OUR GREA "Valuable By-Pr< Scientific . The question of opening up the markets of Japan and the far East for our cotton has given the Southern growers a slight hope for better times; . but, while the prospects of another large crop keep prices down, ard affect the planters disastrously, science is ! steadily laboring to widen the field of ? consumption and to create new indus- j tries that will utilize all of the by-pro ducts of the crop. The achievements in this direction have been so noteworthy in the past that one is led ?io place implicit confidence in the promises for the future. By the single dis- ? covcry of the value of the cottou seed for manufacturing oil and cotton-seed meal, some ten to fifteen million dol lars were added to the receipts of the annual cotton crop. Now that an ; enormous industry has been built up 1 and permanently established for con- i verting the cotton seed into oil, the question of utilizing other parts of the ; cotton plant for commercial purposes has come rapidly to the front. Originally the lint was considered j the only valuable part of the cotton crop, aiid the seeds, the stalks, the : roots and hulls were either burned on ? the land or turned under the soil by j the plow to increase the fertility of . the land. It was supposed that the cotton drew so much fertility from the soil that it would soon rob it of all power for plant production and in time make it worthless. Scientific investigations and analysis of the soil have demonstrated, however, that, of all the staple crops, cotton imposes the slightest drain upon the land. By applying special fertilizers, all of the ci?p can be removed year after year without materially injuring the soil. Thus eotton has been raised on the same plantations for over half a ced- j tury, and the land to-day is almost a3 fertile as when the virgin soil was first broken with the old wooden plow. This demonstration has led to im portant results. After the cotton seed, the cotton-seed hulls were selected for scientific investigation. The hulls of a cotton crop constitute about half the weight of the ginned seed. These hulls are hard, dry, and apparently useless, and they are cov ered with a fuzzy lint that further de tracts from their appearance. In fact, until very recently they had no prac tical value, and they were disposed of in Tarions ways by different planters. The majority returned them to the soil to help fertilize it ; but analysis showed that their constituent ele ments did not enrich the land to any great extent. But as substitutes for hay the cot ton-seed hulls are^of incalculable value. Heretofore the b,ulls have been used by a good many of the cotton-seed ', mills for fuel, and as fuel they are worth about 80 cents to yo cents per | ton; but as anirral food they are worth ! far more. ^Experiments were first ? made a few years ago in the vicinities of the oil manufacturing centers, such as Memphis, New Orleans, Houston, Little Rock, Raleigh, and Atlanta, j It was found that when mixed with condensed foods the hulls were readily eaten by the animals, and that they were of great value in helping to di gest and assimilate bran, cracked corn, j and meal. Moreover, it was proved j by a succession of feeding tests that 10 per cent of the protein of the hull? was digestible. oS per cent ol' the fiber, 40 pi r cent of the nitrogen ex- ; tract, and 77 percent of the fat. The ' hulls are light and bulky, but other wise they make a good substitute for hay in the South, where grass crops ; have always been notoriously small I and iaferior. The hulls are biled or ' pressed into sacks, aud in this con- i ditiou they keep for a long time. When packed away in hulk, like hay, they ferment and heat. Now that the cotton seeds and hulls ; having been profitably disposed of, the stems of the plants have attracted attention, and already they have been successfully utilized. As a by-pro duct of thc cotton crop, the stems promise to prove as important aa the hulls. The plants of the cotton crop have long ranked in the South as a coarse animal food, about equal to the same quantity of rye, wheat, or oat strav*. After the crop was harvested thc animals were generally turned loose on the land, aod they would eat the stubble in places and grind some of it into the soil. These stems would be stripped of their foliage and ten der twigs by the cattle but thc hardy, j dry stalks would be left untouched. '? The ' question of utilizing these stems as fiber for cotton bagging at tracted attention some years ago, but j it was only recently that u process ; was patented for this purpose The j i>t< ios are very rough and coarse, and j scientists found same diffeulty in ? making machinery that would work up the material satisfactorily. The fiber was found to be good when once strip ped and sorted out. Samples of the bagging made from the stems have been tested in the South, and it is T STAPLE. DcLucts of Cotton. American. pronounced by experts to bc first-class in every way. The yield of the fiber is large, and when satisfactory ma chinery is produced a considerable bagging industry will bc built up near the eotton fields. Five tons of good stalk will yield about 1,500 pounds/of first-class fiber. At this rate the annual cotton crop will produce all the bagging needed for cotton baling and leave a good percentage for other purposes. Of course thc industry is largely in the experimental stages yet, but if it works as well as the cotton seed oil industry did, it will not!)' many year.- before it will assume gi gantic proportions. In Egypt, the common eotton of the Nile distriu.s (Gossylii radicis cortex) produces a large root, the bark ol' which has long been used for medici nal purposes. The action of this bark is similar to that of ergot. This fact has led to, invest'gations here, and it is believed ':hat another by-product of the cotton crop will be soon found in the roots of thc plants. The drug would bc useful in many ways and might prove of great value. Chemists have approved of it, and it is now largely a question of extracting it profitably. In connection with employing thc cotton-seed hulls as food for animals, it might be said that any surplus of the crop can be utilized in making artificial fertilizers. Cotton-hull ashes are very valuable for furnishing a cheap potash for the tobacco crop, and there is quite a demand for it in all of the tabacco growing districts of this country. Thc quality of these ashes varies, but as a rule they are of considerable value. This leaves little of the cotton plant either to go to waste or to be returned to the soil. Every part of it is turned to some profitable use, and as the years go by new uses for the products will be discovered. Already the cot ton-seed oil-the most valuable by product of the crop-has found its way into fields never dreamed of when it was first extracted. Improved methods of refining it are gradually forcing the oil into direct competion j with more expensive oils. It has been found that the upland cotton seeds yields a purer and better oil than the cotton raised along the sea coast. The climate also has much to do with the quality of the oil, and un der the same conditions, cotton-seed oil made in this country is superior to that manufactured of the Egyptian or Indian cotton-sced. The oil first ex tracted by expression is odorless, and of a dark, brownish-green color. This is treated with alkaline solutions, and a clear, pleasant, yellow and odorless oil is produced. The residue is called soap stock and enters largely into the manufacture of soaps. Thc refined oil is consumed chiefly as a food pro duct, as it makes a good substitute for salad and cooking oils, and also for packing sardines and other fish. It has its limits, however, and the man ufacturers have not been able to make it take the place of oils for mixing paints or wood-fillers. It dries very slowly and imperfectly, and this seems to debar it forever from entering into competition with linseed and similar oils for the drug and paint trade. As a lubricant, the best relined cotton seed oil is very satisfactory, and it is ia considerable demand inthe machine trade. Refining processes arc constantly developing new uses for the (di. The yellow oil resulting from the first pro cess of refining, through treatment with alkaline solutions, isfurthcr puri fied by healing and filtration. Then the- white oil of commerce is ob tained by shaking the yellow oil with 2 or 3 per cent of fuller's earth. In purifying thc yellow oil about 25 per cent of it is separated in the form of stearin. This eotton seed stearin is employed in making candles and the various preparations of butterand lard surrogates. For some time this cotton-seed oil wa? mixed with lard intended for cold climates, and then its fluidity was cor rected by mixing it with beef fat. Now this is often sold on its own mer its in the market in open competition with lard. Finally, there is a wash powder made from the soap-stock, that owes its origin to cotton-seed oil. This is obtained from the residue left after th? oi! is refined. The soap, itself, made from toe oil. is used extensively by the woolen mills of this and other countries, lt has been I':.und. to be of special value in washing woolen goods, which it dee-? not injure nor cause t o shrink. Thus it is ?hat tiie by-products cf the cotton crop ere multiplying, and in the end they may prove noire valu uable (.lum the lint. Ai- present no! j much mor-.' t!;:?:i one-third of the cot ton seed is used for manufacturing oil i and similar products; hut. as the de j maud increases, and facilities improve i for handling the seed, thc value of the j crop will increase, and in time cotton seed oil will represent an annual value more than equal to thc actual worth of the cotton lint. SHE'S UP IN WEDLOCK. Marriage is Not a Failure, Says Mrs. Smith, of Missouri. Chicago Chronicle. Mrs. B. D. Smith, of Humansville, Mo.,1 assorts that marriage is not a failure. She ought to know, as she I has been married seven times. De spite her 55 years Mrs. Smith is still youthful and haudsome. She has lately married again, and thc newly wedded couple are living iu a little cottage owned by Mrs. Smith's aged mother. "i have often thought," said Mrs. Smith, "that I could forever set at rest that old, ola problem, 'ls marriage a failure?" I would most positively assert that it is not a failure. 1 have had seven husbauds and buried live of them. (Jae ran away with another woman; the other, Brother Smith, will be home in a moment; he is out attend ing to the cow now. "Yes, my life has been a series of strange incidents. I have had much trouble, much of it," folding her hands and gazing reflectively out over the hazy meadows, "but straightening up more determinedly, "I never give up. I look the present squarely in the face and trust to the Lord to make the future brighter. He has always done it. "Tell you something about my life? Weil, there is not much to tell, hut I'll try it. I am a little confused about dates. You see, I had so many husbands and so many things happen ed that I can hardly be very exact. "I have known Brother Smith-you see, I call him brother from force of habit all my life. He was and is my pastor. How long was he engaged to me ? Why, bless your soul, one day. We knew each other all our life-all my life, I mean. He came overto see me Sunday night and talked it up. We were married on Tuesday. "My seven husbands were all en gaged but a short time, and I now have-let mc see, sixteen or eighteen step-children. And they all love me. Whenever they are married I give them a wedding dinner and set them up in housekeeping. There are three sets of them, too. They come to see me and whenever my husbands die they offer me a home. "I knew my first husband, Mr. Vice, a year, Mr. Milligan six months, Mr. De Priest I knew eighteen months, but we were engaged but three weeks. Mr. Crozier I knew four years and was engaged to him but two months. Mr. Dougherty I knew a week. "Neff I knew nine months, but we sparked only three months. We lived together only six months. "I was happy with every one, too," she went on in a low tone, a far-away look stealing over her matronly fea tures. "Even with Neff I never had across work, or the slightest quarrel with any of my husbands; they all loved me. You see, i was hard to please. Some people look nice, but they don't wear well, and I like the wearing kind. "Yes, I've had a good many idlers, but I always know what I'm doing, and when 1 make up my mind I don't believe in delay. I just go ahead and get the thing over with. You see Neil' turned out bad, but it wasn't my fault. [ made him a good wife.'' It has always been said in the com munity that Neil disappeared, and has never been heard ol'. As the story goes, Mrs. Smith preserved thc nuptial garments of her departed spouses, and .-hows them tn their successors. When she entertained Neff in this way .-ix months after she became his wife, she ilusted the garments oil and remarked in a teasing way : "I il he dusting yours,off this way .-onie time." Ti this proposition Neff is reported to have promptly and energetically re plied: "I'll bc-if you do," and forthwith disappeared. '"Do I remember how my husbands looked? Indeed I do. I have their pictures, too. "When I married Mr. Dougherty ho had met my mother but once and I introduced him to her as my husband. She said she supposed it was all right, and that she wasn't at all surprised." According to the stories in town, Mrs. Smith had her fortune told by a wandering gypsy at Brighton, Mo., years ago. Part of the revelation was that she was to have seven husbands, that the seventh would survive her, and that two of the seven would break into the penitentiary. When asked I about this Mrs. S oil li said : ! "lt's ouly partly true. 1 had n:y fortune told,;as they say, hy cards, anil tho gypsy said I'd have seven husbands, and that ?he s s ve ri th would outlive m :. ! ; ry to make t hem for get it, but they won't. I don't want my husbands to d ie. I nursed Crozier s :;t en months and Dougherty fifteen j mouths, ont they flied anyhow-. Jint, herc i.-> my new husband now. I was just telling tho gentleman," she said, turning to a tall, austere looking old man, who entered, "tint I don't like my husbands to die." Tho colonel looked thoughtful a mo ment, and paid: "No, I don't think she does, but they do it, anyhow. She marries real sudden, too." "Yes, Brother Smith," she replied, "you was real nervous for a few days, and I kinder Lhought you was coming around. "Brother Smith," she went on, "would rather bc addressed as a min ister than as colonel. He has an army record, though. He'll tell you about it while I get supper." Mrs. Smith was boru in Caldwell County, Missouri, November 12, 1843, and raised in Harrison County. At thc age of 15 years she married George H. Vice, December 25, 1S5S. They lived together five years, when he was i killed while on picket guard as the ? 5r.it sergeant ol Troop M, 1st. Arkan- [ ?as cavalry. Ti'..y had one child, now j Mrs. Sam White, also living with her [ second husband, and who bas several ' ?hildren-two of them married. In less than a year, on October 10, I LS64, she married William (ic Priest. : They had two children, both boys, ' Allen and Albert, and after six years )f married life Dc Priest died of >pinal trouble. Her uexc husband was Francis Mil ligan, and she married him January 13, 1S70. They had two children, a joy and a girl, both living. 3Iilligan lied of typhoid fever October 27, [883. She became Mrs. James Nett April J, 18S6, and, as told, he disappeared lix months later. She secured a di vorce in 1887 at Bolivar, Mo., and the ?ame day married Jacob Crozier. A peculiar fact about her marriage ?o Neff was that she was at the same ?ime engaged to marry a man named Doyle, who lives near Humansville. 5he set the day, April 3, and made up 1er mind to marry whoever came first. STeff was the lucky man, and just as ?he minister, her present husband, ?ronounced them man and wife, Doyle .ushed up, breathless, with thc license n his hand. Neff laughed aloud and ,he new Mrs. Neil smiled as she said : "You're just five minutes too late." She has been sorry ever since she lidn't take Doyle. He is living iu St. Jlair County, Missouri, now, is wcal ,hy, and has got over his disappoint ncnt. One child, a girl, was the result of ier union with Crozier, but she died n infancy. Crozier died October 14, .892, of consumption. Mrs. Crozier took her sixth matri nonial step October 5, 1S94, when ihe married G. W. Dougherty. He lied January 13, 1897. All her husbands were farmers and airly wealthy. Besides marrying her to Neff, Col. smith,'(her present husband, officiated it the funerals of Crozier and Dough rty, and baptized several of her ihildren. Cured Him.

After a long and varied experience in the use of mineral waters from many sources, both foreign and domestic, I am fully persuaded that the Harris Lithia Wa ter possesses efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the Kidney and Bladder une qualled by any other "Water of which I have made trial. This opinion is based upon observation of its effects upon my patients for the past three years, during which time I have prescribed it freely and almost uniformly with benefit in the medical maladies above mentioned. A. N. TALLEY, M. D. Columbia, S. C., Oct. S, 1S92. - Mr. J. T. Harris-Dear Sir: I have found the use of tho water from your Lithia Spring in South Carolina so efficacious i:i thc ca.se of a young lady patient of mine, who has suffered tor years with Diabetes, with all its different attendant?, that I waitt toarki my testimonial to the many you already have. The patient I refer to has used the wa.ef freely at homo for scarcely a month now, with more beneficial rssuHsthaia from months spent at the different noted lithia springs in different parts of the Unt ied States, besides long continued uso of tho same waters at. home. Other of my pa tients ?ind Irieuds are now using the same with b?<*t results. I cordially recommend it to all suffering from similar diseases. Very respectfully yours, THOMAS S. POWELL, M. D., Pres. Southern Medical College, Atlanta, Qa. In my experience as a physician nothing bas given me greater satisfaction ?r yielded more certain results than your Lithia Water. I am uBing it myself and pre scribing it in my practice, and do unqualifiedly recommend it for dyspepsia and ali kidney troubles whose Lithia is indicated.
