COttOnSccd Meal for Mules.

. A North Carolina reader ask:
What kind Of cOttonseed meal is
used for feeding mules, the kind mer-
chants call COW meal or fertilizer
meal? Which is cheaper, cottonseed
meal at 50 hundred or wheat bran
at $3.50 per hundred? ?"
There is a low grade of cottonseed
meal. which is made by grinding large
quantities of hulls with the meal that
is called "cottonseed feed meal" and
this may be what our reader says the
merchants call "cow meal" But thia
only illustrates how important it is
that the man who buys meal should
buy it OH its analysis and not by name
or by the merchants statements about
1T. The analysis is on a card or tag on
each sack, and the best meal to buy.
f,r any purpose, is the one which con-
tains the most protein, nitrogen or
ammonia. That is the only safe rule
In buying COttonseed meal. If or one

gen and on another as protein. it j.
still easy to tell which is cheaper. ff
only the nitrogen or ammonia is Ei,-

during the past few days there has
been a decided change in the coloring
Of the canvass. The French and Brit
ish have launched a huge offensive
and il reports are to be credited, sue
cess has attended their efforts. At
the same time Russia has shown
signs Of resuming her fighting form
and the submarine losses Of the past

they we're for the preceding week.

much stress on the dark picture OF

THE HAZARDS OF WAR

what chance has a soldier Tor MIS-
life when he goes into modern war
fare? This is question of intepse
interest not only to our boys who
have been called for military service
but also to the anxious relatives and
friends whom they will leave behind.
Varying estimates Of the percentage
of losses in battle have been made.
Roger Babson, one Of the most au'
thoritative American statisticians, re-
Gently gave out the results OF ms
study of mortality in the French army
during the first three years of the war
and he states that fourteen men out
Of every fifteen have been safe thus
far.
The fatalities during the first two
years Of the tragedy, Mr. Babson says
were much higher than they are at
the present time. Under conditions
now existing manpower is being con,
served and the eminent statistician III
forms us that not more than one IN
thirty is killed
Concerning wounds the same au'
thority says only one man in five hun
dred loses limb, "a chance no greater
than hazardous conditions at home.
On this point Mr. Babson says;
"Most of the wounds sustained i'll
the trenches are clean-cut and of a
nature that few weeks in the hos
pitaI makes the subject as fit as ever.
But 100000 French soldiers have been
discharged from the army on account
Of wounds during the three years of
the war"
"Fighting in the trenches, most of
the wounds arc in the top Of the head,
simply scalp wounds Practically
speaking. a wound is either fatal or
slight, but with few in between these
two extremes"
