Cotton-seed meal is so rich in pro-
tein that it is one of the best foods
with which to balance" rations. 1t
has become standard food for cattle
and sheep. Why not use it for horses
and mules? Thousands OF work ami
mails In North Carolina can be better
and more cheaply fed if cotton-seed
meal is used for part or all the grain.
NO experiments that we know of had
Deen made when We began to agitate
the question. though some cotton-seed
meal feeding to such stock may have
been done. Two old horses were Sc
cured for the purpose OF ascertaining
the effect OF cctton-seed meal in a
ration. They were fed good ration
FOR ten days. consisting Of clover chaff
threshed out with crimson clover seed.

gained and one lost weight on this ra-
ton. while both were kept at usual
wor!.. No l gained IL pounds daily,

horses is given as No. below. Dur

pounds per day and No. 2. Al pounds;

No. 2 during the first period were due

vious ration, and this gain distributed
over the two periods, 1t would be
equivalent to 1.56 pounds per day. The
daily weights show irregularity and
falling back during the first period:
| but when two pounds OF cottonseed
meal had replaced two pounds OF corn
meal and shipstuff Of the ration In
the first period, there was an almost
regular advance in body weight. AZ
ter the first two periods the same chat
was continued two days and the grain
changed by reducing corn and ship
stuff one pound each and increasing
the cottonseed meal one-half pound.
Then. with the grain fed regularly as
thus changed. timothy hay was fed in
place Of the chaff. Horse No. l re-
fused the hay and ate only what meal
he could pick OF. leaving hay. saliva
and meal in excess Of the hay fed. He
was discarded after four days Of this
kind Of feeding. Horse No. 2 was con-
tinued eight days. but did not eat the
hay we'll. although he nearly held his
weight. Neither horse showed any
symptoms to indicate that the cot
tonseed meal disagreed with them
but both objected to late-cut timothy

A lot of French cattle were on their
way to the United States, being about
to be shipped from the port Of Havre.
France. The United States consul
there stopped the shipment and notl-
fed the authorities that they would
not be allowed to enter this country,
as disease exists in France. Like
stand has been taken in regard TO
Switzerland Most Americans will up
hold the government in this matter
The fact is that both France and
Switzerland, wishing to please the
agrarians farmers) Of their countries,
have stopped the import of American
cattle, using as preteXt the same
plea that has been used in England
that there is disease among the cattle
in the United States. 1t is fact that
there Is more or less disease among the
cattle of every country, and if Amer
lean cattle are to be excluded for that
reason there is no objection to apply
ing the rule around.

Money in Meat Packing.-The Lon
don Financial News says: "A rather
curious fact was ELECTED at yesterdays
meeting of the Chicago Packing and
Provision company-namely that only
II per cent Of the share capital was
held in England, the balance having
been acquired by Americans. The Eng
lish company itself carries on no bust
ness, but in 1890 acquired all but six
shares of the Chicago company. Since
80 per cent of the English company's
shareholders are now citizens of the
United States, it is plain that the
Americans have virtually bought the
undertaking back, and the utility of a
London board is not very clear. On the
other hand, in view of the steady de-
cline in the diyidends-15 per cent in
1891, 12R per cent in 1892, 10 per cent
in 1898, per cent in 1894 and only
per cent for last year-it must be some
satisfaction for the remaining English
shareholders to see that American in
vestors evidently do not regard the
company's prospects as permanently
bad"

Straw for Feed.-Where straw is cut
before it is too ripe it is Of value as
food, especially for store cattle. In
Germany it is valued at more than half
the price of the best hay. But to Sc
cure the best results in feeding straw
some material rich in albuminoids
must be fed with the straw. such as
oil-cake. shorts. middlings or clover
hay. The straw alone does not con-
tain enough of the albuminoids to Sc
cure the complete digestion of the car
bohydrates which it contains. II the
straw Is fed with substances rich in
albuminoids the manure will he as
rich as that made Of hay.-Prof. r. c.

Litter in Poultry Housewife
cheapest material for making the hens
lay is litter. What the hens require in
winter more than feed is somewhere to
scratch and something in which to
scratch. A large poultry house with
ample room on the floor, and with a
plentiful supply Of leaves or cut straw,
will be more acceptable to the hens
than anything else. Litter is valuable
because it makes the hens lay, and it
makes them lay because it gives them
an opportunity to work, and thus accel-
crate the circulation Of the blood pro-
noting warmth and increasing the ap-
petite. All the food that may be given
will not promote egg production if the
hens are kept in idleness and given no
opportunity to scratch and enjoy them
selves.

Correct Feeding.-The main princi-
Pile to be observed in feeding the mich
cow is to feed moderately. No matter
what you feed, do it in reasonable
quantities, and no sudden or radical
changes should be made. but in chang
ing feeds do it gradually and with
moderation. A sudden change from
dry food to succulent pasturage often
causes serious disturbances of the di-
gestive organs. ana therefrom results
serious loss to the owner of the
cow.-EX.

Brindles Causes for THANKSGIVING
A clean bed. A quiet and gentle
mixer. An abundance Of good food.
A stall large enough for her to turn
around in. A stable with no cracks
or knot-holes to let in wind. A yard
wherein there are no horses or colts
to make her afraid. A dry barnyard
and sheltered spot where she can lie
down and chew her cud. Water pump
ed fresh from the we'll and not allowed
to freeze over before she can drink It,.
An owner who looks after her general
welfare and who shows his kindly dis
position by occasionally stopping to
scratch her back as he passes through
the barnyard.-Ex.

Pure Milk.-It may be stated as
fact that milk as 1t comes from the
healthy cow is perfectly pure. 1t mas
by nature no unpleasant taste or smell
except an occasional result of peculiar
food, and all so Objectionable get into
the milk after it is drawn from the
udder of the COW. They come from
the unceaned body of the COW herself,
or from her surroundings, the air OF
the stable, the milk vessel or the
clothing or person of the mixer. These
troubles are all avoidable; they are not
to be charged to the COW, but to the
keeper. With the exception OF some
extraordinary large mixers, or for
short periods when the yield is the
largest, there is no gain in milking
cows more than twice a day. Within
limits it is true that If properly done,
the oftener a COW is MIXED the richer
will be the milk, but the difference is
very slight, and seldom, il ever.
