FREE SEED
Of Egyptian Cotton to be Furnished
By the Agricultural De-
Dartmant

CSt1
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March ID
The Egyption cotton seed, which
was purchased by Secretary Rusk
through the United States consul
general at Cairo, Egypt, has been
received at the department of agri-
culture. The purpose of this i'm
pOrtatiOn of seed is, as set forth in
EX-Secretary Rusk's last report, to
undertake with cooperation of
experiment stations in cotton
states, experiments with a view to
producing cotton of home growth,
which may serve as an efficient
substitute for the Egyptian, of
which during the last fiscal year
more than three million dollars
was imported into this country,
an increase of fifteen per cent
over the previous year, and of con-
siderably more thar a hundred
per cent over the year ending in
1890. The cotton received at the
department consists of two of the
best known Egyptian varieties,
Aft and Bamiah. The distribution
will be made to the experiment
stations in the cotton states, and
also through the senators for those
states, to planters whom they may
recommend, to give the Egyptian
seed a careful trial, and report on
the conditions of soil and climate
and methods of cultivation of the
Egyptian. The cotton is being
prepared for the department under
the direction of our consul general
in Egypt.

Globe Democrat:

The attention of the President is
called to the fact that the margin
between raw and refined sugar is
much broader now than it was a
year ago, which means that the
trust is eXtOrting a good deal more
money from the people than it did
then. The President in his in
augural threw a few unemployment
platitudes at the trusts. Let him
order his Attorney General to go

Unfermented Grape Juice.

Bottling grape julce Is as simple as can
ming fruit 1t must be kept in cool place
and used soon after opening the same as
canned fruit, for exposure TO the air will
start fermentation. The process is simple.
Use pure juice from ripe grapes; strain TO
remove any portions OF pulp that remain in
the juice as it comes from the press, heat to
nearly the boiling point and bottle while
hot. Put no sugar nor anything else in it.
Bottle as soon as you can after it has been
pressed from the grapes, so that there can
be 10 chance for fermentation, and you
have the most healthful and invigorating
drink that can be found, as it contains
