Cotton Seed as a Fertilizer.
There is no soil in this countrv so
rich that it may not be improved by
fertilizers. Even the lands m the vai.
I Icy of the Mississippi river are susccp
tiblc of gieat improvement by an in-
telligctlt and systematic application of
cotton seed as a manure.
The seed from the cotton crop of
the United States for the year 1803 a'
Iruling prices would exceed in value
lerhans $30000000 were it all to
reach the mills; 18 per cent however.
I will be withheld by the planters with
which to put in another crop but it is
ilmost certain that none ol it will be
returned to the land that produced it
as a fertilizer to build it up and rccup-
;rate 11 irom me exhaustion 11 nas tin
lergone in the production of previous
crop tne commercial vaius ot the
seed as part of the crop has 1 cached
such importance as to render the
producer deaf to the cries that mav
come up from an impoverished soil.
The dominating idea with him is that
the necessities of the cotton grower
are such that he Is compelled to con-
vett the whole of the product into
cash that he may be able to make the-
ends meet. While the Journal is not
unmindful of the many emergencies
that continually confront the farmer
who through a long and toilsome
season is lending all his energies to
the production and preparing for mar-
ket this great staple of our southland;
yet we cannot but criticise the Hlstar red
economy which would starve to death
the goOse that lavs the golden egg
simply for the reason that it would
depreciate the net proceeds of the
golden fruit to furnish it food.
The merchant and mill man will
urge the planter to sell his $eed and
if he should want fertilizers to pur.
chase the commercial kind including
cotton seed meal. These are all very
wen out me writer is preparea to say
that one ton of'cotton seed tresh from
the gin properly applied is worth as a
manure or soil'buildcr. three tons jf
any knpwn commercial fertilizer cot-
ton seed meal included. In addition
it is much cheaper.
You wil have to furnish two tons
of seed to get one ton of cotton seed
meal and you pay the transportation;
you wilt be in luck if you can even get
such an exchange; while the seed fresh
from the gin house are already at the
end of the row ready to be applied
with no freight bills to pay.
Beyond all this however is the
more important fact that the seed
distributed in the furrrows between
the rows and covered by two furrows
thrown upon them at any time from
November to February enters into
and becomes a soil-builder retaining
all of its chemical qualities and the
benefit will manifest itself for years
whereas the meal has to be applied
twice to each growing crop to make it
a complete success.
The foimer is applied to the land
the latter is applied to the plant. One
is a soil-builder and the other merely
a plant-builder
The meal application may suit the
annual lessees but certainly is a suici-
dal policy for the owner of the land.

He Footed the BUI.
There is a member of James T.
Powers' company on whom a good sto-
ry is told in ihe Philadelphia Call. The
gentleman in question made hts first
trip to Europe this sqmmer and came
back to New York with a smattering of
Continental Europe 'He drank in
Spanish ate in German slept in
French smoked in Italian and in a
perlectly inoffensive way make a pro-
nounced butt ol himself till' last week
in Chicago when Powers and Dailey
put up a job on him The two latter
were in a well-known Michigan a en-
ue restaurant one night after the thea-
ter with several friends when they
espied the other fellow making his way
toward them. Powers leaned over
and whispered to Dailey. As the
new-comer seated himself Powers and
Dailey broke into an impetuous; argu-
t ment
"I tell you I arn right. Petei" ex

thick mass p( red hair back from his

cause yoi have been in England a

''What are vou fellows squabbling
about anyway" Hiked Mr. PJimcbgok
a he looked judicially from one to the
other. -Let me in and I'll decide It."
t "Oh it's something you know noth-
ing about0 said Powers excitedly.
"Dailey was brotight up n an Irish
ward in New York and has the nerve
to tell me he understands German."
'"German" replied Phraiebook.
"Why that's easy enpugh. What's
the question?" "Question!" exclaimed
Powers. "Why Dailey don't under-
stand the proper translation of 'Was
wollen sie haben?"
"Oh buns!" chirruped Phrasebook
instantly gratified at the easy opportuni-
ty to show off his linguistic accom-
plishments "It's 4What will you have?"
"Two quarts of champagne!' yelled
Powers and Dailey in triumphant duet.

tional bankruptcy which now affects
the nation has exsted for months.
The administration under which this
shameful condition "as induced has
restored to every possible financial
subterfuge to avoid the necessity of
an open confession by appeal 10 Wall

its successor empty vaults and a lop-
sided ledger. It is now admitted by
both the out going and incoming ad-
ministration that borrowing is the
only means by which the machinery of

The nation mUst have money. Neither
Cleveland or Carlisle can run this gov-
ernment without money and under
modern methods immense amounts of
money are required. Bonds must be
issued and the nation's resources
mortgaged to secure principal and in-
terest. This is what financieis have
desired all the time. The "decrease
and gradual extinction of the public
debt" has always been a thorn in their
tides therefore they have availed
themselves of a self-wrought opportun-
ity to overthrow that policy and com-
pel the government to increase its in-
debtness by a further sale of bonds.

A Rival of Chaancy Depew
Governor J. Sterling Morton of Ne-
braska next secretary ol agriculture is
a gre t wit a ready orator and is said
to rival Chauncty M. Depew in the
cleverness of his alter-dinner speeches
says the Washington Post. He is an
inimitable story teller and the mem-
bers Gridiron Club vividly rememler
how he has charmed them more than
once with the eloquence and brightness
of his remarks at their dinners. He is a
great stump orator having unusual de-
scriptive powers and a wonderful faculty
for making illustrations. He is partic-
ularly versed in Bible and in history
and is never at loss for a historical Or
scriptural incident o point a moral or
ado.n a tale. He is in his manner frank
and cordial easily and approachable
and the very soul- of courtesy.
I heard two good stories about Mr.
Morton yesterday. The one illustra-
tes his free trade tendency and the
other his passionate devotion to his
wife'. He was talking to an audience
of farmers one day and he related a
dream which had come to him the
night before when as it seemed to
him he was in the lower regions.
Everything and everybody were burn-
ing except a number of bodies hang-
ing in a row. He asked his satanic
majesty why these bodies were not
combustible.
'Oh" was the reply1 "they are some
farmers who did not know enough to
vote for tariff reform and they are ac-
tually too green to burn."
Whtn Mrs. Mis. Morion died her
husband-who was greatly denoted to
her eredted over her remains a tomb-
stone which bore this inscription:
"Caroline French wife of J. Sterling
Morton and mother of Joy Paul and
Mark Morton."
"Why did you put the boys' names
in?" inquired a friend of him one day.
Because" said Mr. Morton. "I
took my boys out to the cemetery and
I showed them their mother's grave.
Bo)s' I said to them 'yourmother
is buried here. If one of you ever
does anything dishonorable or anything
of which she would be ashamed if she
were alive I will chisel your name
from her tombstone"
It is hardly necessary to add that
the three names are still there.

Rice Culture in Texas
Rice culture in Texas is attracting
much attention by the favorable condi-
tions present for its successful conduc-
tion atid promises to become an im-
portant industry in that state. Its
cultivation is being rapidly extended
as is evidenced by a comparison of the
shipments from stations along the line
or uie oouuieni racum 111 ivwi tim-
ing 1891 and 189a. The latter year-
shows total shipments of 197540486
pounds against 79518700 for the
