From the Galveston News. At
0:FWe copy the following article from se
the Railroad Record published in Cincinnati; 67
and we invite 'our readers throughout the
State, to give it.their careful consideration, wc
for we doubt whether we have ever publish. est
ed an article that naturally suggests more pri
important reflections to the people of the
Soutl We have often thought that, by the eil
proper application of science and chemical is
skill, with the aid of all the latest improve- ste
ments in the manufacture of cotton seed oil,
millions of dollars might be saved to the is
South annually. In regard to the value of oil
the cotton fibre, which adheres to the seed sh
and is now thrown away with it, we cannot Its
speak with equal confidence. But we trust.
this article will elicit some discussion among
our planters, who are so deeply interested .
in the subject, -and that some valuable inTor.
mation to the public, may. be the result. th
COTTON SEED AND ITS USES. an
In looking over the annual reports of the fer
products of this great staple, one cannot fail re,
to observe that the only product of the cot. of
ton crop, extensive as it now is, is the fibrous thi
covering of the seed, the cotton of commerce. pri
The seed itself, the real fruit of the plant, is wi
now of no absolute value except to manure fac
the fields. And when it is considered that co
nature in most other agricultural products, fac
has made the fruit itself of more value than ch
its covering, it will be readily conceded that oil
the-present cultivation of cotton presents an. an
- anomaly in agriculture, and one which an. th,
alogy would lead us to suppose coul:1 hardly
exist. What if the producer of flax should co
throw away for one year only, the ripe seed an
of his plant, would it not be a commercial bli
calamity to be regretted by every citizen of '-I
the world? If the grower of wheat, or corn, ps
or oats, should content himself with the pro. oi
duct of his farm in chaff, would not civilized oi
lations at once condemn his folly and comb
pel a change of policy I It is true that the
value of chaff in the one case, and flax in
the other would illy repay the labors of the
cultivator, but if they paid him a th'sand th
fold, would he not be equally unwise to *C
waste a large portion of the product with
which the b~unty of nature has repaid his *
toil? He -has sown his seed, nature has
given the harvest, and the wise man will in
make as much'of it as he can. And so we c
conceive it must he with the cotton crop. .
The cotton fibre is not the only, nor the- lar- si
gest portion of the return of the soil, yet it T]
is at present the only porth~n that has value, rei
be'cause the only portion applied to the arts,
or :made to minister to the wvants of man-.i
-But is the refuse of the cotton crop of no thi
value?- Is there no purpose in the wide range thi
of art or manufactzre to which it can be ap- th
plied, and be a source ofg.rofit to the plan- of
tern1 In seeking the solution of this ques- or
tia-n we shall consider first, the amount of ml
this refuse at the present moment, and after. ht
wards jhe uses to which it may be applied.
F[Rst. The amount of the refuse of the fo
Cotton crop. As near as can be ascertained to
about 5,000,004) acres of land are planted th
with cotton; the average product of this
land is a- little over 300 lbs. to the acre, y
baled cotton, making according to the an-.
thor of " Cotton is King." In 1853, a total ,
production of 1,600,000,000 lbs. of baled dr
cotton. Now, one pound only of baled, is B
obtained from three and one-third pounds of ai
the rough product. We have, then the fol
4owing statement of the cotton product ofa
the country in 1853. p

This, then, develops the remarkable fact, pi1
that the refuse of the cotton crop is, in the
weight, twoo and one.third times as great as til
the present available product of the cotton tig
cudture. If Cotton is King now, when only us,
thirty per cent. of the fruit of cotton plant lo,

THE'sED. The seed of the cotton plant
in itself by no means a worthless material. ter
ie flax and other seeds it contains a large of
e centage of oily matter, which can be ex. ses
oted, and applied to useful purposes. Re. vei
at experiments have shown that Cotton sol
,d oil, is one of the most valuable for both O
iminated and lubricating purposes. In yet
ise respects it ranks equal to the best Sperm the
but in calculations of its value, we shall a N
t it as equal to the cheapest grease in the In
)w York market. col
Cotton seed when compressed, yields 30 oa
r cent of oil and 70 per cent of old cake ses
isuming the same data as before, the yield mt
oil would then be as followva: ed
>tal refuse of crop........3,733,000,000 lbs. gr
aan seed, 60 per cent.....2,229,800,000 pr
, 30 per eent of last amount 671,940,000 tlhi
I cake 70 per cent......1,567,860,000 c0
IALVEs. in
The cheapest grease offered in the New be
)rk market now sells at ten cents per pound. na
suming this to be the value of Cotton te(
.d oil and we have the following result, an
I,940,000 lbs. of oil at 10 c. .$67,194,000 ab
wt
The value of this oil reduced to gallons ,ie
muld be 75 cents per gallon. The cheap- er
; lard oil in the Cincinnatti market, at the ar
asent time, is 90 cents. er
Cotton seed oil contains the Stearic prin- lai
>les of other vegetable and animal oils, and C2
therefore suitable for the manufacture of
r candles.
The residue after the extraction of the oil, ar
oil cake, and is valuable for feed. Other qu
cake sells at one cent. per pound. We thi
all estimate this at one half cent. per pound ing
value then is, an
67,860,000 lbs'at Je. per lb..$7,839,300. rei
But there is another method by which the P9
y matter or cotton seed may be extracted
ich is more applicable to the purposes of te
manufacturer, as requiring less labor 31
d less mechanical outlay and skill; we re. ag
to the method of chemical saponification mi
ently invented by Edgar Conkling, Esq., Ou
this city. The advantages possessed by of
s method are its simplicity and greater' PE
Aduction of oily matter. If this method hi,
ro universally adopted by Southern manu- p
turers of soap, no portion of the world pa
uld compete with the South in the mann- cc
:ure of that article. It yet remains for qe
emists to show whether the refuse of the "l
maker may not yield starch in abundance, tri
d a valuable dye. We already knoy that Y
) present residun is an excellent manure. l
CoNCLusIoN. It would seem then from the
nsiderations already mentioned, that we
nually waste 3,733,000,000 lbs. of valua
a vegetable products, the value of which
ty be briefly summed up as follows: as

To MAKE PURE WnE OF APPLEs.-Be- be
Saware that much wine sold for genuine a!
ampaigne *as manufactured from cider, cil
informed a correspondent a short time mra
ice of this fact in answer to his inquiry. Al
rae following letter was elicited by 4he
iding of the answver referred to:
MnIssas EDIToRs-I am well aware that ge
itation wines are now extensively made in a
a State of new Jersey from the juice of ei
a apple, and more from H arrison apples A
an from any other variety, anid the most W
it is dmade at Newark. 'Those knowing *~
es are correct with regard to its being a ai
xture of poisonous drugs not fit for the a
man stomach. - 'tr
Having been in the hoanicultural business
r over forty years I have had in eye single
those spurious wines from the juice of
e apple.
It is gratifying to me to think that when
a come to taste and test my wine-which
end you accompanying this letter-you
il find a wine, a pure artiele, free from all
gs, and not an imitation. The sample [
nd you is eighteen months old, and made
ter the following process:
Take pure cider made from sound ripe
pes as it runs from the press. Put 60
unds of common brown sugar into 15
lona of the cider and let it dissolve, then
t the mixture into a clean barrel, and fill r,
a barrel up to waithin two gallons of being J
1 with clean cider; put the cask in a cool th
ice, leaving the bung out for 48 hours; kr
m put in the hung, with a small vent, un.*
fermentation wholly ceases, and bung up P1
;ht, and in one year the wine will be fit for ap
a. This wine requires no racking, the an
iger it stands upon the less the better. Ju

raad any fault, it consisted in being a very

Dr. Thayer of West Newton, Mass., up.

tion of gas in the stomach from eating
>many rotten apples. He says: Dr
"Finding all my efforts to remove the
liculty, unavailing, and she growving worse W
idly, I called in the doctor above men- Rc

but tapping would save her, and with my :

a Rumen, or first stomach, just in front of
a hip upon the left side ; and introduceing ]

Dua Sta:-I send you Ibis to certify to you that your
Extract of Yellow Dock and Sarsaparitla has performed
one oi the most wonderful cures on me that has erer been
effected on man. I bare been afficted for fom ty years with
eruptions on my legs and feet; in 18418 they got so bad
that I had to go on crutches, and in 1849 1 had one leg
amputated above the knee. In about alne month~safler my
oater leg broke out in large eating and running sores from
my knee to my foot, and discharged a great deal of offe
sive matter. .\y groin also broke Out in large biles, witch
discharged much offenstvo tinatler, and at the sante time
my ieft Iland broke out itt large runniinsres nearly to my
elbow. Theo mIsery that 1 have suffered for the last two
rears I cannot (Iescribe to you. I was in such agony that It
i never rested day or night. hi
In October last my sonm brotight me one of your bottle

cures performed by your ". Extract of Yellow Dock and 'S
Sarsaparilia." I sent and got two bottles of it, and com- (
menced taking It. In two weeks, to my great astonishment, g
my sores sll became easy, and I could steep all night, a
tiing I had not done for two years. When I had taken o
six bottles, my sores got wvell as If by exchantmnent. I have e
now used in all eight bottles of your " Extract of Yellow a
Dock and Sarsaparilla." and I considler nmyself welt.

lIcve it will cure any known disease In time world. Lay t
aside all prjudice anm'l jest try it. andl proclaim its great b
worth to sumflerinmg mnkmnml andl etntreat thenh to lake it, for
