The future of Bean Cake in Japan as a fertilizer might
not look glowing, but, allowing for the eventual development
 of the industry of recovering fixed nitrogen from air,
what gap may be created in demand for Bean Cake as
manure is believed to be amply made up for with an increasing
 demand as fertilizer.
The quality of Bean Cake, characterised with a high
nutritive value, commends itself as material for manufaeture
 of some wholesome, palatable food. Plainly, by
improving the existing process of separating the oil from
Beans, and by rationalizing the way to work upon the Bean
residue, new higher utilities of Bean residue may be
devised. Actually, in all Western countries, the ablest
chemists have the subject under a concentrated study, and

the triumphs of science in this direction are being published
on Oceasion.

The chemists have taken note of the protein in the
Bean residue being the cheapest of its kind obtainable, and
the manufacture of protein products on the base of the
Bean res'due is being experimented upon energetically.
In this new field, too. as science advances further, new
uses for the Bean residue seem certain to be invented.
Thus, the Bean residue will have its utility extended
from fertilizer and cattle-feed to: food and industrial
material, that promise stupendous possibilities.
