8R0WING COTTON ?N AFRICA.
Abstract of Report Made by Supt.
Galloway of the German Expe?
riment Station.
Atlanta, Ga., March 28.-The Ger?
man Colonial Economic society of Ber
I lin has issned an elaborate report of
the work of the experimental cotton
plantation in Toge West Africa, man?
aged by J. N. Cal lo way and three
young negroes from Booker Washing?
ton's school at Tnskeege, Ala. The
following is an abstract from Superin?
tendent (Galloway's statement to the
society, which is included in the
report :
"Our planting coverved six months'
"time, but can be divided into two
periods-from March to June and from
,July!to August. The rainy season
began in March, but was very light at
k first. On March 27 we planted our
"first American cotton, about one and a
? half acres. This sprouted quickly and
grew nicely. After one month; it was
a foot and a half high. April brought
frequent, light rains. It was a good
month for planting. During this
month we planted twelve acres of
American cotton. In May, twenty
acres were planted. The rain during
. May was very heavy but did not injure
the growth of the plants. In the first
days of July very damaging rains
?came. The bolls of the early crop were
entirely destroyed. The plants rusted
and the bolls rotted without opening.
-Only two bales of cotton were harvest?
ed from seed planted before July, much
more perished in the field.
* ' In the months of July and August
"twenty acres were planted with Amer?
ican and Egyptian cotton. September
and October had less rain, but clouds
and fog continued. By the end of
October there was more sun and a
higher temperature. Seed planted in
.July and August produced in Decem?
ber what wQuId in America be called
half a crop. A small area was planted
in October, but with little success, as
rain ceased to fall soon after. In these
experiments we used native, American
(upland and sea island) and Egyptian
seed. Next year Peru seed- will be
tried. The large part of the seed sown
was American. I believe that by plant?
ing the seed in late summer, and thus
avoiding the heavy rains, good results
can be obtained with American cotton.
It is probable too, that better results
can be obtained by using cotton seed
or artificial fertilizers. I am of the
opinion that by crossing native with
American cotton a variety adapted to
the colony can be secured.
"One hundred acres of land in all
v, were cultivated. Up to the end of
December 23 bales of cotton were in
readiness to ship. Thirteen of these
were from native seed, nine from
American seed and one from Egyptian
?eed. The natives grow cotton as a
k secondary product with yams. There
is sufficient good cotton land. The ex?
pedition intends to distribue good cot
ion seed to the natives. In native cot
ron the proportion between lint and
seed was 1,800 pounds o ' seed cotton
to a bale of 500 pounds The crop from
American seed snowed the same pro?
portion as in America, i. e., 1500
<? pounds of seed cotton to a bale.
"The natives must be taught to cul?
tivate more cotton on the same ground
with the same labor. If possible,
they must be furnished with draught
animals. Although it was known that
no animal could resist the climate, 20
horses and 20 oxen were brought
from the interior. The tsetse fly soon
began its fatal work, and by Septem?
ber all the animals were dead. Experi?
ments should be continued with na?
tive horses. After our animals died it
was necessary to depend on native labor
ior everything, and natives drew the
bales of cotton to the coast in lumber
-wagons. Portable engines should be
introduced to furnish power for gin?
ning and baling, and a railway should
be built from the coast inland. Our
-experience has given us every reason
to believe that in a few years it will
be possible to export many thousand
bales of cotton from the colony of
Togo. This will not have any effect
on the markets of the world, * but it
will be of advantage to Germany, and
-especially to the two and a half mil?
lions of natives in the colony.
Under present conditions the cost
of a 500 pound bale of cotton delivered
at Bremen, including ginning, press?
ing and moving to the coast by native
labor, shipping expenses, sundries, in?
surance, is 225 mirks (about 863.00. )
If crossing native with American seeds
makes it possible to get a bale from
1,500 pounds of seed cotton and the
introduction of steam power for -gin?
ning, ba?Dg and hauling lowers the
cost to equivalent expenses in America,
it should be possible to produce a bale
?of cotton of the same quality to be
laid down in Bremen for 190 marks
(about 847.00j."
SHERMAN'S MARCH.
It is none of our fight, but we wish
-to go on record as indorsing everything
the Nashville American has said about
Gen. William T. Sherman and his
march.to the sea. There is not in
the whole annals of civilized warfare,
if such an expression may be used, a
record that for brutality, incendiar
'ism, slaughter, devastation and gene?
ral barbarism that comes anywhere
near the one that Sherman cut across
the bosom of the South on that march.
His path was strewn with ruin, cities
were burned, women outraged, farm
property ruthlessly destroyed, defense
jess people robbed and, in fact, if
there was any possible crime that
Sherman's army did not commit we do
not know what it was. Possibly it
will do no good at the present time to
discuss that black page in history,
but the time will never come-it
ought not to come-when self-respect?
ing Southerners will quietly listen to
defense of Sherman and his march to
the sea. The men who are responsible
for the discussion are the ones who
are rushing to the defense of Sher?
man. When a man's own brother
would not defend him, others ought
not to try it. There will be no recon?
ciliation in this country if we are to
indorse Sherman to bring i? _about.

BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW.
Activity Changes From Whole?
salers to Retailers-Effect of
the Holidays.
New York. March 28.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow wi ll say :
Trade activities have shifted from
first to second hands this week.
Wholesale and jobbing distribution
of dry goods, clothing, liats and caps,
milinery and shoes has been rather
quieter, as was only natural in view of
the culmination of the spring demnad
before Easter. Retail distribution,
favored by spring weather, has been
very active east and west, with a fair
business at the south. Among the
industries, new demand for iron and
steel has on the whole been less
active, but production and shipment
have gone forward at undiminished
speed. The b iilding trades have taken
a decided spurt in activity. Lumber
is active at all markets, at higher
prices than ruled a year ago. The edge
has rather been taken off cotton and
cotton goods prices by the reaction in
the raw material and the talk of
further labor unsettlement, but values
as a whole are steady.
Aggressive strength in prices is
chiefly manifested by hog products,
which, it h? declared, have been
manipulated by packers. A more
reasonable explanation, however, is
that the high prices_for beef and mut?
ton have largely diverted consumption
io hog products. 'Milder weather
has relieved the strain on the coal
trade somewhat, but strike talk ^as
prevented weakness in prices.
Rather less activity Tn iron and
steel is noted, but no loss cf price
firmness is observable. The , jnliar
situation of the foundry pi. ?-^n
market is shewn by the fact nat
prices of that grade are SI higjujr
per ton than Bessemer. Finished iron
and steel has been active, implement
and wagon rnanufacturers buying heav?
ily of steel bais, which are nominally
S2 per ton higher. Despite the fact
t!rjat tin plate mills are booked for five
months ahead, the leading interest
continues to take orders at $4 per box.
Testimony to the activity in hardware
is well nigh unanimous. Chicago
reports demand active beyond all pre?
cedent. Jobbeis in cutlery and build- '
ere' hardware at New York report
inability to secure supplies fast
enough. ^
The analysis of the cotton market,
given a week ago, to the effect that
the market was on a dead centre and
that the position appeared to be over?
bought was comirmed this week by the
sharp break of nearly one-third of a
cent in futures and of one-fourth of
one cent in spots, brought about by
tired, long liquidation. A more cheer?
ful tone developed at the decline, how?
ever, and covering in anticipation of
tho holidays recovered a portion of
the loss.
The leading cereals are irregularly
lower after an apparently futile effort
at bulling prices. Last week's decline
brought in consi derable export busi?
ness in wheat, and some revival was
reported even in corn. Steady buying
and talk of a squeeze in corn were
reflected sympathetically in wheat. The
taD: of a corner in July corn was aided
by the small supplies of contract
grades, bur, the tendency to take profits
in anticipation of the holidays weak?
ened prices, which generally closed
lower than a week ago. Wheat crop
advices have on the whole been very
good, though insolated reports of.
damage in Kansas and Oklahoma have
been received. These, however, do
not agree with Bradstreet's reports of
liberal rains in ti e southwest and the
improved feeling in business circles
generally in that section.
Business failures number 183, as
against 189 in this week last year.
Failures in Canada number 22, as
against 28 a year ago.
The Messaije of Easter.
A living hope '"by the resurrection
of Jesus Christ from the dead," is the
message which Easter morning brings
to us. Not without reason therefore
Christians celebiate Easter Sunday
with thanksgiving and praise to Christ
"who hath abolished death, and hath
brought life and immortality to Hight
through the gospel." lt ought to be
a day of rejoicing. Indeed, if we
could fully apprehend and rightly
appreciate the glorious life beyond,
which the resurrection of Christ an?
nounces and demonstrates as an abso?
lute certainty, we could not repress
the emotions of gladness and joy which
would thrill our hearts. The resur?
rection of Christ is a monumental fact
whose base rests on earth and whose
top reaches into heaven. With grate?
ful hearts, with simple faith, with
fervent prayer, with holy love, let us,
on Easter morning, unite with the
thousands of Christians throughout
the world in wearing around this
monument a garland of praise.

New York, March 27.- Mine work?
ers and mine owners; of the anthracite
fields debated their differences for
four hours today in a conference ar?
ranged by the conciliation committee
of the National Civic Federation, but
the meeting was without result save
that the workes agreed not to strike
on April 1 as decreed at the Shamokin
convention. There is to be further
friendly discussion between the two
interests and Senator Hanna, as chair?
man of the industrial department of
the federation, was empowered to call
another conference at any favorable
time within the ne.*t 30 days. The
workers asked for an increase in pay, a
shortening of the working day and the
adoption of a scale fer the entire dis?
trict. The operators declined to grant
the demands as to time and pay and
refused to permit the complete union?
ization of their properties. The opera?
tors offered to meet employes with
grievances at any time but insisted
that there be no distinction ?between
union and non-union men. .They also
asserted that present market condi?
tions did not warrant any incease in
wages or decrease in v.-orking time.

VALUE OF COTTON SEED.
Formerly Considered Waste, it is
Now a Valuable Product.
Compiled by the Boston News Burean.
To a fuller understanding of the im?
portance of the merger in process in
the cotton industry the following relat?
ing to cotton seed and its products and
to fertilizers for cotton production, is
necessary.
Formerly cotton seed was thrown
away. Stringent laws were in force in
most cotton producing States requir?
ing its destruction to avoid the poison?
ing of streams, or the destruction of
cattle or of agricultural lands.
In 1870 practically all the cotton
seed oil that was made was exported,
and its total value was under 815,000.
In 1880 there were 45 mills, exporting
nearly 7,000,000 gallons of oil, valued
at 83,225,000.
In 1890 there were 357 mills, crush?
ing 2,479,386 tons of seed, producing
93,325,729 gallons, valued at 821,390,
674, besides by-products, that brought
up the value to 842,411,835. These
are the value at point of production.
Of the above, the exports of oil alone
were 49,356,741 gallons, valued at
$16,541,321. The amount of seed crush?
ed was barely one half of the available
supply and in a-" short-crop" year.
The vast increase of the business has
not kept pace with the increase in the
demand for this pure vegetable oil,
which is rapidly becoming as import?
ant to mankind as has become the lint
or "cotton," and there seems to be
almost no limit to the uses of and
needs for it. So, too, with the ever
increasing by-products.
Some figures will illustrate this.
One ton (2,000 pounds) of cotton seed
results in :

Linters, . 23 1

Total, 2,000 100
The 93,000,000 gallons of oil are
utilized as follows:
Exported 49,000,000 gallons: To
France, 300,000 barrels, for making
soap and olive oil : Netherlands, 200,
000 barrels, for making butter: Bel?
gium, 45,000 barrels: Great Britain,
65,0C^barrels: Austria, 75,000 barrels:
Germany, 55,000 barrels: Italy, 60,000
barrels; Mexico, 40,000 barrels; South
America, 30,000 barrels: South Africa,
West Indies, etc. 100, COO barrels.
The balance is consumed in the
United States in the form of lard com?
pound, soap, oleomargarine, salad oil,
cooking oil, burning oil and sardine
packing.
Four hundred pounds of the cotton
seed meal added to one ton of the
hulls makes an ideal cattle food. Some
? hundreds of thousands of cattle are so
fattened for the market and at great
increase in value.
Over 57,000,000 pounds of linters
(the short lint) recovered are used as
filling for cheap cotton fabric? and
carpets, for wadding or batting, twines
and mattress making.
A United States agricultural bureau
publication says that the meal and
hulls, after the extraction of the oil,
contain 100 per cent of all the original
value of the seed as either a fertilizer
or a cattle food; while if fed to cattle,
the ground receives from 80 to 95
per cent of all the original value as a
fertilizer.
The claim is often made that cotton
is the most useful to man of ?all the
plants that nature produe.es. ?The Uni?
ted States products two-thirds of the
world's supply of cotton.

regards the charges as unworthy its
attention, by reason of insufficient evi?
dence and obvious error in statement of
alleged facts. The department is per
fectly aware also that the Danish gov?
ernment does not intend to pay one
cent of the 850,000 claimed by Christ?
mas as his commission, so that, of
course, none of that money could be
used to corrupt American statesmen
and newspapers.

In a country as large as that in
.which we live, with the greater part of
its producing regions widely 'separate
from the markets which they serve,
the matter of transportation is one of
vast importance, writes Hon. Martin
Doge in Forum. This applies particu?
larly to our agricultural products: for,
while a great portion both of our
manufacture output and of our farm
growth must be moved long distances
by rail or water before reaching a
market, practically all of the latter
must also be transported for greater or
less distances over the public high?
ways. The question of marketing
these agricultural products, amounting
in the United States to 81,000,000,000
annually, on terms that the dealer can
afford to pay and the grower to accept,
often reduces itself to a question of
cheap and quick delivery; in other
words, to a question of economical
transportation.
t As far as the railways and steamship
lines are concerned, this problem has
been dealt with very intelligently and
satisfactorily. Skill and money have
been applied without stint to the
provision of enlarged means of con?
veyance, improved ways and increased
power. These influences, under the
stress of strong competition, have re?
duced long distance freight rates to a
reasonable level.
There is one phase of this transporta?
tion problem, however, which has
approached no satisfactory solution.
That is the matter of wagon road haul.
As has already been said, while the
greater part of our farm products
travel by steamship, canal or railway
for a portion of the journey to market,
virtually all of them are conveyed for
some distance over the public high?
ways. It is unfortunate that this is
often the most expensive part of their
journey. It has been shown by
mathematical demonstration that it
costs more to move a bushel of wheat
or a ton of hay ten miles over the
average country roads of the United
States than to transport the some bur?
den 500 miles by railway or 2,000 miles
by steamship. It has happened many
times in different parts of the country
that farmers have let crops go to waste
because the cost of hauling them to
the nearest market or railway shipping
point over wretched and ill kept roads
amounted to more than could be real?
ized for them afterwards: whereas,
if good roads on which heavy loads
could be hauled had been at hand, the
same crops could have been marketed
at a small profit to the producer, while
the economic gain resulting from their
application to useful purposes would
have been very considerable.
A terrible storm swept over South?
ern Alabama and Mississippi Thursday
and Friday. In some localities eleven
inches of rain fell within forty-eight
hours. Railroad travel is suspended,
tracks bridges and public roads wash?
ed away and an immense amount of
property lost.
DISTILLED WATER.
It Is the Purest. Best and Only Ab?
solutely Safe Water.
Boil a gallon of water until there is
but a quart left, and the quart will
contain ali the impurities of the gal?
lon and be nearly four times as im?
pure as before. Continue the boiling,
and all the impurities-animal, vege?
table and mineral, except the gases
thrown off-will be reduced to one sol?
id mass. The water which is evapo?
rated and passed off as steam is very
nearly pure. But, you will say, it kills
the dangerous germs. We will sup?
pose it does, but their remains furnish
material for bacterial life to feed up?
on. Do you relish the idea of eating
in food or drinking their dead and de?
composing bodies, which poison the
water by their decomposition? The
fact is scientific investigation has prov
ed that boiling only kills the feeblest,
the least injurious, germs.
Try a simple experiment Put un?
boiled city water in one bottle and the
same that has been boiled for half an
hour or more in another, cork tightly
and keep in the sun or in a warm place
for a week or longer and note the dif?
ference. The unboiled water will show
a marked depreciation in looks, taste
and smell, but that which has been
boiled will be so much worse in these
respects that no one would think of
using it. In comparison with these
you can submit a properly sealed bot?
tle of pure distilled water to the same
conditions, and at the end of a year it
will be found to be as pure, sweet and
perfect as when first bottled.
The purest and best and the only ab?
solutely safe water io use for drink?
ing and fie preparation of all foods
and artificial drinks is that produced
by distillation, but the most imperfect
one produces a water far superior in
purity and healthfulness to the very
best spring waters under their most
favorable conditions. The nearest ap?
proach to it in purity is rainwater,
which is distilled water of nature's
own production, when collected on
clean surfaces, in uninhabited sections,
where the air is pure and uncontami?
nated by smoke, dust city and factory
gases, etc.-Sanitarian.

SHAM DIAMONDS.
Tiley Are Hore Common Thaa Is
Generally Imagined.
A point in favor of the diamond is
that its imitation is more or less easy
of detection. A real diamond cannot
be touched with a hie. and a false one,
though it can be made to scratch
glass, will not cet quartz, its brillian?
cy also faces, while the real diamond
is absolutely permanent. It reflects
all the light falling on its posterior sur?
face at an angle of incidence greater
than 24 degrees 13 minutes, but its
counterfeit only reflects half this light.
But the imitation of the diamond
may be more common than is imag
I ined. There is a good story of one of
? the famous M. Bourguignon's custom?
ers. A lr.dy went into the well known
Paris atelier of sham gems and asked
the price of a parure in exact imitation
of the one she produced. "Was M.
Bourguignon sure that the imitation
would he perfect? Had he observed the
peculiar beauty and purity of the
Stones?" The reply caine: **B? calm.
madame. The same workman shall
have the job. You may rely upon an
exact counterpart cf bis former work.**
Pulverized quartz is used for these
stones, and it is supplied In the sand
from the forests of Fontainebleau.
Hundreds of men and numbers of wo
men a::d girls are employed in the
Bourguignon business, and they make
not only diamonds, but pearls, emer?
alds, rubies and sapphires. The girls
line the false pearls with tish scales,
and wax. polish and color with mineral
