coTToNSEED MEAL AS A STOCK
 RATION.

Bulletin No. i31 issued by the South Carolina experiment station in l90i takes up quite fully the feeding of cot tonseed meal as concentrate with corn silage. and the results of expert menfs conducted indicate that the combination makes a very effective one and that cottonseed meal may be fed in much larger quantities than has been generally supposed was adyfsa- bic It was found that from five to six pounds of meal per COW with corn silage could be fed daily without af feeting the health of the animals. In fact. with such feed their health was exceptionally good The ration was consumed with great relish at the end of five months feeding period. the cows continuing to prefer the si- lage to bright. dry hay. and on no ra- ton which had been given them in previous years did they produce more milk and butter fat. The ration was also the cheapest that could be fed. it's value being considered due in large measure to the fact that well ripened corn rich in grain was used for silage. which furnished the carbohydrates necessary to balance the protein of the cottonseed meal

A FELLOWS CREDIT.

There is probably no respect h which the young man who is trying to get ahead in q business way should exercise greater care than in the pro lection of his credit. This means, first of all. that he should apply him. self and earn some money so as to es- tablish his credit. Later. when he bef- rows money. he should see to il that his payments are made at the times agreed on-before rather than after. And it is we'll for him to keep In mind the further fact that in the lending or money the banker not only takes stock of the visible ehatteIs and property or the borrower. his thrift and industry. but the kind of man he is and the reputation he bears fin the community This is where the definite advantage of clean living comes in. and it IS connection that should be emphasized and realized more frequently than IS the case. for with the banker II Is factor that is kept always in view The fellow who earns little and sduaD- ders this. and more. cannot borrow a shilling of any reputable banking house. and the reason is piain-ne negIeets his credit

pRuNlNe SHADE TREES.

A reader of these notes living al Museatine. la. writes inauiring what he can do to help the looks of some old and rather scraggly appearing box elders-wants to know if pruning will help them and when it is best to do It. While first hand inspection would be necessary 10 give the most valuable detail advice. we should think that such trees might be helped much by pruning provided they are not too Tar gone and possess reserve vitality sui ficient to withstand the pruning oper- ation. From the very nature of the case each tree should be pruned in such way that the new tree will have the best shape possible. The job may be done during the winter months or after the leaves are two-thirds out. but not while the sap is running. as the loss of vitality would be great. as in the case of the naples. Wonders can be done by the judicious pruning of shade trees. and an increasing num- her of property owners are putting the method into practice. thereby greatly improving the appearance of thelr premises.

She noticed while doing so that on each hand he had two thumbs.
 Upon reaching home she was haunt ed by the recollection of the poor man. and. although provisions of all kinds were very scarce. she determined to divide with him the few things she had in the house.
 After preparing the basket she re membered that she had not asked his name. but. recalling bis deformity. wrote on the cover. For the soldier with two thumbs Giving 1t to a trusted negro. with minute directions, she sent him on horseback to the camp.

A couple of years ago a young man whose home was in New York made a wager with leading journalist of the state that he could save $2o0 year for a period of two years over and above expenses and at ordinary day wages At the end of the period. dur. ing which he served eleven employers and al no job received more than S45 per month. he had in the bank $40. It goes without saying that the young fellow didn't booze or go a-gadding nights. He attended to business and saved every cent possible. The incl dent simply goes to show that the young man of today can get ahead at manual labor if he will. even if his progress along this line may be bit slow. Too many young fellows shin along from hand to mouth from year to year and. instead of having money in the bank. are steeped in debt to many of their associates.

In many apple markets this spring Is this proving the case. inferior-in fact. eull-stuff being lately dumped on the market and selling at so low a price as to seriously affect the sales of really high grade fruit.

Following the recent widespread in terest in irrigation as a means of re claiming lands previously barren for lack of rainfall. attention Is now be ing directed to the principle as a safe guard for some crops in states usually humid. but now and then subject 10 dry spells at critical seasons in the life of growing vegetables or matur- ing fruit. An Illinois farmer whose case was reported short time since has installed a pump. tank or large capacity and necessary pipes and hy- drants and has found the plant a very satisfactory investment. judging from the good results he has been able to secure from having water available when needed He n'i only uses the water on his big berry patch and In his vegetable garden in dry times. bur has also watered considerable areas Of his grain and hay fields Many is the crop of small fruit, garden truck. po- tatoes or corn that might be saved were 1t possible to water 1t fp such dry times.

Much of the fruit grown In eastern and central state orchards would be better colored and fetch higher price than it does if the central branches of bearing trees were cut out. giving open tops. so that the sun would have an opportunity to give the fruit the red color which is so popular with all buyers. It is in this matter of color chiefly that the western fruit. ripened by the genial caress of many days of sunshine. excels that produced farther east. where clear. bright days are the exception. perhaps. and not the rule. This cutting out the tops of fruit. par ticularly apple and peach trees. may deform the trees for a season. but if will in the end mean fruit borne lower down. better colored and more easily sprayed and harvested.
