Use. Of cottou.eea OIL,

Last year there were probably 1885,
400 tons Of seed crushed. Out of this
seed were obtained 100000 barrels of
OIL" OF this amount it is estimated by
Pharmaceutical Era that 100000 bar.
rels are used In Chicago for making
lard. and St. Louis, Kansas City and
Omaha are credited with about 100000
In making the same product. A COM
parison Of the statistics Of lard produc-
ton and cottonseed oil consumption
might show interesting results US to the
composition OF the former. About 90
600 barrels Of cotton oil are used on
the coast Of Maine to pack sardines,
aud probably from $4,000 to 100000
barrels are used by soapmakers In the
manufacture Of toilet soaps. About
30 900 barrels go to Rotterdam, Hol-
land, for making butter, aud large GUAM
titles so to Southern Europe for mix
ture with the pure O. olive oils ex-
ported from Marseilles, Trieste aud 9TH
e. Mediterranean ports.
Although this oil IL not to be pre-
fcrrcd for Illuminating or lubricaiing

Eject of Food ON Milk and Butter.
Prof. Dean, of the Ontario Expert
mental station, arrives ut some peril
nent conclusions, the result OF his en-
pcrfments on the above subject. He
says:
II would warn against feeding much
more than 80 pounds OF silage per day
to cows weighing under 1000 pounds.
We have found the following ration To
give good results: Fifty pounds Of
corn silagc. q pounds Of hay, 4 pounds
Of bran and pounds Of pea and Oat-
meal mixed in equal proportions. If
these latter become too high priced l
would recommend the use of two
pounds of cottonsecl meal lin place of
the bran or meals) per day to each cow
when 1t can be- bought for about $40
per ton.
Feed literally. though not wastcful-
~. bearing In mind that although the
per cent Of fat may not be increased
by liberal feeding, the total amount Of
fat or butter may be largely increased
by causing the COW 10 give larger
quantity Of milk. Three things deter
mine the value of n cow-the quality
Of her milk. the quantity she gives.
and the economical use she makes Of
her food"

Green bone, fresh from the market,
Is II valuable food. Dry bone, as found
ut poultry supply stores. contain lit-
tie nutritive food, says Farm Poultry,
which explains that the former is not
bone alone. but contains II large per
cent OF meat and gristle, and by little
selection Of these bones they often con-
tain 15 pc: cent OF nutrient material
The dry bone Is invariably produced by
prolonged boiling or steaning, and Of
ten potash and naphtha are used in the
process to extract the last particles Of
fat in them for soap making purposes.
Green bones and dry bones, az the
terms are used. are practically different
things. The price of dry bones per
pound should have no bearing upon the
price Of green bones. and vice versa.
They are obtained at different places in
n different way. One can he stored and
sold by the bag; the other cannot. One
can be ground and prepared by steam
power Mt large factories and sold Mt
Wholesale; the other cannot, unless it
be to very limited extent. Dry
bones can he ground or crushed. Green
bones must he cut. The grinding or
cutting OF them Is impracticable.

A HARD FIGHT EXPECTED.

The Congressional election through
out the country in November will be
the hardest fight for years. The
Republicans will make a mighty
effort to regain control of the lower
House and block further steps in the
direction of tariff reform.
Democrats everywhere should rec
ognize the importance of the struggle
and do all in their power to prevent
the consumation of the designs OF
the Republican party and its co-ad-
jutors-the heartless trusts.
For long time the trust leeches
quietly Slapped the blood of the coun-
try, under the guise of protection,
and having grown SO fat and strong
as to throw down the gauntlet to the
people and say in effect that they
have succeeded t. the sovereignty
that was once the pride OF the citizen
the people should take up the gaunt-
let and battle manfully on the side
of right and Justice in this great
crisis.
In this great battle, on one side
will be found the Republicans, as
champions of the trusts, and on the
other, the Democrats, as champions
of the people. This is a plain issue
and cannot be disguised. If the peo-
pie are true to themselves we need
have no fear as to the final result of
the contest.

WILL COME BACK.

A large per centage of those who
have gone from the Democratic par
ty to the ranks of the Populists have
been deluded by the Utopian promises
of demagogues and office seekers.
Times were hard and while they were
looking for relief siren songs were
poured into their ears and they be-
came temporarily entranced. But
now that the masks are falling away
from the faces of the political trick
sters and the searching light of calm
investigation is revealing the selfish
purposes of both Populist and Re-
publican leaders, we may expect to
see many of our mistaken friends
return to the good old Democratic
camp, where the hest interests of the
people are zealously guarded.
1t Is too apparent that the prime
purpose of the Republicans in the
fusion idea is to use the Populists as
cats paws in disintegrating the
Democratic party and in securing
Offices for themselves. AS evidence
of this, look at the fusion ticket for
Supreme Court Justices. Is there
one Populist on it? Not one. But
there are two dyed-in. the wool Re-
puhlicans. Is the nominee for Con-
gress from this District Populist?
Far from it. He is rank Republi-
can, who has bitterly denounced the
Populists and now has the brazen
audacity to seek their votes. The
plan is too much like the fellows
proposition to the Indian after their
hunting expedition: ''You take the
buzzard and I'll take the turkey, or
I'll take the turkey and you take the
buzzard." Paraphrase this to the
present condition and the Republi-
cans say to the Populists: "I give
the votes and we'll take the offices,
or we'll take the Offices and you give
the votes"
In modern parlance, this scheme is
'stoo thin" and we believe that a
of our deluded friends will
see through it and come back to the
party for which they have done val
liant service in the days that are past.
They do not wish to be made tools
Of. Neither do they desire to see the
Old North State again placed in the !
of the vipers that once near
" stung her TO death.
Our friends who have thus been
ed astray, Democracy invites to
return and partake of the cordial |
welcome that awaits them.

The Parry is Safe.

Richmond Times.
We hear men say every day that
the Democratic party will now have
nothing with which to go before the
people; that the people will say to it,
we committed every department oil
the Government to your charge,
commanding you to reform the tariff
and to strike out of it every vestige
of protection which a tariff for reve-
nue. equitablJ and ratably levied
upon all imports alike fails to accord,
and behold you have given to us
this abortion, which has protection
written in every line and favors to
trusts and monopolies cropping out
on every page. You are not capable
of running the Government, and we
shall, therefore, take power from you
and commit it to the Republican
party.
We have no fear growing out of
that view of the case. The people
are not idiots. They are rational
and sensible individuals, who under
stand the case with which the coun-
try is confronted very perfectly. The
people know that the real Democratic
representatives in Congress and Sen
ate were heartily aud earnestly
anxious to carry out the instructions
which their constituents gave them
in 1892. but that they were handi-
capped by pretended and so-called
Democrats who were nothing but
Republicans in disguise.

BaItimore's Mosquito Pest.
From the Baltimore Sun

From the Baltimore SUM-
More mosquitoes ara in Baltimore
this year than usual Prot P. r.
Uhler, of the Peabody Institute, who
has written many scientific articles
upon insects of every kind, says that
this is because the Grains of tspring
gave them every opportunity OF
breeding in numbers.
Mosquitoes breed in water" he
said, sand there has been rain
enough the past few months to keep
the rain-barrels, cisterns and swamps
from running dry and thus to offer
them a good breeding place.
s'It isn't the worst season for them
that | remember, but there are more
of them than for several summers.
Twenty or thirty varieties of
mosquitoes are in the neighborhood
of Baltimore, but most of these are
content to remain outdoors. Only
five of these species invade human
habitat, ms and sting human beings.
Of these five three are with us just
now, the most common one being
the goodly sized yellow mosquito,
which is called the English mosquito,
because it was first described by
AHhShoh o. iVhliSCS, IL 10
scattered over a wide area.
"The one whose sting hurts the
most, in my opinion, is a little dark
brown creature found only in Ameri-
ca, and we also have with us large
sized black variety, with striped legs.
ut is only the female mosquito
who stings and buzzas. The male
mosquito seems to he useless. He
doesn' t even eat At least tntomol-
ogists have never found anything in
his STOMACH The female breeds but
dice each year, but that once she
lays seven Or eight hundred eggs
"Mosquitoes are not entirely a
pest. They do much g4od in this
world by eating deieteriohs organic
matter and getting rid of so much
malaria. There are countless billions
of them in fresh water swamps along
the Atlantic coast. and although the
amount of good that one of them
does is ridiculously small, the sum
total must be large"

how no sEouRE REFoRM.

The idea of the necessity tor a
reform in the United States Senate
is growing and gathering strength
as it grows. The people do not wish
a recurrence of the recent vents by
which few men boldly, Professionally
and successfully antagonized the best
interests of the country.
Essential to this desired reform il
to bring the choice of Senators as
close as possible to the people The
House recognizes this fact and has
twice passed bill providing for pop
ular election of Senators, but the
bill was not permitted to see the
light of day in the Senate chamber
Two Senators, Villas and Tur,,in.
have spoken in favor OF the idea,
when presenting resolutions from he
Legislatures of their States, but no
definite action was taken by that
body, which seems to feel that it is
above and beyond the mandates OF
the people.
/ TO secure a choice of Senators by
direct vote of the people requires an
amendment to the constitution
This may be had in one of two ways,
although the general impre ssion
seems to be that there is ouly one
way, viz: A vote of two thirds Of
both Houses of Congress. ratified by
the Legisla lures of thrr, -fOurths Of
the States. Ii this was the only
means for an amrndment it's adop-
ton would be long way off, as it is
not likely that the Senate, IS at
present chosen. would lend lis efforts
towards obtaining the greatly 1t ed
ed reform.
Fortunately, however, our fore
fathers were wise enough to provide
another way for amending the Con-
stitution, which may be found in
Article V of that instrument. 1t
makes it Imperative upon Congress
to call a Convention for proposing
amendments on the application of
the Legislatures of two thirds of the
several States, the action of said
Convention to be valid when ratified
by the Legislatures of three fourths
of the States. So, here is a remedy
for the trouble-a remedy that is in
the hands of the people and that
Congress will be compelled to recog-
nize and act upon. Let the people
of the several States be not slow in
exercising their prerogative.
In the meantime, North Carolinians
should manifest their approval OF
the desirability of bringing the choice
of Senators as near as possible to
the people by holding primaries for
the selection of our Senators-the
closest possible approach, under ex-
listing circumstances, to direct cleo
ton.
