Effects of Cottonseednseal on Butter
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The Agricultural
Department has been making az anslysi
Of butter from cows fed on cottonseed
meal, which produced uHlooked-for re-
suits. The analysis showed remarkable
points; First, low percentage of volatile
acids; second, a phenomsnally high melt
ing point; third, a strong persistence OF
the reducing agent. The arst point is
of Importance as showing that mixing
cottonseed with the feed of cows in the
South will tend to raise the melting point
OF butter, thus rendering it more suitable
for consumption in hot climates.
Prof. Wiley says: "From an analy,i-
cal point Of view the results are of great
importance, since they show that butter
derived from COW fed ON uottonseed
meal might be condemned as adulterated
when judged by the amount of volatile
acid present. Since cottonseed meal is
destined to be cattle food OF great i'm
portance, especially in the Southern part
OF the United States, this is fact of the
greatest interest to analysts and to deal.

~% The WASHINGTON correspondent O

a. The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Times says: "The white
Republicans Of the South have had a
great deal to say about the failure OF
Democrats to give the negro a show in
Southern politics, but now that Repub-
lican nadmiuistIation is in power some of
them are not so anxious to see colored
men in Office. The Postmaster Generals
daily appointments of from one hundred
and fifty to two hundred postmasters are
beginning to take in the Southern States,
and there a colored man is receiving a
postmasters commission. As a result
protests are beginning to come in from
white Repu blicans who fear that more
such appointments will be made. They
don't like to have their mail handed out
by colored man who draws a salary
from the government, and in some cases
they have taken the trouble to come on to
Washington in person to say so. One OF
these protestants is Col. Newcomb Clark,
Ex-Speaker of the Michigan House of
representatives, but now of Ocean
Springs, Miss. Col. Clark is good Re-
publican, but he lie here to head off, if he
can, the proposed appointment of negro
as postmaster at Ocean Springs. He is
not the only Southern Republican who
thinks that making colored man post
master is giving him just little more
show than is entirely agreeable or neces-
sary."
