FARMER AND PLANTER
SALE OF oQTross $3.50.

Since tho time when cottoa-eeed OH
mills were safely established the rr5ce
Of seed has been an annual theme Oh
discussion between the farmer and mill
men. Lately tho matter has received
quasi state Importance from the politr
ical discussion over the cotton-eeed
trust.
With the farmer the question should
be: 'sAt what price can afford to sell
my cotton secd?'' and not 'sWhat price
can the mill men afford to pay?" since
the latter. question is beyond his con-
troll.
It is not likely that any discussion in
the press, or otherwise, will materially
influence the majority of farmers In the
disposal of their cotton seed. Whether
the price is Sl4 or "a per ton, the seed
will oe sold just the same-reluctantly.
perhaps, but none the less steadily.
The farmer is too prone to look upon
the sale of the seed as so much saved,
regardless of the price, but believe
there are some who. if clearly reminded
of the farm value of tho seed, will de-
mand certain price of the mill men or
use the secd at homo upon the farm.
Especially should this be done by the
farmers living upon the poorer lands OF
the state-land that is not sufficiently
fertile to begin with, and that will rap
idly grow poorer as each annual crop
of cotton is sold and nothing returned.
Upon richer land of the state, like the
black waxey and the alluvial river bot
toms, the seed is of less Importance;
but even there they have 4 great feed
ing value that should not be thought

been reduced to very common level.
One Of the class who was recognized as
having worn diamonds five years ago,
and who was known as one of the most
skillful shell workers in the country,
was the center of an eager group of boys
in the rear of big store at dinner hour
Saturday. He was seedy and run down,
and wreck of his former days, indicat-
ing that the shell swindle is too well
known nowadays TO be successfully
worked
He had basket in front of him, con.
tanning number of small paper bags.
In one hand he held a pretty gold ring,
and this he pretended to put into one OF
the bags. Then he shook the pile up.
"Pick it out for cent, boysP y he
cried many times.
cts in that one, cried one. "Thert
it is" shouted another. and so the boys
vigorously guessed, but they didn't pro
duce the pennies.
When the observer left, the decayed
thimble rigger was still monotonously
and despairingly calling out:
"Pick it out for cent, boys There's
no deception, and the lucky boy gets q
gold ring worth $50. Pick it out for a

A Hungarian paper says that Francis
Deak. the Hungarian statesman, used
70 get rid af troublesome visitors by
telling them the following story: Once,
when ii Paris, Napoleon and paid a
visit 10 q hospital for old soldiers. Here
he perceived among the rest a man who
had lost one of his arms, and he entered
into conversation with him. Where did
you lose your arm?' asked the emperor.
AT AusteIlitz, your majesty. Then
no doubt yon curse the emperor and
your country every time you look at
your mutilated limb?' No indeed, pro-
tested the veteran, for the emperor and
my native Land would readily sacrifice
my other arm if needs be. lean hardly
believe that, the emperor remarked
and passed on. But the soldier. anxious
to prove that he was in earnest, imme-
diately drew a saber from its sheath and

The Process by which the Useful silicate
Cotton Is Produced.

GOtAon - AO1u@SAs
OF those who know what mineral
wool is, or silicate cotton, as it is some
times called, probably only a small
number are familiar with the simple
process by which it is made. The wool
itself, serving variety of useful pnr-
poses, as a noncondueting covering
against heat and cold alike, for steam
pipes and cold storage room walls, as a
sound 'deadener' in floors Of buildings
and as a means of fireproofing, among
many Others, is, as its name implies, a
soft and woolly substance, consisting of
a mass of very fine mineral fibers inter-
lacing one another in every direction,
and thus forming an endless number of
minute air cells.
The wool appears on the market in a
variety Of colors, principally white, but
often yellow or gray and occasionally
quite dark aud is made by converting
scorial and certain rocks while in a
molten state into n fibrous condition by
asteam blast directed against the liquid
material Blast furnace Stag forms the
raw material for one variety Of the wool
and sandstone for another. yielding re-
spectiyely Stag wool and rock wool, the
latter being preferable for pipe covering
because of the absence from it of sui
phur, which, with moisture present, be-
comes an active corToding agent.
The furnace Stag on the rock, as the
case may be, is melted in large cupo-
la, and as it trickles out at the tap hole
in a somewhat sluggish stream it meets
q high pressure steam jet which atom
lies the woolen mineral, if it may be so
termed, blowing it in fieecy clouds into
the storage room provided for it. Soft
and doVwny, the stuff settles wherever a
resting place affords itself, the heavier
and easier wool coming down first, while
the lighter portions are blown farther
along by the force of the steam and set
tie in the more distant parts OF the
room, the material thus naturally grad
ing itself into varieties of different
quality.
A thousand pounds of wool per hour
are turned out by one of the cupolas,
and after the storage room has been
blown full the fiocculent mass is pushed
into bags, ready for the market. The
whole process affords an admirable and
interesting illustration of the utilization
of an utterly waste product. .--Cassier' s

ed home, is a bluff veteran Of the old
school of the navy. He was appointed
from North Carolina in 1850 and has
served 45 years ashore and afloat under
the stars and stripes. He became rear
admiral last March, since when he has
furnished several mild sensations in
naval circles He has opinions of his
own and does not hesitate to air them
whenever he likes, a fact that has
aroused the wrath of Secretary Herbert
and caused the admiral's recall
He first attracted attention by CON
graduating President Faure Of France
upon his election, not, he says, as an Of
ficer of the United States, but as per-
sonal friend Secretary Herbert, how
ever, declared that the admiral's posi-
tion representing the dignity of the
United States navy in European waters
precluded him from making any com
ment whatever on French politics. Ad-
miral Kirkland appealed to the presi-
dent, who apparently sustained Secretary
Herbert.
The admiral next became conspicuous
through newspaper interview, in which
he said that some Of the American mis-
sionaries he had been protecting in Syria
during the Armenian troubles were lit
tie better than penitentiary outcasts.
These structures were brought to the at
tention of Secretary Herbert by pro-
test from Boston religious organizations
and made him still more displeased
with the admiral Not long thereafter a
chaplain in the navy complained that
Kirkland had insultingly ordered him
below while at hiel because he was not
attired in full dress uniform. As chap
lains have only one regulation uniform
for all occasions. the complainant
thought himself very badly used. These
accusations and others of similar ma
ture, it is said, have caused the admiral's
fall from favor.
AS he has served as years he is en-
titled TO retirement, and may leave the
active list Of the navy very soon. While
his recall is uncomplimentary to him
self, there is no disposition at the navy
department, it is said, to belittle his
record as Z. sailor, which is very cred
liable one.
