THE COTTON SEED QUESTION.

lie So1 Ao1N = oEEd SSOENI L 1o1N.
The Subordinate Oranges in the Cotton
States should give special attention to the
cotton seed question. A standing COM
mittee should be charged specially with
its consideration. The present system OF
carrying on this traffic is simply suicidal
to the farmer. The oil companies estab-
lish the prices, which are not one fourth
the real value of the Seed, as well as every
rule and regulation that governs the bust
ness, to suit themselves. The farmer sub
mits to these exactions something like the
sheep in the hands of the shearer: he does
not even open his mouth to complain.
This system has enriched the shrewd oil
companies, while it has robbed both the
farmer and his soil of their substance.
The oil companies pay from 81 to Sc
per ton for the seed. The farmer is Grim
inally sholt-sighted and foolish who ac.
cepts less than SIS per ton, and does his
land great injustice when he parts with ii
at any price. .af 7Tat
The subject properly discussed in the
Grange, would soon open the eyes of the
farmers to the real value of their cotton
seed. Now is the time to take up this
question. nAr| .t

GOOD ADVICE.

There is an old adage which says, 4hunt
for your money where you have lost it. y
The lesson is plain. Every effect has an
adequate cause. The point we would now
argue is this: In various sections there are
Subordinate Oranges which seem to have
lost their vitality, and are drifting along,
apparently without motive. Others are
successful only in one thing: it may be in
building up strong ties of friendship and
personal appreciation; others in stimula-
ting a wide range of reading, thought and
discussion; and others still in promoting
material interests by experiment, by CO.
operative sale of produce, or by wholesale
purchase of commodities.
Not only these half-developed societies
but the best working Grange may be made
still better. The inference is to ascertain
the cause of the present condition, and al
once proceed to remove it. Fix your stan
dard, make out your programme, anc
work up to it. 1t may take time. There
will be many ydiscouragements; many will
be slack to take hold. Unite with re
quisite number. to build up worthy
Grange. Devise ways that are interesting
still keeping in view. that the Order is tt
build up as well as amuse. lnfuse YOU
own zeal and activity into the others
Give each one something to do to promote
the amusement, instruction and good o
all the rest. Don't let the work drag
Meet on time, begin on time; be pleasan
and helpful all the time and there will b
no such word as fail Grange Bulletin.

1t is to the interest of every farmer,
whether member of the Grange or not, to
read this paper, and place it in the hands of
his children 1t is the only journal in the
Southwest that pretends to be devoted ex-
clusively to the interests of the farmers,
and as it is the cheapest weekly published
in the South, it ought to be taken by every
farmer in the Southwest

another repeating the law authorizing the
employment of Federal supervisors and

Hayes vetoes these, the issue will be fairly
made up, and this, it is believed, is as far
as the Democrats will be able to go.
Enough Democrats with the Greenback-
ers will vote with the Republicans to pass
the two appropriation bills naked in the
House, and enough Democratic Senators
Will yield to carry them thfough the oen-

MAI. F. E. WHITFIELD.

We had the pleasure this week of form
ing the acquaintance of Maj. F. E. Whit
field of Corinth, who has acquired a
worldwide reputation in his old age, by
reason of his connection with the Glenn
ent Attachment, one of the most useful in
ventions of the century, to the perfection
and introduction of which he has devoted
the later years of his life. He was on his
way to New Orleans to go before the
British Consul to take the steps necessary
for securing patent for India We think
that India, where gins are but little used,
the cotton being sent to the ports in the
seed, offers a fine opening for the new
process factories. The manufacturing
spirit is growing in India, and the day is,
perhaps, not far distant when the people
of that vast and populous region will man
utacture all their coaser cotton fabrics.
Chinese companies have ordered the ma
chinery for several large cotton factories
from. Germany. We should think that
the new-process factories would be admi-
| rably suited to the cotton growing regions
of that country.
Maj. Whitfield showed US specimens of
cotton in the five stages from seed cotton
to yarns, from his factory in Corinth.
I. Seed cotton-the verest ''dog- -taii"-
SO inferior in appearance that no ginner
would gin it for toll.
2. The seed cotton after it had passed
through the cleanser:-g greatly improve
but still looking bad.
3. The silver as it comes from the Glenn.
emf Attachment: clean, glossy, and beauti-
full, the fibres lying strait and parellel, like
the filaments of skein ofraw silk
4. The roll-ready for the spindle
5. The yarn, smooth and strong-found
by accurate test to be one-third stronger
than yarns spun from ginned cotton.
A number of gentlemen connected with
our Manufacturing Association examined
these specimens, and heard Maj. Whit
fields explanation of the New Process
with all of which they were highly pleas
ed Columbus Democrat.

HOW TO BUY A HORSE.

The Rural Ne7U Yorker says: can in
tending purchaser should have the horse
brought out before him, and watch the
animal as he stands at rest If the owner
is continually starting the horse into mo-
ton and urging him to show off,, some
thing may be expected, because it is
when the horse is at perfect rest that his
weak points are divulged. If the horse
be sound he will stand square on his limbs,
without moving any one ofthem, the feet
being placed fiat upon the ground, and all
his legs plump and naturally posed.
If one foot being thrown forward, and the
toe pointing to the ground and the heel
raised, or if the foot be lifted from the
ground and the weight taken from it, dis
ease or tenderness may be expected"

Their efforts will have telling effect in

of that State at work earnestly and sue
ccssfully. He will fill seveIal appoint
ments in Williamson county next week,
and from there will go to Lampasas and
Burnet counties He writes us from Sa-
lado, Bell county, under date of the 10TH:
"There seems to be revival all along
the line. The farmers are finding out that
they can do something for themselves in
the Grange. Old members are taking hold
of it with renewed zeal, and new ones of
the right stripe are falling into line. In
every section where the Grange is taken
hold of at the right end, with practical
object in view, it is moving right up"

seer Rose during the summer campaign

Another season Of Opera.

Scarcely have the Maplesonian echoes
died ont at the Academy than the tun-
ing OF the Strakosch orchestra comes
to US from Booths. The veteran
Mr. Max brings with him from the West a
galaxy OF lyric talent, headed by Miss
Clara Louise Kellogg and Miss Maria
Litta, which promises to repeat the
success of his last years combination at the
same house. 1t is not necessary to sound
Miss Kellogg's praises, but the remark
able success of Miss Litta in Paris
when she sang Lucia at the Italiens
will pique curiosity to hear her
fine soprano. With them comes Miss
Cary, the best of American con-
traltos, and perhaps the best in the
world. With Mr. Charles Adams, q
gifted and conscientious singer, who
certainly approaches the highest excel
lence as leading tenor. Mr. Comfy as
basso and Signor Pantaleoni and Mr..
Gottschalk as baritones, we can foresee that
many good works are we'll within the reach
of the company. Tomorrow evening,
in "AIda," Miss Kellogg will have
an opportunity to let us know
whether the good words we have
heard of her acting in this part are justified.
If so, it will form m event in opera almost
equal to debut. The patronage bestowed on
the late company at the Academy
shows what we have always main
tanned, that New York will support
good opera and none other, and
in the belief that Mr.. Strakosch is making
an effort to meet the public desire we con-
gratulate our n ,thetic fellow citizens on this
season of opera.
