Essay by a Bright Lancas ter Girl that Received Fa vorable Mention in Priz Contest Conducted by Stat Cotton Seed Crushers' As sociation. For many years cotton seed wn considered only useful to plain Thousands of t"iis ot tins see were annually burned or dum{ ed into the rivers. But at Iast was shown that cotton seed ws not only valuable as a fertilize . and feeding stuff in its crud state, but capable of iurnishiu products that are among tli most important elements in oi national industries. The oil the main product, and is use lor a great variety of purpose which are explained later. The residue ufter the remov of the oil is a valuable fertilizand feeding stuil, the hulls e: cellent fuel, the ashes of the hul a fertilizer rich in potash an phosphoric acid, and the -efu< from the oil refining valuab stock for the manufacture 1 soaps. The seeds also contain coloring matter which has bee used to some extent as a dye st> Thus a vast mass of materia which was once looked upon i necessarily a waste product In become of very great commerci value. As yef, only about ono-thii of the annual cropot cot'on set is takeu to the mills. This largely due to the lack of tran porta' ion facilities. No pit has been devised 'o preserve co ton seed from heating wheu ^to eu in lurjo' quantities. Who cot'015 seed has been u ed in ti past to t me exten' its a feodii stufT, but it- f r tliis purpo has now be<-n practically . bai doned in tlievicini? of oil mill Formerly whole cou >n seeii w> extensively used as a fertilize in the south, care being taken i kill tit# seeds by c:.using t! < to ferment either in compo or simply in largo pik kt ; wet, but this pr?ctice hps bee largely uoanaoned, the needs hi nig disposed )i a the oil inilii either for cash, or in exchan* for meal. In the United Stafe* the <i corticated and crushed uplai cotton M'oil yields hy ex pre eion >* 1 odorless, darl brownisn-green oil, haying specific gravity. After heir treated with alkaline solutions clear oil which is odorless an of pleasant taste, is racked ol The residue is called eoap stoc] American seed yields a cleare oii than the Egyptian or India 3ced, and the uplands seed pre duces a clearer oil than thi Iroiri our seacoast. 1 he cliinai has a lot to <lo with the color ( the oil. [t is safe to say nim tenths of the oil annually pn duced in the U. JS. enters inl the composition of food pn duct principalh 1 ?rd substitutes,sala< and cooking oils. In pharmi ceutical preparations it takes tl place of olive oil. It is also use in the packing of sardines an * -v I HE LAN 4. i. jL>cpcii unci it. _ lor many other purposes ?s a sub stitutes for oil. The residue ob tained from retiring oil is dispose;! of as soap s'ock, in tha manufacture of stearine. The yellow oil resulting from this L" process is tut her purified by heate in?j, and is called summer yellow e oil. Winter vel'ow is made - from the above rnateri >1 bv chilling it,until partially crystaliz >d and separating the stearin tound. ^ The latter constitutes the true ! cotton seed stearine of coramonce (l and is largely used in the preparations of butter and lard surrogates and candles.

Later on the fluidity ol 'he oil itself was corrected bv le Jr mixing it with beef tat. Thin mixture was put on tho market j under the name of compound or ^ refined lard. It was so kindly ' received by the public that bej tore long all disguise was drop ^ ped and it was sold on its merits in competition with lard. I The soap made from cottonI seed oil is claimed to bo especially adapted to wool washing. The oil lias also been found to be f , excellent for laundry and fancy soaps. n Another by-product in the ^'manufacture ot cotton seed oil ij a wash powder, made from tin* snap stock. Cotton seed meal is the ground lb j residue or cai->e left after the extraction of the oil by pressure.

Timely Farm Notes. Do not be afraid to buy commercial fertilizer judiciously, but try to have no much homemade manure that very little commercial fertilizer is needed. Do not be deluded into thinking that good seed alone will make a good crop, Good plow- ., ing is required and enough fertility in the soil to nourish the crop. Heading agricultural papora I not suited to your section may do you ten times as much harm as good, and ultimately disgust you with all agricultural papers. hither get manure scattered on tlio land where it is to used within a week atter it. is dropped, or compost it and protect it well till the compost is applied to the soil. Are you a slave? Do you raise li'tlo ehe than cotton? Are you always in debt to somebody else who advances money for you to make a crop on? Nine chances in ten, it is raising nothing but <otton that has brought you into such a tight pinch.?Progressive Farmer. At times when you dont feel just ri^ht.
