BOTH ARE VALUABLE.
Worth All They Cost, Especial
Iy in the Great Southwest.

At the present prices that are pre-
vailing for cotton seed and cotton
seed meal, the latter is the cheaper
and better feed. Every grower of cot
ton should also be something of a
stockman, since he is producing one
of the very best of stock foods, and
should utilize it at home so as to keep
up the fertility of the soil.
Just when to feed cotton seed and
when to feed cotton seed meal is a
question which troubles many farm
ers. In so far as the feeding value
goes, it is true for all practical pur-
poses that when what is received for
ton of cotton seed will pay for
$50 pounds of meal it is economy to
buy meal. At the present prices it
will do more than that, and no cotton
seed should be fed this fall.
The addition of about two pounds
of cotton seed meal per day to the
ration of corn or Kaffr meal usually
fed To steers that are being fattened
is profitable, especially when corn or
Kafir slower is used for roughness.
The cotton seed meal supplies the
flesh and growth-making materials
which corn and Kair corn lack and
produces better growth and more
rapid gains. 1t is better for this pur-
pose than cotton seed because the oil
which is taken out at the mill is not
needed in the feed of cattle that are
being fed on corn or Kafir. If the
stockmen and dairymen of the north
ern and eastern states can afford to
pay high freight and still use cotton
seed meal as feed for their cattle, it
would certainly be profitable for Okla
homa farmers to make use of all that
is grown here and keep our fertility
at home.
Every ton of cotton seed meal is
worth what it costs as fertilizer, and
when fed to cattle all this fertility is
kept at home, where it belongs.-Na.

NORMAL SCHOOL VICTIMS.
Five More Bodies of the UnfortunateH
Found at the Foot of the
Fire Escape.

Dunkirk, n. Y, Dec. 17.-Bodies of
five more victims of the Normal school
fire were recovered yesterday, max
ing six that have been taken from the
ruins. Those found yesterday were
charred beyond recognition, as was
the one previously recovered. Work.
men, while removing debris, found the
five bodies at the foot of fire escape.
They were piled across each other and
burned beyond recognition.
A ring on the finger of one of the
bodies gives a hope that it may be
identified, but there is nothing by
which the others can possibly be dis
tinguished. 1t is proposed that all be
buried in one grave and that it be
marked by one monument, to be
placed in the Fredonia cemetery in
memory of the victims.
District Attorney Greene and Cor
oner Blood viii begin a rigid Investi-
cation at once, which will inquire into
all matters connected with the struc-
ture of the building and the fire.

German Training FrfRRfa FOundsreA
on Malaga, Northeast OF
Gibraltar,

Madrid, Dec. 1.-THE German train
ing frigate Gneisenau has foundered
off Malaga, IS miles northeast of Glib
raltar. Private dispatches say that
20 persons were drowned.
Caught Am On Terrible storm.
The CHEESEMAN'S foundered at the en-
trance to the port of Malaga, where
she was about to take refuge from
the terrible storm prevailing. AT the
present time only the masts of the
vessel are visible.
CIInEinK to the Rigging.
A large number of cadets can be
seen from the shore clinging to the
rigging. They are shouting and sig
mailing for help. The captain and
many of the cadets have been
drowned.
The Lost Number Over One Hundred.
1t is believed that 40, who left in one
of the ships boats and have not been
seen since, are also lost.
The total loss is now thought to be
no less than 100. Some dispatches say
140. Forty of those saved are badly
hurt.
The training ship had been at Mala-
ga since November 1, practicing with
guns of large caliber. She had been
previously at Megador. Morocco.
Overtaken by the Storm.
At ten o'clock yesterday morning a
review of the cadets was in order.
The wind was extremely violent, and
instructions were given to stoke up as
rapidly as possible. But already
waves had struck the
ship, swapping the an nor chains. She
was driven helpless toward the port
and sank. The crew threw themselves
into the sea and chung to the wreck
age, but the majority quickly disap-
peared.
Capt. freshman died at his post.
Heroic, but Futile Efforts.
The Malaga lifeboat made heroic eff
forts, and rescued IS, but the weight
capsized the boat and IL were
drowned. The other three were saved
by means of ropes thrown to them.
The port authorities saved many of
the sailors.
The survivors have been received at
the hospital, the Hotel de Vile and
private houses. All the theaters in
Malaga abandoned their performances
Sunday evening.

WRONG AND RIGHT WAY.

and soaks into the manure dig little
trench to carry it away.
Build a silo or pen for the manure,
as shown in the illustration. Make it
seven or eight feet wide and about
four feet longer at each end than the
windows from which the manure is
thrown. If stock occupy the full
length of the barn the pen will be
as long as the barn. The earth
should be dug out about two feet
deep inside the pen. The deeper the
pile the better it is, but the bottom
cannot be much more than two feet
below ground because Of the difficulty
of loading manure on the wagon.
Make the sides of the pen of boards
or small poles and strengthen by
using plenty of upright posts. The
better plan is to put the side boards
inside the posts, as the manure set
ties more cOmpactly.
After the pen is built cover the
surface with one or two feet of muck,
loan or sods and turn in one or two
hogs to tramp it down. The impor-
tant thing is to keep the manure
spread evenly over the surface. The
pigs may do this, but if not it will be
necessary once or twice a week to
spread the manure that piles under
the windows.
The pen should be filed as full as
possible before carting it out, but it
cannot be filled above the window
sill without good deal of work.
When full there is a solid block of
manure about five or six feet deep,
seven or eight feet wide and as long
as the pen. The little rain that has
fallen upon it has hardly more than
wet it down in good shape, but when
very heavy rains fall add enough lit
ter or loan to absorb the water.
Never let the water run off the top
of the pile, but add sufficient absorb
ents to keep the pile reasonably dry.
In fact. absorbents must be added
from time to time to take up the
3atural moisture if it is largely cow
manure. When thus treated there is
practically no loss from rains and the
sun and wind have not appreciably
hurt it, because of the small surface
exposed. The entire pile becomes
good, solid manure and the loan that |
was originally placed at the bottom
is just as good as the rest.
When carting out manure take out |
the pigs and take down the side
boards so as TO avoid throwing the |
manure over the high fence. With the
above arrangement the manure is in |

An Arrangement That Preserves Fer

When there is no barn cellar the
most convenient place for piling
manure that is removed from the
stables daily is against the outside of
the barn, under the caves. The one
operation of shONeling it out win
dow finishes the job. AS ordinarily
practiced the water from the roof
drenches and washes out the soluble
parts of the manure Gig. y, while
the edges and outside of the pile are
dried by the sun and wind; so that
most of the fertility is lost. But these
conditions are very easily remedied.
To do this run a gutter or trough

ter to one end of the barn las at a,

To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat
catarrh out of its victims Pe-ru-na not only
cures catarrh, but prevents. Every house
hold should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, colds, and so forth.
1t will be noticed that the Governor says
he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for
other ailments. The reason for this is, most
other ailments begin with cold. Using Pc
ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects
his family against other ailments. This is
exactly what every other family in the
United States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in
the house. Use it for coughs, colds, la
grippe, and other climatic affections of win
ter, and there will be no other ailments in
the house. Such families should provide
themselves with a copy of DR.. Hartman's

Kitchen was elected in the First dis
triot, Wilmington, by plurality Of 93.
The district Is normally Democratic,
and win undoubtedly be carried BY the
Democrats this year. This will be q
Democratic gain. .. -s=.-.-
Another Democratic gain is probable
in Brandywine hundred, where Frank
p. Ewing, who was renominated Sat-
urday afternoon, was elected two years
ago by plurality of only 10. The
Democrats Rave strong hopes of carry
| ing this district.
A sure gain is expected in the Tenth
DISTRICT New Castle hundred, where
Representative Harry W. Hushebeek,
Union Republican, slipped in by the
slender margin of 6, two years ago,
through Democratic discussions. These
dissensions do not now prevail, and thu
district will surely be Democratic.
The Fourteenth district, Appoquini
mink hundred, which elected Repre-
sentative Francis K. Lattomus, Repub
lican. in 1893, by plurality of IS
will no doubt elect Democrat thi
