nothing in the act should be construed to
prevent the manufa acture and sale OF oleo-
margarine in any State for consumption
entirely within such State. and the other
to provide for the inspection and brand

The latter amendment was especially
obnoxious to the friends of the measure.

iapses are often caused by too much In
diligence Of the patients appetite at
this stage. One must advance slowly
and with great care. 4 broiled bird or
4 piece Of rare beefsteak or chop may
be given when the patient Is In q. sufi-
ciently advanced stage Of recovery.
Oysters are almost always allowed and
are both palatable and easily digested

cooked. When they are overlooked,
the albumen becomes hardened. very
tough aud difficult to digest. Cook
them only until the gills begin to curl.
Cream soups are valuable. rs they are
nourishing and easily digested. but
they should not be boiled too long.
A great deal Of attention should be
paid to the serving Of food for q sick
person. The faint appetite Of illness
can best be coaxed by the dalntiness OF
the food. Serve the food on tray with

Four or five years ago the town Of
Hampstead, Queens county, N. Y, voted
to spend S400, 900 in road Improvements.
Farms ut the time were worth from $50
to $50 an acre. They are now worth
several hundred dollars an aero and re-
turn good interest for those who pur-
chased them at that price, This haa
been such an object lesson to their
neighbors that I understand something
like 81, 900, 600 will be spent this year
In other parts Of Queens county and
neighborhood in building good roads.
This may seem o large amount Of mon
ey to be spent for the purpose, but ow-
ing to the character Of the soil and the
fact that good road material must be

HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION.
The Employment Of Free Labor Gives tho
Best Results.

The Employment OF Free Labor Gives the
Best Results.
Commenting ON the employment OF
oonyicts ON the public highways, the
New Orleans Times Democrat points
ont that the best results have been OBJ
tanned in road building when the best
free labor only has been employed II
says:
Road construction Is 0 science re-
ouiring o more careful study Of the sub
feet than is generally imagined The
prevalent idea that any one Gun build y
good road will not hold good. The
matter requires study, care and thor
oueh knowledge of tho soil and country
through which the road is to be built.
The department Of agriculture has Late
" been doing good work by laying be-
fore the people exactly what Ia neces'
sary in road construction.
The employment Of convicts In road
construction is very popular just now:
as Offering simultaneously solution OF
the two troublesome problems OF what
to do with our prison population and
how to improve our highways In view
Of the fact that the convicts In New
York, Indiana and other states are kept
idle, as the law makes M provision for
their support it Is well that Louisiana
should take some steps to utilize herr
when it has them on its hands, and
road construction seems an ideal en-
ployment for them.
On the other hand, the experience oi
those states which have been most sue
cessful with their roads is that only
the best labor (and convict labor II moi
the best) should be employed In their
construction and maintenance. No state
which has made any material improve.
ment with its highways has employed
convict labor, and no state which has
employed that kind Of labor has secured
much Improvement In its roads The
best results have been accomplished BY
road taxes and the giving out OF con-
tracts.

How High Priced Beef and Cotton Seed
Are Related.

The Texas Cotton Seed Crushers'
Association at q late meeting held In
Texas, passed q resolution confirming
that the high price Of beef was due 10
q shortage In seed products. The fol-
lowing taken from the Cotton and
Farm Journal. throws some light upon
this subject
THE rules adopted by the Texas
Cotton Seed Crushers' Association puts
| 1t In line with the other associations OF
q similar kind In the South. 1t ts prob
| able that there will be no more invas-
ion Of Mississippi and Alabama by
Texas mills In search Of seed.
"The cattlemen who were expected
here to expostulate over their alleged
bad treatment during the past year
have not put In appearance as yet, and
may not. The crushers do not seem
| concerned over the threat Of some OF
the cattlemen to operate their own
mills, The fact that the Swift Com
pany has recently purchased half a
dozen mills at different points was
not commented on by any Of the crush
ers to whom II was mentioned. save to
the effect that Swift would probably
be able to use more feed than those
mills would provide.
"A resolution was adopted deprecat-
! ing any act OF congress that may tend
to reduce the price of cattle and hogs.
and alleging that the present high
price OF meat IL due to u shortage In
seed products
l This would seem to show there were
two sides to this question OF high beef
and that In SO far AZ Texas Is concerned
the price Of beef Is bound to vary with
the price Of cotton seed hulls and cot
ton seed meal. In proportion as the
grass area OF Texas has diminished
the cattle-raisers have been compelled
to buy feed stuffs. and the only avail
able feed-stuffs In quantity Is cotton
seed hulls and cotton seed meal. Hulls
have been selling within the last year
or two In Texas as high as $l4 a ton.
This means that the meat supply In
the future is largely dependent upon
the cotton seed oil business, and that
the people Of the Southeastern States
will probably 60 much more extensively
into the business Of raising cattle for
beef purposes after they find out as
much about the values Of hulls and
meal as the Texas cattle man has
; found out by the necessities Of the
case. 1t would seem as though the
eastern farmer now has the advantage

Il has been estimated that 500. 000,-
600 tons of farm produce are hauled to
market annually in the United States
and that the cost Of marketing 1t 10 -
per ton, or just about 81, 600, 600, 600.
This is not money paid ont, but is the
value of the time spent by farmers with
their teams in marketing crops or what
these men and teams would have earned
II they had been hired for cash to do
this amount Of hauling. The secretary
Of the farmers national congress and
the United States department OF agri-
culture agree in estimating that about
60 per cent Of this vast amount, or
$500, 900, 600, would be saved each yeaf
II farmers were able to do this hauling
over good roads
