Potash From Mill Dust.

Extraction of potash from the dust from cement manufacture is claimed as a possibility. James D. Rhodes, a Pittsburgh manufacturer, made the discovery, and at his own expense has arranged to erect a large experimental plant adjoining the plant of a cement company at Castalia, 0., for the purt pose of experimenting for 120 days. Mr. Rhodes said he could extract from the dust and waste of the cement mills large quantities Of potash for fertilizer that will be of great benefit to the country in increasing the supply.
