The Dorchester Eagle in the laM issue re-produced the article recently- published in this paper written by “Reclaw,” with the following com ments; A Colleton county farmer sees the necessity of farmers working twelve months in the year. This is not news to many of us. The six-months- year on the farm has always been the great cause of failure with many in farming. There are lands here today that contain the same light- wood stumps that hindered pro gressive farming 40 years ago. If all farmers would stick closer to business and make these improve ments the farm would prove the most profitable business one could follow. A LOVE LETTER. , Disclaiming at tlie very outset any knowledge or experience whatsoever concerning the gentle S and wining art of writing love letter?, we with to ttate that the beautiful etlusion reproduced below is from the pen of another. But so well does it express . our sentiments regarding a few of our admirers that the use of it is justified. “They say” that love letters are good produce pleasing results. $o mote it be! Here it is: “Dear daring delinquent! Our precious subscriber in arrears? You are so slry! Do you think we have sold out and gone? No, little sugirpltsm, we could ubt get away if w r e wanted to. We are still at the same old stand dishing out the uewg qu gweefc promises and bright expectations. They make an excellent diet, dtrling, with a little puddiug flavored with a word of encour agement to serve as dessert. We are waiting and watohing for the?, our turtle dove. We long to hear your gentle footseps on the stairway below and to hear the ring of the happy dollars within our office. Dear one, we feel unusually sad and lonely without you, dear. Now, little pie-crust, will you come? Do we hear answer in a voice so sweet and beguiling, I’m coming, or is it only the winds that around cur office roar? We pause for further developement.” And in this same connection we are constrained to say with another:. “Lives of poqr men oft remind us honest toil don’t stand a chance; the more we work we leave behind us bigger patches iu our pants. On our pants once new and glossy now are patches of different line; all because sub scribers linger and won’t pay up ) what is due.

No child will grow up ignorant who can be taught to appreciate the home paper. It is the stepping stone of intelligence in all those matters not to be learned in books. Give your child a foreign paper which contains not one word about any person, place or thing which they ever saw or perhaps ever heard of, and how can you expect them to be interest ed? But let them have the home paper and read of persons whom they meet, and places with which they are familiar, and soon an in terest is awakened which increases with every arrival of the local paper. Thus a habit of reading is formed, and these children will read the papers all their lives and become in telligent men and women, a credit to their ancestors, strong in their knowledge of the world a» it is to day. n XMAS TREE AT WIL | LIAMS SCHOOL I fei™ more prot«n.

We have recived the very practi cal inquiry: Which is the most profitable to a farmer, to feed his cotton seed, which he can sell for $12 jier ton, to his cows, and save the inanuie. or sell his sect! for $12 at on and pay $32 per ton for meal and $10 per ton for hulls for feed and save the manure. A ton of cotton seed is estimated to yield the following quantity of products: Meal 750 pounds Oil 250 pounds Hulls .....978 pounds Linters 25 pounds If the meal sells for $32 per ton, and the hulls for $10, and we assume the oil to have a value of $25 a ton for feeding purposes, the feeding value of a ton of cotton reed should be as follows: 750 lbs. of meal at $32 per ton equals $12.00 1,000 Ibs.^of hulls at $10 per ton equals 5.00 250 lbs. of oil at $25 per ton equals 3.75 •y Total ...$20.75 There is always some loss on ac count of dirt and trash in the seed, so that the products would not be quite as much as stated above. On the other hand, the oil is worth four or five cents a pound to the mill. We should judge from the above that the feeding value of cotton seed should be two-thirds of the value of the cotton seed meal. This is also approximately its vale found in feeding experiments. The Mississppi Experiment Station foupd that cotton seed meal has about the value of corn. Cotton seed la a different kind of feed from cottoiYaeed meal, as the cottpn seed is much richer in oil than the meal, and the meal con- In some ex periments it has been found profita ble to feed meal along with seed. ; GSFrape, Chemist Texas Experiment Station.
