State Capital Notes
Law Affects Cotton Seed Meal.

Commissioner Guy B. Tucker holds that cottonseed meal, which is regard ed as a fertilizer, lawfully comes under the provisions of the act passed by the recent legislature, providing for the regulation registration, sale, inspection and analysis of commercial fertilizers, acid phosphates, fertilizer materials and chemicals in the State of Arkansas" The commissioner claims that cottonseed meal comes under the head of fertilizer materials, and that it is a commercial fertilizer, and is therefore subject to the provis- ions of the act. The law provides that 1t shall be unlawful for any manu- facturer or company, either by them selves or their agents, to sell or offer for sale in this State any fertilizer or fertilizer materials that have not been registered with the commissioner of mines, manufactures and agricul' ture. There Is a great deal of cot tonseed meal in which hulls are mixed that is sold not only for fertilizing pur- poses, but for feed. All this stuff, the commissioner says, shall bear the tag of the commissioner of agriculture, showing that the law has been com piled with. In case the oil mills should be required to tag their packages of meal, it is estimated that the revenue to the State from this source would be considerable. The fee for inspect ing fertilizing material of this kind is 25 cents per ton

Valuable Invention.

That 81. Johns is uptodate aud
sometimes ahead of the day is fully
demonstrated by the invention OF
Charles X, Foss OF North Fillmore
street. Mr.. Foss has invented and
received his caveat for a Compost
tion Railroad Tie. which for solid
ity, rigidity and durability we be-
lieve cannot be excelled, and these
three indispensable characteristics
are recognized as the most difficult
OF attainment in the making OF
railroad ties. Mr.. Foss has over
come all three, and at a cost really
below that OF any other tie made,
particularly when the life OF the tie
is considered,
The tie is made of a combination
of cement, sand. wood pulp and
iron, hence the name Composition
Railroad Tie. The three samples
which We saw in Mr.. Foss' shop
were OF size for the standard
guage track, were ten inches wide
on the bottom, eight inches high
and as wide at the top. The spikes
are riveted to plates of iron 3xIa
inches and - inch thick, placed
where the rail will come on the tie
and bedded in the center from the
top TO the bottom of the tie. They
are spaced SO that the rail will slip
between the spikes and they are
then bent over tightly to the base
OF the rail with the spike maui.
II is impossible for the spikes to
pull out or the tie either to rot or
burn. A plate of soft iron is laid
under the rail aud on top of the tie
SO that the pounding OF the trains
running over il will have no ten,
dency to break the surface of the
tie, There is a web of No. s wire
throughout the tie making it prac-
tically impossible to break it.
Ii Uncle Jimmie Hill knew what
a bonanza was lying right here in
ST. Johns for that fine new road of
his he would build a big factory
here for Mr.. Foss and set him to
work turning the ties out by the
thousand.
