began making sulphuric acid z sald MT. Nichols T found that, although (al! the sulphuric acid on the market was laneled as 6e degrees (of strength), much V - "oo uHucI strength, uSudlly OHly oo degrees. I made mine 66 degrees and marked it accordingly. Before long l was waited on by body of my compet- itors who declared to me: You are mak- Ing fool of yourself. You are only a young man and new at the business and perhaps that's why you don't seem to Know that you are mourning unnecessary expense to yourself by making your sul- phuric acid 66 degrees when 65 degrees is just as good I told them that if maue 6o-degree acid I must put 65 degrees on the package and that if I put 66 on the package I must make 66-degree acid. They went off very much dissatisfied and disgruntled.
 About this time the process of refining oil was discovered and orders for sul- phuric poured in to us faster than we could fill them. We were swamped with demands for our product, while our com petitors were not receiving a similar amount of business Of course they set about finding out the reason why and they discovered, as the oil refiners had already discovered, that 65-degree acid was not strong enough for refining oil, whereas 66-degree acid met every require ment'

This beautiful little fowl is a mon ument to the life work of an English fancier, Sir John Seabright. He spent years of breeding in an attempt to produce the handsomely laced plumage of the Laced Polish on a small hen feathered bantam. His efforts were so successful that others became interest ed in the work and a speciality club for it's advancement was formed in 1920. Then began radical changes which pointed toward positive and identical shape with color of plum- age and legs, dropping mugs, erect carriage and hen feathered males. all of which have been jealously guarded to the present time.

 A brilliant whitewash in use by the federal government is made as follows: Stake one-half bushel of lime with warm water. Cover it during the process to keep in the steam Strain the liquid through a fine sieve. Add a peck of salt previously well dissolved in warm wa ter; three pounds of ground rice boiled to a thin paste and stirred in boiling hot; half pound of powdered Spanish whit ing and pound of glue that has been dissolved over slow fire. Add five gal Ions of hot water to the mixture and stir we'll Cover the barrel to protect it from dirt, and let the mixture stand for few days This whitewash should be applied hot. Coloring matter, as Spanish brown, yellow ochre. red clay, etc, can be added if desired. The addition of crude car bolc acid, or cresol, is not recommended Such washes tend to darken with age and become unsightly. If you prefer to add germicide to the whitewash. you will find a combination of lime and sul- phur effica cious. The formula for such a wash appears later.
 Strain Liquids for Sprayers
 These whitewashes can be applied by sprayer or brush. However. when a sprayer is used, it is well to strain the liquid in order to prevent small particles of grit getting into the valves of the sprayer and interfering with it's proper operation With thin. smooth whitewash no difficulty will be experienced A thorough application of whitewash is an effective way to eradicate mites.
