Butternut Wood for Indoor Work.

"LOok here" said one of the best
known lumber dealers to the editor of
the st. Louis Lumberman. "Why
don't you say a good word for butter
nut, which, of all the woods suitable
for finishing purposes, is the most ne
elected right here in St. LOUISE 1t
has a splendid grain, is easily worked,
and ought to increase in popularity.
When my own house was built, | used
cherry in the parlOrs and quartered
oak in the dining DOM. Wishing to
have a variety, 1 had the upper story
rooms finished in butternut, and now
many of my friends want TO know
why didn't use it all over the house.
Understand, l do not urge its use with
the expectation of making a sale, for
we haven't a foot of it in the yards.
Our principal supply in this market
comes from Wisconsin. 1t is growing
scarce, and the only thing | have
against butternut is that there is not
enough of it."

The Blind Spinner.

Ill a bIind spinner in the sun,
thread my days;
know that all the threads will run
Appointed ways;
1 know each day will bring its task;
And. being blind, no more / ask.
/ do not know the use OF name
OF that spin
/ only know that some one came
And laid within
Nv hand the thread, and said Since you
Are blind, but one thing you can do"
Sometimes the threads so rough and fast
And tangled fly
know wild storms are sweeping past
And fear hat 1
Shall fall. but dare not try to find
A safer place, since I am blind.
I know not why. but l am sure
That tint and place.
In some great fabric to endure
Past time and race,
Nv threads will have; 50 from the first,
Though blind / never felt accurst.
think, perhaps, this trust has sprung
From one short word
Said over me when i was young
So young / heard
IT, knowing not that Gods name signed
Ny brow and sealed me his, though blind.
But whether this be seal or sign
Within. without,
1t matters not. The bond divine
never doubt,
/ know he set me here, and still,
And glad, and blind, l aait his will;
But listen, listen, day by day,
To hear their tread
Who bear the finished web away
And cut the thread.
And bring Gods message in the sun,
'.Thou poor blind spinner. work is done"

Cotton Seed Meal.

We desire to call your attention to the fact that
Cotton Seed Meal is selling much below it's intrin-
sic value as feed, and much below the selling price
of former years.
1t is considered by experienced feeders by far
the cheapest cattle food in the market considering
its MILK, BUTTE and FLESH
and MANURIAL VALUE.
Cotton Seed Oil Meal has been used many yea rs,
and the fact fully established that it largely in
creases the flow of milk, makes richer milk, and
produces more and better butter.
The richness of the manure dropped by cattle
and sheep fed on Cotton Seed Meal so far excels
manure from other kinds of food as to return to
the farmer a large share of his outlay for the meal:
An approved method of feeding Cotton Seed
Meal is two quarts Cotton Seed Meal, two quarts
corn meal and four quarts of bran per day. This
ration should be well mixed; and this quantity is
for cows or cattle weighing about loo pounds.
Young or lighter weight animals should not be fed
so much. Feed sheep about one-half pint daily.
Lambs about one gill daily, mixed with other food.
