A NEW SOURCE OF WEALTH.
A New Line of Work far the Southern
cottonseed Oil Mills in the idle
Season.

1t has been known all along that the
removal of the tax on denatured alco-
hol would lead to the use of enormous
quantities of potatoes for the manu-
facture of this product; now 1t devel-
ops that the cotton oil mills Of the
south may put all other enterprises
at a disadvantage in this work. A
practical test was made recently by
Mr.. J. C. Spurlin, of Arkansas, show
ing that the oil manchinery is espe-
cially adapted to the work, and at the
meeting of the South Carolina Cotton
Seed Crushers' association the mat
ter was extensively discussed. the
possibility OF using sweet as well as
irish potatoes being considered. The
Charleston News and Courier, writ
ing of the matter says:
1.-THE suggestion of Mr.. Christopher
Crushers' association that cottonseed
oil mill machinery might perhaps be
utilized for the manufacture of dena-
tured alcohol from sweet potatoes and
Irish potatoes, deserves careful inVes-
tigation. The removal by Congress on
the tax on denatured alcohol is ex.
pected to cause a revolution in many
of the arts, and it is promised that the
demand for the liquid will be enor-
nous. We have already pointed out
that, if potatoes may be proftably
employed in the manufacture, the con
ditions are present in South Carolina
for the development O., a new and i'm
portant industry.
"The one drawback to the cotton
seed crushing business is that 1T
season is short. The mills are al
work from the beginning of the cotton
harvest in September until February
or March, and for the remaining
months OF the year the plants are
dead To find even partial employ
ment for the mills in the summer, ice
making machines have been built II
connection with them and variou!
other schemes have been tried. Gen
orally these have not proved success
full. and in most of the oil mills in thS
South the engines are idle while fxet
charges continue and lessen thu
profits to the owners.
Potatoes begin to come In very sool
after the supply Of cotton h exhaust

kill and Talent Command Greater
Rewards Than Ever In
Worlds History.

IN the>e days the surgeon who n
master Of his science receives fees
which would havostartledt the surgeons
and the public so years ago. A fee Of
$4,000 is not uncommon for an op-
GRAFTON which can be performed in
comparatively little time. OF course,
$4,000 is not the maximum fee.
There are cases, it is stated, in
which IS much as $4,000 has been
paid. When life Is hanging by q
thread the question of fees is i'm
material. The average man will give
all that he has, if required, to get a
new lease of life through the sur.
geon's skill. A famous throat spe-
cialist was once. summoned from
London to treat the father of thu
present kaiser. He remained only a
few days after making a diagnosis.
He rendered no bill. but it is said
the German government gave him a
fee which represents half a years
earnings of the specialist, who had a
very large income from his profes-
sion. Even the literary man receives
large fees for his work. Mr.. John
Morley, it has been stated, was paid
$4,000 to write the Life of Glad
stcne." Certainly, great skill and
talent never commanded greater re-
wards than they do now. It is an era
of big things.

For Fall! FORAGE,

Dwarf Essex rape should be sown
at once as fall feed. Rape looks
very much like the turnip. It is wide
ly cultivated in Europe and will be in
United States when the farmers learn
its value. In the south it can be
sown for fall and winter forage. It
desires a rich soil, but will do well
where an average yield of corn can
be produced 1t takes from the soil
almost similar quantity of nitrogen,
potash and phosphoric acid that corn
does, but If hogs be kept upon it, the
condition of the land will. be in much
better condition than IL corn crop
had been grown upon it. Where plat
of land has been In rape and the crop
has been eaten by hogs or sheep a
wheat crop following on that same
land will produce an increased yield.
This is an important discovery to the
farmers who are complaining about
small wheat crops.-Southern Guilt

Another Australian Experiment.
Suitable farming land is provided by
the Australian government for groups
of men and their families that will; Ill
timately form village settlements, but
they are not to be cooperative-each
settler will stand Or fall on his own
merits. Government overseers will
guide and instruct the settlers for two
years, and the house erected for his
use can be used as a public hall or
school. Plain rations, implements, a
small stock Of cows, poultry, etc.:
roofing material, water tanks, etc, will
be supplied for the first year. This will
be charged as loan and must be
eventually refunded to the state.

HERE AND THERE.

Weedy pastures are said to be ap-
petizing for sheep; If true there are
portions of the southwest that
would be veritable sanitariums for
sheep.
The vitality of the flock is often
impaired by breeding immature ewes.
Many excellent breeders say the eve
should be two years old when its first
lamb is dropped.
Insects and worms are great enc
mics to all kinds OF fruit trees and
should be destroyed by man. No grass
or weeds should ever be allowed to
grow near newly-rlanted trees.
A profitable orchard is not a pomo-
logical museum There must be a
large quantity of uniform fruit to
make any district commercially prom
lent
There are many ways in which a
southern farmer can achieve success;
each individual should choose sys-
tenn that according to his means, sur.
roundings and ability or tastes offers
to him the greatest certainty of HIS
succeeding, and then push it for all
there is In 1t.
Good farming increases rather than
diminishes soilfertility. In almost
every community there are farmers
who are increasing and conserving
the productivity of the soil, but it il
an undisputed fact that where there
is one such farmer there are ter
whose carelesseness suffers their land
to run down and grow weaker under
cultivation.
Among the summer crops that may
be grown by seeding broadcast may b.
mentioned millet. Hungarian grass
rape and COW peas. Corn may also
be grown profitably for fodder by
broadcasting the seed, but the pre-

plicable to rape and COW peas.

A new fruit that seems likely to
prove of considerable value has been
developed by the cultivation of the
very familiar "maypop," plant which
is very familiar in the southern states,
quite ornamental, easily grown from
seeds and affords a handsome cover for
erbors and verandas. 1t is known to
botanists as passiflora incarnata. The
fruit in its improved form is somewhat
bigger than hens egg and decidedly
palatable.. 1t looks like a May apple.
