Cottonsced HulIs for stock.

Cottonseed hulls promise to become
a leading competitor of wheat as a
food for stock. If the price OF corn
advances much more, as it probably
will in consequence of the Shortage OF
this years crop, farmers that have corn
will probably sell it and feed their
stock on cheaper food.
The government bureau of animal
industry has recently shown the value
of wheat for fattening stock, and has
recommended its use where corn sells
anywhere near the price of wheat.
Another new food for stock, and one
which is said to be cheaper than corn
at present prices. is cottonseed meal.
This mixture is being fed with good
results to cattle in the south, and it has
lately been introduced into the stock
raising districts of the northern states,
particularly New York. EfH
Cottonseed hulls are baled like hay
and sell at from four to five dollars per
ton in southern markets. st Louis

One of these things in which farmers
show their lack of thought is the man
ner in which they permit themselves
to be swindled by dishonest persons,
who seem to choose them for their
easiest prey. just now ths cotton
growers are being cheated with lint
less cotton, as it is called; that is, va
riety that produces seed free from the
fibrous attachments to it of the So
called lint. This new variety, as it is
said, is fer more profitable for the
bare seed than other kinds
are for the lint and seed,
too. But little thought will
teach those concerned that the lint OF
the cotton plant and the seed are es-
sential to each other, because the lint
is attached to the seeds by the very
nature of the plant, and that a kind OF
cotton without lint must be barren OF
seed, as well as of its fbrous attach.
ment. The cotton grower kills two
birds with one stone, as it were, when
he produces the ordinary cotton, get
ting the seed and the lint both, and, as
two are better than one, the lintless
cotton must be of less value than the
common kind, and even worthless, al
compared with it.-N. Y. Times.

matured age, judged by chemical

ing value may possess less worth than

matured age, judged by chemical
analysis, but in actual practical feed
ing value may possess less worth than
a more immature crop, since the young
er and more tender and less woody
plant is much more digestible and
more palatable. As q rule the very
young grass is richer in nitrogen (al-
buminoid properties than the fully
matured grass, and hence better feed
for most kinds of stock, notably milch
cows and young stock of all classes.
But, OF course, when grass is moved
early it is not so heavy and the guam
tity of forage not so great as in the
other ease. But quality is better than
quantity in this case. N
Rich, fertile pasture lands no doubt
produce grass of higher nutritive quail
ity than poor soils. And yet in the
extreme south it has been almost the
universal practice among stockmen and
farmers to devote the poorest portions
of their farms to pasture and to culti-
vate the richest. While they are of
course fully cognizant of the. fact that
rich land will produce greater yield
of forage, yet they have not. ss rule,
been imbuee with the knowledge that
the richer the soil the richer the feed
stuff.
1t is then not always best to pasture
only poor land and cultivate only the
richest portions. Would it not be bet
ter to devote some of the richer lands
to grass and cultivate some of the
poorer, using green crops to turn UNI
der to fertilize the latter in connec-
| tion with stable manure and limited
use of commercial fertilizers, thus
bringing up year by year Its produc-
tive capacity? BY proper management,
in very few years the poorer portions
of the farm can be made rich enough
to give good and nutritive grass, Ed

OLD TIME DISHES.

Some Famous Recipes From New England
Kitchens and Their Cooks.
To prepare Rhode Island baked beans
put one quart of beans to soak in cold
water over night. In the morning
pour off the water and cover with fresh
cold water; put on the fire and let them
come to the boil slowly, then simmer
until quite soft, but not broken. Then
pour off the water and put them into
baking dish with boiling water enough
to n,oisten. Add pinch of dry mus
tard, some salt and two tablespoons of
molasses. Take about half a pound of
fat salt pork, boiled and scored, and
put in the middle of the dish. Set in
the oven, covered, and let them cook
slowly all day. About two hours be-
fore night uncover and brown.
For sponge cake or diet bread take
twelve eggs and the weight of the
eggs in sugar and half the weight in
flour; one lemon, juice and rind. Beat
the yollSs and whites very light: beat
the sugar into the yollks. Next add the
juice and grated peel of lemon, then
the -four; lastly the beaten whites
put in these very lightly. Have tins
with perpendicular sides, lined with
buttered paper, and a steady fire. The
cake should be eaten the day it is
made.
For 'sbrown pudding" use three cups
of flour. one cup of milk, one cup OF
molasses, one cup snet, chopped fine,
two cups of raisins, one teaspoonful OF
powdered mace and cinnamon, and two
of powdered cloves and salt, one tea
spoonful of soda dissolved in q little OF
the milk. After mixing pour into q
tightly covered and well-buttered tin
mold. Tie this in a strong towel ant

Citron and currants may be added. A

The report further stated that bran

What Is becoming to one face is rarely so to another and hence the variety.
 The cooler weather brings forth hun dreds of dainty and pretty capes that are really little more than collarettes, but they serve to protect the upper part of the chest and throat The prettiest one that I have seen so far was made of black velvet, point ed front and back and edged with narrow beading which headed 10 inch fall of black lace. There was handsome knot of black grosgrain ribbon on the shout. der and another in front at the neck, with long ends The medici collar was slashed and edged with the beading, and inside of it there was wide frill of double dotted net, which gave softness to the face. It was thought that lower collars would reign this season, but the high ones have proved too becoming to be abandoned I notice that the fur collars also are as high as ever. Those who have pretty necks will and may, fashion says, wear low collars, some dresses having nothing around the neck but frill of lace which falls flat I noticed also a very handsome black gros grain dress where the neck was cut slight ly V shaped, the edges being bordered with jet trimming.

 The silk waists gain in popularity, and they vary but little from those seen this summer only the sleeves are fuller, and the gathers across the bust are deeper Some of them have ruffics made of the same material or some other, standing up at the shoulder, where they appear to have been taken in with the sleeve seam. Some of them are made of figured silk with vel vet collar, belt and sometimes small jockey, the velvet matching the darkest color in the goods, but not the shade, for the velvet should be the darkest shade in the color New silks have been woven es pecially designed for these waists, so that 1t is fair suppositon that they will have at least one more season of usefulness and be worn long after the snow covers the ground.
