cottonseed Meal

The hulls OF cotton seed are exceed
ingly hard to digest. For this the cot
tonseed meal that contains many Of the
black specks which are parts Of the
hull should never be fed to young
stock, or even to older stock. unless 1t
has been gradually accustomed to Its
use. The meal free from specks is very
rich food, and especially in the material
for furnishing strength. 1t needs to be
fed with some divlsor that contains Ut
tie nutrition. and for this purpose grain
straw Is better than hay. as 1t Is less
likely to cloy the animal.

lFrom the Boston Globe.l

(fTOm the Boston GlODc.)
Whatever fire-eating fiction and lingo
cxplosivencss might seem to indicate, nat
ural history teaches us that the flesh
eating animals, though cruel and desper-
ate when cornered. are always cowardiy
whenever they are given a chance to run.
The vegetarian organ contends that
man whose blood Is surfeited with animal
nutriment is universally more nervous
and timid than one whose blood is kept
cooler by vegetable diet and that the
carnivorous gentleman will run three
times in dangerous situations where the
man of cooler blood and nerves will stand
his ground.
All these are more or less speculative
theories. Fortunately for New England.
however, we have in Boston baked beans,
Il compromise that fully meets the situa-
ton Any man who is trying To get his
lighting blood up and cannot wait for
chance to get at the Spaniards should
adopt an exclusively bean diet and double
his usual rations.
1t IS safe TO say that pot of Boston
baked beans will furnish a better war
stomach in the present eXigency than
could be obtained by swallowing a whole
Spanish bull fight.

Origin of E!dorado.

(From the Argonaut.)
In these Klordike days one of the terms
most common Of use is Ell Dorado, refer
ring to a region of marvellous wealth. Few
persons who find the words convenient for
expressing an idea. however, are aware
of their derivation. Thus is the story of
their origin:
About 1900 in South America there was
city of great wealth called Manoa, whose
king. Eel Dorado was periodically smear
ed with oil of balsam, and was then pow
dered with gold dust. until his whole
body wore n gilded appearance. On these
occasions he threw gold. emeralds. and
other precious metals and gems into a
sacred lake, In which he afterwards
bathed.
Beginning in 1892, the Spaniards sent
many large expeditions to discover this
phantom city Most Of them ended dis
astrously hundreds of lives being lost.
one explorer asserted that he had found
El Dorado in the Amazon in 1910 This
was disproved, and the search continued
This resulted in the conquest of New
Granada, the opening up of the mountain
region Of Venezuela the discovery of the
rivers Orinoco and Amazon. and the ex-
plOratiOn Of the vast forests west of the
Andes.
1t has been supposed that the origin Of
this fable arose from the yearly celebra-
ton Of tribe of Indians near Bogata,
whose chief was on these occasions gilded
with gold dust. But this ceremony was
never witnessed by the Spaniards. and
the story may simply be another version
Of the FL Dorado legend.
The name FL Dorado was commonly
used to describe the city or country
which was the object of the search, but
it is now applied to any collaborating re-
gion Of more than ordinary richness.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS
ONE IN FAVOR OF THE WESTERN UNION
COMPANY.
One Against The Southern Express Company
They Affect the Use Of Revenue
Stamps in Georgia.

Atlanta, Ga., August 1.-The patrons
of the Southern Express Company III
Georgia will not in the future be re-
qured to pay for the revenue stamps
affixed to the bills of lading issued by
the company.
The senders of messages over the
Western Union Telegraph Company will
continue to pay the one cent war tax.
The Georgia Railroad Commission de-
cided the two cases i'll reference to the
express and telegraph companies today.
The decision was against the former.
but favorable to the latter.
Able and elaborate opinions were rem
dered in each case by Judge Spences X.
Atkinson on behalf of the commission.
1t was held that the express company
in issuing Il bill of lading was required
to put Il stamp upon it in order to make
it legal and that the company had no
right to exact the cost Of the stamp from
the shipper. The commission takes the
position that by requiring the one cent
tax to be paid by the shipper the express
company is in principle as much guilty
of an overcharge as il it exactcd 500
in each case.
In the case of the Western Union, tho
commission held that the company was
not required to receive Il message until
it was stamped. 1t does not become Il
legal message until the sender puts the
revenue stamp upon it.
