AYERS

youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich

thin hair thickened, and badness often,

heals nearly every disease peculiar to the

Fate of the Fur Trade

The statistics of the fur trade prove
the rapid exhaustion of the North Amer
ican and North European hunting
grounds. Siberia, too, has ceased to
furnish honanaas Of aeIlsg. saS tha
tiihe Is near When tfle pfice OF many
now fashionable furs will rise to extrav-
agant figures, though the same expedi-
ent which substituted silk hats for
beaver hats may, before long, find an
available substitute for sealskin and err
mine. In the meanwhile, though, the
advance of prices may suggest the plan
of domesticating certain varieties of
Northern fur animals. Success would
mean wealth in that sort of geological
enterprise. The skins of the 'iiisher'
or mountain brook mink are worth frc:n
$40 to $15 apiece; those of the Oregon
sea otter from $25 to $40, and a genu-
inc black fox skin in fair condition
would be cheap at $50, the value Of "

Value Of Cotton Seed Hulls

In q few years We expect to find every
particle Of the cotton plant, from the leaf to
the lint, put to valuable uses. Already the
fbrous stalk is being utilized for making
paper, its seed manufactured into oil, food for
stock and valuable fertilizer and it is now
discovered that even the hulls Of the seed
possess great fattcning properties for cattle,
hogs and sheep. We doubt if there is any
plant grown in any part Of the world that
contributes so many comforts, luxuries and
ncccssarics, for man aud beast, as the cotton
plant, and il does seem to us that If any man
should grow rich and bc independent it is
the cotton planter: with such plant mt his
| control to provide food and raiment for him
self and family. But not until the last few
years have they begun to fully know and ap-
prcciatc the true worth Of the plant to them,
md make all its important commercial and
fcrtilizing values contribute to their financial
prosperity.
Under the Alliance orga nization, all the
money value Of the cotton pla Mt may he
made to contribute tu the Southern Farmers
comfort, prosperity and independence; and
we are pleased to hear that that organization
is now contemplating the adoption of some
plan hy which the land owners will bc able
