Jmsortant or Cotton eeti Meal

At the Cottonseed Crusher's Conven-
ii on, held recently at Cincinnati, some
important facts were elected in regard to
the use of the meal prodnct as IL fertilizer
and food for stock. According to the Com
mercial Bulletins report, Mr.. Hamilton,
of Shreveport, La, said that he found cot
tonseed meal scarcely inferior to guano as
a fertilizer, and invaluable as food for
cattle. In exchanging meal for seed, one
ton of the former was given for two and
quarter tons of the latter. Another men,
her had demonstrated by actual expert
ment on farm in Cnnneticut, that the
meal is the best fertilizer over use on to-
bacco lands tripling their productive Ca
laCity in three years, and is superior to
any other cattle food. Again Mr.. Bar
ber, of Selma, claimed to have largely in
creased by the use ofcottonseed meal the
production of cotton on poor lands. In
fact, there was unanimous testimony to
the value of cottonseed meal and cake
not only for feeding cattle but as a fertil-
izer. In quality of good feed stuff it is
now being used III Great Britain, Sweden,
Norway and to some extent in Russia

Correct Speaking.

We should advise all young people tc
acqu re in early life, the habit OF correct
speaking and writing; and to abandpn,a
tar.a possible, any use of slang words
and phrases. The longer you live the
more difficult correct languag" will be;
and if the golden age of yout.., the prop.
er season for acquisition of language, be
passed in its abuse, the unfortunate vic.
Jim, if neglected, is very properly doom
ed to talk slang for life Money is not
necessary to procure this education. Every
man has it in his power, He has merely
to use the language which he reads, in
stead OF the slang which he hears; to form
has taste from the best speakers and poets
Ia the country; to treasure up choice
phrases in his memory, and habituate
himself to their use, avoiding at the same
timc that pedantic decision and bombast
which shows the weakness of vain am
''ition rather than the polish ofan educa-
Ied man.

Election of School Trustees.

Patrons of Public Schools are reminded
that the first Saturday in December is
the time fixed by law for the election OF
Trustees. Failure on the part of patrons
to act in this matter will render it neces'
sary for the County Superintendent OF
Education to appoint said trustees. AS
this is very important, it is urged that
you fail not, and be certain to elect your
best citizens as trustees, as q great deal
depends upon the success of our Public
School system, upon your choice of trus-
tees. Select without reference to politi-
cal or religious creed, as that feeling
must not control in our Public Schools.
Respectfully, JOHN J. GAGE,
Co. Supt. of Education
