the public was aroused TO a sense Of the dis
gushing facts relating TO the abominable hog
product, refined cotton-seed oil was put
upon the market A pure, sweet, vegetable
product, instead Of the nausesting yield Of
hogs' entraiIs. Month by month the con-
sumption Of the new and pure article Is
spreading. 1t il found inoffensive to the
taste and uniniurious to the stomach. In
biscuits. pie-crust, roasts, and Wherever lard
used, it il found to be most valuable
acquisition; and one Of its most valuable
properties il it, capacity TO drive out oil use
the vile ho. product, lard. la the produc-
ton Of the now much-used artificial butter,
also, cotton-seed oil proves to be an i'm
portant and uuobjectionable ingredient.
Az an article OF food substituted for
lard. cotton-seed oil is yet a new thing;
lis consumption is only just beginning,
vet by aid in a measure of this new use the
value of the seed has gone up from the for
mer Sc to SI2 a ton. As it becomes more
known the consumption OF cotton-seed oil as
an article of food will spread indefinitely.
When our own country has demonstrated its
value in this respect, its use will be adopted
abroad and cotton-seed oil will become an
important article of export. Fears have been
that the increasing acreage OF
cotton will lead to reduction of the price.
Even should those fears prove well founded
the income added by the sale of oil is likely
to compensate for that loss. Should the sale
Of seed enable the planter TO grow cotton at
a reduction OF price, that reduction will en-
able the Southern cotton manufacturer to
enter the markets OF the world IN successful
competition with the cotton mills OF Europe.
There ia one thing to be guarded against !
however, and that is that our lands do not |
letsriorate by the abstraction of the seed. 1t |

his danger. The cake left when the |

erti:izer than the Impressed seed, and
as the additional value of being an excel
emit feed for flttening stock. In the long
un this will lead to an extension of cattle
reeding and especially of sheep-rearing in
be South, and the result will be plentiful
npply OF manure for the cotton-field. The
alue that cotton-seed oil has added to the
otton plant opens up new and wider pros
ects Of success, as tending to increase our
extend our resources, and add to
ur wealth Under this state OF things the
iture prospects of the South take new
specf, bright, CHEEKY and promising. With
ONE manufactures of our cotton, with an
xportation of yarn and sheeting instead of
ne raw material, and with the products OF
lie coton-seed, those products also manu-

,tton-grower 10 press his own seed, send the
