Scientific Inveitigaitons and analysis of the soil j jve demonstrated, however, that, of j ll th?.' staple crops, cotton imposes bf slightest drain upon the land. By I ppljing special fertilizers, all of the ! T0|. can be removed year after year ! filhout materially injuring the soil, [bos fulton has been raised on the ?ne plantations for over half a ceri arv, and the land to day ia almost aa ! ?tile as when the virgin soil waa ?r?t broken with the edd wooden plow. This demonstration has lcd to im lortant results. After the cotton w\. tin- eutton-seed hulls were elected fer scientific investigation, die hulls of a cotton crop constitute [bout half tho weight of the ginned ,eed. These hulls are hard, dry, and jpparently useless, and they are cov l*ed with a fuzzy lint that further de Iwts from their appearance. In fact, Dtilvery recently they had no prao tal value, and they were disposed of i.arious ways by different planters, be majority returned them to the ;il to help fertilize it ; but analysis howed that their constituent de tents djd not enrich the land to any teat extent. But as substitutes for hay the cot iB-seed halls are of incalculable value, leretoforc the hulls have been used j :i good, many of the cotton-seed j Ii?- for f neb and as fuel they are* ort h al..?ut Hit cents to WO cents per j |ti;b'it as animal food they aro worth J r wore. _ Ksperiinents were first ade a few years ago in the vicinities the oil manufacturing centers, such Memphis, New Orleans, Houston, ittle Ruck, Raleigh, and Atlanta, was found that wheu mixed with tndonscd foods the hulls were readily itcu by ttic animals, aud that they ere of ?teat value in helping te di Bstand assimilate bran, cracked corn, Bid meal. Moreover, it was proved Ba succession of feeding tests that Bl per cent of the protein of the hulls B> digestible, oS per cent of the Bcr- Kl ? . cent of the nitrogen ex Bit'', ?mu 77 per cent of thc fat. The B1.- nr. light and bulky, but other Bit tiny make a good substitute for B.v ii: iii . South', where grass crops BVi' always b?oii notoriously small B; inferior. The hulls aro baled or B*fS0il into sacks, aud in this <?on Blon they keep for a long time, ?ken packed away in bulk, like hay, B?y ferment and heat. ?Now that the cotton seeds and hulls Bv?ng been profitably disposed of, Bestem-s of the plants have attracted Bunion, and already they have been Bwosfully utiliied. AB a by-pro B*1 of thc cotton crop, the stems gwnise to prove as important aa tho lue piante of the cotton crop Bre long ranked in the South ss a B*ne animal food, ?boot equal to the B?e quantity of rye, wheat, or oat B*v- After the crop was harvested Hr aninJals were generally turned B5e on the land, and they would eat Be stubblp in places and grind some ?" into the soil. These stems would 1 ?trjpped of their foliage and ten B' twigs by the cattle, but thc hardy, B^s,-"-Ks would be left untouched. . B MC question of utilizing these B0i ??a fiber for cottou bagging at B-ted attention some years ago, but ? was .,i,iy recently that a process B patented for this purpose. The Hos are very rough aud coarse, and B^hsts found same difTculty in B ln2 machinery that would work up B Material satisfactorily. The fiber Wt UDu* to be good when once strip B* and sorted out. Samples of tho ?p11^ msde from tho stems have B? teated io the South, and it is il STAPLE. o due ts of Cotton. American. pronounced by experts tobe ffrst-clas in every way. The 5.?ld of the ?be ?H large, and when satisfactory ma chinery is produced a considerable ! banging industry will bo built up neai i thc eotton fields. Five tons of gooi : stalk will yield about 1,500 pounds ol ! first-class fiber. At this rate th< annual cotton crop will produce al! thc bagging needed for cotton baling and leave a good pei cen t ugo for othci purposes. Ol" course the industry i. largely in th?; experimental stages yet, but if i< wei!.s as wi ll as thc cotton seed ?'il industry ?lol. if will mn b many years before it will assume gi gani ic proportions. In lOgypt, thc common cotton ol' thc Nile districts ((Jossylii radi?is cortex] produce.-, a large root, thc bark ol which has long been used for medicinal purposes. The action of this bark i* similar to that of ergot. This fact has lcd tn, investigations herc, and it is believed that another by-product of thc cotton crop will be soon found in the roots of thc plants. Thc drue, 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 the cotton-seed hulls as food for animals, it might be said that any surplus of the crop can bc utilized ic making atiiuciai fertilizers. Cotton-hull ashes are very valuable for furnishing a cheap potash for thc tobacco crop, and there is quite a demand for it in all of th? tabacco growing districts of thin country. The quality of these ashes varies, but as a rule they are of considerable value. This loaves little of the cotton plant either to go to waste or to be returned to the soil. Every part of it is turned to sonic profitable usc, and as the years go by new uses for the products will be discovered. Already thc cot ton-seed oil-the most valuable by product of thc 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 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 thc quality of thc 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 seed. 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 i.-: produced. The residue is caliea soap stock and enters largely into thc manufacture of soaps. The refined oil is consumed chiefly as a food pro duct, as it makes a good substitute for salad aud cooking oils, and also for packing sardines and other tish. 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-tillers, lt dries very slowly and imperfectly, and this seems to debar it forever from entering into competition with linseed and similar oils for thc drug and paint trade. As a lubricant, the best refined cotton seed oil is very satisfactory, and it is iu considerable demand in thc machine trade. Relining processes- arc constantly developing new uses for thc oil. Thc yellow oil resulting from the first pro cess of refining, through treatment with alkaline solutions, is further puri fied by heating and filtration. Then the white oil of commerce is ob tained by shaking thc yellow oil with 2 or 3 per cent of fuller's earth. In purifying the yellow oil about 25 per cent of it is separated in thc form of stearin. This cotton seed stearin is employed in making candles and the various preparations of butter and lard surrogates. For some time this cotton-seed oil was mixed with lard intended fer cold olimates, and then its fluidity was cor rected by mixing it with beef fat. Mow 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 the oil is refiued. The soap, itself, made from thc oil, is used extensively by thc woolen'mills of this and other couutrics. It has been found tobe of special value in washing woolen goods, which it does not injure nor cause to shrink. Thus it is that the by-products of the cotton crop are multiplying, and in thc end they may prove moro valu uable than the lint. At present not much more than one-third of thc cot ton seed is used for manufacturing oil and similar products; but', as the de mand increases, and facilities improve for handling the seed, thc value of the crop will increase, and in time cotton seed oil will represent an annual valuo more than equal to the actual worth of the cotton lint. SHE'S UP IN WEDLOCK. Marriage is Not u Failure, Say? Mrs?, Smith, of Missouri. Chicago Chronicle. Mrs. Ii. 1). Smith, of Humausville, Mo.,' asserts that marriage is nota failure, She ought to know, as she bas been married sevcu times. De spite her 5."> years Mrs. Smith is still youthful aud handsome. She bab lately married agaiu, and the newly wedded couple are living in a little euttagc owned by Mrs. Smith's aged mother. '"1 have ofteu thought," said Mrs. Smith, "that 1 could forever set at rest that old, old problem, 'ls marriage a failure?' I would most positively assert that it is not a failure. I have had seven husbands and buried live ut' them. One ran away with another woman; the other, Brother Smith, will be home in a moment; li? i-iout attend ing to tho euw now. "Yes, my life has been a series of strange incidents. 1 have had much trouble, much of it," foldiug her bauds and ga/.ing reflectively out over tin. hazy meadows, "but straightening up more determinedly, "1 never give up. I look the present squarely in thc face and trust to the Lord to make the future brighter. Ile has always done it. "Tell you something about my life? Well, there is not much to tell, but 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, 1 call him brother from force of habit all my life. Ile was and is my pastor. How long was he engaged to me? Why, bless your soul, one day. Wc knew each other all our life-all my life, I mean. He came over to see mc 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 me 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 ofter 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 ouly 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. " H ven 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 thc wearing kind. "Yes, I've had a good many offers, but I always know what Fm doing, and when 1 make up my mind I don't believe in delay. I just go ahead and get. the thing over with. YTou see Neff turned out bad, but it wasn't my fault, t made him a good wife." lt has always been said in the com munity that Neff disappeared, and bas never been heard of. As the story goes, Mrs. Smith preserved thc nuptial garments of her departed spouses, and shows them to their successors. When she entertained Neff in- this way six months after shu became his wife, she dusted the garments off and remarked in a teasing way : "I'll be ?lusting yours off this way pome time." To this proposition Neff is reported to have promptly and energetically re plied: "I'll be -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 tho stories in town, Mrs. Smith had her fortuno told by ? 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 tho penitentiary. When asked about this Mrs. Smith said : "It's only partly true. I had my fortune told, as they say, by cards, and thc gypsy said I'd have seven husbands, and that the ssventh would outlive me. I try to make them for get it, but they won't. 1 don't want my husbands to die. I nursed Crozier sixteen months and Dougherty fifteen months, but they died anyhow. But here is my new husband now. I was just telling the gentleman," she said, turning to a tall, austere looking old man, who entered, "that I don't liko my husbands to die." Tho coloool looked thoughtful a mo mcut, and said: "No, I don't think sho does, but they do it, anyhow. She marries real sudden, too." '.Yea, Brother Smith," she replied, "you was real nervous for a few days, and I kinder thought you was coming around. "Brother Smith," she went OD, "would rather be addressed as a min ister than as colonel. Ile has an army record, though. He'll tell you about it while I get supper." Mrs. Smith was berti in Caldwell County, Missouri, November 12, 1^13. and raised in Harrisou County. At the age of 15 years she man ted George II. Vice, December 25, 1858. They lived together five : < ars, when he was killed while ou pie!.et guard ;>s the fir-t serge.int id Tr -, p M, 1-t Arkan sas cavalry. They ?..-. i one child, new Mr.-. Sam White, also living with her second husband,'and ?^! " lias ??verul children-two of them mani- .;. lu loss than a year, ?m October ll?. 18(?4, fehc married William de Priest. They had two children, both boys, Allen and Albert, and after six year.-* of married life Pc Priest died nt spinal trouble. Her next husband was Francis Mil ligan, and she married him .January J 13, 1S70. They bad two children, a boy and a girl, both living. Milligan died of typhoid fever October 27, 1883. She became Mr?. James Nett April 3, 188(1, and, as told, he disappeared six months later. She secured a di vorce in 1887 at Bolivar, Mo., and the same day married Jacob Crozier. A peculiar fact about her marriage to Ncff was that she was at thc same tune engaged to marry a man named Doyle, who lives near Ilumansvillc. She set the day, April 3, and made up her mind to marry whoever came first. Neff was the lacky man, and just as the minister, her present husband, pronounced them man and wife, Doyle rushed up, breathless, with the license in his hand. Neff laughed aloud and the new Mrs. Neff smiled as she said : "You're just five minutes too late." She has been sorry ever since she didn't take Doyle, lie is living iu St. Clair County, Missouri, now, is weal thy, and has got over his disappoint ment. One child, a girl, was thc result of her union with Crosier, but she died in infancy. Crozier died October 14, 1892, of consumption. Mrs. Crozier took her sixth matri monial step October 5, 1894, when she married G. W. Dougherty. He died January 13, 1897. All her husbands were farmers and fairly wealthy. Besides marrying her to Neff, Col. Smith,"dier present husband, officiated at the funerals of Crozier and Dough erty, and baptized several of her children. Cured Him. The Chicago Journal says that when Mr. Perry left his office, ho put on thc door this notice: "Will be back at 1 p. m." Ile had been gone some tithe when McGuire, ouc of his acquaintances, came to see hinton business. McGuire read thc card, pulled out his walch, sniffed contemptuously, took out his pencil, wrote something on the card and went away. It was not long after that when an other man came up, read the card, Mulled, looked at his watch, wrote something and then went away. Inside of a few minutes a third man arrived, examined the card, added something to the writing upon it and grinned as he walked off. A fourth, fifth and sixth man did thc same thing. When Perry returned at 2.15 o'clock this is what he found written under his promise to return by 1 o'clock: "You're a liar hy the watch. J. 1?. SIcG uire. 1:15 p. m. "You lie again. George K.
