Only within recent years has cot!
tonseed meal as feed for cattle been:
generally recognized in the north and
west, although it has been used for:
feed In the south for many years. The:
past winter saw prices of cottonseed
meal relatively low-from $24 to $28
per ton in the southland at these fig
ures it was preferable to linseed oil
meal, which sold below $3S per ton.
When considering concentrated feed
like cottOnseed meal or linseed oil meal
the cost Of the two commodities
should be compared and the cheaper
one used, according to the new farm
er's bulletin No. 665, "Cottonseed Meal
For Feeding Beef Cattle" The ex-
periments outlined in this bulletin COW
er several years work, in which beef
calves were fed cottonseed meal, vary
Ing the periods without detrimental
effects. In one experiment the daily
ration Of three lots of calves was di-
vided as follows:
Lot No. l. Cottonseed meal, 2.S4
pounds; cottonseed hulls, IA pounds;
mixed alfalfa hay, $50 pounds.
Lot No 2. Cottonseed meal, 2.34
pounds; corn on cob meal, III pounds;

alfalfa hay, 5.47 pounds.
Lot No 3. Cottonseed meal, 2.38

PROTECTING Shade Trees.

Governor Walsh of Massachusetts
has recently signed an act defining the
powers and duties Of tree wardens and
their deputies and providing for the
better protection Of public shade trees
1t includes Jail sentence for not more
than six months or a fine of not more
than $50 for any one who willfully,

shrub or growth which does not belong
to him and which serves useful pur-

ting down a tree or shrub within the
limits of state highway without au-
thority. Another section carries $50
fine for attaching advertisements upon
or painting or marking any tree locat-
ed in a public place or highway except
for the purpose Of protecting 1t or the

Summer Care Of Poultry.

Provide the birds with clean, roomy,
we'll ventilated summer colony houses
where they will not be unduly crowd
ed and where they will have fresh air
to breathe at all times. Stunted pull
lets are too often produced by lack of
proper sleeping and roOsting quarters
during the summer growing period. The
feeder should always endeavor to keep
the pullets growing constantly without
any check, thus doing away with any
danger Of retarding the time Of matur-
ity or of reducing the ultimate size and
vigor Of the mature birds.

There was terrible secret society
in the east which was organized for
wholesale and systematic murder. Its
members called themselves "Hashha-
sin"-whence, by the way, came our
word assassin used to get up
courage for their deeds of atrocity by
doses of the drug called hashish. This
is obtained from Indian hemp, and 1t
is from the seed vessels that the sub
stance is taken which yields the poison
so famed in history and romance. 1t

nal. Perhaps with an old timer it
might he very good to start with this
kind provided he could get a reduc-
ton in the price. In many cases some
birds will not mate up promptly, and
in our experience we have known
cases where it was impossible to keep
a pair together.
Very frequently a room can be fitted
up in a stable or shed loft that will
answer admirably as pigeon loft, but
where it can be afforded more pleasure
will probably be taken with a little
building used wholly as pigeon cote.
One of the most healthy, best produc-
ing and most profitable flocks of SQUAD
producers we are familiar with is kept
in loft, the floor Of which is covered
five or six inches every spring and fall
with dry earth from the farm. This
earth becomes very dry, makes clouds
Of dust and the interior of the loft is
not so clean and attractive as one we'll
cared for, but the dust prohibits the
possibility of there being any insect
vermin about The interior of the loft
being perfectly dry the soil is always
light and healthful. This is gone over
weekly with close toothed rake. Be-
fore this is done the shelves and boxes
are scrubbed clean. ALL the dirt that
the close toothed rake will gather up
: is raked off and taken away Other
than this no special attention is given
to cleanliness. The earth gathers all
the dirt. The droppings are quickly
dried up with the dust and earth.
When the nest boxes and shelves are
scraped on to the floor all that would
produce an odor is gone. After the
Matching Of each pair the nest pan and
box are thoroughly cleaned SO that
there cannot be any accumulation of
filth. This would not be considered the
ideal plan of caring for loft, yet it is
successful plan that may be followed
when large number are to be cared
for with but little labor
1t is best to place the nests against
the north, east and west walls.
The old style of having perches or
roosting places in the oft has been
abolished by up to date pigeon keepers.
They are considered dangerous.
Running boards in front Of the nests
are not seen any more, as they afforded
too good a chance for a fighting cock
to torment busy parents.

1T WAS VERY CURIOUS.
When the Whistle Test Failed All the

A Partisan journal tells little story
of a young Partisan who in civil life
had long worn q monocle in his left
eye and had continued the habit as an
officer He had been wounded, was
cured and asked to be returned to the
front. He was to be examined and
concealed the monocle, thinking he
might be charged with myopia in one
eye. When the chief surgeon exam
ined him, after looking well over his
face, he said sharply, whistle"
The soldier whistled like blackbird.
This is curious" said the surgeon,
and, calling a young assistant, he said
again to the soldier, whistle" He
whistled again. "rhat is curious"
said the young assistant.
Another surgeon entered and the pa

time to whistle,
"Ah," said the surgeon, this is Gu

When the soldier arrived at his regi-

by the examiner. This surgeon said In
his turn, ''Will you please whistler"

the surgeon.

PIGEONS FOR PROFIT.

Some Information as to the Growing Of
Squads For Market.
The pigeon house should be erected
on a well drained plot of land facing
south or southwest. Pigeons will
stand any amount of cold and raise
young, but a drafty or damp house
will cause sickness. The floor of the
pigeon loft had best be foot or two
above ground and made of double
flooring, with heavy building paper be-
tween.

birds to him and argues they are as

MARS AND MARRIAGE.
Welded Life In the United States Army
and Navy.

Cupid doesn't let the fortune Of the
Newport girl or the lack of fortune of
the Cheyenne girl interfere with his
arrangements when he gets his strateg-
ic dispositions planned and his forces
mobiiized," writes Judson 9. Welliver
in Munsey's Magazine. The subject
of the article is marriage In the Amer
lean army and navy, and he argues
that as a rule the officers of these serv-
Ices marry young and happily:
BE it Bar Harbor or Long Beach,
Portland or Panama, east or west,
north or south, your young man in the
blue and gold Is accoutered to take care
of himself socially. The uniform I'M
deniably helps. But it does more than
add touch of color to the social land

DON'T BE OBSTINATE.

To contend for the right is one

CHARITY.

1t is an old saying that charity
begins at home, but this is no reason
it should not go abroad. A man
should live with the world as a
citizen of the world. He may
have a preference for the particular
quarter or square or even alley in
which he lives, but he should have
a generous feeling for the welfare

LIVE STOCK POINTERS.

Swill sours very quickly In
warm weather. Keep the troughs
clean, because the pigs never
thrive on rotten food of any kind.
The man who is a poor feeder
might as well not begin to handle
high class stock. He is out of
the game at the start.
Always keep a mixture of char
coal, wood ashes, lime, sulphur,
salt and copperas before the hogs.
Either clover or alfalfa hay,
corn and cottonseed meal are the
cheapest and most efficient feeds
that you can use together with
corn silage for fattening steers.
Feed more oats and alfalfa and
less corn now, as corn lacks suffi-
cient muscle making protein for
the working horse.

BOMBARDMENT OF
RHEIMS is SEVERE

Paris, Feb. 26.-The bombardment of
Rheims was more severe on the night
of February 21-22 than at any other
time, according to c. Lenoir, deputy for
Rheims, who was in the city at that
time. Shells began falling at o'clock
and continued to rain down until 2:15
a. m. The projectiles came from all
parts of the German front from the
northwest to the east.
The gunners seemed to aim especial
1y at the first ward of the city, M
Lenoir said. This section hitherto had
been spared. Fire broke out in twenty
places at once and whole blocks COL
lapsed like card houses Official re-
ports show that over 1000 shells have
been thrown on the old working quar-
ter of the city, causing the destruction
of 400 houses. The bombardment was
resumed at 10 a. m. on, the twenty
second and continued intermittently
until 4 p. m.

Germans Take Kindly to the
Suggestions on Maritime War
Methods Made By Americans

Berlin. Feb. 26.-The American note
to Germany and Great Britain on the
question of foodstuffs to the civilian
populations Of belligerents and sub
marine activities at sea, a copy OF
which was handed to the German for.
eign office by Ambassador Gerard the
night of February %, has been sub
ject of exhaustive discussion for two
days between German imperial author
tiles and the American ambassador.
AS a result of this close attention
the German reply is gradually taking
definite form. The correspondent of
the Associated Press has been assured
by most competent and reliable
authority that the American proposals
are regarded as constituting salts
factory basis for negotiation and are
in many respects already acceptable.
Certain of the proposals, however, will
be modified.
Government circles have expressed
themselves as impressed by the
friendly spirits in which these pro-
posals have been advanced, and the
evident desire on the part of the Amer
lean administration to reach a solution
of the difficulties involved In the pres
