DOUBTFUL COMPLIMENT.

The New York Tribune tells the
following good story on Vermont's
junior Senator:
Senator Dillingham;, of Vermont,
the successor OF the lamented Morrill,,
recently returned from an extended
trip through the west and up to
Alaska. The Senator says that while he
was in Idaho he was much struck by
the strength of character and the
manliness so characteristic of the men
of that State. The party with which
the Senator was travelling put up for
several days with rich miner, whose
manner of thought and action acquired
in the rough days of prospecting and
poverty has in no way been changed
by the acquisition of enormous
wealth.
When the time came for the Sen
ator to say good by to the miner the
latter shook the statesman's hand
with great fervor, saying as he did
so:
Senator, we like you here. You re
an easterner and a successful man,
but you're no d aristocrat! We
like you, sir, because you're free and
easy, and no gentleman. In fact,
you're just like Us. :"

~COTTONSEED MEAL.
Ii Is a Food stuff Rich in Protein
and Can Be Used to Advantage
for Pigs.

A bulletin of the Oklahoma sta
ton says: Protein. the heterogeneous
part of the feed, is the most impor-
tant constituent in it.. Many of the
feeds on the farm. as corn.
kafir corn, etc, do not contain this
ingredient in sufficient amount for
the best results in feeding. A feed
is generally valuable in proportion
to the amount of protein it contains.
Cottonseed meal is one of the verv
richest feeds in protein and it is a
very cheap source of this valuable
food ingredient. In cattle feeding,
cottonseed meal is used quite extern
sively and with the best results
where certain precautions are fol-
lowed. 1t has been used only to a
limited extent in pig feeding. as IA
tai results have followed as a rule
i'm the general way of feeding it.
After feeding on it from four to six
weeks the pigs would commence dv-
ing, and this has usually been the
case when even small amounts of
the cottonseed meal have been fed
along with other grain. The writer
has found a mixture of one-fifth cot-
tonseed meal and four-fifths corr or
Katir meal to give most excellent re-
suits when fed to pigs. and with
very few exceptions no pigs have
died, if the cottonseed meal was not
continued longer than four weeks.
Later experiments at this station in
dictate that there are several condi-
lions under which pigs may be fed
a small amount of cottonSeed meal
with other grain for an indefinite
time without iniuring the pigs in any
way, and good gains obtained with
a small amount of grain. One Of
the conditions is where the shoats
have access to plenty of range and
green feed. Again. if the c~ottonseed
meal is dropped after feeding three
or four weeks and after a lapse of
two or three weeks added to the
feed again for three or four weeks,
and dropped again for a few weeks,
and so on until the pigs are grown
or fattened. good gains will be OBJ
tanned with practically no loss OF
pigs.

HIS TIME WAS NOT UP.
And Father Made Him Take on His
Good Clothes and Work An
other Half Day.

A man Of a mercenary spirit had several
sons. one of whom was on the eve of his
~twenty-frst birthday. The father had al.
ways been a strict disciplinarIan. keeping
his boys well under parental charge, allow
ing them few liberties and making them
work hard, relates Youths Companion.
1t was with a feeling of considerable sat
i~>faction that the young mar rose on the
morning OF his birthday and began to collect
his personal belongings preparatory to start
ing out in the world.
The farmer. seeing his son packing his
trunk, which he rightly judged to be evil
dence of the early loss of a good farmland,
stopped at the door of the young mans
room and asked what he was going to do.
The boy very promptly reminded his faith
er of the Gay of the month and the year, and
declared his intention of striking out in the
world on his own account. -.

man, 'tat least not for awhile, yet. You

NOTES FOR B~EEKEEPERS.

4 German journal tells of a horse
that was cured Of a severe attack Of
rheumatism after being badly stung
by bees.
italian bees are the best workers,
and they are also the worst robbers,
if one they vel make a commence
mcnt in robbery.
It is estimated that to equal one
pound of honey from clover, g., 000
heads of clover must be deprived of
nectar, and $500, 900 visits from bees
must be made.
The worst" thing you can do with
your honey is to send it to a commits
sion merchant who has no trade for
it. and will sacrifice the honey just
to get rid of it..
\ Swiss bee journal asserts that a
coiony having II frames of brood in
creased in weight from May . to May
6 S3 pounds; another of nine frames
increased only half as much.
it is well to introduce an Italian
queen in all cross-bred colonies after
h' SNtolh Stdl, - requiem III dPidI
with Italians every third or fourth
year if black bees are plenty in the
vicinity.
A Belgian bee writer says that a
number of drones and workers fresh
ly killed were laid at the entrance-of
a hive at night. Nightingales came
and ate the drones, but did not touch
the workers. Is it not possible that
some other birds make the same dis
tipction?
Prof. G.. DeBunge, Il German scien-
fist. says that, among the hydrates of
| carbon which serve as food. honey
holds an exceptional place. Of all the
sugary matters, honey is the only one
containing iron. and. strangely
enough, almost exactly in the same
proportion as is found in white
bread.-Midland Farmer.
