The SEED. The seed of the cotton plant

The SEED. The seed Of the cotton plant
is in itself by no means worthless material
Like fax and other seeds it contains large
per centage of oily matter, which can be ex.
tracted, and applied to useful purposes. Re-
cent experiments have shown that Cotton
seed oil, is one of the most valuable for both
illuminated and lubricating purposes. In
these respects it ranks equal to the best Sperm
oil but in calculations of its value, we shall
put it as equal to the cheapest grease in the
New York market.
Cotton seed when compressed, yields 80
per cent of oil and 70 per cent of old cake
Assuming the same data as before, the yield
of oil would then be as follows:
Total refuse of crop. ........3,733,0O0,000 lbs.
Clean seed, so per cent. 80. 229,oOO,ooo
OIL 80 per cent oflast amount 67l,94O,0oO
Oil cake 70 per cent. ........l 1867 7,86O,ooo
VALUES.
The cheapest grease offered in the New
York market now sells at ten cents per pound.
Assuming this to be the value of Cotton
seed oil and we have the following result,
67I, 100000 lbs. OF oil at 10 c..$67, $4,000
The value of this oil reduced to gallons
would be rs cents per gallon. The cheap
est lard oil in the Cincinnati market, at the
present time, is 80 cents.
Cotton seed oil contains the Stearic prin.
ciples of other vegetable and animal oils, and
is therefore suitable for the manufacture OF
star candles.
The residue after the extraction of the oil,
is oil cake, and is valuable for feed. Other
oil cake sells at one cent. per pound. We
shall estimate this at one half cent. per pound
Its value then is,
1857, 800, 900 lbs at &c. per ID. 1888, 300.
But there is another method by which the
oily matter of cotton seed may be extracted
which is more applicable to the purposes of
the manufacturer, as requiring less labor
and less mechanical outlay and Skill we re-.
fer to the method of chemical saponi6cation
recently invented by Edgar Conkling, Esq,
of this city. The advantages possessed by
this method are its simplicity and greater
production of oily matter. If this method
were universally adopted by Southern manu-.
facturers of soap, no portion of the world
could compete with the South in the manu-
facture of that article. 1t yet remains for
chemists to show whether the refuse of the
oil maker may not yield starch in abundance,
and valuable dye. We already know that
the present residum is an excellent manure.
CONCLUSION. 1t would seem then from the
considerations already mentioned, that we
annually waste 3,733 100000 lbs. of valua-
BILE vegetable products. the value of which
may be briefly summed up as follows:
Paper. ................ S59,72s,o0O
Oil .................... 67,I94,000
Oil cake. ............... 7,S39,300

TIE WHEAT CRop IN THE WEsr.-A
gentleman who has recently travelled through
portion of the West, states that, the wheat
crop looks we'll everywhere on fhe route.
Another, who arrived at Rochester, from a
western trip, states that in Ohio the crop is
exceedingly promising and unless some dis
aster occurs, very large crop is expected,
and prices must fall. In the Genesee coun-
try the prospect is very good.

Sow1Ne TURN1Ps.-Do not forget that
about the last of July or forepart of Au.
gust is good time to sow patch of com.
mon turnips. The soil for turnips should be
moist, rich and mellow. Ground where corn
has failed, or stands too thin will answer, if
clear of weeds and we'll stirred. Or a
piece of clean wheat stuble may be plough.
ed for the purpose; also patches in the gar.
den where peas or early potatoes have been
harvested. Turnip.seed is plenty aud cheap
in most stores where seeds are sold. 1t is
best to buy enough at once to re.sow with
in case dry weather or the fly should des.
troy the first sowing. The seed, if fresh,
will keep good for three OF four years.

Cow RELIEVED BY SURGERY.-The fol-

The case was stoppage, caused by the gen.

too many rotten apples. He says:
Finding all my efforts to remove the
difficulty, unavailing, and she growing worse
rapidly, called in the doctor above men.
toned, who very quickly decided that moth.
ing but tapping would save her, and with my
consent he made an incision directly into
the Rumen, or first stomach, just in front of
the hip upon the left side; and introducing
small tube, such an escape of gas took
place as would astonish even our modern
politicians. But the result was worth forty
dollars more than before the operation.
Those who witnessed the case, and some
were old farmers, pronounced the operation
entirely new to them.
