THE NICOTINE SUPPLY. 



The unique value of nicotine as an 

 insecticide has largely increased the 

 demand for it. In consequence, great- 

 er attention is being paid to the cul- 

 ture of the tobacco plant, which re- 

 mains the only source of this alkaloid. 

 So much is this the case, that in Swit- 

 zerland the plant is now cultivated 

 solely for its nicotine, and an example 

 is afforded of what was formerly an 

 unimportant by-product becoming in its 

 turn the principal manufacture. Nico- 

 tine is present only in traces in the 

 young seedlings, but the amount in- 

 creases steadily as growth takes place, 

 until about the middle of September 

 the leaves contain nearly five per cent 

 of the alkaloid. At this stage the crop 

 is gathered. The leaves only are used 

 for the extraction of the nicotine, the 

 rest of the plant being wasted. Ee- 

 cent analyses of this residue indicate 

 that a good deal of valuable alkaloid is 

 thrown away, the stalk and roots both 

 containing nearly one-half of one per 

 cent of nicotine, and there is as much 

 as 1.27 per cent in the lateral shoots. 

 Some simple process of extracting the 

 alkaloid from the waste product is re- 

 quired, which at the same time leaves 

 the residues available as fertilizers. 

 The history of efforts to increase the 

 amount of a particular substance in a 

 plant by careful selection encourages 

 the hope that similar success will at- 

 tend the efforts now being made with 

 nicotine. J 



Ishpeming, Mich. — Trebilcock Bros, 

 are having materials delivered at their 

 Deer Lake property for the erection of 

 a range of greenhouses. The houses 

 will be completed by the end of sum- 

 mer and will be used for the growing 

 of vegetables, in which the firm will 

 specialize at the Deer Lake range. 

 Buildings will also be constructed for 

 a hennery, and in a short time, it is 

 said, "several thousand chickens will 

 be doing lousiness in the production of 

 eggs. ' '
