with something else. If 1 did not have any peavine hay, l would cer- tainly put some cotton seed meal in the ration of a hard working horse, unless l had plenty of oats, and they were cheap"
 This is important testimony from the highest authority, and should in- terest every farmer and horse owner in the South. We send thousands of dollars into the Northwest every year for corn. We send into the North west every year thousands of dollars worth of our Cotton Seed Meal. No- body is benefited by thls but the railroads. If we keep our cotton seed meal at home to feed it will help us, and Dr. Butler says it will help our horses-and Dr. Butler knows.

Prescribing Qualifications of the Di. reetors of st. Francis Levee
 Board.

The bill introduced in the senate a few days ago by Senator Frank De- Rositt, of Forrest City, prescribing the qualifications of the directors of the St. Francis levee district, has at tracted considerable attention throughout Eastern Arkansas. and a bitter contest is anticipated before the bill is disposed of finally. Senator Patterson, of Woodruff county, is lead Ing the opposition to the measure. The bill was read twice and referred to the committee on levees, of which MT. DeResitt Is chairman.

COTTON SEED MEAL.
Practical Stock Feeding in the South Questions Answered by Emil
 nent Authority.

At meeting of the South Carolina Live Stock Association held at Colum- bia, S. O., on Feb. sth and 9th, an ad- dress full of practical advice, backed by scientific knowledge, was delivered yby the eminent Dr. Tate Butler, of Feeding in the South" Dr. Butler is a recognized authority on feeds and feeding and what he says should have special weight and influence through out the entire South, and that part of his discussion touching the feeding of horses, mules and colts is of special importance to the Southern breeder.
 In the official report of the general discussion which followed Dr. But ler's address, this occurs. Dr. Butler was asked:
 You speak of feeding horses cot ton seed meal. What about the mus cular forming properties of cotton seed meal, on the animal, compared to corn and oats?'
 Dls DoliCl. 4ICIC IS about feeding horses cotton seed meal for me to state that if you had horse that you were feeding, If pounds of corn daily, that you could take out four pounds of that corn and put in two pounds of cotton seed meal and get better results. Not because corn is not the best feed we have for SUD- plying heat and energy, but there is another thing needed. When that horse supplies you muscular energy he is burning up his muscles just as you burn coal in furnace to supply energy to run the machinery in your factories, and he has got to have something to build up those wasted muscles, and corn does not contain it in sufficient quantity. A little cot ton seed meal is better than an addi- tional amount of corn. When you are already feeding your horse stover and ten pounds of corn, 1 would rather have two pounds of cotton seed meal added than four pounds of corn. I would rather have two pounds of cotton seed meal added than four pounds of oats. Corn is splendid horse feed, but we are wasting two million dollars year in South Carolina feeding all-corn ration"
 In what proportion would you feed corn and cotton seed meal?"
 pr. Butler: "That will depend upon your hay"
 Plenty of hay?"
 Dr. Butler: An average ration for a thousand-pound horse doing real hard work, is about 15 pounds of grain and F to 15 pounds of hay. In stead of 15 pounds of fodder and l5 pounds of corn, would take pounds of corn, would take pounds of pea vine hay and to 8 pounds of stover, and then add 10 pounds of corn and pounds of cotton seed meal, and get better results. If had oats to feed and had some peavine hay or clover hay, 1 do not think I would feed any cotton seed meal at all, because 1t is bad to feed unless you can mix it

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Tho Change From the Era When
Wives Were Taken by Force.

Marriage customs have changed ev-
srywhere with the advance of clviliza.
ton. Anglo-Saxons in ancient times, it
10 said. used to capture their wives by
force from their fathers or their hus-
bands, 1t did not matter which.
This was before Augustine came to
preach Christianity. Then purchase was
more common than capture, although
the latter seems to have been frequent
enough to the reign of Etbelbert to
need regulation by law BY this law
man might run away with a woman,
provided he afterward paid her pre-
vious owner, be he father or husband,
30 shlllings. If 1t was husband who
had thus been deprived Of his wife, the
woman's captor had not only to pay
him the fine, but also to buy him an
other wife, In any case the stolen wo-
man belonged to her captor.
If o man had purchased his bride In
the days of Ethelbert and afterward
concluded he had paid too much for
her, 1t was lawful for him to return her
to her former owner and claim again
the purchase price, provided that he
had not previously expressed satisfac-
ton by making the bride present on
tho morning after the wedding.
The next step was the ''foster lien,"
when the bride price was paid ON the
day Of espousal and was supposed to
compensate the parent for the cost Of
bringing up his daughter 1t seems,
however, that this soon fell into disre-
pute, as there was no law against the
father engaging his daughter to nu-
merous suitors, taking from each the
'.foster lien' and, of course, cheating
all but one on the wedding day, which
at that time was only the day of be-
trothal, when the sutton gave wed"
o. pledge for the future performance Of
his contract. II the sutton did not claim
his bride within two years after the
wedding day, he forfeited all right to
her and to whatever money or goods he
had paid for her. II the woman and her
father broke their promises, the father
bad to give the sutton four times az
much as the sutton had already paid
him.
As civilization advanced the bride
price was given to the woman herself
and became her dowry, while nova
days the tables are frequently turned,
and the bride settles the money on her
husband.

SOME BIG BITES.
They Show the Power Of the Jaws Of
the Crocodile.

They Show the Power Of the Jaws Of
the Crocodile.
The power of the jaws of the croco-
ollie is terrific. says Sir Samuel Baker
In his book on wild beasts.
Once, he continues, he had the metal
Of a large hook the thickness Of ordlna-
ry telegraph wire completely bent to-
gether, the barbed point being pressed
tightly against the shank and rendered
useless. This compression was caused
by the snap Of the jaws when seizing
a live duck which he had used as a
bait, the hook being fastened beneath
one wing. On one occasion he found a
fish weighing seventy pounds bitten
clean through as II divided by knife.
This, again, was the work Of the snap
Of the jaws of a crocodile.
A Frenchman, M. Paul Bert, once
made experiments on the strength Of a
crocodile's jaws by means of a dyna'
mometer. He found that crocodile
weighing 100 pounds exerted force OF
808 pounds in closing his jaws. The
lion has an enormous jaw power. On
one occasion an African traveller push
ed the butt end of his gun into lions
mouth, and the pressure Of the jaws
cracked 1t as though 1t had been STRUCK
by q steam hammer.

He Was Overdue.

The master Of large southern plan
tation would fire of small cannon
every evening at 9 o'clock as a signal
to the people living on his land. One
evening at the time for the usual boom
the master was away. Two Of his ne
groes, John and Jim, had long desired
to fire the cannon, but had never had
a chance to do so. They decided tt
make the trial on this afternoon, but
thought that It would be best for then
to have the cannon make no sound. II
was decided that Jim should hold 9

cannon while John applied the fuse
The piece was touched of, there was 1
great boom, and John looked up to FIND
that his friend was gone.

AN OLD PRovERB.
"A Penny Saved 10 a Penny Earned"
Ia Almost Universal,


Like most of these wise old proverbs,
"a penny saved 10 penny earned" is
probably, In some form or other, uni
versal. In Germany there are three
forms Of TIA penny saved is penny
gained" ('sErsparter Pfennig list SO gut

twopence got'' c'Ein esparter Pfennig

spared Is penny saved" C"Quien come
y dexa, dos veces pone la mesao. In
Dutch. "a penny spared is better than
a form gained" C'Een stuiver gespaard
IL better dan cen guldan gewonnen'O.
In Danish, IA penny in time is as good
as a dollar" C'En SHILLING er Tide saa

A close listed old farmer thought
there was a good chance to get some
legal advice from the young man
gratis, SO he dropped into his office,
told him how glad he was that he had
come into town, because the old Judge
was getting superannuated, and con-
trived in the course Of his talk to get
the legal information he wanted, and
then bidding him good morning he was
about to leave when the young man
asked for his fee. "What fort" said
the old man. "For legal advice" re-
piled the young lawyer. "How much
is til" give dollars" The farmer
declared he would never pay it, and
the young lawyer told him IL he didn't
he would sue him. So the farmer
trotted down to see the old judge,
whom he found hoeing In his gar
den, and said, Judge. I went this
morning just simply to make a neigh
borly call on that young scamp Of
lawyer who has just come into town
and he charged me S." Served you
