COTTON SEED OIL.

The Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers
Association have gone about their busi-
ness with a light and understanding
that should be copied by other pro-
ducers and manufacturers in the United
States. They are making vigorous
campaign foc cotton seed oil on its
merits and achieving a fine success,
hut no more than they deserve. The
Pure Food Law has been great help
to them and it is arousing the people
Of the South to the many merits OF
cotton seed oil, which has hitherto come
back to them only in adulterated prod
ucts They understand that 1t is
and incomparably cheaper. 1t has
every desirable quality of the best olive
oil with none of the defects of the in
ferior grades, and it is absolutely clean.
1t is not touched by the human hands
from the time the cotton goes into the
gin until the oil is bottled and sealed
for market.
This in itself is an element of su-
periority over olive oil. In Europe,
where oil is much more largely used
for food than we have any conception
of in this country, cotton oil is making
a greater progress than it is in this
1t is pointed out that Italy took from
us last year 1,7s6 tons of cotton oil
valued at S20S,247 and shipped back
to us 4,162 tons of "olive OIL" valued
at $797,669. That is, they made out

COTTON OIL SOAP.

A formula has been published for

scale 40 parts of caustic soda, 40 of
caustic potash, 500 of cotton oil and
250 of alcohol are mixed with suffi-
cient distilled water to make $500
parts. In a glass-stoppered bottle the
potash and soda are mixed in distilled
water, the alcohol added and then the
shaking vigorously after each addi-
tfon. By little shaking the saponifi-
cation is completed. When delicately
scented it makes a fine soap for the
ladies' toilet table.
