FAIHER1SES CHILDREN rs HORSES
UP IN WlscONsls--HE GUIDES THE pLow.
NEARLY ALL ARE GIRLS.

Oshkosh, Wisconsin, May 26.-Com-
plants have been made against far
mer living near Nenah that he has
been hitching four of his seven chill.
dren to a plow and compelling them
to drag the implement through a
ten.acre truck garden, while he
guided the plow and drove as he
would drive horse.
This sensational complaint is
founded on facts, as neighboring far
mers and persons from Oshkosh, rid
eiRg along the highway, have wit
sssed the cruel practice. When
the attention of the authorities was
called to the matter, DR.. Wilkie,
agent of the fox River Valley
Humane Society, went to the farmer
and compelled him to send five of
the children to school. Of the seven
children, five were of school age,
whom the farmer, it is alleged, was
rearing in ignorance. None of them
was able to read or write. The
majority are girls. The oldest one,
and one who was hitched to the plow,
rs not over IA years of age.
DR.. Wilkie states that the plow is
heavy affair, with harnesses at
tached. which were put about the
shoulders of the eCchildren.

Big Fee for Senator Butler.

Quite a number of the old soldiers
were curious to know why Gen. M.
@. Butler did not attend the reunion.
His heart was with the old soldiers,
but he could not possibly get away
to come to Columbia. For fifty
years he has been fighting in the
courts on the Cherokee Indian claim,
and the Supreme Court has just rem
dered verdict in favor of the In
dians. AS one of counsel in the
case Gen. Butler is very much inter-
ested in the collection of the money,
out of which he is to receive hand.
some fee-over $4,000 for his good
self. Gen. Butler is well up on Con.
gressional affairs, and as an appro-
priation must be obtained to carry
out the views of the Supreme Court,
he was urged to remain on the field
to give his personal attention to the
litigation in which he has taken such
an active part, and which is now 80
near the end.
Gen. Butler sent his kindest re-
CARDS TO his old comrades, and when
they heard why he could not attend
they were delighted to hear of his
good fortune, and only hoped that he
would get into a dozen more such
good cases, for they all love and ad-
mire Gen. Butler News and Courier.

THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS. {.
THE REUNION IN COLUMBIA A GRAND
SUCcESS-A MEMORABLE OCCASION.

The reunion of Confederates in
Columbia was d most enjoyable
affair. Nothing was neglected to
make the occasion memorable and
the weather was all that could be de-
sired. An immense multitude filled
the city, but no one was turned away
from the homes of the patriotic peo-
pie. The State House grounds were
also covered with tents and every
veteran could select a home or a tent
just as he pleased. The arrange
ments for feeding the veterans were
perfect and there were rations in
abundance. Agreat tent, capable of
seating five thousand people, served
as an auditorium and at times there
was scarcely standing room. A fine
programme had been made up and it
was followed strictly, 80 one could
hear and see what he wished and cut
out the balance.
About two thousand five hundred
veterans were in attendance. Some
had their wives and children with
them. There were more fine look
ing women in the city than ever
known before at one time. They
were well dressed, stylish and happy.
The march was witnessed by thou
sands.
Although age is creeping on the
veterans, they stepped up lively and
moved forward steadily.
A beautiful picture was made by
three hundred girls on the steps of
the State House. They were robed
in the colors of the Confederate flag
and made charming group.
Columbia always leads in such en-
tertainments and on this occasion
surpassed all her former achieve
ments. All we're lavish in their
praises Of the hospitality of the city
and kindness of everylone.-Abbe-
vile Medium, May "a.

A Soldiers Dream.
In quarters on his little bunk,
A tired aoldiers slav

In quarters on his little bunk,
A tired soldierlay,
He had beon on guard the day before,
And came off guard that day,
Aud scarcely had he lain his head
Into those pillows deep e
Than he succumbed to drowsiness
And soon fell fast to sleep.
And now his face is wreathed In smiles
How happy he must be,
Some pleasant dream is pleasing him,
And now he is light and free.
But see! The smiles have changed to tears,
How swiftly they arc flowing,
And now he has sprapg upon his feet!
Where can he be going?
Noiseless he steps along,
Some twenty feet or more,
From his blue shirt pocket takes key
And unlocks his locker door.
The door unlocked, he opens it,
1t flies back with whirl,
And on panel, nailed there fast,
Was the picture of his girl.
All! now we know what caused those
smiles,
What vision brought those tears;
He was dreaming of boyhood love
OF q girl he had not aeen for years.
He was thinking of sweetheart
Far away DER New England hills,
And though he gazed with lifeless eyes
His heart with rapture thrilled.
But at last his dream is ended;
We see him close the door;
He gives the little key twist
And is off to bed once more,
But hardly has he lain there
When he sprang upon his feet
Rubs both his eyes and sings out, "Bill,
"Does the old guard stand retreatp'

CATTLE FEEDING IN THE SOUTH
c. o. JORDAN WRITES ON THE VALUE or
c0TT0H SEED HULLs AND MEAL.
[The Cotton Seed. 4

| 1.-THE Cotton Seed.1
The advantages of the South for
economical cattle feeding for market
are manifold. ).
Climatic conditions are more favor
able than the more northern States,
where the cattle have to go through
long and rigorous winters. An
abundance of forage crops can be
grown, suoh as corn, sorghum, KattiT
corn and cowpeas. In addition to
these drops of roughness, the oil mill
in the nearby town has a most ex-
cellent feed in cotton seed hulls.
The oil mill also supplies the cattle
feeder with the finest concentrated
feed in the world, viz: cotton seed
meal.
Cattle feeding, like any business,
must be conducted on business-like
basis. The feeder must know what
are the best forage crops to grow,
how to construct his silo and to cure
his silage. He must know the
chemica! contents OF his feeds and
how much of the protein, -carbohy-
drates and fat is digestible. He must
know in what ratio protein and carbo-
hydrates should be fed, for if he
feeds an excess of protein, the result
is the excess either goes through the
cattle or the more expensive protein
goes to the making of fat when this
work should be done by the less ex-
pensive carbohydrates.
There should not be deficiency
of protein, for without it the animal
body does not rebuild its waste and
wear.
All food contains sufficient ash for
the demands of the body, 80 the only
thing which has to be considered is
the digestible contents of protein,
carbohydrates and fat in the feed,
and the proportion in which they
should be fed. The special work of
protein is to supply blood, lean meat,
tendons, hair, skin, etc., and the fats
and carbohydrates supply the animal
heat and fatty tissues.
Protein foods are the most ex-
pensive and the carbohydrates the
less expensive foods. Fat is con-
sidered about ID times the value of
carbohydrates as a heat and fat pro-
ducer, 80 to arrive at the nutritive
ratio of any given food, multiply the
number of pounds of digestible fat
by "a and add to the pounds of di-
gestible carbohydrates, and divide
this result by the digestible protein.
For example, if food has pounds
of digestible protein, 10 pounds of
digestible carbohydrates and pound
of digestible fat, the nutritive value
is 2:6.2.
Subject to some modification, de-
pendent on original condition and
length of time over which feeding
extends, fattening cattle should be
fed in about the following ratio: first
period, 1:6.5; second period, /: 5.4 {;
third period, 80.
A ration of 80 pounds cotton seed
hulls and 6 pounds cotton seed meal
would figure as follows:

1t is commonly thought that cattle
should be finished off with corn, but
this is not the case. The Alabama
Experiment Station in bulletin 1913,
states that cattle fed on cotton seed
meal and sorghum showed gain of
2.23 pound per head per day and the
packers report was that they made
an outturn of 54.5 per cent of dressed
meat.
The Tennessee Experiment Sta
tion in 1908, fed cattle on cotton
seed meal, sorghum silage, corn and
cobmeal. The cotton seed meal was
gradually increased to 10 or IL
pounds per day. The grain was "a
pounds per head per day, which COM
pares favorably with experiments in
the corn belt agricultural stations,
and the dressed beef from these cattle
was pronounced satisfactory for the
Chicago market. In summing up
this experiment which was made
with cotton seed meal as the concen-
trate and various rough feeds the
average profit showed about SO per
head in addition to the manure. In
this connection In bulletin No. So
of the Georgia Agricultural Depart
ment issued in 1900, the statement
is made that cotton seed meal and
hulls loses only about 10 per cent of
its manurial value in feeding.
Texas, bulletin 76, November,
1904, states that yearling steers fed
on a ration of meal and hulls gained
2.59 pounds per head per day. In

one-fifth of gallon of molasses per
day to each steer is advocated aud
the statement made that an addition
of this quantity of molasses to the
above ration brought the gain up to
Bill pounds per day.
No better illustration can be made
of the opportunity which the South
has for feeding cattle for market in
competition with more northern
States than the following table.
The values in this table are based
on timothy hay at $40 per ton and
! corn AT 6s cents per 5ashei, which
are about the market values of these
two commodities. A price per pound
of protein, carbohydrates and fat is
applied to the contents of each feed
as found by published tables of
chemical analysis. 1t is seen that
cotton seed hulls and cotton seed
meal and Forest City Feed Meal are
selling very much below their values.
OF course, the question of digesti-
bility enters largely into conside-
ration of feed values. Published
tables of digestibility show cotton
seed products have a high rate of
digestibility and are readily assimi-
lated by cattle:
