INSTALLATION i
NEW OFFICERS
Aural Masonic Lodge Had
Oyster Supper Monday
Evening.
i
Monday, December 27th, was
a festive occasion with Aural
Lodge No. 239 F. & A. M., Mt.
Vernon, and it was celebrated in
due form.
Early in the evening an oyster
supper was served at the Mt.
Vernon Hotel, Mrs. T. H. John
son, hostess. The occasion was
attended by a strong delegation
from Glenwood Lodge by special
invitation, and a number of visit
ing brethren, swelling the atten
dance to fifty-two men. This
was considered a very represen
tative attendance, the inclement;
weather considered.
Oysters and coffee were served
in the dining hall of the hotel
and the needs of every one werej
carefully looked after by Mrs. ,
Johnson. The oysters were of
the finest variety and in greater?
volume than ordinarily found on
an occasion of this kind.
The supper was followed by
the installation of the newly elec
ted officers of Aural Lodge. This
was done by the visiting team
from Glenwood, as was also work
in the Fellow Craft and Master’s
degree. This work at the hands
of the visiting brethren was said
to have excelled anything ever
put on in the local lodge, the i
members of which are free in
praise of the assistance of the
Glenwood brethren.
The new officers of Aural Lodge
are as follows:
D. M. Currie, W. M.
J. C. McAllister, S. W.
N. A. Hughes, J. W.
F. M. Harris, S. D.
G. F. Garrett, J. D.
Carl Adams, Secretary.
J. T. Langford, Treas.
H. L. Keen, Tyler.
Cotton Seed or
Cotton Seed Meal.
When cottonseed meal, con
taining say 36 per cent protein
(so-called 7 per cent meal) costs
SSO a ton, cotton seed properly
fed are worth around $33 a ton.
If the seed must be hauled back
to the farm after ginning, or if
the meal can be hauled to the
farm instead of hauling the seed
back, that is if no extra hauling
costs are involved, we would
rather have a ton of cottonseed
meal for feeding than a ton and
a half of cotton seed.
The feeding values are about
the same, but a larger amount of
feed value, or a larger part of a
full ration can be supplied by
cottonseed meal than by cotton
seed, because there is an excess
of oil in the seed.
When cotton seed are cheaper,
they should be used to a limited
extent; but resentment toward
the low price of seed should not
lead us into the mistake of feed
ing them when they are not of as
good value.—The Progressive
Farmer.
