E. QUESTIONS ASKED BY F. G. I. Dear Mr. Editor: fhe summer is on us and likely to be a hot one and the sanitary arrangments should be looked after. The law provides for a board of health. We have sewers in our town and not sufficient water to flush them and the buildings that they serve. Typhoid fever is the offsprings of filth and should be guarded against. ^ The law requires that the schools of the town make a report of their schools every June, of the number and residences of scholars and pub lish the same. The taxpayers are entitled to know how the school funds arising from taxes and bonds issued are expended. A law and order league would helpCthe cause of publicity and keep the citizens and taxpayers, if properly consti tuted, and not interested personally. If we have such a league please pub lish. The Constitution foibids any per son to hold two offices of profit or trust. There seems to be some vio lating this law and should be report ed as required by the governor un der the law. Query. Can the auditor or any other official abate the taxes of tax payers without request or petition of taxpayers or except by due pro cess of law? F. G. B. P. S.—We are living in perilous and strange times and every means should be used to prevent fraud and corruption and to preserve health. aniSAY dUMATMl Roflbi. May 15.—Editor Pram and tandard.

However, there wa? some very fine vocal music also. Many com pliments were paid some of f the l« ders. while many were due the young ladies who assisted, of which the e were about 1 wentv. But alas! these happy meetings all are ended by that sad time when we have to part. So as the latt rays of a beautiful sunset was seen casting up his lest nys of light be hind th tee western hills, we parlt d each for his respective abo Je, while all agreed that it was one of the most pleasant da> s spent this season and hoped that Aunt Martha might celebrate many mor \ “Occasi >nal.” The Second Annual Convention of Broxton Township Sunday School Association met with Rice Patch Sunday School Sunday, May 7.

MEAL FDR 1068. (BY JO W. ALLISON.) Make a mixture in bulk, about one-third cottonseed meal and tww- ‘ thirds corn chops, whole corn, wheat bran, or Aiorta. mix with water t» ft thin mush in two vesMb (an old barrel sawed in two is good) and leave to soar or ferment, which will toke from 12 to 48 hours, according to the weather and other conditions; then feed from thebe alternately, using the , contents of one, while that of the other is left to sour. A good growing ration may be baaed on one pound of dry mixture per hundred pounds of live weight. For quick fattening this may be doubled, quadrupled or even more largely increased. Indeed, the Texas Experiment Station fed so much as seven and a half pounds per day to one hundred and fifty-pound hogs, though this is extreme and imtrnan mica), if not positively dangerous. When ready to feed add fresh water to the feeding ration sufbrient to bring to a thin slop, about the consistency of sweet milk, and give the hogs all they will dean up. in an experience of over 25 yean, I have never seen a hog refuse to eat it, or injured by it. Indeed, it is not only the best and cheapest feed on earth, but it is an efficient prophylactic, and hogs fed on it seem entirely immune to any of the common ills that hogs are heir to. As to the feeding value of cottonseed meal compared with com, chemical analysis, confirmed by years of practical tests, answer this. A hundred pounds of corn contains from six to ten pounds of protein, four to six pounds of fat, and about sixty-five to seventy pounds of car boh)- drates. A hundred pounds of cottonseed meal contains from forty-five to fifty pounds of protein, from eight to twelve pounds of fat and about twenty- five pounds of carbohydrates. That cottonseed meal, in protein and fat combined, is about five times, and in protein alone is about six tiroes as valuable as corn; and while too ridi in protein to be fed by itself, when combined with corn in the proportion of about two parts corn and one part cottonseed meal, gives a ration which, with ordinary grazing, almost exactly fulfills the scientific requirements for a balanced hog feed, and of which the com mittee appointed by the Texas Swine-breeders' Association to report upon the feeding of cottonseed meal, after a thorough investigation, say, in their formal report, “is the most economical ration of which we have any record.” When it is remembered that this is the solemn and deKberatft verdict of a committee of expert and scientific swine-breeders and feeders, these w ords ring with importance to the whole South. For they mean that in cottonseed meal, supplemented by her unquestionable climatic advantages and cheaper lands, the South can produce cheaper pork than the great corn belt of the Northwest, and this can but mean the ultimate transfer of the-hog-producing center of the country from the Northwest to the South, and an added wealih and prosperity to our whole country.
