"Now just listen to the logic OF
what I am saying" continued Justice
Harlan, thoroughly warmed up to the
subject. the more so because his cigar
was out and he saw no chance of re-
lighting 1t. "A wind moving in a
southerly direction cannot possibly
carry smoke north, can it?"
To all Of which the harassed and
puzzled conductor tried to turn a deaf
ear. He sought refuge In superior
sort Of silence, since the justice was
too large a man to make a personal
encounter entirely safe. a.
AS the car reached their destina-
ton, just above u street on Four
teenth, both men alighted. Chief JUS
tice Fuller stepped down from the
car and gravely offered Justice Har-
Ian the stump of his cigar as light
er. It was his third! To his credit,
though, he did not smile nor make
any reference to that fact. Nor did
he pass any opinion on the case that
had just been tried before him. Which
goes to show what truly courteous
gentleman the late chief justice Of the
United States really was.

Chief Justice Fuller Was Courteous

evening on the back platform of a
car, preferring that to a seat in order

Ing, "Cottonseed Meal for Horses
quotes approving1y Gebek, a recog.
nized authority on horse feeding, as
follows: Draft horses do we'll on
ration containing two parts of cot
tonseed meal" He then adds on his
own account: The use of cottonseed
meal for horses will be greatly ex-
tended at the south If experiments re-
veal equally good results" Numer-
Gus experiments have revealed and
confirmed these very results.
In truth, cottonseed meal as feed
Tor horses has passed far beyond the
stage of experiment. To put cotton.
seed meal into the ground without first
running 1t through the inside of an
animal seems to me to be a direct in
suit to bountiful Providence. If our
farmers were to take their own freight
free, cottonseed meal, feed 1t first to
their farm animals and next to their
farm lands--oh, what would come
of It?
There are in the Is cotton produc-
ing states today 5,69S.114 head of
horses. 2.594,199 head of mules; each
one of these should eat at least one
pound day or four sacks of cotton
seed mea! annually. This would mean
brand new demand ON the cotton
seed meal market alone in the states
where IT Is produced, or 1,65S, 462 tons
per annum, or half million tons more
than is actually made.
The value of the commercial fertfi-
izers Is determined by the amount and
value OF their three ngredients-am-
monia, phosphoric acid and potash. In
the same way the value of horse feed
may be ascertafned by determining the
amount and value of its three principal
components = protein. carbohydrates
and ether extracts. One of the latest
estimates based on the value of many
Inherent animal feeds, places their
value as follows: Protein one and one
naif cents per pound, carbohydrates
one cent per pound, and ether extract
i've cents per pound.

GROWING GOOD THINGS
As General Rule Farmers Leave
Gardens to Women.
Good Seed, Proper Fertilization and
Care Are Essential to Profitable
Gardening-Main Thing Is to
Get Early Start.
By s. M. CLINTON. Illinois,


Inc farm garden is usually left r.
the women-folk, but they manage n
produce an average of over 5000 De,
acre every year. Sometimes four OIL
nVe times as much as the average
farmer produces from his general
crops.
AS a rule farmers pay little or no
attention to their gardens. although
they expect their wives to supply the
entire family with vegetables the year
round. The most the men-folk do
is 70 grudgingly pillow up a plot of
ground. harrow it perhaps once or
twice and then leave the rest to
providence and the women.
IL more attention were paid to the
selection of good seeds and the use of
proper fertilizers In addition to stable
manure, and If the women-folk could
have the services of the hired man
three or four hours week. they
would be able to double their garden
crop.
Even IL the farmers wife cannot
buy bone meal. nitrate soda and
other vegetable fertilizers. but must
depend upon what manure she can
wheel to her garden plot in wheel
barrow, she can by proper methods
not only increase the yield of her
garden but do it with less work.
The main thing is to get an early
start with good seed. This requires
hotbed. one Of the simplest things
In the world but which is In use
In comparatively few farmers gar
dens. The hotbed should be made
early in February in the north. A
