Saunders was wounded and his horse was killed, and Chalmers went to his assist? ance.

His idea is that all the seed should be put through a ootton seed oil mill, that the oil stoold be used fot oulinary pur* poses after proper refining, aod the hulls aod meal should be used for oattle feed aod the oattle manure returned to the farm. He exhibits tables io which the intrinsic value of the ootton seed is compared to that of wheat and corn, and node'takes to show that the time will probibly come whe ie ottcn seed will wield as mn h to the farmer per aero of the ground planted 99 corn or wheat This is exolusive of the hot entirely. Even the oil may bo mixed witli beef 6uet to make a very excellent quality of cooking material to take the p ace of lard, rod this possibil? ity again emphasizes the importance of oattle' raising io the cotton-growing area. It would seem that the growing of oattle acd the growing of ootton are of importance eaoh to the other, aod 1 also that the cotton seed, or rather the products of the eottoo seed, contribute i to a very large degree to the economi? cal raisiog of cattle and, therefore, to ths profit of the business. The reverse of this proposition is also true, that is, i that the raising of oattle on a ootton farm contributes to the economical pro? duction of ootton aod the betterment of its quality Those farmers who i first oome to a full understanding of > these two values aod of the best way i io which to make eaoh contribute to , the oiber, will' find a very considerable profit by takiog advantage of the im proved methods suggested by Mr 1 Johnson in the artiole io tbe article in i .The Forum aod io various little , pamphlets that be hit issued hereto ( fore. ? ?^^?^a?
