We were shown by Mr.. Stillwell, of Linn
county. few days ago, sample of cotton
cloth, which was manufactured by a lady
of that county the past winter. from cotton
raised there last summer. It was fully
equal. III strength and texture. to the same
grade of cloths that are imported from the
East, the product of Southern raised cot
ton. Mr.. Stillwell had also some samples
of the raw material of which this cloth was
manufactured, which was very fine and
white. He informs US that number OF
farmers in that locality raised small patches
of that crop last year, and are going more
extensively into the cultivation of it this
year. There certainly was no difference
between the samples he showed US and
what we buy at the stores, unless, perhaps,
it be in favor of the home produced article
What difference there may be in the guam
tity and profit of the product, remains to
be tested by actual experiment: but what
ever that may prove, it has already been
demonstrated that this crop may be grown
in nearly all parts of Kansas, with much
greater profit than either corn or wheat.
Mr.. s. E. Thompson, communication from
whom we published last week. has tried il
here for several consecutive years, and tes-
titles that upon a close computation, his
cotton crop last year yielded at the rate OF
eighty dollars per acre. If one experiment,
even, were to result in such return as that,
we might safely count upon at least hall
that every year, which would be very
large increase of profit in favor of cotton,
over every other agricultural crop now rails
ed in Kansas.-Iopeka Record.

formed from two ordinary spools, and without
winding from the spool into a shuttle from three
to five times for tho under thread.
5. A seam thus formed is more elastic than
any other made by sewing machine, and is
consequently very valuable in all goods that are
to be washed and stretched under the iron.
6. The machine is adapted to all varieties of
fabrics, serving each equally well, and requiring
no adjustment for any kind of sewing, other
than the adaptation of needles and thread.
Z. 1t is more easily kept in order than any 9TH
