Oil Mills and Cotton Seed Producers.
M. C. Fitzsimmons, of Charleston, S. C.,
has a rather interesting and valuable arti
cle in tho Country Gentleman on oil mills
and cotton seed producers. He says: Mr.
Baldwin’s article shows a practical appre
ciation of the value Of /cotton seed, and I
feci thut he, like myself, is only seeking for
the truth about the advantages and disad
vantages of oil mills to the cotton seed pro
ducers.
As this question must be discussed from
every man’s point of view, I bog to lay some
figur es before him for his examination, and
would also like Prof. Stewart to state, after
examining my figures, if they do not show,
not only that the mills are a help to tho
whole South (since tho gross value of a ton
of seed is doubled by being put into its pro
ducts), but that the terms offered to the
planter by the mills indicate a direct benefit
to him. As I am not familiar with the
prices offered and asked for cotton seed and
its products in Mr. Baldwin’s territory, I
will give those ruling in this (Georgia, North
and South Carolina) for the last year, when
the price of seed was lower than in previous
years (on account of the American Cotton
Oil Trust monopoly), and Mr. Baldwin can
reduce the figures to his position to the mills.
I leave out all allowance for a middleman,
for any planter who raises 25 bales of cotton
produces 12 tons of cotton seed, which is a
carload; consequently he can deal directly
with the manufacturer.
Now for fucts as to cotton seed. In every
ton of 2,000 lbs. of clean seed there are 1,000
lbs. of hulls and 1,000 lbs. of kernels Dr.
Dabneys agricultural report, State of North
Carolina, 1882). After tho oil is extracted,
there remain about 700 lbs. of cake or meal.
The average analysis of cottonseed, per ton,
is: Ammonia, 3 percent.; phosphoric acid,
1 per cent.; potash, 1 per cent. The average
analysis of meal, per ton, is: Ammonia,
per cent.; phosphoric acid, 3 per cent.; pot
ash, 2 percent. So that, in round numbers,
it takes, mechanically, three tons of seed to
produce one ton of meal, and scientifically
we have it proved that one ton of meal con
tains (in round numbers) threo times as
much of ammonia, phosphoric acid and pot
ash as one ton of seed. (The slight varia
tion, mathematically, in the above is due to
the variation in the condition of the mill
machinery in process of manufacturing.) I
do not think it necessary to “split hairs”
with Mr. Baldwin, and am sure he will agree
that the above statements are sufficiently
accurate for practical purposes. That the
plant food power of the seed has not been
decreased, lies in the fact that the oil and
hulls contain but a decimal amount of am
monia, phosphoric acid and potash per ton
of seed.
Now with tho above facts before us, I will
take the prices ruling for seed, meal and
hulls, in carload lots at the planter’s station,
consequently from his point of view. The
price for seod was 810 per ton (2,000 lbs.);
for hulls, 84 per ton; for meal, $23 per ton.
Now if he sells his seed for $lO per ton, one
half of which is hulls (I,OUO lbs.) and he can
buy those hulls for $2 per 1,000 lbs., is he not
buying his hulls back for just one-half of
what he has been paid for them? Again,
he gets S3O for throe tons of seed, and buys
all the meal they produce (one ton) for $23.
Would not this give him his seed, sacked,
ground and cooked, and $7 in addition,
which would be the price of his hulls?
Lastly, he gets $lO for one ton of seed, buys
all the meal it will produce for $7 66 (one
third of $23), and all the hulls it produces
for $2, making a total of $0 66; so that if
ho wishes both the hulls and meal returned,
the oil that the mill has secured has paid the
transportation both way’s and the expense
of manufacturing, thereby saving him both
labor, time and money outlay in machinery.
Furthermore, if he will calculate what he
loses in weight by evaporation by holding
his seed for home consumption, he will find
that this item alone would pay for the haul
ing to tho station.
Again, if he is going to use the meal di
rectly as a fertilizer, he can apply it to tho
soil for one-third of the cost of applying the
crude seed, with no risk of hurting tho
“stand” of his crop by “sprouting.” And
let me say that if every planter will take his
hulls back at the price he has been paid for
them, I believe every mill would be willing
to add one-half of that amount to the origi
nal price paid for his seed.
I believe 1 am sustained in the following
opinions by tho agricultural stations: That
when the whole seed or kernel is fed to ani
mals, a large part of the oil passes through
them without their deriving any direct ben
efit therefrom; that the meal is considered
preferable, not only’ because it hus been
cooked, hut also because the oil cells having
been broken and a portion of tho oil taken
away, it is in a better available condition as
a food.
I will also state that if he (tho planter
generally) persists in thinking that the oil
is something of a fertilizer, them is from 10
to 13 per cent, of oil left in the meal. Now
of the throe things that he uses as a fer
tilizer, knowing them to 1)0 plant food,
phosphoric acid Is the largest quantity he
purchases in any one ton of fertilizers, ami
he seldom gets over 10 to 12 percent, of that
to the ton.
Tho establishment of mills by the South
ern Cotton (lil Company is an assn ns 1 fact,
ns I know that they are now erecting eight
mills between Texas and North Carolina.
* "nipetition is likely to be very brisk, so
Bmt tlie figures of the coming season, on
'he basis of tho above calculations, will
prove much more beneficial to tho planters.
How to Make the Soil Productive.
Hie necessity of humus in tho soil cannot
be too strongly presented and urged upon
ihe .Southern farmer. Hir J. B. Lawos, of
Hothnmsted, Eng,, after forty years of me
fh'dieal experiments for nitrogen has about
' ’’■'eluded that there is enough in all soils if
it is freed so it can got to work.
Mr. A. P. Sharp, Kent county, Md., has
f "‘S entertained a contempt for purchased
nitrogen, and by an experience of twenty
Voirs has demonstrated that humus in any
nn will free it in the soil by mechanical
“' lion. He uses anything that will furnish
mins and prefers a crop of weeds growing
t* Plow under to plowing, clear land.
Terry, of Kununit county, one of
no a very best, most successful farmers,
manelally, has proved the correctness of
theory by his use of clover, having
I* “wis| under crop after crop, groen, on his
I* 1 "!’ HI" career as a farmer, his balance in
**snk, put therefrom money made on tho
“■'m, all go to show the lament of humus.
‘Te in my own county there Is a plants
II ui the lands of which a heavy crop of
u allowed to grow every year, half
the land being in crops, the other half in
weeds, and I liavo never known a crop to
fail on that farm; neither hus there been
any commercial fertilizer bought. There is
no soil here in Georgia humus will not bene
fit. Anything, old decayed logs, leaf mold,
muck, pond scrapings, weeds plowed under,
are all good, but better still are cowpea
vines. If the farmers will rotate bo as to
have their land iu cmvpeas every third year
and turn under the crop green when in full
blossom, in a few years their acquaintance
with mortgages will bo less intimate and
they can sell cotton for cash. It is easi-lv
done. Say we start with tho “Branch” field
this year in cotton, next year in corn, that
fall in oats. Tho oats are off in May or
June, then sow two bushels of peas to the
acre immediately, plow them under iu the
fall and by March your land is in good fix
to plant cotton again. While this rotation
is being conducted in tho “Branch” field tho
other fields are to be treated tho same way,
starting the system witli any crop you please.
Understand I do not mean it must lie cotton,
corn and oats, but any three crops the fann
er is planting; neither do 1 mean that this
is all the manuring he needs. Manure all
you can, save all your pen and stable manure
to go in the drill each year for each and
every crop; gather all the trash and muck
you can from woods and ponds, compost
this with kainit, then mix in your stable
manure with it, use thi3 every year, but be
sure once in three years to get that crop of
pea vines in your soil. It will free the ni
trogen, allow it to work and place your soil
where it was when first cleared up.
The economy of the plan will commend it
to every thinking farmer. He broadcasts
his land in a manure which he knows is good
for about s3—tho cost of plowing,two bush
els of peas and turning under the vines.
Can he buy any fertilizer for $3 which will
broadcast an aero?
Mr. Terry, on tho clay lands of Ohio, has
proved this theory to bo true. Mr. Sharp,
on the sand lands of Maryland, has done the
same; and Sir John of Rotliamsted, from
deductions from tho experiments of 1886,
gives Mr. Sharp credit for the sense of the
theory that seeking to purchase nitrogen is
a poor way to get it, and acknowledges the
value of humus.
If the average farmer is doubtful let him
take one acre, plant it next month in peas
and oats in the full, and continue this for
three years, then plant any crop he wants
to on that acre, without any manure what
ever, and he will see what humus has done
for him.
By this use of peas, oats —one of tho most
exhaustive crops —can be grown year after
year, with an improvement in yield each
crop on the same land. Much better, then,
must it be to rotate.

Pear Trees and Blight.
While there appears to bo no remedy as
yet discovered, says the New York Star,
which can be relied on as a cure for the
blight in pear trees, there are many theories
advanced by horticulturists in regard to it.
Downing attributes the disease to a minute
fungus which first attacks tho bark and,
penetrating inwardly, destroys the cell
structures, thereby causing the death of tho
tree. He says that these fungoid spores
must be destroyed before any hopes can be
entertained of saving the life of tho tree,
and which can best be done by washing the
affected parts with anything that will ac
complish the object—not merely applying
the same superficially, but thoroughly work
ing it into the pores by means of a paint
brush, pure linseed oil being about the best
for the purpose.
Another authority attributes the disease
to atmospheric causes, combined, probably,
with the state of the soil, and prescribes as
a remedy the application of salt to the roots.
Another, that it is caused by a superabun
dance of nitrogen in the soil, the only way
of preventing tho activity of which is to
increase the mineral elements in proportion;
the application of wood ashos being proba
bly as good as anything else.
Others, again, attribute tho disease to a
small insect which, penetrating to tho cam
bium, causes the tree to wither and die, and
advises washing the body and larger branch
es of the tree with strong soapsuds contain
ing a little carbolic acid.
In fact, our best authorities differ very
much in their modes of treatment. Tho
theory that comes nearest our own ideas on
the subject is, that tho disease is eausod by
a lack of some mineral constituent in the
soil which, from the continual drafts made
upon jt by the tree, has become exhausted,
and which can he best supplied by top
dressings of lime, ashes and a little salt, to
gether with some good rich compost; or, in
fact, anything that w’ill furnish food for the
tree—not forgetting tho free use of the cul
tivator in incorporating the same well with
the surface soil.
Menelaa’ Poultry Farm.
The Southern Cultivator says that the
poultry department will be a special feature
of the newly-organized plantation of Mr. C.
Mencius, at Brookhavcn, Miss. It will bo
under the control and management of an
experienced and efficient person familiar
with all its details and needs. Tho cfiickens
are to be handled in colonies of twelve hens
and one rooster to a yard. Each colony is
provided with a suitable house, is separate
and distinct from all other colonies, and
while the tenor fifteen colonies mingle freely
with each other during the day, at dark each
colony retires to its own home for the night.
The young chicks, as they are hatched, will
lie taken from tlicir mothers and cured for
by a hen who will mother from sovonty-flvo
to one hundred, while the real mother will
soon begin to lay again. By this method it
is hoped to keep most of tho hens laying or
sitting nearly tho whole year through.

Potato Dumplings. —Form cold mashed
potatoes into small mounds by pressing them
into a small-sized cup. Place on the top of
each a bit of butter and buko until hot all
through and well browned.
Sliced Beets.— Do not prick or cut tho
skin in any way, for if this he done they
lose color. Put into baling water and bill
two hours. Peel and slice, and seuson with
salt, pepjier and tnlilesisxmful of melted
butter. Serve very hot.
Chicken Pie Crust.—One egg, six tahle
spoontuls of melted butter, one cupful of
sweet milk, two cupfuls of flour, three to.i
siKsuifuls of baking powder. This makes
just enough for a pie made of one chicken.
After the chicken is cooked, put it, with
gravy slightly thickened, into an earthen
baking-dish; stir the ingredients mentioned
above together and spread over the chicken.
Kcuppernono Grape Jelly.—Squeeze

Farm Notes.
In a series of experi meats made by the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station on
cabbage worms, the most efficacious remedy
was found to be a mixture of one ounce of
pyrethrum with buckwheat flour.
The product of swine cun bo preserved a
longer time in a delectable condition than
tho meat of any other animal. No other
kind of meat with six months age will re
tain the delicious flavor of a choice sugar
cured ham. This is a big point iu favor of
pork-raising.
In sowing seeds t it is well to remember
that though tho soil should be deep and
finely pulverized, yet a loose condition is
unfavorable to good growth. After the
seeds are sown a heavy rolling would be a
great advantage. This practice, though
often pursued in farm crops, is seldom ex
tended to garden work.
Nature has created in swine an appetite
for roots, and lias as nil aid to their procur
ing this variety of food providing them with
means for digging them up. Roots are good
for liogs, e-peciimy in the winter when the
grass is dead. Tho sugar beet is one of tho
best of tho cultivated roots for hogs; it is
easily grown; is a largo yielder, and will
contribute to health and growth.
The best whitewash we have over had
knowledge of is composed of lime slacked
to the proper consistency for application,
into which (for inside work) while hot mix
a starch made from half a pound of flour,
or two ounces of common white glue, thor
oughly dissolved. For outside work add to
the above preparation a handful of rock salt
and as much soft boiled rice. This will
“stick - ’ with unexampled certainty.
“I have .used during two years past,” says
a correspondent iu Husbandman, “water
impregnated with gas tar for the purpose of
destroying the Colorado beetle on my po
tato vines. It lias proved more efficacious
than pans green and has been used with
equal effect upon my currant bushes. Two
quarts of gas tar to a pailful of water are
the proportions used and the vines or bushes
are sprinkled by means of a watering-pot.”
Green ducks is tho term applied to young
ducks under three months old, and they are
considered great delicacies, being superior
to game in some respects. They do not
reach the market in large numbers as yet,
hut the demand is increasing every year.
They weigh about eight pounds per pair,
and are fattened well before being shipped
to market.
A school for horseshoers would add thou
sand of dollars to the value of horses.
While the blacksmiths and horseshoers are
familiar with the work of shoeing, anil un
derstand the quality of the shoes, yet a largo
majority of them are In ignorance of the
structure of the hoof. Shoeing has become
an art, and there is much to learn in that
respect.
Twenty years ago the poultry on farms
received but little attention, being allowed
to roost on trees in severe weather, and to
pick up subsistence wherever it could lie
found. At the present day there is a large
amount of capital invested in poultry houses
and yards, while a large proportion of the
tarred paper and wire netting manufactured
is sold to poultrymen for use in coops and
for fencing. There are several poultry
houses in this country that cost from $2,000
to SIO,OOO.
The great importance of water to fruits
is inferred from the fact that 1,000 pounds
of apples just from the tree contain 831
pounds of water; grapes, 830 jx*unds; straw
berries, 802 pounds; plums, 838 pounds;
pears, 831 pounds; cherries, 825 pounds.
Fruits, excepting the seeds, contain but a
small percentage of nitrogen, potash, soda,
lime, magnesia, phosphoric acid, sulphuric
acid or silicic acid.
R. H. M., of Edgefield, Ky., W’rites: I
have an old pear tree, on which, four years
ago, I budded a Keiffer pear. The bud, at
the base, is two inches in diameter, eight
feet in length and has eight branches, the
longest branch being four feet. Last year
it bore aboui forty’ pears. This year, by
careful count, it has two hundred and sixty
five large pears. Some clusters on a single
branch and iu a space of one feot have
twenty-two pears averaging half a pound.
It is the greatest curiosity in protlicaey that
I ever saw in the pear line, far excelling the
LeConte, and is the most lieautiful pear,
being a clear lemon yellow with a bright
red cheek. One specimen last y’ear weighed
eighteen ounces. Some specimens will sur
pass it this year. It ripens in October.
Popular Science.
Mr. W. August Carter has been observing
the habits and methods of fish, and has come
to the conclusion that they are an “intelli
gent, ingenious and crafty race.” He is con
vinced that they are capable of understand
ing and being understood by one another,
and that they give warning of danger to
each other.
Prof. Ferdinand Cohn, in a paper on “Vi
tal Questions,” considers that wehavosolved
the riddle of life, inasmuch as wo have
grasped tho mechanism and tho physical
and chemical forces that set it in motion.
But, as we still have to face other phenom
ena ami active forces, tho full solution of
tho problem is yet far deferred.
Cassell's Magazine refers ton now kind
of glue for joining leather belts which has
recently been introduced. Its tenacity may
be gathered from the statement that a joint
in a four-inch single belt, recently tested,
broke in the leather clear of the join with a
stress of 2,174 pounds, which is at the rate
of 2,800 pounds on the square inch of section
of the belt. The formula is not given.
Salt brine is used in Sheffield, Kng., for
hardening steel, says an exchange. Tho
mixture improves with ago and use, and to
such uu extent that its value is largely in
creasod. In some eases these tanks are fifty
years old and have a value in proportion to
tlieir age. It appears that tho constant dip
ping of the hot metal into the same solution
alters in some way its character.
Dr. R. VY. Shufeldt has recorded an inter
esting; study of a case of the repair of the
bill of u raven after it bad been shot off.
The ball had carried away the upper hill
just forward of the nostrils. The bone had
grown again so as to cover the injury, and
tho horny covering, following suit., liad in
eased the stump formed by tho bone. Tho
result of Nature’s surgery in the case was
that the injured part wus left in such con
dition thut tlu; danger of subsequent inflam
mation was avoided, while the form of tho
resulting stump was us useful a one us could
jxissibly be expected to follow after a wound
of such a character.
An international cremation conference is
to be held in Milan in September of this
year. Among the questions to which its
attention will ho brought will be those of
legislation concerning thoß unxportation of
liodies from one country to another; crema

esis'eial reference to hygiene and legal med

“Tnbaaheor” is a peculiar stoneor mineral
found in the shuns of certain bamlioos. It
resembles an opal ami seems to hear the
same relation Vo the mineral kingdom that
pearls and amlicr do. From time immemo
rial it has enjoyed a high reputation in
Eastern countries for medicinal virtues,
like those of the fossil teeth of China and
the heletnnitos ("thunderbolts”) of this
country. Tho bamboos which produce it
contain a clear greenish liquid, which on
standing yields a whitish sediment. The
stone is believed to Is- produced from tins
liquid and is commonly found in hamliooH
which rattle on being shaken. When tuba
sheer is simply whetted it becomes opaque,
but clear mid transparent when soaked in
water. It consists chiefly of silica, i*>tusli
anil water, and thus resembles the opal iu
composition as well as 1m appearance.
