January 1. Suppose we start the new year with a romance? All right, here eoes The Romance of Cotton Seed I In the Uriah and careless days of slavery cotton was raised for its lint alone. This was swept on me snowy surface of the field and the rest was wasted. Under the pressure of poverty the South learned that it was just as foolish to raise sheep for the fleece as to raise a cotton stalk for lint, and that the heavy seed from which the fibre flowered was just as valuable as the mutton from wnicn tne wool grew. The story of the slow but sure way in which the despised seed grew into ap preciation is an interesting one, involv ing enormous figures and illustrating the progress that is being made in the South making crude oil from seed. A vear or two aeo I wrote a letter concerning certain mills that had been established for the purpose of pressing tbe oil out of cotton seed. The process was then a rough one, and the oil pro duced of inferior grade. The bulk of seed from which the oil had been taken was made into cakes and sold for stock food or fertilizer. There were then about 16 seed oil mills in the South. Cotton seed was worth $6 a ton, and the oil 30 cents a gallon. There are now sixty-seven seea on mills, and the price of cotton seed has doubled, being now about twelve dol lars a ton. This increase of six dollars per ton for cotton seed adds about three dollars to every bale of cotton raised by farmers who sell their seed, as eacn bale represents a half ton or seed. The mills take thirty-five gallons of oil from every ton and sell it at forty cents a gallon. They thus take fourteen dol- ars of wealth from each ton of seed, and the dry bulk left is better food or fertilizer than it was before the oil was taken out. The sixty-seven mills work ed up 180,000 tons last year, stripping out 82,500,000 worth of oil that had pre viously been wasted, and paying the farmers nearly Sl.OOO.OOO more for the seed than tbe same seed would have brought three years ago. This business is increasing very rapidly, new mills being built every year. REFINING THE CRUDE OIL. But another step has been taken in the handling of cotton, and mills have been established for the purpose of re fining cotton seed oil, and thus increas ing its value. Oil that has been refined is worth from C5 cents to SI a gallon, while crude oil is worth only 50, so that the refining process adds about 50 per cent, and make3 the oil of one ton of seed worth about $22, or one-fourth tbe value of the cotton that the seed pro duced. There are nine of these refineries now m operation, une or tnem, in Montgomery, refines 100 barrels or 5,000 jrallons a day, thus adding $1,250 every day to the value of the product it han dles. The other mills average perhaps 50 barrels a day each, making 500 bar rels a day for the total thus creating a value of over $6,000 every twenty-four hours and adding it to a heretofore des pised product This business is in creasing rapidly. The profits are large, and next year win see the renmng ca pacity doubled perhaps. The mills now running sell all they can make, and could sell ten times as much. England and France would take the product of 100 refineries at present prices. Indeed, most of the mills sell their yearly pro duct by contract A late suit developed that an English company had deposited $30,000 in Memphis as a bonus to se cure the output of one oil refinery for one season. A SUBSTITUTE FOR LARD. In the meantime the refiners are creating a new market and a better de mand for their on. it is used largely as an illuminating oil, being: the best for headlights and reflectors. It is used as an adulteration of linseed oil, and is pronounced by painters preferable to Unseed itself, it is used almost entire- for nar.kincr fish and especially sardines in America. And it is used as a sub stitute for lard in cooking. It is made into what is called cotton butter, and in this shape is rapidly supplanting lard. Two pieces of steak, fried one with oil and the other with lard cannot be told apart For bread it is a perfect substitute for lard, and for batter- breads it is much better. In egg-bread it fills the place of eggs. Intact in the kitchen it is . cleanlier, healthier, and better than lard, if the testimony of housekeepers can be taken. It is m uch cheaper. A pound of cotton butter will do tbe cooking of a pound and a half . of lard, and costs only thirteen cents, while lard is worth, sixteen to twenty cents. When a pan of steak has been cooked with oil, the oil not absorbed In the steak can be poured back into the can and used again.being just as clear and pure as before it was put oyer the fire. If it was used en tirely in the place of lard, we should have to write the epitaph "Ded of a FryinzPan" over departed southern vizor, less frequently than before. This oil has been tried in making. the light est and best of cake, and found incom- Darable. I asked Mr. J. . Boston.who is interested in the sale of cotton but ter, why it was, it being half as costly, quite as good, and cleanlier than lard, It did not supplant it. at once and en tirely. "Simply because there is a prejudice , . , . . . t. i u against cnanxing a uuBtuui wmuusu fathers and mothers used, . It It is just the same prejudice that caused people to carry a pumpkin at one end of a Stick and balance it with a rock at the other fox years and years before they discovered that they could put one fiumpkin against another. However, t Is .being introduced more rapidly than: -we had dared to hope. "If yon can sell all you refine," asked Mr. Boston the other day, "to Europe, why do you labor to create a demand in America? : . ; ' Simpiyl)ecause if we-open anew market we make a largeTtiemand and better toricea. We have ;inst shipped 1.000 barrels from the 'Montgomery re finery at 65 cents a gallon. At 13 cents a pound for cotton butter, every gallon of oil will yield $1. For many reasons we prefer a home market, and then we Deiieve we ao a gooa uung m substitu ting this perfectly clean, pore vegetable ofl for lard in the kitchens of our our homes. As-for the demand, I tell on that if everv ton of cotton seed in the South was pressed next year I could sell the enure ou output oeioreme 15th of November. I could actually have It sold Derore was maae. ' .' AN ENORMOUS WASTAGE. . "Now let me show "what a wastage there is. The cotton crop of last year produced over 8JD00,000 tons of seed it averaging about half a ton of seed to every bale of cotton. Of this amount only 180,000 tons, or about one-sixteenth, was worked up. With the other 200,0C0 there was buned and wasted 9&000.000 gallons of oil, worth in its crude stare (40 cents) sbU200,uoo, or in its rennea state (65 cents) $62,700,000. w s i ii i T . i x 8 peas. auTiseaiy wnen a say wasted, for it was literally wasted. The vast amount of seed not put through the mills was used for feed for stock or fertili zers. But it is demonstrable that the seed is better for either food or fertili zers after tbe oil has been taken out than before. The oil makes it too rich for food and retards its decomposition and assimilation as a fertilizer. A ton of the meal, the bulk left after the oil is taken out, is worth $18 dollars, or nearly twice as much as a ton of seed. Indeed, Mr. Boston tells me he exchan ges on his farm two tons of seed for one ton of meal. The hull of the seed is used for fuel at the mills, and the ashes from these hulls UjjerJfr '$25 a ton for fertilizing uses., V-' ' 1 If the whole crop of cotton seed was worked through the oil mills therefore, it would add over $60,000,000 to the cot ton crop and not deprive the land of one pound of fertilizer or the cattle and sheep of one pound of food. Indeed, it would only assist the land and the stock in digesting the food and make it more agreeable to them, and yet we work up only one-sixteenth of the seed. One difficulty, of course, is the lack of capital with which to build mills. This is being rapidly eliminated. Each year sees new- mills added, and the future will show even brisker growth. I hear that Mr. H. I. Kimball is going to es tablish a refinery in Atlanta, and that the former owner of Catoosa springs will establish one in Dalton. No legit imate enterprise in the South need ever lack for capital again. Another difficul ty, and quite a serious one, is that the mills cannot buy enough seed to Keep them busy the year through. The far mers having been accustomed for years to throw their seed back on the ground or waste it altogether, still pursue that plan. Of course mills established in new localities win be supplied from new territory, Even old mills find it easier to buy seed every year. The rise in the price tempts new farmers to sell, and in a short time the mills will get all the seed they want Then they will run twelve months in the year instead of six months as at present, and their capacity will be practically doubled. A STEP STILL FURTHER FORWARD. Now, we have seen how, in the past few years, we have taken from a ton of cotton seed 35 gallons of oil, hitherto wasted, worth first 30 and then 40 cents a gallon ; and we have seen under this process the cash value of a ton of cot ton seed rise from $6 to $12. We have seen further, a system of refining es tablished by which this crude oil, sell ing at 40 cents a gallon, has been made worth Go cents to $1 a gallon. But we should not stop even here. The American Grocer shows that salad oil and olive oil is selling in New i ork from $2.50 to $4 a gallon. There is not the slightest doubt that this is our cotton seed oil, refined up to the highest point and sold in fancy bottles at fancy prices. Analysis shows this the exports and imports show it and Americans who have been to Europe and Europeans who come here affirm it Indeed, since the excellent qualities of the cotton seed oil have been demon strated, it is not denied by those who sell it that the finer salad oils owe their origin to this humblo and despised seed. Now, the man who sells this oil at $4 a gallon gets more for the oil than the lint from the same seed gives the farmer for (allowing 20 per cent for loss in refining) the oil would be worth $112 per ton, while two bales of cotton which came from the same ton of seed would not bring over $90. If the refiner itr Marseilles or Ant werp can afford to send over here for his crude oil, pay its way across the ocean twice and its duty at New York and still zet rich on it how much better could he do by establishing his refinery in the southern States. And this is what it will come to. Had the cotton seed been grown in New England, every village would now have its re finery, and would have re-established in the making of "pure olive oil" a cute industry that died with the decadence of wooden nutmegs, and languished when the demand for flannel-sausage was diminished. There is not in the whole range of nature, a more perfect economy than is furnished in the hand ling of cotton seed. It comes to the mill bursting with an oil the quality of which is incomparable and the demand for which is exhanstless. The bulk of the seed becomes more valuable as an article of commerce and more useful for its material purpose after this wealth of oil has been pressed out In its hulls it furnishes the fuel for the machinery used to crush the balsam from its body carries even into its ashes all the valuable propertieaof its hulls. Considering these things, and the contempt in which this precious seed has been held, isn't there a tinge of romance in its development its ben eficent adjustments and its perfect vin dication..
