Cottonseed Products.

Very few persons not directly inter.
ested are aware of the prominent posi-.
ton cottonseed products have taken in
the commerce of this country and par
ticularly of the South. Anew years ago.
this material was almost unknown in
trade, and q few mills, probably three
or four, supplied the market. Extensive
mills of the most approved machinery
are now Running day and nightin nearly
all the cotton centers of the South to
meet the demand. The output of these
mills is enormous, and often sold sixty
and ninety days ahead. 1 tfinds its way
to the marts of Europe, is quoted in the
market reports as a staple, and is specu.
lated in as wheat, corn, cotton and oil;
futures are bought and sold on tin
fact, its growth in the past two or three
wears is almost magical. A few years
ago., after the next years seed was Sc
lected, the remainder was thrown out
beside the clubhouse in piles to rot or to
be used as bedding for stock, and some
were even afraid to Use it for that pur-
pose on account of stock eating it, as it
was considered injurious-"wolld dry
the milk of cows" Consequently it
was a neglected farm product. Now
the oil is used for all the purposes that
olive oil is, and takes the place of lard
to a great extent, especially in hotels
and restaurants. The uses of the oil
cake after the oil is pressed out, are
manifold, and the hulls and refuse are
made into a fertilizer.
The wonderful development of this
industry has stimulated cotton growing,
as the price received for the seed is con-
sidered clear gain. Some of the South
ern journals Of agriculture are advising
farmers to place the seed on the land as
a fertilizer. l do not think this advisa.
BILE, as the intrinsic value of the seed is
greater at the mill than on the ground
Notwithstanding it is a good fertilizer.
If farmers would take better care of the
manure from their stables and stable.
yards, generally speaking, they would
have twice as much fertilizing materials
of an equal value as they would derive
from the seed of their whole cotton crop.
Suffice it to say that with the high price
paid for seed and the great demand for
it, it will take some time to convince
the planters that there is more money
in the seed on the ground than at the
mill, even where they have to buy fer
%tilizers. If the manufacture of cotton
seed products continues to increase as
rapidly IS it has in the past few years
cotton growing for seed will be a profit

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR:
Will you please tell me how to get rid of
nuisance, which is:
Back of my house runs public alley, start
ing from 18th street, and running west toward
10th. The city engineers fixed the grade of this
alley to drain towards 10th street. The maker
of the alley excavated It about one third of thu
distance across the square, where It comes to a
full stop, nearly three feet below the level
Of the lots around.
The consequence il that standing pool Of
stagnant water collects one foot or more IN

perfect image of that stone, Just as 1t appeared
after being washed, and with such little imper-
fections in the sculpture as the moss and dirt
not thoroughly removed caused, can now be
seen among the Lorillard collection.
There are also in the collection the representa-
tions OF q couple of rather uncouth figures. both
alike. The design is that of q man wearing ap-
parently sort of elose-f1tting armor. The right
hand clasps something, having the appearance
of the upper part Of a crown, to the breast,
While the left holds, lower down. q symbol con-
tanning human face. The figure is so carved as
to represent it upon pedestal and resting with
the back against heavy stone. At the base are
symbolic characters. 1t is supposed that these
two figures were the support of some platform
or feature of the temple. There are various
other figures representing man and beast. Some
of the slabs are covered with images Of reptiles.
The collection is most interesting study, even
to the uninitiated In archaeology and ethnology,
and cannot fail to attract as it deserves, the
attention of all visitors to the splendid building
in which it has been finally deposited.

a Word for the Sparrow.

TO the Editor of THE EyESISG STAR:
It is surprising that with the boasted accuracy
OF knowledge and close observation of modern
GAYS there are still so many things not definitely
asceTtained. For example, some intelligent
neighbcrs have been discussing the question as
to whether rattlesnakes lay eggs as ordinary
snakes DO. or produce their Young alive. 1t
would seem that it ought TO have been settled
by observation ere this, and yet on appealing to
the highest authority known to me the answer
was that naturalists differ but ii was believed
that in captivity venomous snakes are yvi-
paTOus. So we find that so common a question
as to whether the English sparrow Is. or is not
a benefit. has warm advocates upon either side.
IL all who have sources OF Information upon dis
puted points will give the results OF their obser-
vations. all will In time, arrive at correct con-
clusiOns. /. therefore. send few words about
our little foreign visitor who has evidently
come to be naturaliZed. Our experience is that
during the winter he Is rather agreeable than
the reverse. His chirpy note and busy little
ways give animation to the otherwise rather
lonely outlook and remind us of the days when
woods and fields will be vocal with his feathered
knsmen. As to the good he does, we can GER
fainly say that we have never had greater
abundance of cherries. currantS, gOOSeberries,
&c. and the maple trees seem to have been less
affected than formerly by the insect that pune
tured the leaves. This may or not be owing to
his having destroyed the enemies of the tree and
fruit. We have not missed the fruit that the
sparrows have taken.
AS to his driving away other birds, 1t is
certainly not so here in the country. where the
trees are tall and space ample. We have great
many sparrOws. but also have twenty varie-
ties of birds near the house. We have never had
more than since the sparrOws have arrived.

A few days ago noticed in one Of the large

but evidently not of their clique, came along,
