GOOD NETS FOB FARNEEs.
Their Gotten Seed Rendered Vastly
MoYa Valuable.

7estment expert and aetuary Of Wssh-
ington, D. c., arrived in Charleston one
day last week for the purpose O. &C.
quairting tae Southern people With
olscc7erv or invention, just perfected
at the National Cs2itsi, Hhish, ne
thinks, promises to completely roTolu-
tion:z5 the cotton seed oil Industry. Il
is unoers:c :cod thst The present. process
for tie turning ont Of cotton seed Gil
reori:es the use Of six different ma
chimes. The MoFarlars. Rs;nohl in
7en:icn relating 70 treating cotton seed,
snd for which a pstent wsE applied for
ten DAYS ago, according TO sSstenent
made Ffiaay By Mr. Hesrd to repor-
ter for Tie News SD Courier, will 90
awsy with taese six pieces Of mgchin-
erg altogether. The seeds are p!.oad
in a large 7st containing certsia
chemical solution, and sitter lapse C
twenty minutes the hulls pop opaa sca
float On the surface, while the oeGuded
kernels fsii to tie bottom OF Sae yas.
United States Chemist Wyiie, OF he
department Of agriculture, kss pro-
nounced this discovery as anorg the
most 8oDdeful OF modern zines. De
has studied the matter carefully and
he sses in it a rpsedy change from the
old time methods Of producing cotton
seed oil, Congressman Livingston, Of
Grorgia, is interested il the scheme.
He has always had the welfare Of the
Southern farmer st hssra and ae be-
lie7es that this invention vii. result in
great benefit to them IN more ways thao
one. By the use Of the machine for
separating the cotton seed kernels from
the hulls and lint tie small percentage
Of kernels which adhere to the huils al
ter they have been opened, and the
kernels which become e1ta2gied IN the
lint CT fibre, are recovered, and The
lint partially dried and rendered fluffy.
The following machines now required
are discarded: Machine Tor cleaning
seed Of sand, machine for removing
bolls, pieces of wood, cts, magnetic
machine for removing iron, nails, etc,
deliating machine, huiling machine
and a reel for separating meats from the
hulls. In addition to the vat already
mentioned machine is utilized for
drying the kernels VIXEN they ara 20 CO
transported s distance TO a. oil mill, or
when the oil is to be extracted imme-
distely. The seed are taken directly
from the Tas to the crushing rolls, the
mash is heated snd the oil extracted in
the usual Tsy. It may then be refined
OF shipped as crude oil. The crushing
rolls now in use ere adapted fer csush-
iag the seed.
THE prcduct Of these processes"
ssi6 Mc BEARD, namely, drled cotton
seed kernels, rs51cs5 the weight o4e-
half and tie bulk two thirds for trans
porta:ion - oil mills, While the ooss Of
6enuding the kernels is reduced nearly,
if not fully, 80 per cent SIS compared
to the present prevailing practice CT
t,easing seed by deiinting and hu!Iiog
the seed by mechanical nsaDs. lt also
leaves the hul!s sn the Int in condition
for paper stock Of very high quality.
This stock is worth f:on one 10 tEo
cents per pound, while the ksrnels are
il condition for reduction TO meal for
extracting oil. In both these processes
the chemical solution may be used re-
peatedly By maintaining It's strength.
Now il regard to extracting Gil
from Gotten seed, the Erst g-ooess Of
treating cotton seed b. the chemical
soiusion is carried On tEo steps further,
and the oil extracted sheTafron in three
steps or operations, as aginsG tea steps

sent COST Of refining cotton seed oil.
Another inpo1tan: point is that il
the transportation Of eo:tol seed treated
by the foregoing processes only the ke7-
mel or nsat Of the 5eso IS shipped from
the ginpery, thus reducing the Geiglt
