II spite of what has been accomplish edl inl Southern dCvlopmOnt and of the magnificent record now being imade, the MAanufactu rrs' Record, in a broad survey of the situation takes the grounid that tle best is still ahead. It ays: "The South is endowed as is no other country in the world with ma terials upon which to found the great est variety of idustries, and with con ditions which favor. industries of the highest class. Coal as representing cheap power and iron as representing cheap machinery, whether it be in wheels in a mill or a loconitive on the Irails over which tle locomotive hauls trais, are the great fundaien tals of modern energy applied to the creation of wealth. Nowhere else in the world can good coal be mined or iron or steel be made at so low a cost as in the SoNuthern States. This has been demonstrated. Tihe coal lies in the earth so accessible that, a third of tle( work necessary in England Will briing u1he coal to the breaker in this country' , :id ironi lies alongside 'the coal.

TIIIE~ VA LUE OFl (XYIl'ON sI-:1.:1). Our cottonseedl crop is reiinarkalei for the aumount of' flesh-ftorminig uinteri al that we may secure fr'om it annumal ly. With cottonseed mnater'ials mn hianid, our' fed cattle gaiinmoie rapidly than (d0 the stock of otheri por'tions 'olf lie Unaited States, as determmiied by actumal eXperiment. In this connei ctio n Pro, f'essor lienary, in hiis vahable boo(k up on ' 'Feed and JFcedmig,"' after' presenit ing a table showing the results of' feed mng cottonseced atid Its products, says. ''This table shows thie high value of' ('ottoniseedl, whether raw, roasted or boiled, anad also of its by-product, cot tonisee'd meal, for beef prioduict ion. No grain raised at (lie N4orth equals it, pounmd for' pouand, for' beef pr'odtaction. W hen we i'eflect that, in every pouand of cottoni fIbre grown there are'i two p~ounads of seed, nio algugmient is needed to convince uas that (lie Sout h is capable of produtcing thle beef reqau'ie for hlomle consummptioni." if the 1 ,500,000 tns of' cottonseed pr'oduaced b~y the State aunmudly be estinated at one-hialf (lie 'value (per bushel) of corn valutedu at 4t0c. it is wor'th, for' feed inag pulrposes alone, $18,000,000, and for fertilizinig pur1 poseH (the feed can be tutilized to (lie extent of $t,000,000, so that in the seed of thielcotton cropI alone (lie citizens of the Sslate shiouldl receive $24f,000,000 per . annumi, if fully fer tilized. Inycatigation by (lie Texas station shows that if priopierly combined w ith hay and corn, a pound of raw seed is worth mnor'e for beef prodluctioni' than a polauld of corni and cob meal (chops), Experinents (conducted by P rofessor' Gully)' with steers fed hay aand 5.07 polundhs of, chops, and 5.50 pounds raw seed, gainedI more .in thie same lenigth )f time than did similar steers fed uy A mnd 13.02 pounds of chop. In this !-ase 5.50 pounds of cottonsed proved 'r nore than equal to 7.52 pounds of ;hops for steer feeding. In this case v iteers were fed for eighty-three days a laily ration of corn and hay (weighing 18.4 pounds), causing a gain of 1.89 ounds per day, while the ration of -ottouseed, corn and hay weighed only 1 L4.8 pounds, and caused a gain of 2.07 >ounds. When fed corn and hay alone 1 tn 800-pound steer may be expected 8 .o gain at the rate of two pounds per lay under favorable vonditioLs for a short fattening period. When cotton Sced is judiciously combined with corn a id hay, or corn and hulls, the gains 0 run as high as 2.5 or 3 pounds every o lay for such steers. It is important ,o note that these fast gaius are secur id from rations that in the Southwest Jost, less than a ration composed of hay a ind corn. Therefore tile present presumption that 33 1-3 pounds of ( seed is equal to about 28 pounds of I uori appears entirely safe and con- L servative. The demonstration of this r fact has forced a recognition of hlie value of cOttOnSeed and it is now worth C l6imiiercially onie-half as much per blushcl as corn. t Comparing the amount of available seed it the State for feeding pulrpoes rll with the number of cattle to be fed a witer ration, annually (alloiwintg 20, )00,000 bushels of seed for Ilantg 3even milhion acres of' cotton, estimat-1 ing the milliber of cattle .upon Winteir And parlial winter rations at 3,0"0,000 had, which is more than lialf of tile t ,200,000 head of cattle in Texas), we I see that 23 bushels of seed are pro- I luced for every anlimial thus estimated f upon, or a sutllicient amount of seed to reed 2,000,000 head of 750-poind steers it fill seed ration (12.5 pounds per day) 'or ninety days, wheni inl collbilatioil witi ordinaiy hay. If is a fact worthy I of note that feeding value of the seed t is not largely diminished by cooking tile miieats and extracting tihle oil when sent to the oil mills. 110W TO l'I4ANT BROOM COIN.

It is the purpose f the writer to tell of what is perhaps t no of the most delightful natural re- i orts in the South to-day, and one that ; destined soon to become one of the - 1ost popular by reason of its wonderful I daptability to the needs of those in I earch of health and recreation. About six miles from the centre of I troenville stands, in the midst of a plain, 'aris Mountain, which reats its head at 1 ,ast one thousand feet abovo the sur. ( ounding country. On the top of the r lountain is something like twelve hun red acres of land, much of it being omiparatively level and a large propor-. ion adapted to building purposes. Oin he mountain is an abundance of health. t ;lving free stone water, and also it mag ilicent growth of timber. t Many. of tihe citiens of (Ireenville I .id the surrounding coulitry have been I onversaut, with these facts, and the poe I biljties of the mountain as a coIvenii.
