OF INTENSE INTEREST TO FARMERS.
How High Priced Beef and Cotton Seed
Are Related.

The Texas Cotton Seed Crushers'
Association at a late meeting held In
Texas, passed resolution confirming
that the high price Of beef was due to
a shortage in seed products. The fol-
lowing taken from the Cotton and
Farm Journal throws some light upon
this subject:
1.-THE rules adopted by the Texas
Cotton Seed Crushers' Association puts
it in line with the other associations OF
a similar kind in the South. 1t Is prob
able that there will be no more tnvas-
ion of Mississippi and Alabama by
Texas mills in search Of seed.
1.-THE cattlemen who were expected
here to expostulate over their alleged
bad treatment during the past year
have not put in appearance as yet, ano
may not. The crushers do not seem
concerned over the threat of some or
the cattlemen to operate their own
mills. The fact that the Swift Com
pany has recently purchased half
dozen mills at different points was
not commented on by any of the crush
ers to whom 1t was mentioned, save to
the effect that Swift would probably
be able to use more feed than those
mills would provide.
"A resolution was adopted deprecat-
ing any act Of congress that may tend
to reduce the price Of cattle and hogs,
and alleging that the present high
price of meat Is due to a shortage In
seed products
This would seem to show there were
two sides to this question of high beer
and that in so far as Texas is concerned
the price of beef is bound to vary with
the price of cotton seed hulls and cot
ton seed meal. In proportion as the
~ diminished
the cattle-raiserS have been compelled
to buy feed stuffs. and the only avail
able feed-stuffs in quantity Is cotton
seed hulls and cotton seed meal. Hulls
have been selling within the last year
Or two in Texas as high as $14 ton.
This means that the meat supply In
the future is largely dependent upon
the cotton SEED oil business. and that
he people of the Southeastern States
will probably so much more extensively
into the business of raising cattle for
beef purposes after they find out as
much about the values of hulls and
meal as the Texas cattle man has
found out by the necessities Of the
@ase. 1t would seem as though the
eastern farmer now has the advantage
Of the Texan in raising cattle for beef
purposes and in handling cattle for
dairy purposes.
All the cotton seed products that are
needed for cattle raising and compe-
tition with other markets can be had
right at home through the Southern
Cotton Oil Company Of the Carolinas
and Georgia, through any of its mills
or it's headquarters at Columbia, s. c.,

How COULD HE EARN IT?-M. Camille
Flammarion, the well-known French
writer on astronomy, mentioned at the
last meeting of the French Astronomi-
cal society, that the Christian era just
completed it's first milliard of minutes
Between January l of the year l and
April Is of the year 1902, at 6.10 p. m,
he says, just one thousand million min
utes have passed.
The statement suggests q realization
of the meaning of a thousand million
in the abstract, and still more Of a
thousand million in the concrete form
of money. Mr.. John D. Rockefeller's
fortune, for instance, is generally es-
timated at about two hundred million
dollars, or say a thousand million
francs. We all realize that this is an
enormous quantity, but the trouble
with most of us is that a single mil
lion seems almost as remote from our
possibilities as a thousand million, sc
that the greater sum does not differ
entiate itself sufficiently from the
smaller.
Let us see, then, what Mr.. Rockefel
ler's fortune of thousand million
francs means. 1t means that if man
had been working steadily day and
night from the birth of Christ to the
present time at the compensation of a
franc a minute his total earnings would
Just now have reached the amount of
Mr.. Rockefeller's pile. A franc min
ute is very handsome pay. 1t is $12 an
hour, or $500 a day. A man getting $500
every day from the beginning of the
year l to the present time and con-
suming none of his earnings would only
just now have as much as Mr.. Rookie
feller has. Or. putting it in another
way, imagine a town containing 300

THE TRENCH POSITION.

Paris, December 10 The foreign ofdce
here desires to have # understood that the
note sent To the French charge d'aflaircs
at Caracas does not ask Venezuela TO give
preferential treatment to French claims,
but only treatment equal to that which the
other powers may receive through their
recourse to force This applies only to
claims which have arisen since 1899, pre-.
vious Claims having been submitted to
arbitratlon Concerning recent claims,
France first offered to permit the Venc-
zuclau courts to pass upon them, but since
Germany aud Great Britain expect TO
secure preference by the adoption Of forcl-
bic collection, the Freuch charge d'afaires
has now been ordered to inform Venezuela
that France expects the same advantages
in the adjustment of claims as Venezuela
grants to Germany and England.
This IS not intended as corrective meas
ure, but only TO secure for France equal
treatment with the other powers,
Later in the day it was ascertained that
the French government has received de-
tails showing The American position to be
favorable to the acceptance Of arbitration
and opposing pacific blockade. II Was
said by officials here that the American al
ttude toward n puciac blockade was the
same as that asserted by Great Britain
when France sought to close the ports OF
Formosa against the rice trade. French
policy since theu has been frnily opposed
to pacinc blockades, Although such a pol
les had not been announced, it was APP
pIcablc to Venezuela.
