COTTON SEEll.
How It may be Utilized an tbc Plantation—
Its -Nutritive Value ns Fond for Cattle-
Fertilizing Qualities—Mode cf Prepara
tion, *r. _ m
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
Thero is probably no article which has re
ceived less attention at the hands of our South
ern friends than cotton seed, and yet we know
of no article produced in such abundance, that
can bo turned to so many or such practical
good uses. The product is large, fnlly averag
ing two-thirds in weight of the whole cotton
crop, but until quite recently, the full value of
this article had uot been appreciated.
Considered ah food for cattle, as fertilizer, or
for making oil, the cotton seed has been proved
to be of inestimable value. In a relative rank
as to either of the commodities above mentioned,
it compares most favorably, and exceeds in
value any other substitute which we can find.
According to tho experiments of Lawes, the
distinguished English agriculturist, the manuro
derived from stock varies immensely in valne
according to the nature of tho food on which
tho stock is fed. Tho mannre of stock fed on
cotton seed stands first on his list, being more
than thirty times as valuable as the manure
from an eqnal weight of turnips, and four times
moro valuable than tho manure derived from
an eqnal weight in Indian com.
The following is Mr. Lawes’ table showing tho
actual gold value of the manure derived from
one ton (2,000 lbs ) of different foods.
Cotton seed (hulled), $27 86; rape seed cake,
$21 01; linseed cake, $19 72; malt dost,
$18 21 ; lentils, $15 61 ; linseed, $15 65; tares,
$15 75; beans, $15 75; peas, $13 38; locust
beans, $4 81; oats, $4 70; wheat, $7 08: In
dian com, $6 65; malt, $6 65; barley, $G 32;
clover hay, $9 64; meadow hny, $6 43; oat
straw, $2 90; wheat straw, $2 68; barley straw,
$2 25; potatoes, $1 50; marigolds, $1 07;
Swedish tnmips, 91 cents; common turnips,
86 cents; carrots, 86 cents.
These actual values are, of course, correct
only for England, but tho relative valtles aro of
universal application, anil for this reason this
tablo deserves to bo studied by every farmer.
The relative values seem to be closely connect
ed with the amount of nitrogenous matter con
tained in tho food.
Now, when wo consider that immense quanti
ties of cotton seed are wasted throughout tho
Sonth year after year, wo believe it is time for
tho planters to open their eyes to this valuable
commodity and utilize it either as food for their
cattle, mauure for their soil, or even for expor
tation if the circumstances are such as will not
permit of its use at home, but we would also
suggest that it is on the plantation itself that it
is most profitable, as its qualities for feeding,
and as manure, wo conceive, will bo more val
uable to the planter than to any one else. Many
persons suppose that cotton seed with the hull
is most valnable as manure, but this is uot so.
Late researches demonstrate that the oil con
tained in the kernel retards tho decomposition
of the seed, and consequently prevents the lib
eration of the phosphates which are contained
in the hnl 1 , just as the physicians inform ns
that the phosphates in the grain of wheat aro
contained in its hull. It, therefore, follows that
to fertilize properly and to the greatest advan
tage, the cotton seed hulls only are to be used.
The following is an analysis (which will be
found interesting on the subject) by Dr. Wayne,
of this city ;
VALUE OF i HLLED COTTON SEED COMPARED WITH
1IIAX OF COEN AND LINSEED (OB OIL CAKE) AS
A TOOD FOB CATTLE.
The vast amount of cotton seed annually pro
duced in the Sonth has not met tho attention as
to its importance as food for cattle that its value
for the purpose merits, being, as it is, a second
ary or incidental product. It has been in a
great-measure overlooked, and the staplo (Cot
ton) tho only product of the Cotton plant that
has been taken to account. And thus a vast
amount of valuable fodder has for years been
thrown away, partly from a want of knowledge
as to its adaptation as food, and from the want
of proper machinery for the hailing of it so as
to render it fit for use.
As to its value for tho purpose named, there
is no more conclusive way of showing or pro
ving the fact above mentioned, than by present
ing an analysis of the threo substances (corn,
oil-cake and Cotton 6eed), and comparing the
results and facts to be deduced from them.
The analysis of com is as follows—
Water 15.0
Gluten 11.9
Starch £9.0
Sugar .- 10

Fat 0.7

From tho above nnaljsis it is shown that cot
ton seed is a highly concentrated food, and is
richer in flesh producing elements than either
com or cake meal, but somewhat inferior to
com as a fat producer, but as a fat prodacer is
fully equal to linseed cake. The large amount
of oil in tho cotton seed must make it a valua
ble food for winter use, and in the use of it one
.point should not be overlooked,and that is over
feeding with such rich and concentrated food.
It should be given in proper proportions with
coarse fodder, and thus used. I can see no
reason why it may not be used to the exclusion
of com, and thus save and utilize what has been
up to the present, as it were, a waste product,
or one regarded as of little or no value, except
for the purposes of oil manufacture.
I would further say that the foregoing report
is based upon the hulled cotton seed, and will
not hold good for the nnhnlled seed, nor for the
cake of the nnhnlled seed, the husks of which
become impacted in tho intestines of the ani
mals fed with it, causing inflammation and
death, and is consequently unfit for food.
February 8, 1870. B. 8. Watne.
One of the principal drawbacks has probably
been the want of suitable machinery for tho
preparation of tho seed as food, but wo appre
hend that this was supplied by the invention of
Shaw’s Cotton seed huller, made by tho Dia
mond Mill Manufacturing Company, of this
city, which we notice was lately patented and
introduced to tho Sonth. From what wo un
derstand of the operations of this machine, it is
well adapted for tho work for which it is de
signed. It is claimed that it will hull and clean
from fifteen to eighteen bushels of Cotton seed
per hour It may be driven by steam or horse
power, and wo believe its cost is trifling; cer
tainly very small compared with the gains to
the planter. If we are correct in supposing that
this machine ia known in the South, we know of
no excuse that any planter can put forward for
the great waste witnessed in the neglect to ren
der Cotton seed as valuable at home as the
more important staple of Cotton is rendered
abroad, and the one should not receive all care,
while the other, which is highly valuable, should
be entirely neglected.
The Supply or Cotton.
In a careful review of the prospects of busi
ness among the manufacturers of Great Bri
tain for this year, the London Economist
points out the improvement in activity in Lan
cashire, and expresses great confidence that
food wiil continue moderate in price; that the
market for goods will be active, and that, ■ on
the whole, the revival of trade is but begin
ning. But there is another question of im
portance on !>;hich it confesses doubt:
But the second condition of manufacturing'
profit—a plentiful supply of cotton—is very
obscure. Such a supply cannot certainly be
relied on for the present year. The consump
tion last year, in bales of 400 pounds, was
2,347,000; ana as a third more was necessary
to give full employment to the mills, there
ought to be i prospect of thut addition, or of
800,000 bales more this year, to make Lan
cashire quite comfortable. But the most san
guine do not anticipate so much as this; and
so sudden an increase, especially without any
new stimulus in prices, is, in the highest dc-
greCj improbable. Possibly it may be said a
less increase will suffice—say,enough to main
tain the present comumptiuu of about 50,000
ba’es more this year than Lri. It will be
enough, it is thought, to save the mills in op
eration from esccsrivecompetition for thcraw
material.
We are not so sure of this, the temptation
to reopen the mills being very great; but as
suming it to be true, the chance of the requi
site number of bales being received depends
on two doubtful contingencies. Practically,
aS we explained in a recent article, we depend
upon America and India for our supplies, as
we get five-sixths o^ the total from them; but
there is doubt as to both fields. No one can
{ell with certainty what the last American crop
is. The officers of the Agricultural Bureau
calculate it at 2,750,000 bales, or 300,000 bales
more than the previous year, which is very
satisfactory, as we arc sure to get the bulk of
tho difference.
“Our imports from America, again, a3 we
have seen, already exceed by that amount the
imports at the same-datg last year. But this
is not enough for certainty. The motive of
price, as well as the forwardness of the crop,
would be quite sufficient to account for the
imports; and the official figures as to the crop
aro necessarily based on imperfect data. Ana
if there is mystery about America, there is
still more about India. According to all ac
counts, there is a larger area under crop
than there wa3 tho previous season; but the
weather nas been bad, and there is consider
able doubt whether we shall even get the im
port of last year, though it is also possible we
may get a good deal more. Thus, with the
American and Indian supplies both doubtful,
it would be very rash to teel confidence that
Lancashire will fully benefit by the improved
demand which has set in.”
The doubts of the Economist as to the In
dian supply (says the New York Evening
Post, commenting upon the above,) seem to
be entirely jus ! ified. A partial failure in that
quarter seems probable. But the sober stu
dents cf the subject for this countiy do not,
we think, entertain any fears that the esti
mate of our Agricultural Bureau will prove
materially excessive. There i3 every pros
pect that the planters of our Southern Slates
will have the control of the cotton market of
the world, at remunerative prices, for the
present, and that their control of it will only
become more and more exclusive with each
succeeding year.

FROM WASHINGTON. T
Special to the TeltlegrapK and M'ctsenger. j
Washington, February 22:—Tho President still
refuses to meddle in' the Georgia Senatorial ques
tion. He told Whitely, Farrow and Tift (?) yester
day,it . tras for the Senate to decide who should
have se&la. He also expressed the hope that Geor
gia would he admitted before the Fifteenth Amend
ment shall have been declared adopted!
The credentials of Whitely and Farrow were pre
sented iii the Semte, hut objected to by Drake as
in utter disregard of tho law. They were with
drawn, for the present. Dalton.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 23.—Drake's objection
to the credentials of Whitely and Farrow is believed
to be part of a plot against Hill and Miller. Drake
is. thought to have a perfect understanding with
Siajvart, who presented the credentials. The pith
of Drake’s objection is, that these credentials have
not the signature of the President of the Georgia
Senate, as required by law. If this objection is sus
tained, Hill and Miller's credentials being open to'
tho same objection they-.will not be.able, as the
Legislature now stands, to obtain the signature of
the President of the Senate. This view of the sit
uation causes some apprehension to the friends of
Hill and Miller here.
Bryant & Co. are pressing farther statements
for the enlightment of the Judiciary. Committee.
Georgia will have to submit to the same condi
tions as Virginia and Mississippi to bo admitted.
The Judiciary Committee arrived at no conclusion
in relation to Georgia to-day. - Dalton.
The Cotton Ontloolx.
The large increase in the receipts of cotton
at tho Southern ports over bst year is attracting
the attention of dealers and manufacturers on
both sides- of the Atlantic, constituting, as it
does, an element which may materially inter
fere with the calculations of speculators, by
whom tho market has come to be almost wholly
governed. Tho effect of this gain in receipts
is seen in the increased favor in which the max
imum estimates of tho crop are held, and the
gradual yielding in price. All parties have be-
corno exceedingly cautions, consumers and ex
porters operating upon a moro than usually
limited scale, in tho hopo or expectation of a
farther modification of values, while holders,
until the last few days, have offered sparingly,
on tho hypothesis that the good prices since the
opening of tho season may have drawn out a
greater portion of the crop than did those cur
rent to tho corresponding date last year. Tho
views of the latter appear to be strengthened by
tho India advices, which report serious dam
ages to tho crop in one of the principal Presi
dencies by heavy rains in December and Janu
ary, whereby it is estimated by Hritish authori
ties tho yield bids fair to bo cut short by about
100,000 bales. The Indian advices, however,
have been so frequently gotten up to order that
they are now received with liberal allowance.
There is a now feature, however, that must
be taken into consideration, in this connection.
The Indian crop bids fair to be marketed thia
year with a promptness hitherto unknown,
through the instrumentality of the Suez Canal.
Y/e learn by mail advices that a large number
of steamers aro now on their way out to Bom
bay from England via Suez, and that many of
them have accepted charters to return with cot
ton at tholowrate of -£3 10s.*pcr ton cf 40 cubic
feet, which makes it cheaper to ship by that
route than around the Cape. A return of cot
ton cnltivation in India for the year 18G9-’70,
gives the amount of land under culture as 5,-
494,438 acres, showing an increase ovor the pre
vious year of 17 per cent. Making duo allow
ance for losses by rains, there would teem to bo
good grounds for believing that tho crop will
equal that of last year. It is evident, from tho
position of the trado in both hemispheres, that
the policy of operatois daring the remainder of
the cotton year, will be one-of more than usual
caution. Jnst now, tho “bears” have the inside
track, through a combination of circumstances,
including the large receipts at tho ports. At
the close there was a disposition to sell for
April delivery, and the price for that month has
been forced down to 23^ cents, or lower than
for March.—JV. Y. Shipping and Commercial

THE REJECTED PUP.
Tbc President Learns that he is Worth One
Ilnndrcd Dollars—lie Orders Dent to In
terview n Colored Citizen.
Mack, in the Cincinnati Enquirer.]
Just as I was scratching my head for sub
jects of epistolary discourse this morning, a
friend cirne along with a face full of smiles,
and said he, “did you hear about that dog?’ 1
“What dog,” said
r 6l coiu I, thinking that perhaps
another pointer, of perchance a terrier, had
been sent to his Excellency. “Why, that
same dog that wa3 sent to the President from
Cleveland.” I replied that the last I had
kcard of the, unfortunate animal his fate hung
suspended between Barnum and Bologna, and
it was a question whether he should adorn a
museum or be converted into sausages. But
my friend immediately said I was mistaken.
It was very true that the President had
concluded at first not to receive that pointer,
and had sent him summarily irom his prem
ises. But since then one of his confidential
advisers, who was an experienced dog fancier,
had called on him and set forth the_ praises of
this Cleveland contribution in glowing terms,
told him he was an imported animal, worth
one hundred dollars, and that it was a great
mistake not to accept him t furthermore, that
th° express charge of tea dollars was an error,
all the cost of transportation having been pre
paid in full.
Tho President’s countenance was instantly
overcharged with the gloom of a conscious,
blunder; he saw at a glance that ho had acted
hastily in not receiving the dog, and his first
inquiry, on recovering hia self possession, was
as to how he could retrieve that false step.
Tho dog was now the property of a colored
citizen, and the occupant of an inverted dry
goods box in a back yard adjoining the White.
House grounds. Tho President directed Dent
to proceed thither and negotiate, if posable,
for the surrender of the animal on payment
of costs. . . , . ....
But the colored citizen, who is said to be an
excellent judge of dogs, was not ensily per
suaded into this arrangementand at last
accounts he and Dent were discussing the.
matter in a very animated and excited style ot
language. But Dent wa3 evidently gettmg

ANOTHER RIVER DISASTER.
Memphis, February 21.—Tbs steamer Emma,
hence for Cincinnati, was snagged at Island 35.
She burned and sunk. Twelve lives are reported
lost. No particulars. 5 A terrible galo prevailed, and
the weather was intensely cold. The Emma shipped

FROM CUBA.
Havana, February 22.—The Consul at Santiago
do Cuba, nnder date of January 3d, writes to the
Secretary of State that political affairs in that con
sular district aro in a most deplorable condition.
The assassination of citizens sent from that city by
order of Count Valmazcda, was nothing moro than
what is daily perpetrated. It is well known that
Yalmazeda aspires to the position of Captain Gen
eral of the Island, and in order to increaseliis popu
larity among the blood-craving Catalans wbo are
operating in his behalf, both in this island and in
Spain-, he gives important orders to make tills a war
of extermination, and wo daily learn of peaceful
citizens residing in the country, assassinated by the
mobilized Spanish troops.
These orders are probably carried to an extreme,
from tbo fact that those commanding such troops
are constantly supplying some Cuban produce deal
ers of this city, and whose object is to sack the
country and forward to their agents Buch portions
of crop as may fall into their hands. The planters
are persecuted to such a degree as to bo compelled
to fleo from their estates, .whoso crops aro imme
diately sequestered end appropriated to private
purposes.
Very little credit oan bo placed upon tbeKfipanish
Press, being a government organ, which maintains
that the insurrection is finished in this department,
which is far from the truth. The insurrection con
tinues in full force and frequent encounters take
place, as is seen by the frequent arrivals of wound
ed Spanish eoldiers.
The Cubans being better armed and disciplined
than formerly in many cases take the offensive,
and having had their number increased by deserters
from Spanish troops who find it impossible to en
dure tbo climate. It is estimated that 50 percent, of
tho Spanish volunteers from eickncss are put hors
du combat. Tho hospitals are full to overflowing.
It is impossible for any fonts Spain can send to ex
terminate tho rebel force, owing to tho climate and
typography of tho country, while both contending
parties destroy every vestigo of agriculture.
Havana, February 23.—A report was lately set
afloat here by Americans, that Captain FrankLcah,
of the fishing smack Fulton, had helped the assas
sin of Costauan to escape from Key West, and had
landed Col. Tinker in Cuba. On the arrival of his
vessel this morning, a party of mcnpntoffin a
boat, and rowing to tbo smack, called for tho Cap
tain and threatened his life. The latter, becoming
alarmed, took refuge on board tho British man-of-
war Eclipse. The men in tho boat, finding that tho
Captain had disappeared, all returned to shore
without molesting the crew of tho steamer.
Through tho efforts of tho now Consul, Gen. Big-
dell, they have since been quieted, and tho govern
ment has sent a guard to protect the Fulton.
General Fenner has arrived from Puerto Prin
cipe.
An effort to adjourn in honor of the day was de
