1t has been demonstrated by actual ex-
pertinent that cotton need not cost the
farmer much more than three cents u
pound. A Major Jones, in Georgia, has
raised cotton AZ that cost by using the new
tools and exercising that care which pru-
dent business men always give to what they
deal in. Cotton, such as Mr.. Jones raises,
is worth near sixteen cents. There is the
enormous profit of 1900 on crop of 800
bales. Not only does the farmer not cult
vate his land thoroughly, or care for his
cotton after it is grown, but he deliberately
throws away valuable part of the cotton
the seed. This may be made to furnish MA.
nure, and cattle feed in the form Of seed
stock, and it may be sold for the
manufacture of Oil, From this oil can be
manufactured soap, stearine, white oils,
and even mn excellent imitation of olive oil.
1t is actually imported to France for the
Grady's figures He says that crop of
100000 bales will yield 3,500,00 tons of
seed. When put upon the fields this seed
will add 70 TO 80 per centum TO the crop.
The first mill for pressing oil from cotton
seed in the South is in New Orleans, and
was not established until 1869, Now there
nrc iifty.nne seed oil mills in the South,
working up annually S5,5O0,0o0 worth Of
seed, and the product sells for $1,000, 900,
making ON annual nront OF Sl,JU,OOO,
"A ton of seed" says Mr., Grady,
ton, and costs originally s. to si0,making
an average cost when worked Of Si5, Is
estimated to produce thirty five gallons of
oil worth Sli.5O, and cake worth $3.50, and
lint worth $l.5O-a total OF 1850.

changes, none more remarkable than
that which has occurred among the
Chinese and Japanese. Only that
long ago this ancient race were shut

the world shut out. To-day their
young men are students in our best
American colleges, their merchants
buy and sell in all the ports of the
world, and Americans walk the
streets of all their cities. We have
had but few years as yet to become
acquainted. The book is written by
one who has lived in Japan, and is
thoroughly qualified to speak of the
people, their manners and customs
and beliefs. The book describes the
adventures of an American family
and a young Japanese, educated in
the States. They visit the interest.

look upon the people at their work,
at their worship, and in their homes.
The characters are fictitious, but the
facts are only those which come I'm.

The book is profusely illustrated,
and the covers are ornamented with
curious Japanese designsin brilliant
colors. It is not only an instructive,
but a very attractive book, and has
not one tiresome chapter from the
opening to the closing page.
