COTTON SEED OIL.

An Industry that Is Constautlv Increasing
In Importance.
One of the youngest but sturdiest and
most prosperous industries of the south
is the manufacture of cotton-seed oil.
Few people have any idea of the
enormous proportions, to which it has
grown within the last few years. it
does not tax the memory of the oldest
inhabitant of the cotton-growing states
very much to recall the time when cot
ton seed was not only drug on the
market lin his district, but an actual
detriment to the crop, and a nuisance
which nobody knew how to get rid Of
Now the seed is one of the most desir-
able and profitable part of the crop
1t is some sixty years ago since the first
experiments were made in an attempt
to get something out of it by pressing
the oil from the seed. They proved not
wholly unsuccessful - and were gradual
ly enlarged until 1872, when 2,25O, 900
gallons of oil were produced.
From that time until the present the
progress has been rapid. In 1ssOA the
production for the year was 1O,OOk, 900
gallons, and in that year 1000, 900 gal
Ions were exported to Italy, France
and Spain, there to be converted into
and sold as the finest olive oil. To pro-
tect their people against the duplicity
of those engaged in this trade the
governments of those countries i'm
posed such heavy import duties on
American cotton seed oil as proved pro-
hibitive. Notwithstanding this back
set the industry continued to grow and
flourish. In 1888 the production had
increased to 90, 00O, 600 gallons. When it
had reached these proportions it began
to attract the attention of outside CAPT.

monopoly.
In 1883 the American cotton oil trust
was organized and $4,000, 900 of trust
certificates were issued to represent
eight plants owned by the trust, the
intrinsic value of which was not more
than $1,000, 900. In 1887 three of the
largest cotton-seed oil concerns with
drew from the trust and organized the

the oil out of the seed from "a ton ia

or thirty-Ave gallons of oil per ton OF
seed. The new produces forty gallons
per ton, and yet perfection has not been
reached in the art Itisestimated that
over 10 per cent of oil is still left in the
seed.-Chicogo Post.

Timothy Culture.

Timothy or herds grass is the best
known and most used of any grass in
all of our northern and central states;
yet, while many are familiar with it, in
a general way. few can name its espe-
cial good or bad points. 1t possesses
both, as we shall endeavor to show. 1t
stands up well and makes good hay,
which is easily cured and heavy for its
bulk, but it is rather course and it is
not well adopted to sandy land. A
timothy meadow, if sown for profit,
should always be on clay or loamy soil.
1t is not well adapted for sowing with
red clover for meadow as it blossoms
two or three weeks later than the lat
ter. Orchard grass is better to mix
with clover for meadows, as it blossoms
at about the same time Timothy is
not a good grass for pasture as close
feeding, such as it is likely to have if
horses or sheep are turned on, win in
jure it quickly and eventually kill it
out. 1t may also be hurt by close
moving, and some farmers. in their
desire to get the last pound of
hay, will set the knife of the
mower so low that it Injuries

wonder that the meadow runs out. 1t

GREEN EYES.
Orbs of the Emerald Hue the Praise OF the
Poets.

Orbs Of the Emerald Hue the Praise Of the
Poets. -
Calderon, Grievances and other Spanish
writer's praise the eye of the emerald
hue, in which they are initiated by
Longfellow, in his Spanish Student"
where he speaks of the "young and
green-eyed Gaditana" But perhaps
the poets do not intend to be so precise
in their definition of color as their
words might imply Green is of many
shades. and poetical praise of emerald
eyes may perhaps be best interpreted
by Swinburne's beautiful lines 10
"Felise": &
20 lips that mine have grown into,
Like April's kissing May:
o fervid eyelids, letting through
Those eyes the greenest Of thingA blue,
The bluest OF things gray"

The Foes OF Health.

Civilization has done much for the
human race. Sanitary science, in the
fundamental principles of which every
person who reads and thinks is fairly
well posted, has already heightened. by
many years, the duration of human life.
Many people, however, make the Sc
rious mistake of surprising that only
cities and towns need to apply the prin-
ciples of sanitary science, because in
them are the greatest accumulations of
unsanitary conditions. Country PEOPLE
are too prone to assume that the air
they breathe, because it is free and APP
parently uncontaminated, fulfills all
the conditions Of perfect sanitation.
Whereas, the habits of life, and the
character of food and drink, have far
more effect upon health than the air
we breathe; we eat more disease than
we inbale. One who is we'll fed. well
clad and well housed, with the exercise,
in addition of common prudence, can
and will successfully resist the toxic
effects of organic and inorganic foes to
health, while he who is exposed to the
facilitating influence of unwholesome
food, impure water, physical discomfort,
personal exposure and undue physical
labor, falls an easy prey to ills that inn
prudent flesh is heir to. Farmers are
liable to many unfavorable contingent
cies, for which they do not make proper
provision. Many work too hard; ex-
pose themselves in bad weather; do
not surround themselves with comforts
as they ought to do, and as too fire.

to the foes which are always ready to
seize every point of vantage. Thrift
