VL PORTLAND CEMENT. Ingredients Necessary In the Manu facture of This Product. By J. Shirley Jones, Chemist, Idaho Experiment Station. Moscow. From time to time the members of the experiment station staff are asked for information concerning the proper ties, composition, and methods of man ufacture of Portland cement These inquiries are usually answered by the station chemist. Below Is given a typi cal letter of inquiry on this subject, and following it is the reply given by the station chemist. Weiser, Ida., Feb. 28, 1908. I would like to know the Ingredient and process of making Portland cement. Is the body of clay or soapstone? I think I have the raw material. Please answer and oblige. A. W. A great deal of time and labor have been spent by various chemists in in vestigating the composition and prop erties of Portland cement. The con clusions drawn from these investiga tions are not alway concordant, but no one dissents from the view that the essential ingredients of this kind of ce ment are lime, silica and alumina. Other elements are always present, however, among them being magnesia, soda, potash, iron, phosphorus, man ganese, titanium, etc. According to Meade, good cements vary considerably in composition, but the three import ant ingredienst will run about as fol lows: Lime, 68 to 67 percent; silica, 19 to 25 per cent; alumina, 5 to 10 per cent; and magnesia is allowable to the extent of 3 to 5 per cent. The raw materials from which Port land cement is manufactured are classi fied as argillaceous and calcareous. Some common forms of the first are clay, shale, and slate, and of the latter limestone, marl and chalk. In these two classes of raw materials are found all the ingredients necessary in the manufacture of Portland cement. In the iron regions of Pennsylvania, how ever, blast furnace slag is made to re place the clay or shale. From what ever source the raw materials are ob tained, the cement manufacturer must see that they are so mixed that the product of calcination contains the im portant compounds mentioned above in the proportions that experience has taught are the ones necessary in a good cement. It becomes almost imperative then that the chemical composition of the raw materials should be known. Although the writer is not personally acquainted with the limestone regions of this state, it appears that there are at least two localities in Northern Ida ho where limestone is found in abund ance, and since clay is also present, at least in spots, in the same distriot, there seems to be good reason for be lieving that in the future a great deal of the Portland cement used in this state will be made at home.

This report deals with investigation carried on during the summer of 1900 in cooperation with the California Water and Forest Association. In ad dition to a review of the agricultural situation in the state, it presents a comprehensive diecusion of the water laws and customs under which irriga tion is practiced in California as typi fied by the conditions in Honey Lake basin and on Yuba river, Cache creek, 8alinas river, San Jeaquin river, Kings river, Los Angeles river, Sweetwater river and San Jacinto river. It de scribes the. methods and means by which water is diverted from these streams and used for irrigation and the indefinite and excessive appropriations of water and the resulting litigation, and discusses the evils resulting from absence of state control of streams. - Bulletin No. 105.

The Evolution of Household Remedies. rhe modern patent medicine busi ness is the natural outgrowth of the eld-time household remedies. In the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, compound ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, 'which was aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A score or more of popular, home-made remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated. The patent medicine business is a natural outgTowth from this whole some, old-time -custom. In the begin ning1, some enterprising doctor, im pressed by the usefulness of one of these home-made remedies, would take it up, improve it in many ways, manu facture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM. Feruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM POUNDER OF FERUNA, is of Men- nonite origin. First, h prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and fur nished it to the general drug trade. Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, Bore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF FERUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely on his remedy, Feruna. Giving; an Illustration.

In supplying that demand with Its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success.

"I reckon I'm guilty, j'r honor," snuf fled the leathery faced old vagabound who had been run in for drunkenness and gen eral worthlessnesa, "but it ain't my fault."

Every case of Rheumatism has 'its origin and its development in the blood. It is not a disease which is contracted like a cold, but it is in the blood and system before a pain is felt, and the changes in the weather.or any physical irregularities, such as a spell of indigestion, bowel disturbance, etc., are merely the exciting causes producing the pains and aches, which are the natural symptoms of the disease. Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid and other corrosive, irritating poisons in the blood, which are carried through the circulation to every part of the system. Every muscle, nerve, membrane, tissue and joint becomes saturated with thesa acrid, irritating impurities, or coated with fine, insoluble caustic matter," and the sharp, 'piercing pains or the dull, constant aches are felt with every physical movement. When the Mood is filled with uric acid poison, perma nent reUef cannot be expected, front liniments, plasters, or other external treatment. Such measures give temporary relief, but in order to conquer filieuMiaysm ana onng. anouia, complete cure, the uric acid and other inflammatory matter must be expelled, andf ttrS cannot be done with external treatment, S.
