MoGKEE ft DILLINGHAM, ? . i COTTON Ftf RUSSIA. Aula WUl Kever ?qu:il Ulxle nn a C'ot?on Producer. Charleston World. Florence, S. 0., February 1.?About two years ago Mr. John S. Scott, who farmed near Mars Bluff, was employed by the Russian Foreign Trade Company, a great business corporation of Russia, to teach two Russian young men the whole art of raising cotton and preparing it for the market. This position he ob? tained through the influence of A. Nor? den & Co., of Charleston, which Grms had been commissioned to secure a man for that purpose. Mr. Scott's success as a farmer in his own State recommended him for the position. Mr. Scot weut to St. Petersburg on obtaining the position, and from there to Central Asia, where the experimental farm is located. Two weeks ago he returned to this country and is again residing near Mars Bluff. A special correspondent of the World rode over to Mr. Scotfe plantation yes? terday and had a lengthy talk with him as to his experiences while in the service of the Russians. Mr. Scott tolls a story substantially as follows: Twenty-five years ago the Russians occupied Central Asia, and annexed it to their government. They still hold this vast, rich and populous territory that they acquired by a mingled, but masterly policy of strategy "and military force. When the Russians invaded this territo? ry, they found the various iribes of natives growing cotton there. Their method of raising the fleecy staple could hardly be called cultivation, except by a wide stretch of the meaning of that term. Only the very crudest methods were in vogue there, and the^very rudest and most primitive implements were used; implements in no way suited to the nature of the work. The cotton seed, was sowed broadcast, and not planted in rows as is the casein the Southern States of America. ' The results were very poor and unsatisfactory, both as to the quality and quantity of the yield. In a desultory manner, that has not resulted in much good, the Russians have encouraged the planting of cotton, and have employed the natives for that pur? pose. They introduced no new machin? ery and no new methods of cultivation, and consequently there was no improve? ment under their control. About two years ago the Russian Foreign Trade' Company conceived the idea of introducing the American methods of cultivating the fleecy staple and pre? paring it for the market. In order to accomplish this desirable end I was em? ployed to visit Central Asia and teach two young Russians the whole art of cotton culture. I went to St. Petersburg, thence to Moscow, through the QLucaaus mountains and across the Caspian sea into As i a. Near Samarcand tEo company had a farm of 700 acres, and here I remained for two years, with the sky kissing Himalayas ever in my sight, their towering tops covered with snow even in the hottest months of the year. The two Russians spent the two years with me, and thoroughly learned. every detail of the work of raising cotton. About 300 natives were employed on the farm, and they of course learned something about the work. Samarcand is located near the centre of the cotton growing section of Central Asia. The cotton belt includes Turkmenia, Turkestan, Furgana and a belt of country extending to the east and west of these provinces aad lying between the thirty-eighth and fortieth parallels of latitude. This is the only section of Asia where cotton can be profitably grown, and this section is entirely owned by Ruiaia. The soil of this section is a rich alluvial loam, mingled with decom? posed lava rock. It grows cotton very readily and gives a large yield to the acre. Cotton has to be grown entirely by irrigation, and this is a science that is little understood in that section of Asia. The belt I mentioned is a large prairie, a beautiful stretch of country and won? derfully fertile, yielding magnificent crops with but little attention. The cotton crop, however, must be irrigated or it doesn't amount to much. When the natives thoroughly learn this science they will have much greater success in raising cotton. The ponulation of the cotton belt, as in all other parts of Asia, is exceedingly dense. Here, where man's primeval abode was, the number of inhabitants to the square mile is much greater than in the more recently populated sections of the globe, and this fact kills all possibili? ty of there ever being any competition between Central Asia and the Sunny South iu raising the cotton supply of the world. The population is so thick that nearly all the land must be used to raise a sufficient food crop to feed the inhabi? tants, and consequently very little acre? age can be spared for cotton growing. ThiB is why I left Central Asia. The company could in no way secure another large farm, and my mission on the farm near Samarcand was completed. The correspondent suggested that the Russian government might force the natives to give up enough land for further experimental stations. Mr. Scott said that was not in the line of the policy they had marked out for the treatment of the natives, and would not happen. Continuing iu his original vein, he said: Central Asia will never raise suffi? cient cotton for the Russia spinners, and will certainly never compete with the Southern States in furnishing cotton for the other countries of the world; and even in Russia, Southern cotton will ever be in demand. There has been Borne anxiety among the farmers of the South? em States on this subject, but there need be none. The cotton nativo to Central Asia is of a very inferior grade, but cotton grown from American seed compares very fav? orably with cotton grown in America. When I went to Asia I carried a lot of seed with me, and introduced it in that country. I found the upland Bhort staple cotton best adapted (o tho soil and cli? mate of the country. Very good crops of this were raided on the farm, and iLe seed will be upread among the neighbor? ing farms. The climate of th6 Asiatic cotton belt ie very similar to the climate of our State. The seasons are about the same, I ezoopt that their summers are somewhat shorter and their winters slightly colder than ours. The country is not very healthy iu sumraor, malarial fever being very common and at times very viru? lent. American gins and presses are doing I the work of cleaning and baling the ! Asiatic cotton, the Russians having iu ! vented no machines m the v/ork nor do they manufacture any after the American raf.rcrns. Their bales only w^igh about 250 pounds snd are more easily haudled ] in consequence than the more bulky packages in which cotton is shipped in j America. Their cotton is covered with burlaps and the bales are made up very neatly. The entire bale is covered and the edges of the burlap are Bowed togeth? er, making it not easy for the vegetable fleece to get soiled. This cotton arrives at market much cleaner than American cotton, owing to the care with which it is baled and handled. I imported a large lot of American tools, but the natives do not take kindly to those implements. A native uses only the most primitive agricultural tools, and these, I suppose, they will use until the end of the chapter. They use wooden plows, and work them with oxen. Mules are unknown in that country, and all the heavy work is done by oxen. I had very hard work trying to make the uatives use the tools I imported, and almost gave it up as a hopeless task. The natives of the cotton belt belong to the Mongolian branch of the human family, and are an ignorant, indolent set. They don't fancy work and hate innova? tions. They are content to continue, generation after generation, in the same I old rut, without change and without im? provement. ***** I was very kindly treated both by Russians and natives. I made some pro? gress toward learning the Russian lan? guage but did not attempt to master the Mongolian tongue. The results of my stay there were very satisfactory. The two Russians learned the business and they iu turn will teach others, so that in due course of time the American method of raising cotton and preparing it for the market will prevail throughout the cotton belt of Central Asia, but it will be many years before the natives will be induced to abandon their rude and unsatisfactory implements and use the improved modern tools with which the Southerners make their crops. There is one thing peculiar about cotton in Central Asia, and that is there are no cotton worms there. . This pest has never made an appearance in that section, but I think that when the American methods of raising large crops and forcing them are thorosghly introduced, this destruc? tive parasite will put in an appearance. The nativOB use no fertilisers in making their crops. It is probable that Mr. Scott will write a book giving the results of his investi? gations and experiences at Samarcand. locks Used on United States Mail Pouches. "It is a very risky thing nowadays for a mail agent to interfere with the lock on the mail pouches in his care," said Assist? ant Postmaster Gaylor to a World report? er, as he handled a burnished copper lock which lay upon hia desk. "This lock makes it -practically impossible for any interference to go undiscovered.. Examine this lock, and you will see that each time you turn the key, the register moves up one number. I lock it .on the number 1,234. Now you unlock it. See,, the number is now 1,235. And you can? not got it back to the first number, do what you may. All our locks begin at 1 and stop at 9,999, giving them a life of service of. thirty-three years. When the last number is reached the lotk will not work any more unless it is sent back to the factory and 'upset' This fact was unknown to the route agent who ran between Altoona and Harrisburg in 1881, when the lock was first adopted by the government. He had no difficulty in procuring a key to open the lock, and figured that he could manage to go through the contents of his pouch, and' by the use of a turning lathe, which he took in the car with him, he could soon send the numbers flying till he would get back to the number charged against him on leaving the post office at Harris? burg. It was mail lock No. 102, regis? tered out on No. 23. After going through the contents of the pouch and getting a good swag he placed his lock in the lathe and commenced to turn. It didn't take very long to make 9,000 revolutions on the lathe, but when the lock refused to go past 9,999 the fellow got frightened and throwing his booty down on the floor of the car, he jumped off and took to the woods. This was a warning to others, and we scarcely ever hear of any attempts to tackle this lock. It is the best kind of a protection against so-called honest fellows who don't mind stealing a few hundred if they risk nothing?fellows who are in positions of trust. It simply keeps watch, and if one of the men acts dishonestly, it just tells on him. That's all. But it tells every time and can't be bribed." Horse Talk, Don't hitch me to iron post or railing when the mercury is below the freezing point. I need skin on my tongue. Don't leave me hitched in my stall at night with a big cob right where I must lie down. I am tied and can't select a smooth place. Don't compel me to eat more salt than I want by mixing it with my oats, Don't think because I go free under the whip I don't get tired. You would move up too if under the whip. Don't think because I am a horse that iron, weeds and briars won't hurt my hay. Don't whip me when I get frightened along the road, or I will expect it next time and maybe make trouble. Don't trot me up hill, for I have to carry you and the buggy and myself too. Don't keep my stable very dark, for when I go out into the light my eyes are injured, especially if snow be on the ground. Don't say "whoa" unless you mean it. Teach me to stop at that word. It may check me if the lines break and save u runaway and consequent smash up. Don't make me drink ice cold water nor put a frosty bit in my mouth; warm the bit by holding it half a minute against my body. Don't forget to file my teeth when they get jagged and I cannot chew my food. When I get leaner it is a sign that my teeth need filing. Don't ?ak me to back with blinds on. I am afraid to. Don't run me down a steep hill, for if anything should givo way I might break your nock. Don't put ou my blind bridle so that it irritates my eye or so loaves my forelock that it will be in my oyeB. Don't bo so careless of my harness as x find a great sore ou mo before you At te^d to it. Don't leud mo to some blockhead tha,j has less sense than I have.

They claim extraordinary long lives for natives of Monterey Oounty, Califor? nia. Recently the Salinas Index gave an aocount of the life of Old Gabriel, who was reputed to be one hundred and fifty one years old when he died on the 16th of March last. "Old Gabriel's son, Zacha riah, by his third wife, lived one hundred and fourteen years. Then there wsb Casiano, who died a few years ago, aged one hundred and thirty-six. Another In? dian named Lauriana died at the County hospital some four years ago at the age of one hundred and ten. These are all well authenticated cases. Now comes an old-native, known as Mrs. 01 aria, who claims that she was twelve years of ago at the time of the building of the Carmel Mission in 1772, which would make her one hundred and thirty years old at the present time." We Dio Because or too Much Lime, The most common cause of death is fat and lime. Microbes are mere acces? sories in causing death. Take myself as a case in point. Once, when younger, I could lift my leg on a level with my head. It is an effort for me now to get it half that distance. Lime deposits are the cause of it. It is only a few days since that I performed a post-mortem on the remains of a distinguished journalist who died in this city at an advanced age. When I reached his heart I took my knife and on rubbing it over that organ it Bounded^as if it were being rubbed over a rough Btone. The heart was fairly encased in lime. I have now under my care a distin? guished literary man?a nonogenarian. He is going to die. (The patient has since died.) His death will be caused by-abnormal deposits of lime. There is no mystery in death. It is as natural for man to die as to be born. We are born, we develop, we grow ("grow" i? right), and we die. Is there anything strange about that ? Man is like a tree, He lives his time, then withers, decays, dies. When we Bhall ha7e learned every? thing, we shall be wise enough to pro? long the life of man, but by reason of the materials of which the body is composed he must die.?Dr. Philip Walea in St. Louis Globe. Alcohol as a Beverage. It will be a shivering surprise to the average reader to know that of late alco? hol, pure and simple, has become a bever? age in America, especially in the West, Northwest and in the coal regions of Pennsylvania. Even In New York city the census returns estimate fifteen barrels a day as the allowance for drinking pur? poses. It is an innovation as startling as that of the opium habit when it came in. As the opium habit came through the Chi? nese, so the alcohol habit has come through the PoleB, Norwegians, Swedes, Finns, Hungarians and Russians. The eagerness with which any such evil practice becomes "all the rage" among drinking people may be seen from the fact that, although recently in? troduced and at first indulged in quietly, alcohol is now sold over the bar in the lower grade barrooms. One-half of all the liquor sold for drinking purposes in the Northwest if alcohol. This ib a phase of the liquor problem that may well cause alarm, even among those who are naturally indifferent to the ordinary evils of the social drinking of light bev? erages.? Boston Traveller.
