Cotton's Varied Uses.

The United States is certainly the “land of cotton.” Nowhere else in the world is cotton gh»wn to such abundance and put to such a variety of uses, says the San Francisco Chronicle. The fiber, of course, is made into doth; the oil from the seeds is used as a good substitute for olive oil and as a basis for lard, and now the seeds themselves are being ground into flour and used fdr food purposes. To make the cottonseed sausage three pounds of sausage meat is mixed with one pound of cottonseed flour. This flour is said to contain as much nutrition as pork sausage.
