Eryptinn Cotton in Te,,,

Egyptian cotton is being introduced
In Texas and promises to revolutionize
the cotton industry of the South. 1t is
said that it is much more desirable
than the cotton raised in the United
States now, and even better than the
Sea Island cotton. The Egyptian cot
ton has much longer fiber than other
cottons, and its seed can be removed
SO easily that it is not necessary to cut
up the cotton in ginning it.

az Ia FaCtOrys
In 1870, the census did not report a
pound of butter made in factories; in
1880. 30,000,00O pounds, out of a prod
uct of S07,000,0OO, was factory made;
In 1900 the factory product Of butter
was 400, 10000 pounds, out Of grand
total of 1902, 100000 pounds, the fac
tory product being 2s2 per cent Of the
whole. Cheese making shows a still
more remarkable transformation. In
1860 there was no cheese making in fac
tories reported. In 1870 the factories
made more than one-half our cheese;
and in 1900 the farms made but 1872
600 pounds, or less than 6 per cent of
the whole product of 3O0,O0O,OOO.
Illustrations might be multiplied in
definitely to show the encroachment of
the factory upon the function of the
farm. Indeed. 1t is becoming most
difficult matter for the census makers
to determine where to draw the line be-
tween agriculture and manufactures In
many branches of industry. But the
farm Is the twin sister of the factory;
they flourish or are depressed in per-
feet sympathy; and American suprem-
acy In manufactures is due, in very
large degree, to the abundance of our
agricultural products. OF the raw ma
terials consumed in manufactures, ag-
riculture supplied $1,94O. 727 900 in
value, or s1.2 per cent of the total; the
mines supplied $319,975. 900, or 1874 per
cent in value; and the forest $11S,SO3,-
600, or 5 per cent of the total; while
from ocean, lake and river came only
S9,635,00 or 0.04 per cents. N. d.

Scarcity of Beef and Mutton.
The setting and fencing of farms in
those locations where cattle and sheep
have been allowed to Craze freely
upon government land has helped to
make an advance in the prices of our
meats. The conditions are different
from what they were twenty years
ago, yet we think this may be in part
overcome by the fattening of cattle at
an earlier age, and by better cultiva-
ton and the introduction Of better
grasses on the grazing lands. and bet
ter feeding and care of stock when
they are brought to the stables. In
stead Of requiring fifty acres to each
steer they are now beginning to claim,
or the best feeders are. that three
acres of grass is enough for a steer.
We have known men in New England
who found one acre produce forage for
a COW in milk, excepting the grain food
which was purchased. When our beef
growers reach that capacity they will
find 1t costs no more to grow a fat
animal than 1t did when they had
range which was unlimited and with
out cost.-New England Homestead.

Sheep-Feeding.
One of the largest farmers and
sheep-feeders In Nebraska saws that
sheep-feeding in the State will be ON a
large scale this year, the indications
being that at least eight hundred thou

He claims that the corn crop is likely
to prove yield of three hundred mil
lion bushels. and that while there IRE
large numbers Of sheep and lambs
available, prices are well maintained
because of the demand for feeders. In
Colorado the business may be less
than usual, us the alfalfa crop has
been but light, owing to a drought and
lack of water supply in the irrigated
regions. Receipts of sheep and lambs
at Chicago have already exceeded the

WAS A GOOD MAN
Barberton Will be Sorry Engineer

Especial Correspondence.)

Barberton, Sept. 1S-In Mr.. Alcorn,
who for several years has been the
City Civil Engineer, Barberton has
lost a valuable servant, for though ex-
tremely modest and unassuming, he
is an expert in his business and it will
be long before the city will secure as
good an engineer. Being in the employ
of Mr.. Johnston, Mr.. Alcorn had access
to all the maps and information in the
hands of the Barberton Land Co.,
which was of incalcuable value to him
as City Engineer. A new man com.
ing here to do the work without this
Information will be handicapped in
many ways, and will find all sorts Of
difficulties confronting him.
Beside criticizing the work of the
Engineer at every turn and taking it
upon himself to explain to the Coun-
Gil just how grading and various other
matters should be done, one Council
man, was not satisfied without heap
ing insult after insult on the Engineer,
accusing him Of dishonesty, and of
holding his job by a political pulp
and personal preference"
This Is the second Engineer the city
has lost in this manner, as MIR. John
ston had acted in this capacity prior
to the employing of Mr.. Alcorn. The
same methods were used with him ana
with the same result.

1t is evident that the suggestion
made some time ago by Commissioner
Louis Seybold, who thought the Police
could trim the trees along their beats,
was not taken up, for there have
been numerous complaints, both by
the police and by citizens, to the ef-
feet that trees along many of the
streets of the city are not kept trim

are allowed to come within a few, feet
OF the ground. Hats are OCCASION

There Will now be action. however,
and the owners Of property where
such trees grow must keep then,
trimmed according to law, or the city
will do it for them and then charge
them for the service. Copies of the
law which provides this have been
printed, and these will be given by
policemen to citizens whose trees are
not properly trimmed. If the warn.
ing is not needed, the city win GO
ahead. The law provides that the
trees must be kept clear Of branches
to a height of nine feet from the
earth.
