CoTToNSEED MEAL.

This is the most concentrated feed we have; in other words. the proportion of digestible protein (albuminoid or flesh and muscle-formers) to digestible heat forming or non-nitrogenous matter, is the highest. It contains more protein and fat or oil than any other feed, and less of the non-nitrogenous matters, such as gum, sugar aEd starch. Hence it is par ticularly suited to make up deficiencies of starchy food like corn meal, middlings and fine feed; that is. to "balance the ration." Largely on account of it's con- centrated form, it is particularly liable to misuse through carelessness, and is sure to prove injurious when fed too freely. It is dangerous feed to use with calves. But rightly used, it is safe concentrated food for COWS. having a tendency to make their butter firmer in texture than it would be without it. Its concentration varies somewhat with the thoroughness of the hulling, aud also with the quantity of oil expressed (for all the meal is pressed to extract part of the oil before it is put on the market).
 In some observations made at the Mas sachusetts station, it appeared that cot tonseed meal fed with hay gave higher yield of milk than an equal quantity of gluten meal or linseed meal; but if fed with corn stover, or hay and ensilage, gluten meal compared we'll with cotton seed meal. The Pennsylvania station compared cottonseed meal with wheat bran, pound for pound, with the result that the milk yield was increased one fifth, and the butter yield quite material ly on cottonseed meal.-[ Exchange.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

"We are to abstain from doing things which might do harm to others.'
 The Young Mems Christian Associ- ation offers opportunity to young men for the sowing of good seed. A defi- nite work to the end that young men may be built up, socially, intellectually and physically, as we'll as spiritually. What young man is there among us who does not owe it to his fellow young men to plant in these fields; the yield will be to our own, and the good of the many who will come after us.
 There are many other organizations which offer opportunity for work, and young men cannot afford to withhold the help which they can render in the on- ward movements which have for their aim the betterment of our race. There is no need of sowing defective seed, no need for sowing in poor soil.
 ssPrayer is the application of want to Him who only can relieve it, the voice of sin to Him who alone can pardon it. It is the urgency of poverty, the pros- tration of humility, the fervency of peni- tence. the confidence of trust. It is not eloquence, but earnestness; not the definition of happiness, but the feeling of it: not the figures of speech. but compunction of soul. It is the.

DANBURY.
BEAVER BROOK,

Once more the reunion of the Wild man family is thing of the past, but not without impressing upon the writer that the gathering at the residence of Samuel Sherman of Beaver Brook on July 4, will long be remembered by all those present. Among the friends, who numbered l04, were from New Haven, Bridgeport, Newtown, New Fairfield and so on. One of these friends will all ways be remembered on account of his sprightliness and smartness for a man of his age, which is 91 years. That old man is James Watson of Newtown. The order of the day consisted of singing, dancing and eating, the latter being in- dulged in more than either of the former. But just right here stop moment and glance over the tables, containing every conceivable thing that the inner man could wish for, from a Rhode Island clam to the famous Danbury baked beans, with all necessary drinkables to keep the cob webs from congregating in ones throat. The day was greatly enjoyed by all, as everything was so nicely arranged un- der cover that the shower did not mar the pleasure In the least. As for enter tainers, Mir Sherman's family have no su- perior, and when Ira Wildman and fami- ly, with their large Foster & Besse um- Orella, nove Tn slgnt, we Knew that the Fourth of July was here. And we would advise the readers of this paper who wish to enjoy first class Rhode Island clam bake to give Bert Wildman of Newtown call, as he Is a caterer of A l reputation. If, by employing MT Wildman with his assistant, J. H. Seeley of Bridgeport, there should be shower arise while the clans were in the pro- cess of cooking, with the aid of that noted umbrella the shower would not have any effect. Then perhaps you might coax MT Seeley to favor you with some of his vocal selections, which are very pleasing. At the close of the day it was voted to hold the next annual, July 4, 1895, with Russell Hatch of New Fairfield.

and the hands, and the eyes and all the other members of the body to join in the strike against the stomach as against a common enemy. But the heart and the brain said, ''we are not in it." Every one acknowledged that the mouth was very exalted in it's functions; very con- spicuous in It's place; and very impor- tant, not only to the stomach but to the whole body. Surely, no one could get along in this world without the uses of the mouth; but how could any one of them get along without the stomach, or indeed without each other?
 Where could the mouth bestow it's la bor, but for the stomach? How could the heart get its blood for them all, but through the office work of the stomach Indeed, where would the hands or the heart, or the brain or the jaws even get the strength to labor with, but for that greedy distended thing, that most abused factor of life, the stomach? So the heart and the brain said to the mouth, "Shut up.' And when the ton que ceased to chatter, and the jaws be- gun to work, the stomach resumed it's business of nourishing the whole body, and all the members were happy again for the strike was declared off.-[O.

A DRIVE BY THE HoUsAToNIC.

& DRIVE BY THE HOUSATONIC.
 For pleasant drive of about b miles, there are few that can surpass the trip to Southville and down the Housatonic river, returning through Sandy Hook. This drive has it's advantages in more ways than one. It is drive where there are comparatively few hills to en- counter, the only hilly portions being be- tween Newtown and Southville and the climb up from Sandy Hook, when return ing. There is a great variety of scenery on this drive, winding as it does by the babbling brook, along the hillside and beside the still flowing river. There are two good ways of reaching Southville, one by way of Hanover, which is pleas ant, but not as attractive as the road rum nIng to Hawleyville, aad following up the Shepaug railroad until it joins the road first mentioned above Hanover. This drive is delightfully."- shaded, the trees shutting in the roadway on either side, and it is not necessary to get out of the carriage for a nose gay of wild flow CTS, for they grow tall and spindling by the way side as if inviting the passer by to pluck them.
 Southville is quiet little place, just across Babbitt's bridge, and should you chance to be passing through some week. day evening you would see typical country store, with the men of the place gathered on it's porch discussing the events of the day. AS the drive winds down the river road there is scarcely" a moment that there is not some new scene 10 engage attention, running close to the river as it does all of the six miles be- tween Babbtt's Bridge and the bridge at Sandy Hook. This is delightful drive and our summer guests will search long way before finding it's superior.

 People living near the river have been sadly annoyed by the depredations of minks, who it seems must have been on a wholesale foraging expedition of late. L. Acker suffered the loss of his entire lot of between 70 and 80 fine Plymouth Rock chicks in one night, and has since lost some of his old fowls. Some of his neighbors also lost quite number.
 The Wilson Brothers have cut the grass on land of A. c. Acker in Stratfield.
 The long continued dry weather is be- ginning to tell on all growing crops, and has had tendency to shorten the rasp- berry crop quite considerable.

FRIENDS OF THE HORSE.

The Humane society, represented by Messrs Thrall, Middlebrook, Toucey, and Dickinson, with Justice Nobbs and Officer Hine of Bridgeport, arrested a Newtown young man for abusive use of horse. He was convicted in four counts resulting in a sentence of $7 and costs and 30 days confinement, from which an appeal was taken. John Porter was bondsman for him. There seems to be many opinions as to what abuse is as re- gards dumb animal and so long as the animal remains dumb this unfortunate condition will remain, without doubt, and the animal continue to suffer, gen. erally at the hands of those who, with out cause, are continually complaining against the rest of humanity, trying to prove that every honorable person is their enemy. To own and be obliged to keep and use $5 horse as they average, would of itself seem hard punishment, and the man who makes it business to deal in this class of animals can never expect to hope for the respect of decent people. Yet how many men CD there are who, for the paltry $5 will let their old faithful horse go into this awful bondage, where, for the sake of making trade, the old horse must act like a colt, show the seed of a race horse, and by the aid of an over draw check, the style of hackney.

DELSARTE.

Much is heard in these days about physical culture. Gymnasiums are spring ing up all over the land. In some in- stitutions of learning athletic proficiency seems to attract more attention than mental.
 There is, however, one system of phys ical culture which does not include aero patio and circus feats in it's curriculum. It does not require gymnasium or ap- paratus of any kind, for muscular strength, though one of the incidental results, is not it's end and aim.
 The Delsarte system of physical cul- ture aims for perfectly healthy condi- tion of mind and body, it seeks sym metrical development of the entire phys ique. It establishes correct physical habits, without which no one can re- tain health. It teaches people how to use their bodies for it is only becaus @ people in some way, often in many ways, misuse and overtax their bodies that they lose health, strength and beauty as the years roll on.
 Kind Providence never fashioned our bodies to wear out before we are half through with them and it is our own fault when they do so.~ The Delsarte laws teach us how to put the strain in the right place, to relieve over burdened, tired muscles and to bring into play those which have stiffened from neglect to use them.
 If people would alternately rest and work all the different sets of muscles they would always retain fiexibility and strength. A graceful and elegant car riage is as essential to health as it is to an attractive appearance.
 The Delsarte system is the only sys- tenn which trains the nerves, which teaches people how to rest, and how to work with economy of force, Far more vital energy is used up by waste of force than by hard labor. The relaxing energies by removing nerve tension pre- vent all nervous troubles and prove oftentimes successful cure for them. The Delsarte work gives nerve control, develops self possession, ease and grace. It enables people not only to appear bet fer a nd to feel better, but to be better, for the body acts upon the mind no less than the mind upon the body, an in- jury to one is an injury to both. This fact is too much disregarded
 The physical part of us is as much Gods gift as the spiritual and mental. The physical is sustaining, and if neglect ed or abused, the spiritual and mental powers will never reach the perfection that they might and ought.
 The body is the agent which makes manifest to others our feelings and char acteristics. If we understand the signifi. canoe of different attitudes and move ments we shall be able to express at all times the best that is in us, and we will be able to detect and appreciate the best in Others.- Adelaide Morse.

The mouth became envious of the stomach. The tongue set up great clamor, the teeth chattered and the jaws sympathized. The bore of contention was that they had all the hard work to do and the stomach received all the benefit. The tongue got the notion somehow (no one knows how, for the brain was not in it), that the stomach had too much power, and wanted too much, and felt itself too important. In- deed. what could that greedy, bloated thing do without the mouth? Nothing" The labor of the jaws and teeth was the chief thing in the ceremony of nature, in fact. was it not everything?
 Of course there must be something to eat, first, but they all knew that to begin with. And the mouth must have strength to work with or the jaw could not labor. But mother nature would take care of that. ssCould not the eyes discover food? Could not the brain plan to get it? Would the hand bring it to the mouth? But as for the stomach, that overlooking thing, we will not labor and sacrifice and give up every thing to fill it any longer" So the tongue clamored, and the teeth chatter ed, and the jaws sympathised, and the mouth went on 8 strike against the stomach.

A RUNAWAY.


 On Friday afternoon as Leonard Bots- ford was driving Merchant l.. c. Morris grocery wagon to the depot, the horse took fright at the photographers tent near Thomas Reilly's house, and shied into the ditch. The wagon struck tele- graph pole, wrecking two of the wheels and otherwise damaging it. MT Bots- ford brought the horse back to the Street and Mir Morris hitched on to another wagon to go after the demolished wheels. The horse tried to get away again at the same place but MT Morris succeeded in holding him after he had lapded again on the telegraph pole and cracked shaft. Mir Morris thought it was time the horse became acquainted with the tent, or whatever frightened him, and unhitching him from the wagon gave him thorough introduction, making him familiar with both the outside and inside of the tent.

 We think if those who could and do not attend the prayer meetings at the Baptist church on Sunday evenings knew what they missed by not hearing the pastors talks, which are nearly if not fully equal to his sermons (and only those who have heard those sermons can realize what that means), there would at least be fewer empty chairs in the lecture room.-[*
