COTTON SEED OIL.
From ElIswoIth's Report for 1914
The following account Of Gotten ST. ;.

is not improbable, there fore, that cotlon.nLa
tiers may rejoice to find an article Of 50 IT'LL

was received too late for reference in ,bo
report.
The seed Of the Sea island or hng starb eo+.
ton weighs about 10 lbs. to the busiip. As
1t is less coated with fibre, the yield Of oil 10
the bnshel will be considerably gr, alter than
that.of the upland; but am unab?t TO say what
1t Is. AS the two kinds are only varieties CT
the same plant, it IS presumed that there is no
uillt1ItHCt III me oil from the Two,
l. Practically considered, the Sea~islnd cot.
s4on seed may he put out Of the question, from
ltsssllmltcd production, and the value on it by
/ planters as manure.
From the experiment made on a large scale
at Natchez, the oil from upland cotton seed
was found, when well refined, 10 barn as we'll
as spermaceti; it made also an excellent paint
oil. There was however much difficulty in
refining it, & so much ". ste in accomplishing
it as to render the manufacture Improbable.
The process employed were such as were then
used in the Netherlands, France, and in A,
melica; but none Of them was satisfactory,
| There is every reason 10 expect that thu greI
! Improvements and discoveries now ~ KING in
organic chemistry will soon supply satlsaclc-

AS there are 80 bushels Of seed 10 every
bale cf cotton, each bale will yield at least Is
gallons cf crude oil, nd $50 lbs. of oil cake.
If the oil can be made to BE- worth 50 CENTS
per gallon, and the cake be sold only lorl

Through the greater part Of the western
country, the SEED is absolutely thrown away
as the lands a1e two rich to be mannrpd. The
oilc@ke from cotton seed has l. !. extensively
used by No as feed for horses. cattle, and
sheep, and was found to be excellent. Ii may
he used with equal advantage VITA r0pe-cahc
tor TODD or manure.
Upland or Sea-lsland cotton seed may he
obtained from ny Of the factors il Charl, ston
or Savannah.
No difficulty exists in huling, tompering or
expressing the oil. The Eu!Itr Of f1let &
SmlfA Of Petersburg, Virginia, acconpIi,hts
he first very efftctualy. 1T the rate cf a
bushel Of kernels in four or five minutes; and
the machinery employed in French Flanders
Tor rape-s, ed, &c. answers perfectly for cot

The present low prices of cotton will pre-
senisa sufficient inducement to planters 10 save
AND the seed at reasonable prices; ana 1t
is befleved that, if a cheap and effective mode
of refining the oil can be discovered, this
branch Of manufacture will become one Of We.
