C0TT0NSEED MEAL FOR BULL
Cause of More Trouble in Raising
Vigorous Animal Than Any
Other One Thing.

Bulls should never be fed any cot
tonseed meal. Among all the trou-
bles of raising and caring for bulls
there is probably none other like cot
tonseed meal. There are many cases
of temporary steriity and probably
some of permanent sterility due to the
use Of cottonseed meal In the feed.

STRONG GAS SHOWING
IN OLD WATER WELL

Gibsland, Feb. 11.-Gas found in a
water well three miles southwest of
Gibsland, has caused a great deal Of
speculation in this vicinity, lately. The
we'll, which is about 26 feet deep, is
on land belonging to Luther Schaffer.
Another well located on the Same
place also has shown considerable gas
and the rumbling noise made by its
escape from the bottom may be plain.
ly heard. Many people have visited
the wells within the last few days, and
already there is much talk of drilling
in this locality.
1t is stated that at the time the we'll
was being dug some years ago, the ne
gro engaged in the work was almost
overcome, but the occurrence, at the
time, was ascribed to ordinary fire
damp.
This gas showing is about two and
one-half miles south Of the location on
which the Early Petroleum Compan,
last year drilled its Calhoun No. /, and
which gave such promise, for a time,
Of being real producer. 1t is inter
csting to note that the same company
has commenced operations on Calhoun
No. >, about three hundred feet from
the former location.

BRYCELAND POTATOE CUR
ING PLANT A SUCCESS

The potatoe curing plant erected at
Bryceland during last year is an en-
terprise of which the citizens Of that
section may be justly proud. Though
completed late last season, farmers of
that section now have nearly 1000
bushels Of cured sweet potatoes in
storage in the curing plant and they
are a very high grade. The writer had
the pleasure Of visiting the plant while
in Bryceland Tuesday, and the splen'
did showing made by these progressive
citizens was indeed a pleasant surprize.
Everywhere about us, in orderly ar
ray, were stacked crates Of potatoes,
cured and ready for shipment
Mr.. w. L Gloer who has superin-
, tended the curing process, emptied a
number Of crates, and examination
showed that out Of the number only
two or three potatoes had rotted, and
these were thoroughly dry, hard, so
that the rot did not spread to other
potatoes lying next to them. He also
showed us some especially fine pota-
toes of uniform size and quality, of
which he had raised 252 bushels on
1 ~ acres of ground Others he stat
ed had made still better record,
Those desiring slips or seed potatoes of
these special varities, 1--WE have for
gotten what they are called) can OBJ
tain them by applying to Mr.. Gloer
at the curing plant, these varities be-
ing especially suited to conditions
here.
The sweet potato industry offers a
substitute money crop that is rapidly
forging ahead Of cotton, and we are
glad to see our Bryceland friends max
ing a success Of it.

She had run away from the notorious

and startled him by asking if he were

He said he hoped he was as he was
free mason and man of family.
The girl begged him to help her to
escape and finally demanded his aid on
the score of his duty to her as the
daughter of Mason.
He ordered her to get on some more
clothes and agreed to help her. The
best she could get was some odd stock

reached about to her knees. The
plumber picked her up in his arms
and ran from the place. At the corner
he put her down, pointed out the Sal
