COUNTY AGENT'S NOTES. ?J. .fr ?fr * * ?fr 'fr ?fr ?fr 'fr -fr * 'fr ?fr 'fr Cotton and Cotton Seed Meal. (Feeding.) Farmers are interested at present in regard to their cotton seed, and it would be well for Hiern to write to the U. S. Department of Agricul ture at Washington for Farmers' lllll letin No. 1179, which is a now lui 1 - letin dealing with the feeding of cot ton seed producta. Several feeding tests have indi cated that one pound of good quality cotton .seed meal is equal to nearly two pounds of cotton seed as a feed for fattening steers. Largo rations of cotton seed tend to produce scours, but when used in quantities up to flvo or six pounds thoro is lit tle or no trouble from this source. Cotton seed contain about 21 per cent fat or oil and nearly 2 2 per cont crude protein. Cotton seed con tain about half as much protein as cotton seod meal. Experience has shown that cotton seed products as a food for young calves and pigs may result fatally. The products may be used for some time without visibly harmful effects, but their continued use may prove fatal, lt is well to use sparingly to young calves and pigs, lt is less harmful to oidor cattle, but when fed continually for long periods, in large amounts, it may also prove harmful to thom, lt ls well to guard against this. Cotton seed meal, fed in small or moderate amounts, is constipating. For that reason it should be used with more laxativo feeds, such as silage and bran. Its rational use with a variety of feeds will overcome this difficulty. For rut taning Steers. Suggested rations for fattening steers averaging 1000 pounds in weight-- Pounds.

The Old Year The winds that from the Northland From regions of eternal snow, At midnight now are chanting low Their Miserere drear, The while the Old Year, bent Goes desolate upon his wa\?

But while we stand, silent, devout, O'er eastern hills, old Time's redoubt, There comes a gladdening "Hail!" and sh That brings to us new cheer. For Twenty-One, both lithe and young With meny peal from glad bells flung; Has come with joys as yet unsung-[IE A new King now is here! ^W7^^^ Jj ^??yONNIE looked down to tho ' jtf!jtfj? busy street, through o blur ^jfi^r of snowflnkes. Xt least, Connie told hersoM deter ^ump}? mlnedly tliat snowflakes ^^?^ were accountable for the I blur; then, sho wiped her "lt's Merry Christmas time," Connie said to her old yellow' cat. "Who ever heard of Christmas without tho Merry? So cheer up. Prowler, and let's Join In the game." At the little "Shoppe" Just around thc corner she stood longest of all. And all at once Into Connie's bright evos came a speculative light. (The window was full of small framed pic tures, most of them with thc Christ mas spirit. There were tho usual night-clad children looking up brood chimneys, there were landscapes of snowy fields with dlstnnt windows alight-Connie studied them all ; she was seeing In vision the winding hill road of the place where she had spent her last summer vacation; the church with Its swaying bell In the steeple, the queer little bridge over the deep and beautiful stream-a bridge with seats along Ila sides where countless lovers bad sat and courted. The old ln#J?v who had been Connie's volunteer hostess told ber, with the pink coining and going In her withered cheeks, about the lovers. For It was there that ber own husband had asked, and had been answered-his question. The woy that Connie had chanced to visit this beautiful country place and to meet there the dear old lady was quite remarkable chance too. She had started out on the trolley car for one restful day In the country and had chosen this station at random. And when she had stopped to admire the wonderful roses In the old lady's gar den-and they had spent some agree able time together-the old lady. Mrs. Martha Snow by name, had said : "My dear! Why don't you come on and visit me for a week or two? I'm lonely for a young sweet fnce." And Connie had gone, that was all. Half her later water colors had been glorified memories of that delightful visit. Now Connie had a new Inspira tion. She would paint the queer little bridge over an Icy stream, and itf seats should bc covered with snow Sho could fancy Just how the tree* would look waving naked branches And she'd paint the church In the hoi tow with lights.lu thu winduws gleam lng over the snow nnd the bell in the tower n-swnying for Christmas. Oh, Connie wns very happy as shs? hurried home to her attic, but there, In the temperamental way artists 1 have, she beean to draw Instead, working In a fever of enlhrft$asm- j the sitting room of the old house where she had been a guest, with Martha Snow herself seated In the firelight, Just half of her peaceful pro file showing benenth Its halo of white hair. There was holly above the old fire place and a boy's stocking hanging there. Connie never stopped until she had completed the picture, then ran with It breathlessly to the "Shoppe" around the corner. "Yes, we will display It," a smiling old man agreed. The picture sold. Of course you were prepared for that ; but the strange pari was that before lt was sold Connie had added her other views to the "Shoppe" window, and her dis cerning purchaser had bought them every one. While the other Christ mas studies pleased him not at all ; Connie could not count the number of times that she passed that window, first closing her eyes childishly In the hope that her picture would not be there when she opened thom. And lt was the day but one before Christmas that tho "Shoppe" manager seeing her peeking about, beckoned her Inside. "You have pleased one of our best customers," enid tho manager, "and when we mentioned your peculiar con dition of sale he suggested talking the matter over with you that you might both come to a satisfactory bargain. Our customer thinks that you possess wonderful artistic ability. We have given him your address." "Is he," asked Connie falteringly, Mn philanthropist?" Some way she did not went her pur chaser to be Just a philanthropist and spoil nil future ambitious hope. "Mr. Armstrong ls a man who usual ly drives a pretty shrewd bargain." the "Shoppe" manager said. So. though lt wns early afternoon. Connie hurried home to turn on n gns blaze nnd don ber most presentable dress sn that she might make a favor able Impression ne n successful young wielder of the brush. The purchaser might arrive any minute. But lt was the next afternoon when he come and Connie was wearing n bungalow apron. The purchaser wns young nnd toll nnd good looking, nnd the golden cut greeted him with n purring rub, which was to Connie a recommendation as to his honesty. A.

I The man's voice broke huskily. He ! drew forth an old sitting-room plc t ure. j "Peace on Kurth" was the name she had given lt. "That." said Hubert Armstrong, "Is tho living room of my home In lini erest-the pince where I was born. This white-haired woman's profile is the peaceful prollle of my long-lost mother. That little bulging stocking might have been my own stocking, Just ns lt used to hang there years ago- Tell mc-" his tone was eager, "how did you come Ivy your dream?" "I visited last summer," Connie told him, "In thnt same old house In Hill crest with Mrs. Martha Snow,> who In vited me." Tho man nodded hastily. "I see," he said, "It is quite simple after all. Martha .Snow Is my moth er's widowed sister." A dull red crept to lils cheek. "I had almost forgotten that Aunt Martha asked mo years ago to allow her to continue on tn the old home stead. 1? was left mine by will. So she's there yet, nod the church bell still chimes out for Christmas I "You have sounded the memory bells for me, Miss Carroll." It seemed that the purchaser had almost forgotten her In his musings. Now that she looked nt him closely his face was threaded by lines of caro, his line eyes sorrowful beneath their sternness. Connie put forth a friend ly hand. "Why," she said, "so you are Martha Snow's nephew. Then there cnn he no question of bargain between ush> the pictures are freely yours." Tho man spoke abruptly. "You paint to sell do you not?" he asked. "Isn't Hutt what your studio ls for?" Connie shook her head ruefully. "Mostly," she replied, "my studio ls just to live In." j "And you live alone?" "I nm quite alone In the world," she told him grnvely. Then her Irrepressible smile broke forth. "Unless," she added, "you would count Prowler?" She caught the cat i In her arms. I "I-live-alone-too," Hubert Arm I strong said slowly. "I know what lt means. There's not much difference between the glided walls of an apartment and these walls of yours here." "Not when lt comes to loneliness," Connie agreed. "Wo were going to I look much more cheerful." she went Connie Studied Them All. on, "when you Interrupted us with your knock. I was climbing the lad der to hang a holly wreath." "Let me do lt for you," the man said. Before she could could refuse his assistance he was on the ladder, the wreath in his hands. "That's better," Connie told him ns side by side they stood looking up at thc crimson berries. "It's the first time In years." Hu bert Armstrong said with a boyish laugh, "that I've dorie that sort of' thing. Olves me a thrill of old Christ mas. Makes me wish for a fireplace with a filled stocking before lt. The fireplace of your picture makes me long to go skating on a creek-your creek, back nt Hillcrest. Makes me want to taste turkey again over tho old dining-room table." "Yes I" breathed Connie, "and hear thc church bell ring out across the sno\v." n?ngcr-cyed the man gazed Into those other eager eyes beneath his own. "Let's do lt," he snld Impulsively. "Let us have a real, Joyful old-fash ioned sort of 'Christmas, you and 1, back nt Aunt Martha's. I will call her on tho phone. It would delight her heart." "It would be Just 'pence on earth' to mo," Connie said happily. And that Christmas eve as she gazed wideawake through her attic window the moon shono down through the holly wreath. "Merry Christmas," whispered Con nie while the old moon smiled be nignly V/lth a promise of happy Christmases to come. ((?). 1120, Western Npwspnpur Union.)

A gr OOM with .Mr. Sanders, but Not in Favor of Delegation Meetings. Hattie Creek, S. C.. Dec. 22, 1020. j l?dt tor Keowee Courier: 1 will ask you to publish my let ter, as 1 wish to express my open opinion on certain matters as thoy exist to-day, according to my under standing. My letter is not personal to any one. First, I want to thank Robt. M. Sanders for his good lotter, publish ed in The Courier, Dec. 15. I agree with Mr, Sanders most heartily ex cept as to the delegation meetings, lt is well enough for our represen tatives to confer with the people as to their needs, for information only, but when representative delegations call meetings and take the sentiment of the majority present on any issue or matter of legislation, that major ity does not represent the majority, or the sentiment, of the masses of the people of the county at large, and if the representatives have that voice of the few embodied into law, it is not a representative law; lt does not represent the needs and in terests of the masses of the people. It ls only representative of the dic tates of the few speaking for the many. It ls not the cool, deliberate work of the delegation. Therefore it could not bo representative law. It is too much Uko a man getting a Job and letting another man have it, and do the work, -and the first man getting the pay. As an example I will refer to the Bond Issue Act for good roads. That act ls one of the sons of the delegation meetings, and I certainly believe that foui flfths of the poople are opposed to that bond issue. The people wanted good roads (and they surely needed thom,) but they did not want all the good roads piled up in one pile be twoen Walhalla and Seneca, and a few other places, and do without roads everywhere else in the comity. It will take twenty-five years to got that little pile of good roads pain for, and by that time poople won't need any good roads. They will be compelled by necessity, for lack of roads, to bo doing tholr travel by airship long before then. In my opinion, the reason why so few people attend those delegation meetings ls that people think, when a candidate is brought out for Rep resentative, he is woll enough ac quainted with the needs and finan cial conditions of his county to know what the poople need and want-oise ho would not have offered hlmve1? for the position.
