Cotton seed Meal for Feedlng-


Every farmer, gardener, dairynan' and
stock raiser should read with care the fol-
lowing strong testimony from one of
the best agricultural journals IN the Jnited
States of the great value of cotton seed meal
for feed
1t is the universal experience of all who
use cotton seed meal, that 1t is by far the
best and cheapest feed known: 1t is half
cheaper than corn or corn meal:
Cotton seed cake meal, now to be found
IN our markets, is the residue left after
pressing the oil from the cotton seed ground
for feed The cotton seed, as it comes from
the gins, IS covered with a hull or she'll
which IN the upland variety is clothed with
short down of cotton fibre. The seed
makes more and better oil, and better feed
if it is deprived of this hull; nevertheless,
there Is, or has been, considerable seed
pressed which has not been thus decOrtica.
ted There are several patented processes
for this hulling or decOrtication- After
pressing, the cake Is ground for feed, as we
find, and sold at considerably lower prices
than taose of hnseed cake aud neal Its
actual value for feeding purposes Is consid.
eSable higher. Prof 5, w. johnson, in a
report made to the, Connecticut State Agr5-
cultural Society, 1857, says "Cotton seed
cake Is much richer in oil and albuminOus
matters than the linseed cake. Three
pounds of the cotton seed cake are equiva-
lent to four of the Hnseed cake of average
quality. The value of the article as a
manure is obviously very considerable
The dung of the cattle fed upon it viii be
greatly richer, both in nitrogen and phos-
pilates, than shat of animals fed on hay
alone. Where stock is kept probably the
best manner of asipg this as q fertilizer Is
to iced it to the cattle, and carefully apply the
manure they furnish. In this way, what
ever is not economical as fat or flesh will be
available as manure"
We have tested IN the manger, the sound
ness of these views from the labratorY and
have no doubt of their correctness. q
We OYeTeame a prejudice IN using the meal
for feeding milch COWS, and found it a very
valuable article. All animals will not eat it
at first If 1t is not Felished at once, II may
be mixed in small quantities with corn meal
and sprinkled with it over cut feed. The
most reluctant animal will soon come to it
greedily. We would use the meal in con-
nectiOn with both roots and hay IN the win
ter, feeding not more than four quarts day
1t is said to be dangerous to feed it to young
calves while living In part upon milk
There are well attested cases upon record
of its having killed them Whether this
was owing to some defect in the preparation
of the meal, we are not able to say. 1t is a
safe article for COWS, increases the flow of
milk, and keeps them In good condition.
1t stands at the head of all kinds of fodder
in producing manure rich in nitrogen. As
the value of manure depends mainly upon
the food from which it is made, farmers
ought to look a good deal more sharply at
this matter than they have been accustomed
to-AmeTicGR Ag7 cultwast

1t was not matter of surprise to the peo-
pie of this county that Gen. Brown was
made President of the Constitutional Con-
vention now in session at Nashville. He is
certainly the man for the place. We agree
with the Nashville Banner that he is, per
haps, the most popular citizen of the Com
monwealtb, and certainly ore of its ablest
and truest Learned in the law and Ia lit
erature, fre-tried in the erucible of war, and
in the not less trying political situations Of
peace, cultivated by travel, familiar with the
governmental and political institutions Of
bis own and other countries, and withal de-
votedly attached to his native State and its
people, a filter presiding officer could hardly
have been chosen. We congratulate the
Convention on the selection. The Presi-
dents speech, on taking the chair, was in
admirable taste and spiIit. Taken as a text

la KadicaI cOunties

& Here we see that in ten cOnCtIes IN Fast
Tennessee the registrars appointed by Gov
Brownlow had registered up to March l,
1869, 3,503 more citizens as legal voters
than voted in the August election, after Gov
Senter's registrars had registered so many
men who were ineligible and youths who
were under twenty-ono years of age, as
charged by Mr. Horace Maynard and his
co-memorialists.
But the most cheeky" thing about this
memoriaIis the following appendix:
Some of the foregoing details 1 am nei
ther prepared TO endorse nor contradict.
But the main facts, that the election was
heid in open violation of the law and Con-
stitutioH of the State, do endorse, and
unite in asking Congress to protect the
loyal people of the State against the legisla
ton of the so-calied General Assembly of
the : tate W. @. BRowNLow.
We happen to know, says the Chatta-
noOga Daily Times, that this individual
was particular in his inquiries to several
persons in East Tennessee concerning the
character of the Commissioners of Registra-
ton in Several counties, and hinted that
if they would not register all who would
vote for Senter, they should be replaced by
others. which was done For him now to
20 back on his own work, strikes us as the

DUTIES SUPERVISOR.

There are very many officers of the
Federal Government whose duties the
people have never understood. One OF
these is Supervisor of Internal Revenue.
The Cincinnati Commercial, a staurch
Radical organ, gives US an insight into the
duties of this officer during the admins
tration of President johnson, but that
paper seems to be as much at loss as our
selves as to his duties under the Grant al
ministration. 1t says:
What are the duties of the Supervisor OF
Internal Revenue? While Andrew was
President we could understand it. The
Supervisor was appointed upon the recon-
mendation of the Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue-or rather, as it happened in
this part of the world, upon the recon-
mendation of Robert G. Schenck. His
duties were to watch Andrew JohnsOn's
friends, and to be, in all things, true and
loyal Republican, in good standing with
theparty. Latterly we havenot been able to
ascertain what the Supervisors were super
vising in revenue matters. Tom Young,
we believe, found his Supervisorship in
no manner difficult, in connection with
his Office of County Recorder. He be-
came a good judge of whisky, and got
along tolerably well until the impetuous
Bateman rushed like a revolutionist upon
the scene. But Tom resigned, and is
comfortable, and we have with US the
solemn Clarke. Now Clarke Isl picturesque
politician. He finds that his office is q
place of immense responsibilities, vast in
scope, and critical withal, but the practi-
cal duties cannot be distinguished.

and extravaganza which is now going on

The Infirmities of Ago.

Decrepitude is the natural accompaniment of
old age but it may be ameliorated, and the Period
Of entire helplessness long postponed by the ju-
dicious use of healthful stimulant Physicians
fully aware Of this fact, usually recommend mod
crate stimulation when the strength and vigor of
maturity have been suspended by the feebleness
and prostration which the inevitable results of
declining years. Port wine, gin, brandy and other
liquors are often prescribed by medical men for
aged persons, but the impulse which fermented
and distilled liquors give to the circulation, and the
energy they seem to impart, transitory, unless
the alcoholic principle is modified and qualified by
the presence of medicinal tonics and iuvigorants.
OF all the combinations of dilusiye stimuli with
the Juices of herbs roots and barks that have
been administered to the aged and infirm, with
the view of sustaining their waning strength,
cheering their dropping spirits and relieving the
aches and pains to which they are subjected, none
has been found so eficacious, so agreeable and so
permanent in its effects as HOstetter's Stomach
Bitters The difference between the effect of the
Bittars and that of a mere eXcitant however pure,
is the same as between the effect of sudden and
momentary application of excessive force to

continuous application of exactly the requisite
amount of force to the same end. The mere

gomery, Ala, and there is prospect that
this control of railroads win be further
extended into the cotton region Of Ala
bana. This step on the part of the
Georgia Central Railroad will divert to
Savannah a large amount of cotton
that has hitherto sought an out
let through Mobile But cot
ton is not the only article for the export
of which Savannah is contending with q
vigor which seems to presage success.
There is very heavy trade in lumber and
timber between Europe and the pine re-
gions of Georgia, and these articles pass
mainly over roads leading into Savannah
for shipment from that point Lumber
and timber form the main item Of freight
over the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad,
which extends from Savannah to Balm
bridge.
Brunswick occasionally looms up into
some importance as a shipping port. 1t
is pronounced one of the finest har-
bors in the world, but Savannah has
got so much the start of Bruins
wick that the latter can hardly be
considered rival The business men
and property-holders of Brunswick make
a good deal of noise over its manifest adj
vantages as > shipping point, and it is
quite probabla That in few years it will
become place of considerable impor7
lance. 1t. is worthy of mention that at
low tide there are thirteen feet of water
on the bar, ard that vessels fully loaded
have no difficulty in getting out of the
harbor, while vessels have to leave Sa-
vannah only partially loaded, and com
plete their csrgoes several miles below
the city. But with all the advantages of
the former, it is scarcely probable that it
will become formidable rival of the
latter.
To-day the excursionists disposed of
themselves as best they could. A portion
attended the various churches, while a
still larger portion awaited themselves of
the libera1ity of the city authorities, who
placed the public hacks and carriages at
their disposal, 10 visit the various points of
interest in and around the city. In the
afternoon there was dress parade of
the city police force at the Park, which
attracted large crowd, Sunday as it was,
and the proficiency exhibited by the police
elected the warmest commentator.
