Cotton and Frost.

A correspondent writes to the Char
lotte Observer: Some days ago, par
ty of Mississippi and Louisiana cotton
planters at the Hot Springs, N. c., ho-
tel were discussing the cotton problem
of the South and whether the agita-
tion about raising the staple in Africa
would ever seriously affect the mar
kets of the world. A successful plant
er from Texas parish, in Louisiana,
thought that Africa could not make
any material increase in tie yield, for,
said he, "John G. Calhoun and Gen.
Hampton were both Of the opinion
that cotton could not be produced
where the frost never fell, and l agree
with them that frost is necessary to
prepare the conditions for a healthy
cotton growth" Continuing, he said
that the sugnr lands of Louisiana
were the richest in the South, and
yet they could not successfully grow
cotton. The question about frost and
fruition of the plant was new one to
most of the listeners aud they did not
combat the assertion.
a very large and wealthy sugar
planter from New Orleans, and who
now is also the owner Of extensive
tracts Of land in Cuba, on being told
Of the discussion, attached but little
Importance to the proposition about
the fall Of frost. On one of his plan
tations, Cuba, was cotton tree sever
al years old, and the women had been
gathering the cotton for domestic use
as they needed it. On another plan
tation in Cuba, he had successfully
raised some sea island cotton and sent
it to New York to broker who pro
nounced it worth % cents pound.
He had only, however, tried the ex-
pertinent for one year. He said the
reason cotton could not be raised upon
the loamy sugar lands of Louisiana
was because the worm and bugs seri-
ously interfered with the growth Of
the plant.
The Texas planter in this connec-
tion interposed pertinent question
which yet remains unanswered: eff
Cuba is such o fine cotton country,
why was cotton not raised there dur
ing the four years of the civil war,
when cotton was worth 81 pound?"
A Yozoo, Miss, planter volunteered
the statement that Mexico had grown
some cotton during the war, but could
in no way compete with the South, on
account Of the fact, as he believed,
that there was insufficient frost to ar
rest tbs rank vegetation aud bring
about maturing of the plant.
There seemed to be wide variance
of views about this cotton and frost
question. A large commission mer.
chant from New Orleans, and one we'll
acquainted with the farming interests
of his section, said that as sugar max
ing was no longer profitable, and shad
but little future prospects in Louis
lana, he knew personally Of number
cf sugar plant,s who had gone to
raising cotton in the sugar parishes,
and that cotton wasi looking exceed
ingly we'll. One friend had 200 acres
another $50 acres of as fine cotton as
could be found. The frost did not fall
there.
What about the cotton Of Egypt,
and does the frost fall in Egypt

Run by Mouse Power.

Thrift is generally acknowledged to
be one of the leading characteristics
of the native Of Fifeshire, and it new
was more forcibly exemplifed than in
the person Of David Hutton, q
native of Dqnfermline, who act
ually proved that even mice, those
acknowledged pests of mankind, could
be made not only to earn their own
living, but also to yield respectable
income to their owners!
About the year 1920 this gentleman
actually erected small mill at Dun
fermline for the manufacture of thread
--s mill worked entirely by mice. 1t
was while visiting Perth prison in
1872 that Mr. Hutton first conceived
this remarkable idea of utilizing mouse
power. In an old pamphlet of the
time, "The Curiosity Coffee Room, f"
he gave an account of the way in
which the idca dawnei on MIN. "In
the summer Of the year 1872" he
wrote, I had occasion to be in Perth
and when inspecting the toys and
trinkets that were manufactured by
the French prisoners in the depot
there, my attention was involuntarily
attracted by little toy hou5e, with a
wheel in the gable of it that was run
ming rapidly round, impelled by the
Insignificant gravity of a common
house mouser For one shilling 1 pur.
chased house, mouse and wheel. In
closing it in handkerchief, on my
journey homeward I was compelled to
contemplate its favorite amusemen t..
But how to apply half-ounce power
(Which is the weight of mouse) to a
useful purpose was the difficulty. At
length the manufacturing of sewing
thread seemed the most practicable. I"
Mr.. Hutton had one mouse that
ran the amazing distance of eighteen
miles day, but he proved that an or
dinary mouse could run ton and one
half miles on an average. A half
penny's worth of oatmeal was sufi :
cient for its support for thirty-ive
days, during which itran 1876 half

constantly employed in the making Of
sewing thread for more than a year.
The mouse thread mill was 80 con-
strueted that the common house mouse
was enabled to make atonement to
society for past offences by twisting,
twining and rceling from 100 to 1870
threads day, Sundays not excepted.
To perform this task the little pedes-
trian had to run ten and ore.half
miles, and this journey is performed
with ease every day. In the period
of five weeks it made $3.50 threads Of
twenty five inches, and as penny was
paid to women for every hank made
in the ordinary way, the mouse, at
that rate, earned ninepence every six
weeks, just one farthing day, or sew
en- shillings and sixpence. year.
Taking sixpence off for board and
allowing one shilling for machinery,
there was clear profit from each
mouse of six shillings. Mr.. Hutton
firmly intended to apply for the loan
