be made. The percentage Of nitrogen
may be low. but some nitrogen should
be supplied for the use Of the young
plants before they become %inoculated
and are able to secure their supply
from the air. On most clay soils
heavy applications of potash have
not been profitable. A combination
which has been commonly recon-
mendod is muriate Of potash - to 1Hl
pounds, acid phosphate $50 to 800
pounds, and nitrate of soda so TO 70
pounds. The cheapest and most
satisfactory method by which the con
INT may obtain such combination Is
to purchase the desired ingredients
and mix them himself in tl.eir proper
proportions.

ANTHRACN0sE OF RASPBERRY
Good Remedy Is to Cut Out All In.
Tested Canes Immediately After
Harvesting.

The remedy for anthrac nos is to
cut out all old n and all badly in.
tested young canes Immediately after
the raspberry harvest. The canes
should be burned as soon as they are
dry enough. In addition to this 1t may
perhaps pay to spray with bordeaux
mixture several times during the
spring.

tons OF coal were used.
Because of the enormous demands
for war materials modern by-product
ovens were constructed and in 1919
more than 81 per cent OF urscoke sup
ply came from these ovens. 1t is esti-
mated that for every ton of coke made
in modern by-product ovens there is
saved in fuel alone 825 pounds of coal.
When a householder burns a ton of
coal he has sacrificed something like
ll,OOO cubic Feet of gas, nine gallons of
tar, twenty-five pounds OF ammonium
sulphate, 2.08 gallons OF pure benzol
and 0.56 gallons of pure toluol.
In ou industrial life the use of coal
derivatives is just beginning to be felt.
rhe rubber industry depends upon
1Glese products for solvents, COM
pounding ingredients and softeners.
Practically all types of paint now use
shoe polishes, brake Innings, dry clean
ers, perfumes, explosives, linoleurns,
CLUES, pastes and Photographic de-
velopers, contain coal products as
basic ingredients. The paper industry,
the soap business, and the shoe manu-
facturer would be in serious difficulties
without the by-products of coal tar.
The electrical industry would lose its
chief souSee OF insulating material and
the doctors and druggists would be-
without a sufficient supply of phcnol
to make their supply OF everyday
drugs.
Coal tart he refuse OF ancient vege-
table kingBus, is valuable because it
produces a GALAXY Of brilliant %colors,
not so much for the colors themselves
but because in producing them so
many Intermediates are developed that
are of inestimable worth to the indus
erial, life of the nation.

Dy JOHN

In the dim ages of history when MAJ
first felt the desire for beauty, trader!
searched the world for dyestuffs,. jSw'
els, perfumes, spices and pretiou!
woods. The risk Of these voyages wa.
great. and only princes or MOBILES could
afford the fruits Of ventures to the ia,
corners Of the world. No man o.
humble origin could aspire, to the rich
crimsoned linen, the Royal Purple Of
ancient Tyre, retailing at 5000 . pound
Royal Purple IS an age-old insignia
of aristocracy. This dye was secfeted
by a small shellfsh on the Eastern
coast of the Mediterranean and here
the .enterprising merchants of Tyre
formed q dye monopoly equaled only
by the German Cartel.
: A bit of the whitish liquid secreted by
this mollusk, II spread upon a cloth
and exposed to the air and sunlight
turns FIRST green, next blue and then
purple. If washed with an alkali soap
It becomes the magnificent Crimson
worn by the Cardinals and Princessof
the Catholic Church. Tyrian purple
vanished from the marts Of the world
with the fall Of Tyre.
Synthetic chemistry learned the Sc
cret Of making Royal Purple as, in
deed, it learned to manufacture indigo,
the same deep blue that may be seen
today in museums, the winding sheets
of Egyptian mummies. 1t was an
achievement to snatch It's distinctive
color from royalty and to rival the
best vegetable indigo of the an
clients but modern chemistry has
gone far beyond that. Today any kind
of dye found in nature can be made in
the laboratory. Indeed, among the 900
shades and colors being manufactured
there are tints that it would be diff
cult to discern In The rainbow.

The Primrose Cream Sepa-

on earth with cream - never
wastes a drop. Equipped with
two cream outlets instead of

The Primrose separator skins
