4 Historic Bale of Cotton.

The Memphis bale of cotton which
received the grand testimonial prize
as the best bale Of cotton at the Paris
exhibition, has had somewhat re-
markable history. At an exhibition
in Memphis it received the grand
prize Of 81, 900, another first prize at
the centennial, a third at Liverpool,
still, another at national fair on the
continent of Europe, and now this
award at Paris. The value attached
to It by. Its owner has been so great
that in transportation abroad it has
been in charge of a special messenger.
It was finally bought by the largest
spinner of lace goods in Paris 20 be
Kept as E souvenir. At the Philadel>
phia exhibition the FIJI islanders car
ried away the prize for long staple cot
ton, but at Paris this year they grace>
fully yielded to Memphis.

Turnlps for Milk.

At recent public meeting In Con-
nectcut Nathan Hart advocated the use
of the common turnip as food for a
milk diary. ga few winters since /
was feeding common turnips, and when
the supply was exhausted l had the
curiosity to estimate the value of turnips
per bushel for feeding purposes from the
returns that actually received from the
milk. We were then getting six cents
per quart for our milk. The diminished
flow of milk resulting from discontinue
ing this feed of turnips enabled me to
calculate that the turnips were worth
twenty-five cents a bushel to feed to
cows. refer TO the common fiat or
field turnip. But as to their saving hay
/ do not think they do. l think they
act as an Alternative and their use will
cause the COW to more perfectly digest
her food. 1t seems to be adapted to the
wants of the COW and produces good
digestion. feed just before milking"
In another portion of his discourse Mr..
Hart tells us that when feeding turnips
they are fed just before milkingat night,
and the last feed of the day is given
Immediately after. He did not find
them to impart any deleterious or un-
pleasant odor or taste to the milk, but
thought it important to commence feed
ing them gradually and slowly, increas-
ing the amount to the full feed; he
thought it important to feed them just
before milking.
