CATTLE AJ3J3 COTTON SEED.
Instead of buying less meet eaeh
year, it is plain the south is annually
sending more money to the northwest
in payment for meat. In several of
the southern stales it is well known
that there arc fewer cows and fewer
sheep than there were iu the census.
This is certainly the case in Mississ
ippi and Lousiana, and probably in
some olherstatcs. OneChicago pack
er, says the Louisville Home aud
Farm, shipped to the South during
the first seventeen dav of January
iast 85,000,00?! pounds of meat, as
against 19,990,000 pounds for lliocor
rerponding time of 1884. He also
shipped more barrels of pork by 4,000
and tierces wf lard by 8.000. These
facts' show where the grea' drain of
money from this section leads to and
they should Sntilo every man who de
sires tho prosperity of the southern
country to find some remedy that will
fit, the ca'-o.
A correspondent of Ihe Planters'
Journal,published in Vicksbutg,claim
that an ample remedy can be found in
the use of cotton seed as feed stuff.
An experiment, he says, “made at the
A. ami M college in feeding cotton
seed to cattle showed that flesh could
be pul on cattle, even in midwinter,
for less titan two cents per pound. 15;
this means, if fed to cattle on the
plantation, the seed wilt pay |.'(s to
S7O per ton. In my county not a ton
af seed is sold lo mills; all is bongltl
by cattle men, aud they have paid
this winter and fall $9 per ton at the
gin, and some of it is hauled fifteen
miles to the cattle ranches.
While I do not know how long the
hulled seed, with the oil in n,could bl
ind l mules without hurl, I do know
of a man who fed a pair of fancy
corses on it for three months, and they
did well and had a nice coat ot hair.
The small planter can buy beef cat
tle otlof grass In September for two
and a half eettts per pound gross, ami
by feeding them cooked cotton seed
and hay for two months, he can put
on about 250 pounds of flesh and sell
them for sto ti.’j cent* gross, or a
profit of about ISO on each steer.”
Professor F. A. Gulley says that cot
ton seed meal Is worth doublo coni
meal lor food for stock. The oil In
(he seed is good food : and he says the
hogs got fat wiiod' picking up the
cookedgoti'kd seed whore catile are
fed,
If indeed there is truth in these
statement* of facts, it i* worth the
while of ai*y farmer to begin the work
of producing meat at least for his own
use. If we can make our our beef
aud nork from cotton seed, it is high
time we began to do it. The oil mills
do not lake over leu per cent, ot the
crop of seed, and if we feed Ibcrest of
it to catile and hogs, we wotdtl not
matci-ialiy decrease the fertilization
material, while wo would retain at
home a great sum ot money that L
now huhded over each year to Chica
go packers.—Constitution. l
FKEUING A HOBSB.
Bearing in tniml that the stomach
of a horse is small in proportion to
the slue of his frame, he requires feed
ing often, ami I hough three times a
day is sufficient, four times in better.
Unlike human beings, horses should
drink before they oat, because,owing
to the oouiformation of the liorte,
water does not remain in the stom
ach, but passes through it into & large
intestine caacinii. If a horse be fied
drst, (lie water passing through the
stomach would be likely to carry <ritli
with it particulars of food, and thus
briug about colic. Whatever a groom
may say, let a horse drink just as
m ichas he likes. Ifbeia watered four
limes a day, he will never take very
much, or two much to be good for
him. A horse, It must he remember*
cl, in fed on dry food, and this, witli
the strong work done by him, aiways
produces feverishness, which a sup
ply of water tends to allay.
Tint rhaugc In sentiment on the
subject ot duelling during the last
forty years lias lieeu remarkable. A
man who killed his antagonist iu a
duel was once considered as a hero.
Now he is looked upon as little less
than an assassin. A Wes'eru corres
pondent says that Judge I). 8. Terry
who killed I>. C. Roderick in a duel,
in Sail Francisco, just before the w ar,
is now an obscure old man practicing
law in Stockton, and that he is pur
sued by tlie retnbtiUvejinlico of pub
lic opinion. His case has a counterpart
in that of a well known duelist in an
adjoiniug State. The days of dueling
are about past ill this country, tjues
tions of honor must be decided accord
ing to honor, and not by bravado and
appeal to an antiquated and barbarous
code.
While there are no important build
ings being erected in Amorictis this
spring, there are a number of small
i dwellings being built.
A LONG TBANCE.
Animation Suspended for Twenty-Sin
Day*, and Complete J-Ucovery.
A daughter of Joseph Renner, of
Marion township, some lime ago
toot'suddenly ill will) colie aud went
into spasm*. Shortly afterwards
the girl to alt appearances died.
Tho heait had ceased to heal, the
pulse was extinct and respiration had
ceased. It was noticed, however, in
two or three hours after the child
died that the skin didn't take on
that peculiar pallor noticeable on
most dead people. Tito child looked
as though she were sleeping. Later
on when tho’doctor ca'led lie pro
nounced her dead niter a careful ex
amination, but told the parents in
order to be on llie safe side it would
be well enough lo defer interment
as long as possible. The body was
kept for two days, and during that
time tho sain retained its natural col
or, but no other signs ot vitality
were mauifesled.
Someone went into the room
ivlter* tlie child was lying, and after
looking at tho corpse for a moment,
put his finger on the pulse and was
surprise lo feel a fluttering. He
thought lie might h ave been mistaken
und felt again. The ptt'se best very
slowly, but it indicated that life was
there and means were at once used
to fan tho vital spark into a flame.
The doctor was called and restora
tives applied. Although respiration
returned and the action of the heart
iucrcascd, yet consciousness did not
return to the girl and all effort* lo re
store tier were fruitless.
She remaiod in this state of tor
pidity for twenty-six days. On the
evening of the twenty-sixth day she
opened Iter eyes ami feebly asked for
a drink of water. From that time
on she rabidly gained strength and
is now able to go about. From the
time she took ill until she regained
con scion-met* was twenty-eight days
and during that time she ate noth
ing.—Alabama Free I*ro*s.
THE EAHDI'S MILITARY ORGANI
ZATION.
An Arab paper coniniiis an inter
esting description of the organiza
tion of lite Mahdi's forces,’ according
to which tho tactical unit of his.army
is the “brotherhood,’- consisting of
ten men, who are originally under llie
ordersof Iheir senior iu age. Any
soldier, however who especially dts
linguisjies himself may bo promoted
to the leadership. Ten of these
-brotherhoods” form a company at
the head of which is a ferik, aud ten
companies form a regiment; which is
commanded by an emir aud hi* lieu
tenants. Every company has its lin
en flag, which invariably bears the
crossed swords that form the mili
tary-device of the Jtahdis; but the
color of the flag varies, each regi
ments having its own, and, in fact,
being knowfl by its color. Deeds ot
bravery are rewarded by a presen; of
gold, and any private may by con
tinued gallautry raise himself lo the
rank of emir. When the Mahdi com
mands In person he is accompanied
by ten emirs, who constitutes his
staff, by ten officers who as aids de
camp, and by lour mounted stand
ard bearers. These twenty-four im
mediate companions of the General
in-cheif are alouo eligible to sit on
courte-marlial and councils of war.
But the Mahdi lias several unofficial
counci tars, and among these doubt
less are the two Frenchmen who ac
cording to the Paris paper*, have,
thrown iu their lot with them.
Ibe Cornwell murder cases in Jef
ferson county aivdfficult to dispose of.
The witnesses live in tivo counties,,
and many of them are so poor they
can get to court only by walking.
Newton aud Dyer Ross were tried
for the murder of C-ornwell three
years ago, and both convicted, ami
Boss is now in the penitentiary, and
Newton was sentenced to be hanged,
bnt asked lor anew trail, which was
granted. Two adjourned terms have
been held to try Newton but the first
time a material witness for the State
was absent on account ot sickness,
and the case had to lie continued, al
though Judge Carswell permitted it
with reluctance. The second time
the dofeiident was quite sick, and
the case had to be continued. An efn
fort to dispose of the eases will lie
made at the coming term. The case
of the State vs. Elvira Ivev, charged
with the murder of McCauley, will
also come tip at this term, aud no
doubt take up considerable time and
money in the way of trails, continu
ances, etc.
Mrs. N. I’atrick living near Drav
tou in Dooly county, saw thiee large

her home, when she picked up a shot

was taller than a man, and had a
bill nearly six inches long.
NORA’S BALANCE.
Last summer, duriug the excite
ment owing to bank failures iu In
dianapolis. I was watching the anx
ious crowd besieging the doors of a
bank that was supposed to be in dan
ger, when I overheard tho following
dialogue between an Irish woman
and her husband.
‘■Nora, dhraw yer money out.”
-An shore, Patrick. I won’t.”
“But, Nora, you musht dhraw it
out.”
“Faith an’ I won’t dhraw me mon
ey out at all.”
“Nora’an'don’t vees know they’ll
lose yer money for yeas ef yees don't
dhraw it out ?”
‘•An’ share, Patrick ain’t they bet
ter able lo loose it tin n we are ?”
Patrick was evidently overpow
ered with (his last astonishing and
tinanswerible argulment, and they
both left the scene apparently satis
fied. Fortunately the bank survived
the pressure, and its ability to loose
Nora's balance was not practically
tested.— H a rper’s Maga iziue.
The brave British scouts near Sua
