FEEDING COTTON SEED
MEAL TO WORK STOCK
(By r. NJ. Murphy.)

On many farms the work stock
receive a ration of corn for grain,
and grass hays, corn fodder, millet,
sorghum, or other strictly carbohy-
drate roughage. Corn itself is high
in the starches and sugars, so that
the ration is very one-sided, and the
animals are not supplied the proper
amount of protein to keep them in
first-class condition for hard work.
They need protein to make up for
the wear on their muscular tissues.
An excess of carbohydrate feed, such
as corn, heats the animals unduly
when at hard work in hot weather.
By replacing part of the corn in the
ration with cotton seed meal, the
amount of protein may be increased
and the heating effect lessened SUI
flciently to give satisfactory results.
One pound of cotton seed meal will
replace two pounds of corn in such
ration. With corn worth nearly
as much per 100 pounds as cotton
seed meal, this means a cheaper ra-
ton.
The following may assist the feed
er in taking advantage of this ad-
vice without any harmful effects re-
sulting:
do not feed an animal more
than two pounds of cotton seed meal
per day at any time.
2-Begin by feeding at first a small
quantity of cotton seed meal mixed
with other grain, gradually increas-
ing to the desired amount.
3-Cotton seed meal is fed to best
advantage with crushed corn or 9TH
err similar fine material, with which
it may be mixed, but it is being fed
with satisfactory results with ear
corn. This latter method of feeding
is thoroughly satisfactory if the
stock will eat the cotton seed meal.
In some instances they do not take
to it readily. Even where ear corn
is fed it might be possible to supply
small quantity of crushed corn,
wheat bran, ETC., with which to mix
the cotton seed meal and thereby in
duce the stock to eat it.
4-If you have been feeding fifteen
pounds of corn per horse per day,
gradually replace some of the corn
with cotton seed meal until you
are feeding eleven pounds of corn
and two pounds of cotton seed meal.
Four pounds of corn saved means
eight ears.
The proportion of cotton seed meal
to corn in the ration should not be
greater than one pound of cotton
seed meal to five pounds of corn.
Cotton seed meal weighs one and
one-half pounds per quart.
Divide the days allowance of cot
ton seed meal into three equal por-
tons and feed with the corn.
A full ration of grain or roughage
for horses or mules varies from one
to one and one-half pounds per hun
dred weight of animal.
Do not feed more than one pound
of cotton seed meal per day to brood
mares.

BROODED OVER
OLD TROUBLE

Wednesday morning about 4:30
O'Clock, at Ralph Lyle's barn, about
two miles south of the city, Bush
Campbell shot and wounded Boring
Kelley. two or three times, the
wounds being only flesh wounds,
neither of which it is thought will be
of a serious nature.
According to reports received of
the shooting, bad blood has existed
between the two men for several
months, Campbell having knocked
Kelley down some time ago while he
was hunting in the formers commu'
nifty and they having become en-
gagged in an alteration. At that
time it is stated that Campbell swore
that he would kill Kelley. However,
Campbell was arrested here by local
officers, but not until he had given
fight TO the police officers and depu-
ties, and having wounded Policeman
Brumit 1t is stated that Kelley hay-
ing been a witness against him in
this case enraged Campbell.
Campbell was given a hearing at
Jonesboro and was given a sentence
in the workhouse, where he spent a
few weeks and made his escape when
the Workhouse gang was engaged in
work near this city. Since that time
he has been living, it is stated in
the community where his father re-
sides, in the upper part of the Sth
civil district, 1t is stated that the
sheriff of the county and his depu-
ties have had for some time four
warrants for the arrest of Campbell
but that so far they have not apprc-
hended him.
The shooting of this morning APP
pears to be the result of Campbell's
having brooded over the old alterca-
ton. 1t is stated that Mr.. Kelley
had gone to the barn to milk and was
milking COW when Campbell walk
ed in on him and attacked him. 1t
is stated that a general fight ensued
between the two men, and that
Campbell beat Kelley over the head
with the pistols, he having had one
in each hand. 1t was during the
fight, it is stated, that Campbell
fired two shots, which struck Kelley.
One wound is through the shoulder
and appears to have been fired from
the back, while the other shot en-
tered the hip. Both are slight
wounds.
Following the shooting Mr.. Kelley
was removed to his home near by
and medical attention was summon
ed. Campbell, according to wit
nesses, walked away from the scene
following the Embreeville railroad
and it is believed that he went to the
community in which his father,
Fuller Campbell lives.
Folsom Leonard, who resides in
the community where the shooting
took place, and who states that he
was within two hundred yards of the
barn when the shooting was done,
states that he heard only two shots
fired and believes that these were
the only shots fired. Mr.. Leonard
states that in ten or fifteen minutes
after the shooting he saw Campbell
leaving the barn and walking up the
railroad.
Kelley is about 35 years of age and
has family. He is an employe of
Ralph Lyle. Campbell is about q
years of age.
Bloodhounds and deputy sheriffs
left for the scene of the shooting i'm
mediately, but the dogs could make
no progress and they as well as the
men gave up the hunt for the time
being.

JAPAN CLAIMS TO Be
A WORLD POWER
PREMIER SAYS THAT NATIONS OF
THE WEST MUST FULLY
RECOGNIZE THIS
Try Associated PrcssD


TOXIC, Mar 6. From great
power Japan has become a world
power, and the nations of the west
can no longer make light of Japan's
strength, particularly of her preemin-
ent position and immense influence in
the affairs Of the far east, according
to Premier Count Okuma in an arti-
Gle in his popular monthly, New
Japan.
He calls his contribution "Japans
New Position in the Worlds Diplo-
macy" In general way it bears out
the feeling of observers in the Orient
that Japan's policy of the future will
be that of trying to play the pre-
dominating role in China on account
of her power and special position and
interests.
He says: Japan, which half cen
tury ago was an insignificant and mere
island empire, isolated in corner of
the extreme east, has now become one
of the worlds powers and come to
sway a great influence. Japan finds
herself with Great Britain, the United
States, Germany, France and Russia
and every move made by Japan af-
fects in some way or other the inter
ests of those great nations and reflects
on the situation of the world. Even
Great Britain, which took pride in
her worldwide influence and stuck
to her favorite traditional policy OF
honored isolation was compelled to
! conclude an offensive and defensive
alliance with Japan, casting aside her
national pride of isolated indepen-
dence-a proof that Britain recogniz-
ed the greatness of Japans national
activity and future ascendaHcy. The
great work and rapid development
Japan achieved in the comparatively
short period of half century after
the country's opening to international
intercourse favorably compares and
completes with the progress and de-
velopment attained by the occidental
countries through several centuries
and after hard laborious experience
of wars and revolutions"
He points out that adhesion to the
London peace agreement by which
the entente allies mutually promised
to make peace only In common gives
Japan the right of speech at the peace
conference to be held at the conclu-
sion of the war not only on questions
pertaining to the Orient but also on
matters concerning the Balkans, the
disposition of the colonies of the
powers in Africa, and their territories
in the Pacific--in fact, on all problems
that may arise, on equal footing with
the other great world powers.
The premier concludes: "ln short,
Japan's participation in the London
agreement makes her an important
element in the maintenance of the
balance of power in the world. Prac'
tically. peace east of Suez has been
and is maintained by Japan. Oui
nation has come to sway a great
power by which we can control the
peace or disorder of Asia and effect
the issue OF the great European war;
