DRAMA OF TWO WOMEN.

In room, half-study. half-bedroom,
TWO women We're talking. They We're
both young, both moderately good-look
ing, and both, in different way, had
intelligent bright eyes that observed
much and betrayed little. One woman
was a small, passionate person with a
delicate mouth, and she was called
Isabel.
The other woman was n small, pas
sionate person, with full pale lips and
an aggressive chin. She was called
Lillian.
1t was a cool summer evening, after
dinner, but the room seemed hot to
both of them, owing to the point in
discussion.
Isabel spoke:

There was pause. Isabel paced the

distinct contradiction to their presence
she sighed.

VALUE OF THE sUNFLOWER AS
FOOD FOR STOCK.
How to Cultivate lt-Refuse as Ma
nure-Can be Made a Paying Crop.

sunfower industry abroad our
readers are indebted to John Thin
BILE, Secretary of the National
Grange:
The discovery of sunflower oil
as a food was an accident. 1t be-
| ing recommended to a Russian fsr-
mer to prevent sickness, he tested
its remedial values and then began
to use it as food to his family and
and the cake to the stock. So pop
ular for oil and food has the sun
flower industry of Russia become,
that in 1882 there were 367, ,889
acres in cultivation; in 1886-87,
704, 1876 acres. Seed is of the
large and small varieties, the latter
used for oil, and the former eaten
the same as peanuts. A Russian
farmer gives the yield of seeds at
A, ,450 to 1000 pounds per acre, and
nets the grower $2S to $31 per acre.
An American chemist living in
St. Petersburg in 1868 made COM
pound lard, taking Sunfower oil as
the base, which was superior to
hogs lard iii every respect for do
mestic purposes. Some of this
compound was sent to food ex-
position in Holland and took the
first prize as pure refined hogs lard.
He then produced, from the same
oil, oleomargarine, which also took
a premium as creamery butter.
From the residuum of the oil he
manufactured fine washing and
toilet soaps, which are standard
brands in Europe and South Amer
lea. Druggists use the refined oils
in preparing liniments, salves and
hair lotions. When properly treat
ed, it is used on the most delicate
machinery as lubricator.
The annual output of all the sun
flower oil mills in value is estimat-
ed at 81, 100000 for the oil only.
Oil cake is put at 100000. The
oil cake is largely consumed in
Russia, Germany, England, Swe-
den, Denmark and Holland, as
feed for cattle. The stock-raisers
and farmers of these countries re-
gard the oil cake as the best food to
be obtained for cattle. They claim
for it superiority over hemp or rape
seed fer producing flesh on beef cat
tie, and equally as good for increas-
ing the supply of milk in milch
cows. A German farmer reports
that he increased the flesh of an OK
three pounds per day by feeding on
sunfower oil cake. These people
also hold it in high esteem as a
horse feed. They say it produces
flesh and gives the hair a lively,
slick appearance. The dried cups
are fed to sheep, and the faulty
seeds are used as feed for barnyard
fowls. In many sections where
wood is scarce the stalk and shells
are used for fuel, which answers as
good substitute. The ash from
the sunfiower contains large per
cent. of potassium. Experiments
have proven that 1000 pounds Of
dried stalks yield fifty-seven pounds
of ash, and from 1000 pounds Of
ash $50 pounds of the best potas-
sium is obtained. According to
the analysis of chemists, the ash
of the sunf1ower contains about 80
per cent. of potassium, and it is
also claimed by these scientists that
if the soil is very rich the plant will
take up 80 per cent. of potassium.
The ashes are sold to soap-makers.

~e-~f Dayton Nevada Saturday, December 8, 1894

Mr. duncan, an extensive coCtOn
planter in the Mississippi bottom,
who visited Russia last year for the
purpose of gaining information in
regard to the culture Of the sun
flower in that country, gives his
observation as follows: "The Rus
slams who grow the plant generally
SOW the seeds after crop of wheat
and rye has been harvested from
the land. Some sow after oats and
Ibuckwheat, but have found it less
profitable to SOW after the latter, as
the buckwheat takes up such a
large per cent. of potassium from
the soil that the flower does not pay.
It thrives and heads well after crops
of rye and clover. The land in
tended to be planted is thoroughly
plowed in the Fall and left until
the next Spring, at which time the
seeds are sown, either in drills or
broadcast. If in rows, they are
planted from twelve to twenty-four
inches apart, depending largely on
the fertility of the soil. On some
of the rich, black lands they grow
from four to six crops without rest
ing the land"
Mr.. Duncan continues: "The
Russians estimate that the stocks
and leaves of one crop, if left on
the land, will manure the soil suf-
fciently to six or more crops con-
secutively without additional fer
tilizing. The roots of the stalks
soon rot in the ground and leave
about one ton of manure TO the
acre in the soil, which is very fine
for the next crop. The plant re-
quires but little attention or labor
after planting. When it is about
ten or twelve inches high the soil
should be cleaned of grass and
weeds. That is all that will be re-
quired until harvest. Harvest
time varies according to soil, eli
mate and exposure of the flower to
the sun. The usual time is fixed
from September 1st to October 10Th.
When the seeds are fully ripe, the
heads of the flowers are cut from
the stalks and placed in drying
sheds for the purpose of curing
them the same as curing leaf tobac-
CO. When the flower is fully dry
the seeds are threshed from the
cups and screened and run through
a fanmill, and are then ready for
the seedmill."
In conclusion Mr.. Duncan says:
"After carefully examining every
feature of this new and novel in
dustry, as conducted by the Rus
SLAMS, l am induced to believe that
with our improved mode of farm
ing, together with our climate and
soil, the cultivation of the sun
flower can be made one of the best
paying crops that the average
American farmer can raise. When
we take into consideration the
great saving of labor and expense
in producing the crop ready for
market, as compared with others,
it is wonderful"

THE EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION.
MIR. Chas. II. i. Taylor Made the Prfn-

AS is usual on such occasions jealousy
was apparent among the participants in
the emancipation parade yesterday. and
Chief Marshal Asbury Jones experienced
considerable difficulty in keeping his forces

invited guests were seated in carriages, and
the program of exercises was conducted as

ence, and that better things are in store
for them, Mr.. Taylor concluded as follows:
The Colored Man and the Newspapers.
The negro must initiate the virtues of
the white man. to the exclusion Of his vices
Copy all OF the good. eschew all of the
bad. The negro should keep in mind the
golden rule. He should never do unto any
one what he would not have some one do
unto him. Elements are at work in our
favor 1t Is impossible to unite the white
man against us. The daily papers all over
this land are telling of our proud achieve
ments; In this city, the Post and The Star
have been a power for good in our behalf
This can be said OF all the great papers of
the country. They are giving US reasonable
support in our efforts TO prove ourselves
good American citizens. II is fortunate for
us that We have such Christian hearted
men In chaig OF our metropolitan papers
That we appreciate the work of these
papers in our behalf is manifested by the
homes. especially The Star II we can get
the great papers of the United States TO
night for stricter immigration laws we will
be satisfied. Each immigrant coming here
should be required TO pay a tax OF 500. he
should be able to at least read and write
his own language. he should hold a GER
tihcate showing good character, signed by
our consul In the country from which he
comes Added TO this. he should not he
allowed the ballot here until he had met all
the requirements demanded OF our citizens
VINO should go from here to his country
III this law is passed and enforced. we need
nothing further. We will prove our ability
to survive. we will show to the world that
we are part of those who constitute the
'fttest,' and that the end has all sunshine
and no shadow.
This day should never be forgotten. 1t
should be always remembered Those
among us who would laugh at YOU for
observing II are foolish. The passover is
still kept. The last supper will never faSsa
away. The Declaration OF Independence is
reverted to every year. Why should we
forget the birth of q race? There NAV be
debate about the best way to observe the
day, but. in my judgment II would be
criminal TO give no sign on each recurring
anniversary of what great things i'm our
behalf God has wrought. We owe IL TO
ourselves to push the scoffers aside and
continue to show to those who prayed for
this day that we cannot forget II in thirty
two years, nor in thirty-two million years"
Mr.. Douglass Was Brief.
Frederick Douglass was next called upon
to address the assemblage. but he stated
that the time belonged to the future re-
corder OF deeds. All Mr.. Douglass would
say was that he heartily Endorsed Mr..
Taylor for the Office named, and If a fight
was made In the Senate over the confirma-
ton the sole reason for such action would
be because the appointec is a colored man
