Among several interesting displays of

long time friend, MIR. A. Dclpit, one of the

more than usual interest, as l had just
read in a city paper that nearly all the

Of various degrees of fineness, which set
me to rejecting how little is generally
known of the great value Of cotton seed,

food for his live stock, and thcn for manu-
