How Hi jh Priced Beef and Cotton Seed Are Related. The Texas Cotton Seed Crushers' Association at a late meeting held In Texas, passed a resolution confirming hat the high price of beef was due to i shortage in seed products. The folowlng taken from the Cotton and Farm Journal, throws some light upon ihls subject: "The rules adopted by the Texas Cotton Seed Crushers' Association puta It in line with the other aaaociationa of i simitar kind in the South. It la probable that there will be no more invaalon of Mlaalaaippi and Alabama by Texas mills in search of seed. "The cattlemen who were expected liere to expostulate over their ulieged oad treatment during the past year lave not put in appearance aa yet. and nay not. The crushera do not seem concerned over the threat of aome of the cattlemen to operate their own mills. The fact that the Swift Company baa recently purchaaed half a loxen mills at different points was not commented on by any of the crushers to whom It was mentioned, save to (he effect that Swift would probably be able to use more feed than those mills would provide. "A resolution was udopted deprecating 'any act of congress that may tend to reduce the price of cattle and hogs, and alleging that the present high price of meat in due 'to a shortage in need products.'" This would seem to show there were two aides to this question of high beef fcnd that in so far us Texas is concerned the price of beef is bound to vary with ! the price of cotton seed hulls and cot- ] ton sevd meul. in proportion us the grass urea of Texas has diminished, the cattle-ruixrrs have b*-en compelled i to buy feed stuffs, and the only uvuil- ' able fevd-stuffH In quantity Is cotton i seed hulls and cotton seed meul. Hulls , have been selling within the lust yeur ! of two in Texas us high as $14 a ton. | This means that the meat supply In i the future is largely dependent upon 1 the cotton seed oil businesn. and thut the people of the Southeustern States will probably go much more extensively into the business of raisin* cattle for beef purposes after they tlnd out us much about the values of hulls and meal as the Texas cattle man has found out by the necessities of the case. It would seem as though the eastern farmer now has the udvuntage of the Texan in raising cattle for beef purposes and In handling cattle for dairy purposes. All the cotton seed products that are needed for cattle raising and competition with other markets can be had right at home through the Southern Cotton Oil Company of the Carollnas and Georgia, through amy of Its mills or its headquarters at Columbia, 8.

I " I ?>**"g COMPOSITION. Krnd nt the timdfd ftchool. Robert K. Lee was born at Stratford, Westmorland County, Virginia, January, lj>07. His fattier wax Geueral Henry Lee of the Revolution, better known as Light Horse Harry Lee. Hi* mother waa Minn Annie Hill Carter. After the w&r Geueral Lee was Governor of Virginia. Then a member of Congress. Soon General Lee's health begaii to fail. He weut to the West Iudies for his health, but there be only got worse. He started home but on the way be became so sick thai; he was Kut off at a friend's bouse and there edied. His remains were not taken home but buried there. Robert was eleven years old when his father died. Wheu Robert was four years old they moved to Alexandria. There they had better schools. Wheu Mrs. Lee went to ride and complained of being cold Robert would get out bis jack knife and stuff the cracks of the carriage full of (taper. Aftet awhile Mrs. Lee fell sick. Robert save her her food aud medicine with his own hands. When she died Robert waa beard to say, "I owe everything to mv mother." When Robert was eighteen years old he weut to West Point to become a Koldier. There be went to *chool four years and never got a bad mark. When he was twenty-two yetrs old he entered then the engineering corps aud became a lieutenant. Then his duty was to make forts, plan battlefields and keep rivers in their own beds. Once he had to force the Mississippi River into its bed. Some men who did not like the work Lte was doing brought up some cannon aud opened Are upon the laborer*. After * -? - t_L... L.?l? awnue dp lorcea me luiguijr mw uk* into it* own bed. la the Mexican war he bad to find out the position of Santa Anna, the Mexican General. He went into the mountain^ but could not find him. The next day be found bim out and old General Scott. In the battle that followed Santa Anna was defeated. When Lee wan promoted to captain he was seut to Texas. There his duty was to keep the Indians from killing the whites. Once a disease broke out in Lee's troops. Men, children and homes died. Once a little boy died of this disease. , When the war between the States broke out Lee wus offered command of the Northern army If be would remain true to the Union. Rut he said. "I could uot draw my sword a*p?in*t Virginia, my native State." When Lee met Joe Hooker at ('bancellorsville Hooker had nearly twice I^ee's number. Hooker had ninety-three thousand men while Lee had forty-four thousand men. Jeb Stuart led bis meu singing, "Old Joe Hooker come out and fight." Lee won the battle. When General Pope attacked Lee, Lee sent Stonewall Jackvou with a portion of his army to Pope's rear. When Pope attacked Jackson, Jackxou fought well, but the Confederate's powder gave out, then the Confederate* fought with stones. How eagerly Jacknon looked for help, and at last it came, then Jackson beat Pope back. Then after Pope came Huruside, after BuriiNide came Meade. At the battle of Gett.vsburic when Lee's men had been defeated he told tbe?n lo Htaud firm. After Meude came Grant. At the battle of the Wildernew when Grant watt not expecting him, I<ee attacked him. I^ee wan on the point of being driven back when the men of the Lone Star State came up. But itoon the great blue cordon encircled the Texans in a circle of fire. Theu crashing upon the scene came Lion Benning and Tiger Anderson with the brave Georgians, followed by Law'* gallant Alabamlans. They rushed upon Hancock's centre and bark it reeled before their charge. When the battle ended it resulted in another victory for the '""onfederates. When Grant besieged Petersburg and could not take it, be started a cruel plan. This plan was to dig a mine under the city of Petersburg and blow it up. Lee found out the plan and put men to give the alarm when the mine was fired. When tbe mine was fired it made a deep hole. When the Federals charged many fell into hole. On these a hot fire was opened. When tbe white troops fled the colored troops were sent to tbe breach, but they fled. Then tbe white troops were sent again but were beaten back. Then Grant did try to take tbe breach. Food wasscaice iu the Confederate army. When Lee heard that some cattle were iu tbe rear of tbe Union army he sent some men to get them. When | the men came back they had two thousand head of cattle. The favorite name of the Yankees for the Confederate* wan Johnnie iieb ; the favorite name of the Confederate# for the Yankees wan Billy Yauks. One ;dav Billy Yanks said, "I say, Johnnie, take theui old greasy clothes oil' aud come over here, I have got a nice new suit for you." That's all right about my suit, growled the Confederate, "all the grease on them came out of your cattle." Then the Yankee guns began to pop aud the Confederates were uot slow to pop back. After Petersburg was taken General Lee surrendered at Appoo?atox Court Hou?e. A Yaukee officer describes how Lee aud Grant looked while they were in a room talking about the *urr-uder. He said "Lee bad on a spotless suit of gray, nice new boots, a sword and little spurs." Grant had boots that were splashed with mud, no spurs, uo sword and a coat that had ouc button oil*. One night Lee went to church, there he ?Ot cold. When he came home he could not speaK. wneu lie uiu speaK his thought* were with hit* soldiers. Olive in his sleep he said, "Tell Hill to come up." Wheu Lee died there was a statue erected ill hitt honor. When (Jeueral Joseph K. Johnson and Major Tijjer Anderson unveiled the statue Northern men, Southern men, old men, youni? men, women and children Hocked to see the statue of our hero unveiled. Kaniuel (Soode Thomson.

Commenting on the employment ol eonvicts on the publio highways, the New Orleans Times-Democrat point* out that the beat results have been obtained in road building when the best free labor only baa been employed. It i ays: fioad construction is a acienoe requiring a more careful study of the subject than is generally imagined. The j prevalent idea that any one can build a! . t k..U Tkj I good roaa wiu nut uwu matter requires study, care and a tbor- i ough knowledge of tho soil and country through which the road is to be built The department of agriculture has lately been doing good work by laying beforo the people exactly what is necea-1 ?ary in road construction. The employment of convicts in road i construction is very popular just now, J as offering simultaneously a solution of the two troublesome problems of what to do with our prison population and bow to improve our highways. In view of tho fact that the convicts in New York, Indiana and other states are kept idle, aa the law makes no provision for their support, it is well that Louisiana should take some steps to utilise hers when it bas them on its hands, and road construction seems an ideal employment for them. On the other hand, the experience of those states which have been most successful with their roads is that only the best labor (and convict labor is not the best) should be employed in their construction and maintenance. No state which has made any material improvement with its highways bas employed oonrict labor, and no state which has employed that kind of labor has secured * Jt- 1- Tlta xnucD improvement m m imui< *ub beat results have been accomplished by road taxes and the giving out of contracts. GOOD COUNTRY ROADS. The Bard** of Their Cort Bboald H< like on All the People. It baa been estimated that 600,000,000 tons of farm produce are hauled to market annually in the United States and that the cost of marketing it is $2 per ton, or just about $1,000,000,000. This is not money paid out, but is the value of the time spent by farmers with their teams in marketing crops or what these men and teams would have earned if they hkd been hired for cash to do this amount of hauling. The secretary of the fanners' national congress and the United States department of agriculture agree in estimating that about 60 per cent of this vsst amount, or $600,000,000, would be saved each year If farmers were able to do this hauling over good roads. i.1 A# til* M. I lUiS, IdlUUf M WO BUIUUUV V* M*W BI Dual mod tax to which we have been submitting, says the Cedar Bapida (la.) Ghzette. Bailroads, telegraphs and team boat line* have been assisted by the states and subsidized by the government, bat nothing has been done for the common country road. The farmers alone have bad to build oountry road* without assistance from the cities, from wealthy corporations or from the state. Every citizen will be benefited by the construction of good roads, directly and indirectly, and every taxpayer should contribute his share to their coat No wonder the farmer opposes the good roads movement, if be alone is to atand the expense. He has rightly auggeatod that he abould be assisted through the medium of a state road tax, under a system of state aid, as now employed in New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachu* setts. . .Good Boadi Otd*ct Vmmmmi Four or five years ago the town of Hempstead, Queens oounty, N.

They are now worth several hundred dollars an acre and return good interest for those who purchased them at that price. This has been such an object lesson to tbeir neighbors that I understand something like $1,000,000 will be spent this year In other parts of Queens oounty and neighborhood in building good roads. This may seem a large amount of money to be spent for the purpose, but owing to the character of the soil and the fact that good road material must bs brought the cost of construction is higher than it would be in most parts at the state. Fifty MIIm to KarkaL It is not an uncommon thing in France to see a farmer 40 or 60 miles from home in wet weather with a heavy load. If he sees a prospect of a three days' rain, he puts his tarpaulin over his load, a cover over hia horses and a waterproof ooaton and starts off to market He may go 60 miles before he flnds a market that suits him, or he may know in advanos just where be is going. You do not often see anybody driving 60 miles through a rainstorm in the United states to noa mvcei iw m mau w hay, but it it not at all uncommon to see farmers' wagons 40 or 60 milesfrom home in France. Tbej choose the wet weather for that purpose. Their roada are just as good then as at any time.? General Boy Stone. Convict Labor on KwA Convict labor in road building is be* ing employed in Duval county, Fla., and in North Carolina. In the latter case cents per day per head is said to cover the oost of food, clothes, medical attendance and guards, as compared with 28 cents per day for maintaining the same prisoners in jaiL Tbe Duval Good Roads association of Florida advocates the rise of fchort term convicts | on such work and makes the claim that they would in this manner pay back some of the money expended upon them, and they would also stand a better chance of being called back to an honest Ufu than if they were made to associate with more hardened criminals in a prison.

It la m 1 Tempting War* As the patient, begins to regain health aad strength more solid food is given 1 ?milk or cream toast, soft boiled or , poached eggs, cereal mushes, stewed or i sometimes fresh fruits or a well baked , potato. Great care must be taken not to overtax the digestive organs, lie- ' lapses are often caused by too much in* dulgence of the patient's appetite at this stage. One inuat advance slowly and with great care. A broiled oiru or a piece of rare beefsteak or a chop may lie given when the patient is la a sudiclently advanced stage of recovery. Oysters are almost always allowed and are both palatable and easily digested If perfectly fresh and not too much cooked. When they are overcooked, the albumen becomes hardened, very tough aud difficult to digest. Cook them only until the gills begin to cuiL Cream soups are valuable, us they are nourishing and easily digested, but they should not be boiled too long. A great deal of attention should be paid to the serving of food for a sick person. The faint appetite uf illness can best be coaxed by the daintiness of the food. Serve the food on a tray with a fresh, white cover and be careful not to put so much on the tray as to crowd It Better to serve too little and let the patient ask for more than to put so much on at one time that the sick one la immediately discouraged. A tlower or a little sprig of green laid upon the white tray cloth is often an incentive to the indifferent appetite, but do not attempt a vane of flowers unless it be a ery small and dainty one. Have the tray set with the prettiest china and Class obtainable, without too much color, so as to weary the eye. If the chiua la all of a single pale tint the effect will be very dainty and pleasing to the eye of the patient It muxt also be small enough to accommodate the size of the tray. Never let the tray or remain* of food served stand In the sickroom after the patient has been fed. Let all hot foods be served immediately after they arc prepared, and It aeems superfluous to mention that all hot dishes must be hot and all cold dlahes equally cold. However, this is not always done. Sometimes both the cold and hot dlahes are allowed to stand until tbey reach the same temperature. There are a great many simple, dainty desserts which may be served to the Invalids, especially those made witb eggs and gelatin. Ice cream la often given and la very nutritious and can be digested by souse very ill patients, and It Is almost always relished. How <o Whiten Ivory. Ivory may be whitened by washing Well Wltn soap aizu wwvr uuu iuiv n ,um It to dry In the sua. This process must be repeated for several days. If the Irory be attached to some heavy article that cannot readily be moved, another process Is to put a thin paste of lime over it until It turns white. It Is then dried and polished. Bow to Care Insomnia. It Is sow a generally recognized fact that one of the most prolific causes of Insomnia Is overeating, that practice resulting usually In a disturbed condition of the digestive organs If In nothing more serious. The remedy In such cases Is obvious enough. Coses are common where Insomnia of a protracted and stubborn nature has yielded to a period of fasting. Tliere are few cases of sleeplessness. In fact. In which a little dieting may not be tried with good effect. Copious drinking of cold water Just before retiring Is often highly efficacious. Deep breathing kept np as long as possible by will power is m ffanapfliiv r?ttvtmtiif>nded remedy for occasional sleeplessness, the main aim being to keep the mind from thinking.
