Last Years Cotton Crop state
menf.

The New York Financial Chroni-
cle's statement Of the cotton crop Of
last year received this morning makes
the total .6,992,23 bales, and 27,42S
bales more than the crop report Of the
National Cotton Exchange. There is
an excess of some $4,000 bales in
Southern consumption according TO
Chroniole's report, and 10000 bales
excess in receipts at the ports. The
kilograms regarding the National Cot.
ton Exchanges report show some dis
crepancies, or crooked figuring. The
total port receipts Of the Exchange is
6,0O9,6l2 bales, Of overland
shipments 64l,sOl. and of South
orn consumption 3l3,393, max
ing the total bales 6 1854, ,9O6, while the
receipts as published by kilograms
yesterday show a total Of $685.
756 bales, or about $4,000 less than the
above. The Chronicles gives
Southern consumption at $1,000
bales. Much interest is manifested
in both statements, but the National
Cotton Exchange is regarded as
official and will be the figures accepted
as the real crop of 1928. Many, ,how-
ever, believe the Chronicle is closest
to the mark.

TIE pERILoUs VOYAGE.

At twenty minutes past three pm,
Buffalo time, the boat was towed out
into the stream and cut loose at about
the point where Captain Webb started
on his fatal swim. She went swiftly
down thu, stream, and when reaching
the rapids was dashed about like a
small boat in rough sea, but kept
her course safely though careening
and turning around several times.
She reached the whirlpool in about
three minutes from the time she
struck the rough water. Then she
Aoated around and gradually worked
toward the Canadian shore, remaining
in the whirlpool about twenty minutes.
After reaching the shore she was Sc
cured and her flags taken of, after
which sbe was pushed out into the
stream and Aoated down the river
some distance, when she was taken in
tow by some boys and tied up at the
Lewiston dock.

NORTH Carolina has furnished sew
eral remarkable stories this year. Here
is the latest: A girl had her hand
completely severed from her arm by
an axe. The physician, not being in
a condition to amputate the arm above
the wrist, replaced the hand, secured
it with silver stitches and adhesive
plaster, and having bound both arm and
hand to a broad spliut, ordered them
to be kept warm with hot flannel
cloth. The third day pulsation could
be plainly felt in the left hand, which
had also turned its color. Says the
physician in charge: II removed the
sutures on the fourteenth day, and
afterward she carried the hand in
a sling, and is now-three months
after the accident-able to extend the
fingers aud grasp with nearly the
ususl strength"

A Small Craft Makes the Voyage
With No Serious Injury.

BUFFALO, September 6 The lmi

Mist was sent through the Whirlpool
Rapids below Niagara Falls this after
noon in the presence Of 10000
spectators. Excursions were run on
all railroads centering at the Falls,
both from the States and Canada.
There was much criticism on account
Of the whole affair being turned into
an advertising medium. 1t was said
that the scheme was gotten up for the
benefit Of the hackmen and hotel
keepers, but the advertising privileges
of the boat were bought by patent
medicine dealer of Lockport. The
little craft was rigged up to represent
the original Maid OF the Mist, which
was piloted safely through the rapids
in 1861.

A Revolution in Beer.

fGart Dak.) Cor. st. Louis Republican.
In our neighborhood lives a German far
mer named Liebig, who claims to have
made z discovery which seems to me so re-
markable that have concluded to report it
to the press. He is engaged in raising hops
on a small farm, keeps some COWS, and seems
TO be doing well. He is quite a scientific
man, and has diploma from some big agri-
cultural college in Germany, the name of
which l have forgotten. His neighbors call
him the Latin farmer This is what he saws:
Among his COWS is one Of the English breed.
the best mixer in the lot. Some time ago
the milk from her had a bitter taste and
a brownish color, which rendered it totally
unfit for use. This gave him considerable dis
tress, and he could not account for if. Later
on he discovered the cause OF the trouble.
He saw the animal coming out of his barn,
where he has his hop bins Evidently the
cow had been feeding on hops and, naturally.
the milk had acquired the Objectionable taste.
He commenced a series of experiments. the
reasons for which he gave me, and which
seem quite plausible. His arguments were:
If the food has such a direct influence on the
taste and color Of the milk, have we not
the means at hand TO give the product any
character we choose? He evidently regards
the animal economy of the COW as a sort of
chemical laboratory. So he went to work to
produce drink similar to beer, and if his
statements are true las 1 believed he sue
ceeded completely.
He continued to feed hops. for which she
had a natural liking, then malt, and then
corn. Grass and hay would not do, because
under it the liquid resumed its natural milky
character. The product under this feeding
was a turbid light Drown liquid with sweet,
slightly bitterish taste. Warm from the COW
he adds some yeast, sets it in warm place
and lets it ferment. This seems to generate q
certain amount of alcohol and the liquid at
the same time becomes clear. II the fermen-
tation is, however, not interrupted at a GER
tain stage the stuff gets sour and is unfit to
drink. He stops the fermentation by pour
ing the liquid in strong jug, coriing tightly,
and letting it down in a deep well. Two or
three days after he draws it up. It is then q
clear, light brown color, efervescing, form
ing a creamy foam on top and tastes de-
Ecious-to me, a great deal better than most
