Oil From Mesquite Beans.

The problem Of how to utilize the
vast quantities of mesquite beans that
grow Oh the prairies Of western Texas
has, it is believed, been solved NJ
merous experiments at converting the
bean into a marketable commodity have
been made in recent years, but have
been productive Of no permanent results
AS told in The be-Democrat the
manager Of the Luling cotton oil mill
believes he has solved the problem. He
had gathered a ton of mesquite beans
and treated in the same manner as cot
tonseed. From the ton of beans he Sc
cured l61a gallons Of clear amber col.
ored oil, very rich and with very
pleasant aromatic smell. The cake is
dark brown, quite oily and is eaten
greedily by stock. It is we'll known
fact that stock fatten rapidly on the
beans, and that the year when the crop
is heavy one is always a prosperous
one for stockmen. This year the beans
are very plentiful, thousands of tons of
them falling from the trees and rotting.
Ii they could be saved in the shape of
oilcake, there would be almost enough
to carry stock through the winter.

this outlet of boards or plank in the
form of long box from 8 to IS inches
in width and height. For permanence
it might be better to use metal pipe,

Having placed the outlet box or pipe

taken i'll building the wall at this par

Clay should be carefully tamped around

cut off i'll such position as to slope

INTENSIVE FARMING,

Does intensive farming pay? If it
does, every farmer should adopt and
practice its methods. If it does not, ev-
cry farmer ought to know it, SO he can
avoid even the slightest approach to it.
| writer in Southern Cultivator, who
| confines his remarks to growing cotton,

crop of the south and second because
cotton responds more readily to "high
culture than any other farming prod
uct, says, however, that the conclusion
reached will be found also true of corn.
oats, wheat and hay to greater or less
deSree. He writes as follows:
- 1t Is the accepted opinion among
probably the majority of farmers that
high farming large yields per acre
was profitable when cotton was 10
cents pound, but it would not do. and
would result in actual loss, when cot
ton was selling for 6 cents; that, then,
1t is cheaper and better to rely on a
large acreage with small acre produc-
ton than on highly fertilized acres. In
other words, their doctrine is that only
when cotton is selling for more than 8
cents will it pay to fertilize heavily.
When 1t brings less than this price it
Will not pay to heavily fertiIize in order
to get large yields.
1t is the purpose of this communica-
ton to show that this doctrine is a false
one and that nothing is further from
the truth than the opinion of its adher-
ents. The truth is this: Whether cotton
be high or low, under present coudi-
lions pound Of cotton can be raised at
less cost when bale and a half to the
acre Is produced on highly fertilized
land which has been gradually but
steadily brought up. than when ouly
nall bale to the acre is produced on

In this connection figures are given
showing Its cost per acre when I-3
baIes are produced and the cost Der
acre when one-half bale is produced, In
comparing the two it is noticed that the
expanse of cultivation, "incidentals''
and rent of land are the same in both
cases. Because they are the same in
practice whether half a bale or two
pales per acre are raised is powerful
argument III favor of securing large
yields per acre. The same rate is also
pxed for picking and ginning in both

What Standard Oil Has Done.

Ex-tiov. Roswell P. Flower. OF New
York, writes as follows in Guntoa s
Magnzinc of the bene fits brought the
people by at least our gigantic trust
and one too that has received per
haps as much or more abuse than
any other. He says:
The Standard Oil company prob
ably the best example of the pure
| trust form of organization. 1t was
the first in the field, has had the
most abuse and lived the longest,
and hence is the most preventative.
| have looked this up also. 1t was
organized in 1872 and prior to that
time Oil was poor and even danger
Gus to use. Exploding lamps were
of daily occurrence. With the organ
ization of the trust. the capital that
was previously scattered among
large number of small concerns was
concentrated and the skilful knowl-
edge of the best concerns was APP
piled to the methods of all. Imme-
diatel Y there began series of eX-
periments for improving the quality
as well as reducing the cost of re-
timing and transporting oil. Among
there economies was system of pipe
lines, by which oil can be directly
pumped from the we'll, to the re-
tineries at the great centers. There
were two such lines reaching New
York, one each to Philadelphia, Bal
timore, Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburg
and Chicago. This was saving Of
over 80 per cent. in the cost of trans
portation.
IN other departments of the bust
ness | find that similar economies
have been developed. In the manu-
facture of barrels the cost has been
reduced to an aggregate of nearly
S4,O0o,OJO a year. In the manufac-
ture of tin cans saving of 80 per
cent. has been made since 1874
Since the company uses about 3d.
OOO,O tin cans Il year, this economy
amounts to a saving Of about 81 800
OOD annually. 1t is the same with
the wooden cases, where the price
has been reduced from 20 to ID cents
since 1874, an actual saving of 81,
25D. 900. A a result of these ecOnO-
mics and Improvements in the
methods Of refining, which the greater
concentration of capital has made
possible, the quality of the oil has
been improved, the explosive element
having been eliminated and the
illuminating quality greatly increas
ed, and the price to consumershas
been reduced from 24.24 cents per
gallon to 6.25 cents per gallon, or
over IS per cent.
