Senate.

The question of increased school fund
distribution was again up for an airing
today, s~pringing up in the Senate during
the consideration of the common school
fund appropriation bill. The bill as it
came from the committee on appropria-
tions carried the sum of 49, 600, to
be divided during the two years, 1908
and 1909. When the bill was called up
by Senator Sample shortly after the
opening hour, Senator Adams offered an
amendment increasing the yearly amount
to $1,50O,O00, instead of $3.50, 900, and
this started the wordy warfare until the
luncheon hour, during which time the
discussion took wide range.

the finance committee just prior to its

House.

The House session was characterized
by a lively fight oven a bill to provide for
an increase of remuneration for members
of boards of supervisors in connection
with the duties and responsibilities that
the law imposes upon them as the official
c%aretakers and c%ustodians of the public
roads.
The opposition 20 this measure was
mainly from the rural sections, though
the bill passed eventually by a vote of
~ to AZ. Its further progress was frus-
tTatcd by a motion to reconsider, entered
by Mr.. Icwell.
The insurance circles were much inter.
ested, apparently, as numbers of well
known men in the pr tession were seen
about the corridors carly in the day. The
reason of this was made manifest when
Mr.. Bond, of Lawrence county, intro.
duced a bill in the House to require all
life, fire, accident and casualty insurance
companies doing business in the State
to invest a part of their legal reserve
in local securities, this bill being modelled
after the Texas plan. The eyes of the
insurance world will be focused on Mis-
sissippi until the bill is either passed or
killed.

able by death, or if, in the discretion OF
the jury, to hfc Imprisonment. 1t is be.
lieved that it will pass the Senate with
as decided a vote as that which marked
its passage through the House.
Mr.. Quin called up House bill to amend
Section 2l4t of the Code with regard to
the amount of exempt insurance that
can be paid executors or administrators
and not be subject to seizure for debt.
The former law makes in one section the
amount to read $1,000. and the other
$4,000, and the purpose is to reconcile q
direct conflict, and it was bis recollection
that the $1,000 exemption passed the
last Legislature without opposition. The

Preventing transformers.

To secure immunity from the attack
of grasshoppers next year the eggs
should be destroyed this fall, and this
advice will apply quite as we'll to a
thousand and one other insects which
hibernate in the ground. Grasshoppers
usually lay eggs in compact ground,
especially along the road and ditch
sides and in the uncultivated borders
of fields. Bare, high, sandy ground
and closely grazed pasture land are es-
pecially resorted to for egg laying.
Fall blowing to a depth of eight or
nine inches will effectually prevent any
of the young hoppers from reaching
the surface when they hatch in the
spring. Thoroughly harrow infested
land in late fall SO the surface is
torn up to the depth of an inch or
two. This will break open most of
the egg nests and prevent Matching.
Disking the land in early spring before
Matching time will also accomplish the
same purpose. - Denver Field and
Farm.

LINSEED MEAL.
A Safe and Reliable Feed Rich In
DigestibIe Protein.

Safe and Reliable Feed Rich In
DigestibIe Protein.
At present this seems to be the
market. Our corn crop is large, and
we propose to convert as much as pos
sible into dairy and meat products, and
to do so economically we must use
with it some feed that is rich in pro-
tein. Linseed meal fills this want, and
it does much more. Corn, though one
of our best feeds, is very heating and
fattening and frequently, if fed in large
quantities, produces a slightly fever
ish condition followed by a temporary
loss of appetite, constipation and a
rough coat. Where silage or roots are
fed these troubles rarely occur, but the
man who depends entirely on dry feed
for the winter should feed some linseed
meal regularly If only for its medicinal
effects. Half a pound day to each
horse will surprise you if you never
tried it. A handful or two for each hog
will increase the pork profits. The
dairy COW may be fed, according to the
milk she gives and he other feeds she
gets, from one to four pounds per day.
The growing stock should have some
as regularly as you give them their
salt, which is, Of course, every day.
There is very little difference between
the old and new process meal. The
new process usually carries a little
higher per cent of protein, but then the
protein is not quite as digestible. The
protein content should be guaranteed
on each bag and should not fall below
80 per cent for a good article. A low
protein content often means adultera-
ton or meal from poor quality seed.
A good pure article may analyze above
SO per cent protein, but 80 to 35 per
cent is the usual range.-Lighty in Ma
tional Stockman and Farmer.
