\ WIDE USE OF COTTON. It Enters into the Production * Most Varied Articles. Capt. B. H. Holmes, of New leans, has been quoted by The Bj more American as saying that i? -? A AAA 1 xl ^ one man in iv.vuu nas uie icmu idea of the vast number of uses which the once despised cotton s is now being put. This staterr presents no exaggeration, says ' New York Commercial. And e in the South itself, where alone this country the cotton seed is rai: ft is QT+romlv rfmihtflll if the joritv of the people even on the p] tations could name a quarter part these uses. Captain Holmcls merates them thus: From the clean seed are obtai linters and meats, the hulls mafc the best and most fattening feed cattle that has yet been fot From the linters are gathered : +^T.iol fr\r mnttrASSPS. felt Wi lUi IVi , paper, rope and a grade of un< wear, likewise cellulose, out of wl guncotton is made.

Before refineir to the edible stage, the oil is knc under many names, such as salad starine, winter oil and white olemargarine being the chief inj dients in compound lards. The or nal oil, also known as soap st< has fatty acids used in the manu ture of soaps, roofing tar, paints glycerine, and from this comes explosive nitroglycerine, I might so add that the meal, aside from use as cattle provender, is transfo ed into bread, cake, crackers even candy. Last of all come / doctors, who are saying that "wonderful seed is a boon to tne s since from it soils an emulsion prepared that has been known to of value in tuberculosis and ot ailments.
