REPRODITES “RECLAWS” RE
MARKS.
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. Then let us all be
uwn up and doing: send in your mite climate,
j belt ever so small, or when the|
blasts of winter strike us we!
I ’ I ' ! ‘
i shall have no pants at all.’

THE LOCAL PAPER IN THE
HOME.
The local newspaper should be
found in every home. 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.

FEEDING VALUE OF COTTON SEED.
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. ;
