THE CAPTAINS SPEECH.
It Was Interestingly Brief and Dee cidedly to the Point, But Unsat-
 fsfactory to the Orator.

One of the volunteer companies recently at Camp .Alger possesses beautiful new nag, which was made and presented by a number ot patriotic women In the Pennsyl- vania town from which the company comes. 1t was presented just before the company marched aWay-or steamed away, to be ac- curate-and the presentation was the oeea- slon of much ceremony. The company was drawn up Tn long line-"company front" " l believe, IS the military term for it-and a very charming young lady read a very charming and somewhat lengthy address, which contained great deal of fowery Ian guage.. The captain was it" then, and had to reply. He is not an eloquent man at any tune, and he IS extremely shy; but he had written out graceful speech of accept ance, and he stepped forward confidently ana received the banner.
 Ladies, he began, in Fourth of July voice, voice, Ladies, we will accept this flag. La dies, We've will accept this flag" Here his color forsook him. He had forgotten the hest of his speech. One trembling hand sought the pocket of his blouse. The manu. script was gone.
 Ladies' he began again, desperately, with gulping kind of gasp, Ladies, we will accept this flag, and, and, and thanks awfully for it, doa't you know"
 And after all, I dare say the impromptu was quite as effective as the address he had prepared, but the captain doesn't like to talk about it.-Washington Post.

HIS UNDERSTANDING.
Re Knew What Receiver Was Just as We'll as Anybody in the
 Courtroom.


 A few days ago a case was in one of the courts that involved receiver for q building association. The plaintiff was a highly re Spected German who knew what he wanted, put Ill some manner the attorney had not taken the steps that his client desired. When the plaintiff was on the stand his at- torney examined him at length. During the examination the old gentleman became ex- cited and answered the questions in such a way that the judge was under the impression that he didn't thoroughly understand the questions and answers. He declared that he dldn t want a receiver, that he didn't want ms attorney to take the step, and that all he wanted was his money
 At this point the judge suggested that the court interpreter be sent for, that the Ger. man might make himself more clearly under stood. But he declared that he understood what he wanted, and that was his money. and lf he failed to get it he would kill him. :, To ascertain if he knew what he wanted the judge said:
 Do you know what receiver is?'
 Yes, sir; l do, sir" said the honest Ger man. He vos der man vot gifts der monish und gifts nottings'
 This convinced the judge that the plaintiff knew quite, we'll what he wanted and what he was talking about, So the interpreter was dispensed with, for the time being, at q guess" said the judge. in conclusion, The knows about as much about a receiver as we do."-Cincnnati Commercial Tribune.

This great variation in different lots
Of cOttonseed meal may explain the diff
fcrent estimates of different practical
feeders and of the same feeders at diff
ferent times. If u COW is fed cotton
seed meal containing 26 per cent pro-
tein, and is then fed an equal weight of
meal containing 52 per cent, it is evil
dent that the amount Of protein which
she receives will have been doubled by
the change. II she has been fed up to
her full capacity i'll the first instance,
such an increase must result DISASTROUS
ly. On the other hand, changing from
a cottonseed Of high protein content to
one OF low protein content would dimin-
ish the milk flow unless the amount of
meal fed is CORES OndingIy increased.
IT it Is a correct supposition that
much Of the trouble arising from the

overcome by the feeder. Cottonseed

Wheat For Pigs.

Wheat is now higher than it has been
for several years and too dear to feed to
grown animals of any kind. Yet we
think q small amount fed daily to young
and growing pigs will pay even at pres
ent prices. 1t will probably pay to feed
wheat to all pigs in part to replace the
corn ration that is nearly always injuri
Gus. Wheat contains more nearly the
elements of growth than any other
grain except peas or beans, and only
sheep can be induced to eat whole beans
Wheat bran aud wheat middlings cost
nearly as much as wheat and are not so
good for feeding purposes if given i'll

Abort Cottonseed Meal.

Much has Lcen said and written rela-
tive to TIE use Of cottonseed meal as
cattle f-od. Nearly all Investigators
agree in giving it a high value and urge
dairymen to use this material not only
because it is a cheap source Of protein,
but because it also has high manurial
value. Practical feeders differ greatly
in their estimates of cottonseed meal.
Some seem to use it very satisfactorily
for awhile and later conclude that the
feed is not well adapted for their pur-
poses. Occasionally a feeder observes
that the health of his animals is affect
ed by the feeding of cottonseed too free
ly, and it sometimes happens that even
after animals have been fed for months
with apparent success they are injured
by its continued use. 1t has also hap
pened that cows fed upon cottonseed
meal do we'll for time and that later
the milk flow is diminished without ap-
parent cause.

trated feeding stuffs which vary SO

1t is-a good plan to clip your lambs
of their wool shortly after you begin to
fatten them for market, especially if the
wool is worth anything. The clipped
lamb is not so liable to get ticks as the
wooded one. If you keep the pens warm,
it will fattCn just as soon as the wooded
one. Besides that, you can sell tie
fleece for more than the butcher would
give you fer it. The butcher cares very
little for the fleece. He is after the
meat and pays within a trifie as much
for clipped lambs as for those with
wool on.
