Eject. of OIL Meal ON Butter.

Linsced oil meal tends to produce a
soft, oily butter and to impair its fla
vor. Cotton seed oil tends to produce
lard. crumbly butter, and is more
Objectionable even than oil meal in the
matter of flavor. lilo vcyer, limited
quantities of either do not produce
very material damage, but do tend to
considerably increase the product.
especially when the protein contents
of the balance of the ration is low.
/ The oil meal Is an excellent stomaclic
as we'll. and seems to promote diges-
tion. 1t has n mildly laxative effect,
and therefore tends to overcome the
binding effects Of dry winter fodder.
Cotton seed meal does not act this

The Hessfnn Flx.

Owing to the prevalence and de-
structiycncss of the Hessian fly this
year, concerted efforts should be put
forth to prevent n recurrence Of its
lavagcs upon the next wheat crop. In
order to prevent Il serious attack Of
''the fly" the following measures
should be adopted:
Thoroughly burn all lly-infested
wheat stumble in which there Is not q
stand Of young clover or grass. Pre-
pare very early border, one or tEo
rods wide. around each field of wheat,
AMI SOW the same to wheat in August.
Turn this border under very late,
using n jointer, following with roll
and harrow and then sow the entire
field.
by taking this course. many of the
insects which escape the fire will be
burned when the early-sown border is
turned under, and late sowing of
the general crop will avoid earlier
attacks of any remaining "fy."-Farm

Telexraph Experience..

In a work on the many phases Of
telegraph life, sad scene Is related.
A New Orleans operator was slowly
dying Of consumption Mt the home Of
his boyhood in Franklin, Tenn. Sum.
moning sufficient strength one day,
and against the wishes Of his devoted
wife, he walked to the telegraph Of
fee there and requested Memphis to-
place him in connection with, New
Orleans. Calling Taylor Adams, IN
old chum in the office, to the key, the
operator requested him to gather
around him all bis old fellow laborers.
Adams compiled, and Taylor Brown,
the operator, opened his key and sent
the following message: 81 am dying
by inches and my WORKOUT body will
soon be returned to clay. have come
from my sick bed to say goodbye"
There was pause of three minutes
when the key was again used. The
sounder here licked: Taylor Brown
has died in the chair" The hand that
flashed this, however, was not
Browns but that of the regular ope.
rator. A prominent telegraph operator
of many years. experience was asked
what message Of the many thousands
That had passed through his hands had
made the most lasting impression on
him. He replied that he should never
forget a message that was mailed
some eighteen years ago at jackson,
Miss. The message was put in at
1852 a. M, with the instructions:
''rhis message must be delivered In
the hands of the sheriff of Wilkinson
county, Woodville. Miss, before
noon." The message was respite
from the governor of the state on be-
half of poor wretch then standing
on the gallows awaiting the blow Of
the ak that would cut the rope. The
receiving operator, who tells the story,
was in an agony of nervousness, es-
pecially as he knew the Jail was near
ly mile from the Office. The man
ager of the Office, however, was equal
to the emergency. Mounting a horse
standing in the front of the office, he
arrived at the Jail just us the last sig.

proceedings. The unfortunate, whose
life was thus spared, was sent to the

ORIGIN Of Light.

Prof. Dewar says that oxygen is
highly phosplorescent; under certain
conditions 1t will give off q steady
light. This is a suggestion as to the
nnture and origin OF light. The pro-
portion Of oxygen increases nearer the
earth's surface and no does the intens-
ity of light, for as we ascend into the
atmosphere light and the proportion
Of oxygen to other gases decrease in
nearly the same ratio. 1t Is suggested
that the light does not come from the
sun, but the force which comes from
the sun comes in contact with the ut
mosphere OF oxygen, this combined
action ignites the carbon gases and
produces light. 1t is theory which
may be possibly demonstrated.

About $50 q. M. when eight miles
southwest Of. tho South lighthouse,
Capt. Ed Dodge sighted . whale, and
IN q few moments the Ocean View was
close enough to the great mammal to
enable her commander to throw the
harpoon, which he did very sccessful-;

Of five-eighths-inch rope, with barrel
at its end, was attached to the barb

after the whale had been struck he
went scurrying through the. water at
q terrific rate. the barrel following,
and leaving In Its pathway crest Of

Presently the whale dlved deep In
the water, but there remained III plain

turn or two on a cleat Of the vessel.
This was done about 1:30 p. H., and
from that time on to 4:30 p. m. there
was much excitement and fun enough
on board the Ocean View to lust the
young women from Springfield and
Enfield for years to come. Sometimes
the whale run straight ahead, increas-
Ing the speed Of the vessel percepti-
bly,; then he would run in circle.
Sometimes he would make rush
across the bow of the vessel; and
twice he dived under 1t. After he had
performed the litter interesting trick
once Mr.. Taylor suggested to the
young women that the next time he
did it he would knock the vessel into
kindling wood with his tail. But the
women had faith In Capt. Dodge's
skill and judgment, and they were not
scared bit.
For seven hours the Ocean View fol-
lowed the monster, in one direction
and another, until finally she was
twenty miles Mt seq. For more than
three hours Capt. Dodge or his engin-
eer had hold Of the rope, gradually
drawing the whale toward the vessel,

fall and early winter ia very great.
One strong argument In favor Of en-
silage is that this more closely resem-
bles the succulent food Of summer
than any other of the common articles
of stock food. Many farmers will find
no other SO cheap and easy mode of
securing green food as by sowing rye
as early as may be this fall. Where
corn has been cut for feeding or where
early varieties are cut for ensllagc or
dry fodder, the ground may lie hown
to rye with comparatively little pre-
paration, although. Of course, 1t should
be In good condition. These plans,
however, would usually prevent the
sowing of rye as early as is desirable.
Flowing stubble ground or using land

toes will be advisable in many cases.
