Good Coal From Refuse.

Various devices for economlzing
fuel have been brought to notice in
Holland since the war caused a diff
ficulty in procuring coal. 1t has
been found that 20 to IS per cent of
combustible material remains In fur
mace refuse, and a device has been
constructed which preserves large
part of it. The refuse is finely ground
and placed in a liquid with specific
gravity a little greater than that of
water. This is said to be very cheap,
generally a refuse from factories. The
mass is agitated, the heavier particles
sink to the bottom, while the combus-
tible material floats and can be scooped
off to be used in the furnace. 1t is
stated that 200 tons Of refuse will yield
80 tons Of good fuel.

cotton are not widely published, so

a large extent, entirely dependent upon
purely local price quotations.
Extent Of Sales.
The sale of cotton in the seed in
the communities where the practice
is prevalent has usually originated
when the cotton-grOwing industry was
new and gins were not accessible. The
practice has been permitted to con-
tinue In many cases, however, even
after custom gins have been built in
accessible localities, on the theory
largely that the saving In time devoted
to ginning, ginning costs, ETC., compen-
stated for differences in prices. This
theory the market specialists Of the
department believe, should be dis
proved by the results of the recent
study.
Missouri, with 80 per cent, leads the
states in the proportion Of the local
cotton crop sold in the seed, and is fol-
lowed by Virginia, with, 60 per cent,
Florida with 40 per cent, Tennessee
with 40 per cent, and Oklahoma with
81 per cent. The greatest number of
bales sold in the seed in any one
state in 1915 was in Oklahoma.

Pride In Colts.
Every farmer should have a pride
in the colts and horses he raises. II
the packer and brewer can afford to
pay fancy prices for fash geldings
largely for advertising purposes, the
farmer can well afford to feed and
care for his young colts in such way
that they will be attractive to these
buyers. In fact, every farmer should
be ambitious, not only to raise the best
crops, but also to produce the best
stock of all kinds. If he has the best
teams in the neighborhood, they will
attract a great deal Of attention. The
farmers son would certainly become
deeply interested in a fine team Of
purebred mares and the colts they
raise. 1t would stimulate him and en-
courage him to put forth his best eff
forts for their care and management
The boy who is proud of the stock on
the farm and who may raise and de-
velop colt good enough to win at one

to leave the farm.

ARE LOSERS
Specialists Recommend EnCour-
agement Of Custom Ginning.
Study in Oklahoma by Representa-
tlVes Of Department Of Agriculture
Shows Disadvantage of Sell
ing Unglnned Article.

(From the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
Because of the great losses that are
being sustained in the sale of cotton
In the seed in some parts of the coun-
try. market specialists of the United
States department Of agriculture rec
0mmend that farmers discontinue
sales of seed cotton and encourage
custom ginning in their nelghborhoods.
The many factors entering into the
value of cotton cannot be estimated
accurately before ginning, 1t Is point
ed out, while by marketing the lint and
seed separately, the grower may have
knowledge of the value of his prod
uct and may sell it on its merits. The
recommendations are based on a study
made In Oklahoma In 1915 and report
ed in Farmers Bulletin No. IT'S, re-
Gently published.
In the transactions observed In Okla
homa an average Of $4.63 per bale was
lost by selling cotton in the seed, while
in one case the loss was as high as
$21.30 a bale. These computations
took full account of ginning costs and
similar charges. 1t is estimated that
100000 bales of cotton were sold in
the seed in Oklahoma during the sea-
son In which the study was made. If
the average losses observed were made
on each of these bales, the aggregate
loss to the state was in excess of
$1,000,000. For the United States as
a whole, the sales Of cotton in the seed
in 1915 are estimated to have been
$4,000 bales, or 8 per cent Of the
total crop. If the average losses per
bale held good for these sales, the to-
tai loss in the country, due to the sale
of cotton in the seed in 1915, was
more than $4,000,000.
Reasons for Losses.
Profitable prices are not offered for
seed cotton, market specialists say,
largely because it is impossible for
the purchaser to determine the grade
of the lint before it is separated from
the seed, and he therefore protects
himself against possible overgrading
by the quotation of low price. If
prices for seed cotton were made to
accord with the prices Of lint and seed
separately, they would have to be
based on percentages of fiber and seed,
grade of fiber, and cleanness. Since
these variable factors cannot be de-
termined accurately for each load,
dealing in seed cotton has come to be
placed on a basis of averages which
penalties particularly the grower of
high-grade cotton.
In addition to cash losses from re-
ceiving lower prices than would have
been received from the sale of ginned
cotton and seed, farmers selling cot
ton in the seed and their communities
lose from the mixture of seed in the
gins, many of the farmers having to
depend on this seed for planting. The
mixture Of varieties and different
lengths of staple results in less valu-
able crop of cotton the next season,
and, if continued, win bring about pro-
gresslve deterioration.
Seed cotton does not lend itself to
Standardization and. therefore. the
