In the United States cotton oil is

gravity rs the crude, is drawn of by
racking, and the rcsidunm, which is
called soap stock, is treated in suitable
manner
The present consumption of cotton
seed Tor oil-making purposes is about
$40, 600 tons ycar, from which there
are made about 2S,U00, 900 gallons,
worth about thirty cents per gallon in
the refined condition.
The principal use to which it is put is
for food purposes. The we'll cstabli he'd
fact that it is not only healthful, but
more easily digcstcd than almost any
other article of food, accounts for the
rapid increase of its use for culinary
purposes, which to-day amounts to a
very large proportion OF the entire pro-
duclion. 1t is safe to say that of tho
