DP INTENSE INTEREST TO FARMIJB.
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. C..
Charlotte. N. C.. Goldsboro. N. C., Atlanta,
Go.. Augusta, Ga* and Savannah.

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?

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.

HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION.
Eho Employment of Ftm Labor GItm the
Boot RmqIU.
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

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.

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. Y., voted
to spend $400,000 in road improvomenta.
Warm a it thft timAWDTO WOTth from 130
to $50 an acre. 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.

L. FOOD FOR THE SICK.
Mmw to Prepare and ?m? 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.

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.
