ton-seed hulls and cotton-seed meal
alone.
Seven years ago Mr.. A. j. Wick,
Texan. turned some cattle into lot
for the night. On the ground were
some cotton-seed hulls, thrown there
to fertilize the land, as they were
thought to be fit for nothing else. The
cattle ate the halls and seemed to en-
joy them. They were given more,
mixed with cotton-seed meal, and they
waxed fat. In few months they were
sold for 6 cents on foot, and Mr.. Wick,
who had bought them poor, made q
profit OF SlS head.
He has been feeding cattle on cotton
seed meal and hulls ever since, and has
been making money every year. LAST
year the firm of A. j. Wick & Co., in
Guiding the two divers and Mr.. Tomp-
kins, of the Southern Cotton Oil Com
pany, fed at Houston, New Orleans,
Memphis and Little Rock $500 cattle
and made about $4,000 profit.
Cotton seed meal and hulls are orr
dinarily supposed to be better for fer
tilizers than for any other purpose;
but by feeding them to cattle the fer
tilizing qualities are not dimished, and
the steer puts on $50 to 200 pounds Of
flesh during the operation.
Mr.. Oliver remarked that from the
1,400 cattle he had sold 80 twenty-ton
carloads of fertilizer at 81. % a ton-a
small matter of $1,000, which doubt
less paid all the expense of labor in
handling and feeding. Mr.. Wick said
that he had been giving away the fer
tilizer of 1000 cattle at Little Rock.
but would sell it next year, and the
party who had been hauling it away
wanted to pay 1000 for it next year
and haul it himself.
A good many farmers. heretofore,
have been using cotton-seed meal and
hulls as fertilizers, but the additional
profit gotten by feeding them first is a
new thing. The farmer is in better
position to realize it than any one else,
because he can realize the full value
of the fertilizer while this cattle firm
has to sell it for little or nothing, or
give it away, to get it out of the way.
The relation OF the new cattle-feed-
ing system to the dressed beef industry
is interesting.
They are naturally and almost in.
evitably competitors. Dressed beef
has been unusually low this year, and
has about driven out the demand for
local beef. There were some who said
that they would do this and put up
prices when the local cattle interest
had died out.
BY the new system Mr.. Oliver say.
he can compete with the Western beef.
and furnish as good an article. They
fattened l,400 cattle this past winter
and have sold off about 800 Some OF
them were sold to Mr.. Tye, and some
shipped to Savannah and other parts
of the State.
Mr.. Oliver says the meat is the ideal
pale pink or "white meat" that the
butchers clamor for, aud the flesh is
tender and juicy.
There is no telling what will come
out of the cotton plant. Edward At
kinson said that il the New England
people had it they would get rich out
OF the stalk and the seed il they had to
throw away the lint. We seem just
beginning to learn the value OF the
crop. Atlanta Constitution.

HERE AND THERE.

Nov is a good time to pillow up a
patch of ground for fall turnips and
rutabagas. and if it is intended to SOW
even small patch it will pay to do
this much now.
In setting out trees of all kinds it
should be kept in mind that they will
grow; and allowance should be made
for the room they will occupy ss they
get bigger.
When the Strawberries are done
bearing it will be found a good plan to
remove the mulch and give as thor
ough cultivation as possible; il plants
are not wanted keep down the runners.
When the earlier crops have ma
tured, remove and plant something
else in their place. Keep the soil oc-
cupied all duitng the growing season.
This plan wilb prove of material aid in
keeping down the weeds.
Trim back the wood OF unprofita-
BILE pear trees, and apply good dress
ing Of wood ashes, taking pains to
work well into the SOIL and then give
the trunk good washing with soap
suds.
1t would undoubtedly help materi-
ally in keeping down insect pests OF all
kinds in the garden, the orchard and
grain crops If more concerted effort
could be made against them in each
neighborhood.
So far as possible no fruit should
be allowed to go to waste. What is not
used or can not be marketed to advan
tages hould be dried, evaporated. canned
or put up in such a shape that it can
be kept for use during the winter
When there is good crop and
prices are low does not always in
dictate that no profit is realized, for
with fair crop fruits Of nearly all
kinds can be raised for market at a
very small cost, and can be sold cheap
and yet be profitable.
Fall pigs, if given the run of a
good clover field and then fed all the
corn they will eat, will fatten very
rapidly, and it will in many cases be
better to fatten and market now than
TO feed all summer and then fatten in
the fall.
If the pigs are allowed the run oil
the pastures it will be found good
plan to provide covered trough with
salt and ashes arranged so that they
can help themselves to what they want
A little copperas will add to the value
as a health preserver.
Properly managed good brood
sow can be made one OF the most
profitable animals on the farm, says a
contemporary. Two good filters Of
pigs can easily be secured, and with
good feed and care some increase a
least can be secured in a short time.

Entitled to Vote.

The general argument for letting wo-
men vote, says A. S. Blackwell, in
Woman's Journal. is the same as
the argument for having re-
publican form OF government rather
than monarchy 1t is fair and right
that those who are to obey the laws
should have voice in making them.
and that those who pay taxes should
have voice as to the amount OF the
tax and the way in which it shall be
spent The fundamental principle of a
republican government, roughly stated,
is this: In deciding what shall be done,
where everybody's interests are con-
cerned, we take everybody's opinion.
and 60 according to the wish of the
majority. As we can not suit every
body, we do what will suit the greatest
number. That seems to be, upon the
whole, the fairest way. A vote is
merely written expression Of opinion.
1t is written down and put into a box,
so that it can be counted.
In thus taking the sense of the CON-
munity, certain classes Of persons are
always passed over, whose opinions, for
one reason or another are not thought
worth counting. The laws OF different
States differ, but all agree in excluding
minors. idiots. lunatics, felons and wo-
mon There are uood and OhviOus
reasons for all these exceptions but the
last. 1t is evident that the opinions of
children ought not to be counted, nor
those of idiots, lunatics and criminals.
Is there any equally good reason why,
in reckoning up the opinions Of the
community, no account should be taken
OF the opinions OF women If not, they
ought to be allowed to vote.

THE HIGHER LAW.
Justice In the acknowledgements Views
Of an Important Subject.

u IN important SuDJeDts
Happy the wife who has husband
who appreciates the part she has in
making the home-the part he can not
perform and for which money can not
pay. Yet many good and otherwise
sensible women do not feel free to use
the family funds as they do the smaller
sums they are able to earn themselves,
even when the husbands are ready to
acknowledge their equal right in the
family purse. 1t may be partly the
fault of the wife. II she allows herself
to ask as favor what is already her
own, she places herself in wrong posi-
ton. Her husband does her no favor
in permitting her to buy their children's
clothes Or her own. Yet often one
would suppose so from the grudging
manner in which he will ask il some
small sum will not be enough. There
are honorable exceptions of
them-and one good man has often been
heard to refer to his immense indebted
ness to the wife who has worked for
her bread and clothes so many years,
when, had her services been paid for
as housekeeper, cook, dressmaker,
tailor and maid-of-all- she would
now be in comparative wealth. Mutual
love and common interest make every
privation endurable; and there should
be no thought OF ''mine" and thine"
on either side. Then II proper provi-
sion is made for the wife in case she be
left alone, she will not have to reflect.
as many Borrowing widow has done,
on the injustice that deprives her Of
entire control of the home she has had
an equal or harder share in earning
and making comfortable. So long as
the law does not do justly to women,
every man should provide for his own
wife. Rural New Yorker.

Early Americans.

Simplicity in their mode Of living was the
marked characteristic Of the early settlers
of America.
Every thing which pertained to them was
plain aud transformations.
The food which they ate was frugally
served and Of the substantial kind.
Their clothing was home-spun and the
moccasins which covered their feet were a
home product, being made from the hide OF
animals and ornamented with beads after
the Indian fashion.
Their homes were simplicity itself, con,
sisting Of roughly hewn logs and home made
shingles-the whole constituting the old
Log-Cabin home of frontier life.
Yet those were model homes.
The wives and mothers were well versed
in tho art of all that pertained to house
wifery.
Conspicuous in the early home was the
striking figure of the old grandmother.
Not only was she the adviser in social ar
fairs but she was the medical adviser and
prescriber for the sick Often were her
hands engaged in the preparation of some
healing potion or remedy for the relief OF
those in ill-health. Fully versed in all the
store-house of Nature, she wisely knew how
to utilize the curative properties contained
in certain roots and herbs ard accordingly
she transformed them into certain remedial
agents, which have made the old Log Cabin
famous for all time to come.
Conscious of the great value of some oil
those old time home cures q successful eff
fort has been made to re-discover the los
secret of their preparation, and, coupled
with all the improvement which human in
genuity and progress suggests, they are
now widely known under the name Of War
ners Log Cabin Remedies the most promi
nent being Log Cabin sarsaparilla and Log
Cabin cough and consumption cure.
The suffering public has been quick tc
recognize and appreciate their true value
and the manufacturers are daily in receipt
Of much praise for the re-discovery and re
vival OF these old time remedies against
sickness and disease.
To the old Log Cabin home, however, Is
justly due the praise for all the good which
may, thereby, be effected.

ITEMS FOR WOMEN.

THE Women's Anthropological So
ciety Of America the first purely scien-
tifc society directed exclusively by
women, was organized in Washington
in June, 1885, and has since held fort
nightly meetings from November to
May. 1t now has three honorary,
eleven corresponding and forty-six
active members.
CALIFORNIA has abolished the exclu-
sion of women from voting for school
trustees. California has 1853. 800 square
miles and 1850. 900 people Official esti-
mate). The "woman suffrage belt is
enlarged to 2,7SS. 900 square miles, and
now includes the whole Pacific coast
from Mexico to Alaska. Twenty-Five
out OF forty-five States and Territories
have now enacted some form of woman
suffrage.
In Sioux County N. j., the other
day, certain local politicians tried by
sharp practice to prevent the election
of n woman as school trustee. the clerk
whose duty it was to cali the meeting
staying away. Miss Rose Morrow, one
of the candidates present, said the cleo
ton should be held, and called the
meeting herself. At this the farmers
we're so well pleased that they elected
her school trustee and district clerk be-
sides.
IT Is estimated that there are $500
women in the United States who hold
diplomas from medical colleges. either

THE GREEK ACTORS.
How They Dressed and How They Were
Paid in Old Athens.

now lney dressed ana How They were
Paid in Old Athens.
1t was customary to increase the
stature Of the actors by the use OF
cothurnus or buskin--a kind Of high
boot, ornamented in front, and having
a layer of sole some three inches thick.
The cothurnus was painted the same
color as the robe worn. In addition
to this, masks covering the whole head
and face were used. On the top, over
the forehead. was lofty frontlet OF
conical form, which must have added
considerably to the stature and dignity
of the actor; inside the mask there
seems to have been some continuance
for strengthening the power of the
voice to enable it to fill the immense
space oil the auditorium. Bell-shaped
vessels of bronze are said to have been
placed in various parts of the theater
to reflect the sound, and the actors
were subjected to a severe course Of
training both as to power and modu-
lation OF voice. Many of the actors
were men OF position and in
fiuence in Attic society, and
more than one had been intrusted
with diplomatic and other missions.
Sometimes the poet himself played in
his own compositions, as Aeschylus is
said to have done. 1t may interest
some Of the craft of the present day to
learn that as much as a talent (nearly
250 pounds) has been paid to an actor
of note for two performances. There
were only three performers in speak
ing parts, the others were silent; in
deed, they could not have spoken had
they tried. for their masks had the
orifice of the mouth closed, while
