cottonseed meal that there Is likely
to be in this country this year, special
lists in the United States agriculture
department believe that the farmer
has better opportunity to make
money by feeding beef cattle than fol
some years past, The feeding value
of cottonseed meal has been recog
nized by agricultural authorities fol
some time and large quantities OF II
are exported annually to Europe where
the farmers, especially those IN Den
mark, are also aware of its usefulness
1t now seems likely that the price OF
cottonseed meal will continue to be
considerably lower than in recent years
and the American farmer should there
fore utilize it to advantage to make
cheap gains.
Two causes combine to lower the
price of cottonseed by-products. In
the first place the cotton crop In the
South this year is good, and in the
seriously interfered with by the Euro
pean war. 1t Is estimated that this
year 100000 bales of cotton will be
produced in the United States. This
should yield 6.6S0,000 tons of seed.
All of this, of course, will not be
crushed. but If last years proportions
hold good again about two million
tons of cottonseed meal will be avail
able. Last year approximately 100000
tons were sent abroad. Under present
conditions It is not probable that any
thing like this quantity will be export
ed this year, and, as the cotton crop Is
larger than before, it is safe to as
sumo that the quantity Of cottonseed
900 tons more than last year. This
situation has already resulted in
substantial drop in the price of cotton
seed by-products. Cottonseed meal
can now be bought in the South at
prices ranging from $22. to $24 per ton
instead of $27 to $31 demanded last
year. An even greater decrease has
taken place in the price of cottonseed
bulls, which are now selling at from
$3.50 to $3.50 ton instead of 81 to
50 a ton.
At these prices cottonseed meal Is
approximately SIS per ton cheaper
than linseed meal, and in addition its
feeding value is a tride higher. It
seems obvious, therefore. that the cat
tie feeder all over the country should
utilize cottopseed meal to a far great
or extent than he has done In the
past.
This meal is very rich in protein,
and it is usually considered that its
feeding value Is at least twice that OF
corn. In other words, one pound of
cottonseed meal is equal to two pounds
Of corn for feeding cattle. A small
portion of eottonseed meal has an even
greater relative value where the ra-
ton would otherwise be composed en-
tirely of feeds high In carbohydrates,
such as corn, corn slower and timothy
hay. This Is extremely important to

ton of pay, Workmen of all grades will be required to work but hours a day, instead of 10, as heretofore.
 Economic conditions governing the labor situation throughout the United States have shown a general tendency towards an hour day, and the shortening of ! labor hours was adopted by the government several years ago. It was found upon actual test in both arsenals and navy yards that the cost of production of arms and of battleships was but slightly if at all increased by the change. The reason why the pro- duction of a man working hours so nearly equals that of one work ing two hours longer during the same day, is' easily accounted for in increased efficiency, and the Remington Companies in follow ing the lead set by the Govern- ment. are influenced by the same considerations. They particu- larly desire the best class of men obtainabIe and the maximum eff ficiency of each. To that end and with the view of granting the fullest measure of contentment dI1Q. reward IalGIlIul S6rF1c0 1n a, substantial way, the decision to reduce the working hours of their employees was arrived at.
 In pursuance of this determi1l-5 ation, the following order was to-day, July 14. issued by Mr. Marcellus Hartley Dodge, Pres fdent of the Remington Arms and Ammunition Company and of the Union Metallic Cartridge Co.,
 ssThe management has had un- der consideration for the past few months some plan whereby the employees of the Remington Arms and Ammunition Company, and the Union Metallic Cartridge Company, might receive tangi- ble recognition of the value of their services, and have decided this would best be shown by re- ducing the number of hours con- stituting a days work.

 Just as it has held all it's meetings in secret the Stratford avenue bridge commission has secretly planned to advertise for bids for the new struc- =tIre over the Pequonnock river at the site of the present bridge. Steno- graphers in the office of the board of contract and supply today were preparing drafts of an advertisement which was intended for one local newspaper only
 There are several firms engaged in bridge building in this city but the idea was that the advertisement would newspaper and agents of the local firms might not see it So, in keep Isagsvvith the policy of the present ad- mi nistration, only outside firms wouid he+eya chance to bid on The contract md none of the local men would get in bid.
