somewhat like pea vine. 1t is said to
more closely resemble meat in its
chemical analysis than any other
product.
The value of food does not depend
on it's bulk. Chemists claim that a
pound of cottonseed meal is equal, in
nutrition, to three pounds of corn, or
seven and half pounds of bran. Ac-
eording to cost, therefore, it is much
cheaper than any kind of grain.

ground too wet and cold, thus causing
the seed to fail. If any seeds have
terminated, and the plants are well up,

yielding only one or two crops, due to

4, of red top, each of which is affected
by ergot as is shown by the black
growths where seeds ought to be. The
results of feeding hay affected by ergot
disease are frequently disastrous. The
skin of the animal becomes red and
itching in spots, the hair falls off and
repulsive sores appear. In cattle. hogs
and sheep, the sores more commonly
appear on the legs and feet. The
ankles swell, suppurate, the bones be-
come diseased, and finally the lower
joints drop off. This continues until
the animal is destroyed, affecting first
one, and then by degrees all the limbs.
1t is terrible disease, and has been
known in the old world for several CEN
turies.
OF the multitude of remedies tried,
only two have proved of any value: l..
Poultices of soap, rye-meal and salt to
the legs and feet. .. A wash of beef
brine, composed of saltpetre and COM
mon salt applied several times day,
and afterward washing and rubbing
the feet with bittersweet ointment.
After the disease is well advanced,
treatment is useless. When the first
signs of the disorder appear, make an
entire change of food. feeding that of
good quality, nutritious and free from

keep animals warm and give plenty OF
water. Ergotism will probably not ap-
pear if the hay is cut before the seeds
formed. Green cut hay is easily di.

A CLEVER CONFEDERATE.
The Ingenious Ruse by which He Secured
Horse.


The confederate cavalryman was
often puzzled as to how to provide him
self with horse. The authorities gave
him the choice to keep mounted or go
into the ranks with his muslset, as
horses were not furnished by the gov
ernment To be dismounted and be-
come foot soldier was worse to him
than court-martial, and he would
risk much in his efforts to get horse
from the enemy.
In the fall of 1858 confederate caval-
ryman had his horse killed in sliirmish
near Warrenton, and as his best chance
was then to capture one from the enemy
he put his wits to work to devise the
ways and means. He was with the
outside pickets, and not far off, on the
pike, were the cavalry pickets of the
enemy. He procured piece of tele-
graph wire from the railroad, and when
twilight came on stretched this across
the road, fastening one end to the
fence and the other end to a convenient
| tree just high enough to catch a caval-
| ryman about the belt. When matters
were thus arranged to his liking, he
started down the pike and stopped in
plain view of the enemy.
| 1t was not long before three of them
gave chase mounted on good horses. 1t
was now too dark for them to see the
wires, and on they came, determined
to have prisoner. The chase was
sharp, and quickly over, SO that by the
time the rebel schemer had passed
through, and under his trap, the enemy
was upon him.
The sequel is not hard to guess Two
of the pursuers were quickly unhorsed,
the third being SO much atonished and
frightened at their fate as to turn and
beat a hasty retreat The two horses,
without their riders, continued down
the road, and were easily captured by
the confederate, who, by his clever
ruse, became their owner, and kept his
place in the cavalry.
The two pickets left to themselves
hurriedly made their way back to theii
comrades as crestfallen and astonished
as two men could well be. The hero OF
this incident tells the tale himself, and
adds that he rode one of these horses
to AppomattoX. and from there to hit
home, and that it was one of the best
he ever owned.-Washingt Post.

Tho Terrible Disease Produced by Fungus
Popular Remedies.
Ergot affecting forage crops such as
wild rye, red top, timothy, etc, causing
great distress at times among farm
animals, begins by the termination of
spores of fungus, which have been
carried by wind, or other means, to the
flowers of grasses favorable to their de-
velopment. These spores germinate in
contact with the outer surface of the
newly>forming seeds, penetrate and in
the end displace them, preserving the
original form, and later bearing spores
which perform the Office of seeds, and
falling TO the ground, or upon flowers
again germinate and produce the fun
gus. Therefore, ergot is not dis
eased seed, but is entirely n fungus
growth. developing below the young
seed and preventing its formation. 1t
is the dormant form of the fungus,
which remaining in this condition until
| autumn, or more usually until spring,
| terminates in the damp ground and
sends up a growth which produces
spores that fall on flowers OF the
grasses and thus completes the cycle.
The fungus has different appearance
on different grasses, but the results from
animals eating it are the same. In the
illustration, 1 is head of orchard

twenty-eight years ago"

pany," came the unexpected reply
1.-The fact is we were frightened by the
movements of the enemy. He was
playing Dixie and the Bonnie Blue
flag so near to us that we could dis
tinctly hear him, when suddenly there
was an alarm, and every man in my
regiment shot off his gun. That ere
nted terrible racket, and I-who had
never been under fre-supposed that
we were attacked by the whole con.
federate army In the midst of my
confusion / heard the voice of the col.
onel of my regiment shouting. Cease
firing, men! Then, finally, when the
firing had ceased, discovered that one
roor fellow was dead. He had been
shot through the back by rear-ranls
man, and the duty devolved on me of
writing to his family and giving the
particulars of his death"
"And did you do it truthfully?"
"No," promptly responded the veteran.

no particulars. 1t was better so."-.

MILLS CHOSEN SENATOR.
He Was Elected Almost Unanim ously
by the Texas Legislature.

Roger @. Mills has been elected United
States Senator by the Texas Legislature in
Austin, to succeed Reagan. He received
twenty-nine votes in the Senate and ninety.
three in the House, there being twelve scat
tering complimentary votes for other
prominent Texans
The last ballot resulted as follows: In the
Senate-For R. Q. Mills, 81; Wash Jones,
l; J. D. Sayres, l.
In the House-For R. @. Mills, 90; Horace
Chiffon, 3; r. B. Culberson, 1; Barrett
Gibbs, 2: J. H. Bailey, g.
There was a good deal of speaking in
making and seconding the nomination of Mr..
Mills Both houses then adjourned. Senator
Chiffon had previously addressed a note to
a caucus of his friends, announcing his
withdrawal from the race, thus leaving the
field clear for Mills. Mr.. Chiffon assigned
as his only reason for withdrawing that be
found the total vote of his friends in the
Legislature insufficient to elect him, aud he
did not wish to embarrass them who would
stand by him.
The announcement in the House at Wash
ington that Roger Q. Mills was the choice of
the Texas Legislature to succeed Mr.. Reagan
in the Senate of the United States was the
signal for an enthusiastic outOurst of ap,
plause, which was exceedingly gratifying to
Mr.. Mills, who occupied a seat IN the outer
most
