CALIFORNIA CABBAGE.
A Huge Specimen which Brought About
Wedding.


Romance and the rose go hand in
hand, and the dainty violet and the
modest lily have often opened the por-
tails Of love, but II has been left to Cali
fornia TO produce the only cabbage that
has ever led 10 real romance that
wound up In a wedding.
Eighteen months ago, according To
the unquestionable statement grain
merchant of San Francisco, there stood
in front of the door of one of San Fran
cisco's real estate dealers cabbage
from San Bernardino County weighing
ninety-two pounds, and said to be the
largest ever raised While this produc-
tion of California's greatness was on
exhibition the Oregon express landed
from England two Britons, so fresh
from their native soil that they walked
along the dry and dusty streets with
surtouts down to their ankles and their
trowsers rolled up to meet their coats.
They were both bound for Australia
Passing along they espied the wonder
full cabbage. Both men stopped short.
| Up went two single eyeglasses.
by Jove, old boy, that's doosedly
large cabbage, doncherl1now."
''Doosedly large" replied the second
surprised son of Albion, and then they
both went in and inquired of the real
estate man where it was grown.
Both men were wealthy Both men
were cousins, and while unknown to
them the busy hand of fate was now at
work, it only seemed to the curiosity
seeker that in deciding that life would
be misspent unless they saw the land
upon which this cabbage grew that
they were obeying the idle whim of idle
gentlemen in going to San Bernardino
to do so. And so they went.
Englishmen as a rule are not garru-
lous and these two friends were NO ex-
ception. Once in San Bernardino they
were directed to the farm where the
cabbage grew. They remained two
weeks. At the end of that time one o1
them said to the rancher:
81 want SO much of your land in q
certain section. How much is il
worth?"
"Four hundred thousand dollars"
1t was paid for The other friend sale
to the rancher:
"Your daughter is very beautiful ant
I love her. l want to make her my
wife"
There was wedding at the ranch
There were number of people present
friends of the family, and the groom
threw aside his taciturnity long enough
at the supper table to tell how the biz
cabbage had led to his happiness.-Sal
Francisco Examiner.

great advantage in keeping them clean.
But best of all is the water trough.
This runs through the center of the
passage and from it all the cows can
drink without leaving their stalls. The
trough is v shaped, four inches wide at
the bottom and twelve inches wide at
the top, 1t has tight-ftting cover
which keeps out all the dirt and also
serves for walk. This trough is filed
from well just outside of the barn.

VALUE OF COTTON SEED.

Meal and Hulls Combined Furnish Com
plete Stock Food.
The seeds from the cotton crop years
ago were thrown away as worthless.
Afterwards they were used alone as a
fertilizer on the coming crop, or in the
compost heat. To a limited extent they
were then fed to stock without crush
ing.
The next and greatest advance was in
separating the hull and kernel and in
expressing the oil. The oil cake
when ground, known as meal, came
to be used as a stock food and as fer
tilizer. The hulls were first used for
fuel-the ash being used for a strong
fertilizer-but afterwards were used
also for stock food.
The combination of meal and hulls
furnishes complete food, and is be-
coming to be extensively used for fat
tening purposes. The oil is used as a
component of compound lard, for cook
ing, for lubricating and similar pur-
poses, and when refined is sold as
"pure" olive oil. The lower grade is
used for soap-mal1ing. The small guam
tity of lint is removed from the seed by
improved gins.
The following shows the value of the
product made from one ton cottonseed
by the most improved process, giving
the average selling prices:
Forty gallons oil, at 80 cents S2 90
Meal, 675 pounds, at S24 per ton ........... 10
Hulls, 1000 pounds. Mt 80 per ton .......... so
Lint, e7 pounds, at cents...... ......... 0S
Total. see 6s
Cost OF one ton, G5YS bushels, at 1s cents. IL 90
AS early as ITO the Moravians of
Bethlehem, Pa, separated the oil from
the cottonseed- And in 1888 the So
ciety for the Encouragement of Arts
and Commerce in London, recognizing
the value of cottonseed oil cake as a
stock food, offered gold and silver med
ais for the best cake and the best oil ex-
tracted from the seed. Verify, there is
nothing new under the sun.-H. b. Bat
tie, Experiment Station, Raleigh.

CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.

Somebody has observed that Chris
tianity is deed, not doctrine, and to
possess religion is to have big heart
and not the big head. Practically that
is what the theological discussions
which have flooded the country for the
last two weeks have demonstrated, and
things are growing still more entertain
ing, but the entertainment now comes
from the other side of the fence. Ten
days ago one might have thought the
l'rcsbyterians would endorse DR.. Briggs
and revise the confession Of faith.
Phillips Brooks was then in danger of
being unindorscd as the Episcopalian
bishop of the diocese of Massachusetts,
while DR.. Newton wds looked puon as n
hereto.
This week everything has vccred
around The Presbyterian Detroit As
sombly tabled revision for another year
and rather gave DR.. Briggs to under
stand that his views we're ont of order.
Phillips Brooks has received the hearty
Endorsements of the best dioceses in the
country, and DR.. Newton may not be
tried for hcresy. From all theso STIR
rings-rp the Episcopal faith and lib
eral theology will find more popular
supporters and others will look anew on
tho old landmarks of orthodox Prcsby-
terians. Those who have looked upon
the discussions as akin to skepticism
are probably the skcptics themselves.
Searchers after truth can never become
an obsolete factor in anything or any
wherc,and nobody can deny that practi-
cal Christianity has lately received ben
Gifts Of an incalculable nature.
