This Is Cottonseed Meal.

Digestible nutrients.-Protein, 81 per
cent; carbohydrates and fat, Alp per cent.
COttOnSeed meal is the richest in
protein of all the common cow feeds
on the market. 1t is usually the cheap
est source of protein available, but it
does not have the best physiological
effect upon the COW, often causing d.
gestive troubles if fed in large quanti-
ties for long periods. At first it is adj
visable to start With l to 2 pounds a
day, gradually increasing the quantity
if no bad results are observed. In
some herds in the North IS high as 3
to 6 pounds a day are fed without bad
results. In the South there seems to
be no limit in this direction.
Cottonseed meal is q highly cOncen-
trated feed and should, if possible, be
fed in q mixture with some bulky feed
like bran. It can be fed to better adj
vantage when the roughage contains
an ample quantity of succulent feed.
While it's physiological effect in the
North at least is not good as compared
with most other COW feeds, it's cheap
ness and the fact that in time the
COWS seem to overcome this tendency
to digestive trouble from it are rap
idly giving it great prominence as a
cheap source of protein for dairy cows

Each soldier tower there" is to be
allowed one Christmas package from
home, and only one. Here is a small,
waterproof portfolio containing a
writing tablet, envelopes and a pencil.
The donor might slip a few unmounted
photographs in it, too. It is made
Of long strip of black oilcloth folded
up at the ends and machine stitched
down to form the pockets. An extra
row of machine stitching across one
end makes a casing for the pencil.
The portfolio is shown closed at the
top Of the picture. With oil colors
bright roses or the flags of the allies
or figures clad in khaki are painted on
these portfolios.

Christmas wouldn't seem like Christ
mas without the lovely bags Of all
kinds that women delight in. Some Of
them are rich and splendid and others
charm by their daintiness. Here are
two that belong to these extremes.
The shopping bag is Of black satin bro
caded with silver and has a handsome
silver mounting. The other is pow
der bag of lavender satin ribbon with a
big ribbon pansy on the front Of it.
The petals are tinted with water col

The dolls of yesterday-so beautiful
and so cheap-they are no more. 1t is
the war. But no little maid need be
without a doll, for it is the easiest
thing eyer to make one of heavy do
nestle and paint a face on it. One
can buy a pattern of any Of the pat
tern companies and make the body,
which is to be stuffed with saWdust.
Such a doll dressed and making her
appearance at Christmas time will be
as much loved as the most fragile
Waxen beauty that ever came from
overseas.

ANGRY CLOUD KING.

"Go on, little rain-drops," said the
King of the Clouds.
Hurry up, Nurse Fog, give the Mist
grandchildren an airing. Let them see
the earth for a time, and let them
keep the earth people from seeing far.
You must help them with that, Nurse
Fog. There is no one who can do that
work better than you," ended the King
of the Clouds.
"Yes, SIR" said Nurse Fog, "I've al
ways been pretty famous for the way
l manage the Mist grandchildren and
the way l look after my business.
When l get to work people can't see
far. They say, Isn't the fog terrible
this morning? We can hardly see
across the street.
"Yes, like to do my work WELL 1t
gives me great deal of pleasure. And
1t makes no difference whether the
earth people can see or not when
there is fog, though l really am glad
they cant, when | can See perfectly.
It's so easy when one Is the fog one
self" And Nurse Fog looked very
happy. Only the King of the Clouds
and his friends would have known
though that Muse Fog was so happy
for the others could not have seen her
But the King of the Clouds was wear
ing his magic fog glasses which make
the fog quite clear to him. Imagine II
fog being clear to anyone! 1t shows
how magic are his glasses!
"Go on, little grandchildren do just
as your good old Nurse Fog suggests
every time. We've had her in the fam
lily always and we're not going to lose
her, so mind her, grandchildren. mind
her" the King of the Clouds said.
And do more work, rain-drops," he
continued. Eyes all Of you work and
play for all you are worth. l want to
have good storm, do"
Just then some people down on the
earth looked out of their windows and
said, as the rain drops spattered right
ON their heads:
"Oh dear, the rain still keeps up,
doesn't it?"
Well, wasn't the King of the Clouds
mad then!
Ibid you hear that, Nurse Fog?" he
shouted.
"Did you hear that rain-drops, my
fine army, my mist grandchildren"
And they all spa,tered and said, 1--WE
heard it, Your Majesty"
"Then just punish them for that"
the King of the Clouds said. "Thats

Just twisting 1t Ill upside down-up-

"Why did that make you so angry?'
asked the army of rain-drOps. Aren't

Mocha, also written Moliha, is the
name of an ancient city In Arabia on
the shore of the Red sea. 1t was for
merly the capital of the province of
Yemen in Arabia. 1t is 80 miles north
west of the Strait Of Babel Mandcb,
and 130 miles northwest of Alden.
From early in the sixteenth century
until the middle of the seventeenth
century Mocha was the port from
which the coffee of Yemen was prin-
rirally exported, hence coffee grown
in that part of Arabia and shipped
through the port of Mocha was known
as Mocha coffee. The coffee of Yemen
