Cotton Seed Poisoning. . | It is well known that the feed- -for-voveror—of Missouri—on_the} .|has demonstrated real Progressive 8 leach and three of eight each. ing of cotton seed meal for a long} A True Progressive. Judge Albert D, Missouri Progressive chieftain heretofore intimately associated with Roosevelt and other Pro- gressive leaders, and candidate Nortoni, the Progressive ticket in 1912, has announced his support of Presi- dent Wilson and will take an active part in the eampaign. He has resigned from the Missouri Appellate Court, to which he was elected for a twelve year term as a Republican, so that he can con- sistently support the Demoératic candidate, b Judge Nortoni says that. Wilson ideals, while Hughes is a typical New York lawyer wedded to the ideas and ideals of Big Business. | He contrasts the federal reserve law, the rural eredits law, the child labor law, the proposed scientific tariff commission and the shipping bill, all Wilson meas- |. ures, with Hughes’ opposition as governor of New York to the in- come tax amendment and his veto of the two-cent fare rate bill, and the total lack, as evidenced by his speeches, of any real constructive program, Judge Nortoni asserts that a great many true Progressives, re- senting the betrayal of the party by former Bull Moose leaders, will suport Wilson. Paris Man Makes Some Profit on Hog Deal. Paris, Mo, Aug. 26.—George Hayden sold two hogs at Paris re- cently for $80.55. The biggest one weighed 600 pounds and brought 9 cents a pound, a total of $54. Hayden brought in eleven others averaging 200 pounds and’ sold them at $9.40. The 600-pound hog Was a sow he bought from Dave Buerk, Tle bought a male shoat at the same time, paying $40 for the two, Mrs, Hayden laughed at him so heartily for paying $40 for the two 10-pound~ shoats - that George decided to keep tab on the nvestment. The sow brought him six litters of pigs, three of six He id not lose a pig. The forty-two brought an average of $15 apiece, a total of $630. Add to this the period of time to stock may cause great injury to them. Greatest harm comes in feeding this meal to young pigs and calves. If fed in small amounts and in connec- tion with pasture, or if the meal | is cooked it does no harm. | Some investigators have } thought that the injury was done | by the oil it contains. ° Others lay | it to the hard hulls or coarse fiber | often found in the meal; still oth- ers say that the injury comes from moulds found in the meal. No matter what the cause, cotton seed meal must be fed with can- tion. Ifere are a few good rules to follow” when feeding cotton seed meal: ; 1. Never feed Targe quantities of the meal. P 2. Never feed to young pigs or calves except in connection with je ; the moulds. 3. Never feed stock on cotton seed meal for a long period at a stretch. ‘ If the farmer who wishes to feed cotten seed meal will follow these simple rules, he will have no trouble with, cotton seed pois- oning. * Clark Pays His Own Expenses in Maine.
