Y . SOUTHERN f, d ? * TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THE PLA.VTE m II ?. i?n firowinjj Protein For Dairy Cows. have already publish<*l much on the importance of this subject, and rejxjjpduce a summary given by Hoard's Dairyman of a recent bulletin to the Tennessee Experiment Sta tioa. This bulletin treats upon the following subject: "The Relative Value of Protein in Cottonseed Meal, Cowpea Hay and Wheat Bran." Vb have not the room to give all that is said on this intensely interesting question, and so will only enumerate the conclusions of the experiment: l^rst?Cottonseed meal is one of the ricitest of protein feeds, but it must be fcd sparingly, as it has a tendency to produce nervous derangement f the cow's system. Second?Only about half as much food is consumed in making a gallon f milk as in making a pound of but- j m Third ? The smallest amount of roughage consumed In making a ponml of butter was 43.8 pounds, in which thirteen pounds of cowpea, liay was substituted for four pounds of cottonseed meal. TEl5s was with group 3 of cows. The highest amount of concentrates consumed for a pound of butter was by gro?p 1. which took 9.2 pounds, or 3.2ujx>nads more than group 3. and 5.2 pounds more than in group 2. This shows that the substitution of pea hay for wheat bran in group 2. and for cottonseed meal in group 3 greatly reduced the cost of concentrates. Hbnr.'Ti?It was proved hv this exne". Imeiit that one and a quarter pounds ; of ghopped eowpea hay was equal to one pound of bran, and three pounds of the chopped pea hay was equal to one pound of cottonseed meal. Fifth?Two and a half tons of cowpea hay can be produced on an acre of average Southern farm land, at a cost of 312.50. Put la flic market baled it would be ? >-, r.r> a ton of bran costs j ftlflt or $l..r/0 less than the farm sellin? price of two and a half tons of oovypra hay. The cow pen hay won Id havtb twice the feeding value of the wheat bran. Sixth?Measuring by the yield at ihe Tennessee Station, it would take 1.2 new of land to produce in cowpea hay the feeding equivalent of a ton o? oottor.seed meal. The cost of hay from that amount of ground would be $1(1, its farm value $21. and its market value $-0. But the pea crop would sto?e in the soli forty pounds of nitrogen. worth, say, $4. The only difficulty in the way of making pea hay a perfect and profitable substitute for the wheat bran and cottonseed meal waa in getting the cows to consume enough of it Uhls would suggest the use of a small daily ration of the bran or cottonseed ineal and an increased use f the pea hay as far as is possible t(v induce the rows to consume it.? Tecnesseo Farmer. How Do You I'alir Your Calve*? Hke al>ove is frequently asked, and as it is an important question I take pleasure in giving a statement, briefly, how 1 have done for over twenty-five yeaas. writes J. A. Middleton in Jersey Bulletin: As soon as the calf is on its feet and can "stand alone" I take it from x its mother, and for teu days cow is milked throe times/a day and calf fed as often with its mother's unadulmill Alter ten days, twice a day will do. for thirty days. I then use ?n" quart fresh separator miik mixed ^ h its mother's milk, increasing tL. quantity of skimmed milk, regulari; ;o that when calf is sixty days o!d ui sometimes before) I have worked it to us^ skimmed milk altogether. After reaching this point I add to skimmed milk one pint of shipstuff, increasing the latter gradually until calf is tifteea to sixteen weeks old. After it reaches this point, it goes ?n bluegrr.ss In summer and shipstuff and clover hay in winter. I think th? calf should he weaned froiu its mother very early in life, but should never be weaned from the herdsman?or the one in charge. I am a liberal feeder, and think calves are better by being fed once or twice a week, even in summer time, as one quart shin-stuff or corn meal will do them good. They will expect it. and it has a tendency to make them gentle and kind. I give calves feed instead of medicine. Whenever n case of scours occurs (which is generally produced by irregular or overfeeding). I use raw and soda?trie loriner three times u day, or oftcncr if necessary. Give your calves raw eggs at any time. >fy per cent, of deral calves is small; in fact. I rarely lose one. I keep my calves in cood shape from the time tho? arc horn, and breed th<?m when twelve ?>r fourteen months old. They should then be fed regularly, sheltered in winter, not crowded, and handled ( Mere flentlon.

Saddle llorne la Demand. Horseback riding is gaining in favor, for some reason or other. Perhaps it is because the President of the United States has set a good and conspicuous example as a patron of this wholesome sport. At any rate, the growing demand for gaited saddlers, even among men of modest means, cannot be overlooked, and the farmer who <vaaiV nf this tvne CllU pxuuuvu -,yuu oiwv? . . will find a ready market for his equities in the large cities. In commenting along these lines Kentucky Stock Farm says that, while the wealthy fanciers who like to take exercise on horseback are buying the best that can be found of both kinds of riding horses, some rather scrubby sorts are being sold among the socalled three-galtcd or plain-gaited lot. The majority of men. however, who wish to own a liorse to cost not more than $150 to $250 have an idea that they want one that "can saddle a little." and the result is that the demand and supply of such animal* are quite far apart. Even good sized ponies of Western origin, which have an easy canter or "lone." are bringing famine prices in Louisville. The call, of course. Is l'or horses thoroughly accustomed to city life, for the reason that very many of the men who now find themselves in a nosilion to keep horses have very little or no previous acquaintance with the saddle. Some years ago most of these very men rode i.:?*-r.io? \rhen on nle&snre bent, but now it would l?o n hard matter to coax si>n>e of them to admit that they know liow to steer a wheel, let alone mount one in public and set off down the boulevard. As an indication of the manner in which the horse is holdins; his own asrainst the mechanical locomotive device, this demand for I low priced saddle horses is well worth j recording. Cost of a BroHoP. One of the most successful broiler raisers in this country markets his chirks nt one and three-quarters to two pounds weight. at an average cost to raise of twenty-five cents each. He is liable to market a broiler chick for every two eggs nut in his incubators j (including infertiles), and bis carefully kept estimate cf cost, extending over several years, is as follows: Two eggs, /.ontc Hhnr seven cents; feed. ii? r Winn, eight cents; picking, five ttnfs; total, twenty-five cents. At the price lie paid the farmers for eggs his average cost is not quite two cents an egg. as the price paid for picking is one or two cents above the market price for picking broilers, his estimate of the total cost is a liberal one. He saiu: "I would rather pay that price and have the chicks carefully picked, each man picking fifty or sixty a day, than have a picker earn the same amount of money by hurriedly picking 10;) a day. It is quite easy for a picker to skimp his work, and the broilers would I>e a cheaper looking Jot in consequence, shrinking the price perhaps four or five cents a pound." In other words. quality pays in broilers as well as in other things, and the fact that this man's broilers frequently bring him five cents a pound above the highest market quotations, approves the policy of paying the picker a good enough price to insure having the chicks carefully picked. I'.roilers bring the highest prices iu Anril. At tlm early summer season | of the year they bring forty to fifty cents a pound, which price gradually scales down to twenty cents or a little le?s in August. Later in the year the price again advances, the advance being suost rapid in February and March.?Southern Flanter. The Corrpea as a Oafclt Crop.

The soil is improved. weeds are suppressed, and a crop of hay or peas or both produced. A heavy viniug variety drilled in two and one-half foot rows in the sj>ring and cultivated until they lap across the middles will give ideal conditions for sowing grasses and clovers when ihe pea vines are harvested. Cowpeas are particularly valuable as a cover crop in orchards, and, following spring cultivation, ripen the wood of tii? fruit trees, thus preventing injury from excessive cold. News In Notes. The ashes of Mrs. Laura K. Anderson, who died at Muncie, Ind., several months ago, were scattered over her favorite rose bush last Tuesday afterDoon, in accordance with her dying wishes. She was a free-thinker and at one time editor of the magazine Free Thought. Just before dying she requested that her body be cremated and that on the anniversary of her birth, j which was Tuesday, the ashes be scat-1 tered over the rose bush in her front I yard. . j WANTED AN kYE FOR EACH. roung Clerk's Close Watch Without i Its Proper Reward. "It is my duty to warn you," said sne of the two well dressed women tvho had just sidled up to the counter, 'that my sister is a confirmed kleptomaniac. You must watch her most :arefully." "Thank you, madam, saia ine puiue clerk. "I will keep her under close observation." For some twenty minutes the young man kept his eyes glued upon the lady be had been warned against, but at last the ladies left the shop without any purchase having been made. Still, the smart young man congratulated himself upon the fact that the kleptomaniac had not klepped anything worth mentioning that time, at least. Then another customer approached. "Why did you watch that lady so closely?" she queried. "Kleptomaniac," said the smart young man. "Her sister warned me." "Oh!" was the reply. "I should think it must be in the family. 1 noticed that sister take a roll of silk and two cards of your best lace." Then that smart young man retired to the darkest corner of the shop and kicked nimseir. AN UNMAILED LOVE LETTER. Trivial Oversight That Wrecked a Promising Life. Half a century ago a young Englishman, while traveling, met a beautiful girl and promptly fell In love with her. A few days later he returned home, and his first act was to write her a love letter. In It he told her that he could not be happy without her and that If she regarded his proposal favorably he would expect a re-; ply by the next mall. To this letter he received no answer j and so disappointed was he that from | that time until his death, which oc- j curred recently, he shut himself up: in his home and lived like a hermit ] Most of his time was spent in reading, and the day after his funeral the heirs began to search the books in his li- i brary, for they thought it quite pos-; sible that the eccentric old man might have hidden some bank notes in then}. They found rone, but in a tattered old pamphlet they found another kind of note, the love letter which was written fifty years ago, and which the writer had forgotten to mail. Among those men who have been i brought into prominence by the rail- : road development of the past few years President Burt, of the Union Pacific, takes front rank. The secret of his success lies in his extraordinary j working capacity and his intimate I knowledge of railroad duties. Every j detail connected with the system > passes directly through his hands, and he leaves nothing to subordinates, even the highest subordinate officials being mere factotums.

She bad tried physician after ohyskisa, and remedy after remedy, without any permanent improvement. Her treatment had cost her husband who was a poor man hundreds of -dollars. They had been obliged to denv themselves many comforts of life in order to get money enough to pay the physicians. The woman had become weak, nervous and wretched, and scarcely able to Jteep out of her bed. Her children were<g*owing up neglected and ragged, because .of the want of a mother's care. Her husband was becoming discouraged and broken down with overwork. Picking up the paper one day she .happened to read an item which contained the news that Dr. Hartman would ."treat such cases tree of charge by letter. She immediately wrote the doctor describing" her case, and giving him all her symptoms. She soon received a letter tellinc her exactly what to do, and what medicines and appliances to get.
