The C0tton-Seed OIL Industry.
[Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer


The cotton-seed oil business is growing
industry. That is illustrated by statement
made to me by Judge Z. w. Caviness, of
Clinton, Miss A traveller with an eye to the
possibilities said the judge asked one Of our
planters: "What do you do with the seed
after you have picked the cottona" "Throw
them back on the land, !" said the planter
"Well, the time will come when cotton will
be raised for the seed instead of for thu cot
ton as now."
That time is approaching. Now, instead
of manuring the land with tho seed, fine mills
are erected and large capital invested in ex-
tracting the oil. At present 296 pounds of oil
are obtained from ton of seed. The residuum
is packed into cakes resem bling In form large
cheese or grindstones, shipped to England,
where I am informed the material is put
through another process, and nearly as much
oil is obtained at the second process as in the
first instance. This would argue nearly six
hundred pounds Of oil to q ton of seed. The
pulp is ground into meal after the oil is ex-
tracted, and is often reshipped to America,
where it is used as feed for cattle and as a
fertilizer.
A friend Of mine is strongly Of the opinion
that a process can be developed for obtaining
the oil from cotton scei as WHISKY is now OBJ
tanned from corn. What big thing it would
be II q new drink could bs manufactured out
of the seed! The country could then declare
its Independence Of the whisky pool and corn
kings. II the south would take to it rs a
drink as kindly as they do to it as a dressing
for food, no corn juice would go south. The
oil is almost universally used in place Of lard
and butter for cooking purposes. got along
after a fashion with the cooking until
learned that fact; then, oh, my! oleomarsa-
rine would have been welcome

A New Kind Ot Cod n xh.

During the past week a new fish has been
brought to the attention Of the wholesale
trade in Boston. Its appearance here is the
result of the United States Fish commissions
efforts to bring to public notice such newly
discovered fish rs are marketable for food
This fish is commonly known us black cod
fish and is found in great abundance in
Puget sound and may be very easily taken.
Outside of its dark color the fish clos ely re-
sembles our own cod, but is rather smaller, il
those shown are Of average size. 1t has an
oily taste that would hardly make it popular
in our markets, at least, if prepared for the
table as our Goldfish are. The specimens were
dry salted as they would most naturally be
marketed in that way. But coming at this
time when our market is unusually full of
native cod and with no especial fear Of a
scarcity for years to come, the Puget sound
cod is likely to receive little attention. 1t is
well, however, to know of its existence and
of its quality as a food fish

Dut the closing sentence, which tells Of
Crockett's life and death in Texas, is not

Alamo, in San Antonio De Bexar He was
one OF the six survivors who, under promise
OF being spared, at last surrendered, and were
afterward treacherously put to death by
Santa Annals orders"
This is all a mistake. Crockett never had
the opportunity to perform any daring mill
tary exploits in Texas, because there was no
force OF Mexicans cast Of San Antonio, and
Crockett arrived there from the east just be-

The stubborn defense of the Alamo enabled
Houston to collect the forces with which he
