I can not refrain from expressing to you
my grateful acknowledgement for tlio
uniform kindness and consideration
shown mo by tho memlwrs oflleers nnd
employes of the sonate During theso
years of toil and service I havo doubt-
less committed many blunders but to
correct them when discovered has been
a pleasure as it was a bounden duty
It is gratifying to mo to know that dur
ring my two years Hcrvico as president
of the senate tho mantle of charity has
been thrown over my errors whatever
they were for no ruling of mino has
been appealed fromnor am Iconhcious
that any olllcer or employo ever com-
plained or had eauso to complain of tho
manner in which I havo discharged my
official duties If nuy feel that thoy
havo not received at my hands tlio ful
lest consideration duo them I trust
that they will at onon banish tha thought
from their minds for nothing has l > ccn
moro foreign to my desires
In in y retirement rest assured that I
take with me the kindest feelings for nil
those with w horn I have Iwen associated
and in a few years when I shall look
back upon the past no spot along my
political pathway will call to mind so
many fond recollections as tho sen-

Nominal Value of Cotton Seed
J T Henderson Commissioner of
Agriculture of Oeorgla in a communi-
cation to tho Secretary of Stato pre
nrniM ftoniy useful information for tho
consideration nf tho planters nf the
cotton States Ho says that tho cil from
tho cotton seed possesses no valuo as-
a fertilizer and that consequently its
removal detracts nothing from tho valuo
of tho seed for agricultural purposes
but hoaddVTherois ono fact which I
am very desirous of impressing upon
tho mind of farmers viz that they can-
not afford to part with tho cotton seed
grown upon their farms at any
price unless their equivalent in manurol
valuo is returned to tho soil in some
form This may lio dono in several
ways tho most simple of which in by
an exchango of tho seed for an equiva-
lent in tho valuo of tho cottonseed meal
say 1000 pounds of tho meal deli-
vered at his depot It may bo returned
bvan application of aramoninted super
pbosphate The farmer can not afford to
s llhis cotton seed at loss than 20 cents
per bushel sinco ho can not with tho
money received at a lower price replace
the equivalent amount of cotton seed
Unless this is annually done tho dter
iorationof tho soil is certain Tho fol-
lowing analysis of cottonseed meal
shows tho percentages of valuable in-
gredients in cottonseed meal Cotton-
seed moid 011 moisture 2C5 total
phosphate acid 880 ammonia 245
potash
Ammonia is valued at 22 cenU per
pound phosphato acid at 12f conts
potash nt 0 cent According to tho
method of calculating the commercial
valuo of commercial fertilizers a ton of
cotton need meal Is worth 48G2 but it
contains an excess of ammonia wliich
would mako an application of tho meal
alono wasteful By mixing tho meal
however with a high grado superphos
phate nonammoniatod a very superior
fertilizer is obtained About tlio porpor
proportions would be ono of eottonsood
meal to two of superphosphate Tlie
ammonia in tho cottonseed meal
Is potential and becomes actual
only as tho particles of tho meal decern
as
ono ortwO weeks of extreme cold before
any serious effect hod been noticed It is
true that they havo drifted many miles to
wardstho mountains and that they con-
gregate in herds In rnilroud cuts but
this does not signify that tho migration
is made for better grass The collection
in places free from snow and wind is
made for shelter aud protection These
facts do not necessarily indicato that the
cattle aro on their last legs and resour-
ces On the ntitrary they come out of
the storm in excellent shape and unless
wo have another siege of bad weather
there will Imi no appreciated loss and
this snow fall will prove adsneflt in-
stead of an evil Tho statement that 1G
percent of tho eMtlo would din thin

tho obvious purpose of increasing prices

Well Indian agents were cheating

TexasWell
Well I think there was something
in it Jackson who had made all his
military reimtation ns a military chief
in tho southwest and thought ho saw
an opportunity for a bold man to re-
peat the experienco in Texas ami sym
pathizing with the Texnns the Kstof
whom wero from Tennessee and persou
nlly known to him Jackson thought
Houstou was just tho person to
bring that young stato out of her dan
gers and never chose a lietter man
Ah soon as ho got to Texas lie was
made a delegate to tho convention to
mako tho constitution Tho moment he
appeared in that convention overyliody
seemed to defer to him Ho chose tlie
post of general and although picked
at by half a dozen litto scamps fiomthe
southwestern stnte who had como to
Texas to bo great men ho laid down
his rank and was again elected by tho
republio with but ono dissenting vote
Ho took chargo of an army composed
of 374 men Tho Alamo had been tu
kenand Golian w as about to fall every
thing looked disaster and ruin At the
approach of Santa Anna when tho Tex-
an camp was seized with panic Hous
ton restored order to it made a long
and careful retreat knowing that as ho
approached tho east ho would bo pet-
ting reinforcements from tho American
states and finally at San Jacinto with
only two sixpower guns contributed by
tho rttjr of Cinoin t nd i little
of nlwut eight hundred men Houston
overturned Santa Annas army of twico
his nnfhbera composed of tho ln st vet-
eran in Meiico ami tho astonishing
nuralier of 030 wero killed and only 208
wounded whilo Houston lost about tho
number that Jackson did at New Or
leans eight killed and fivo wounded
Ho was shot in the ankle however His
wound mortified and nearly killed him
He seriouly did not want to bo presi-
dent of Texas but the popular feeling
compelled him to havo tho ofilce Ho
was inaugurated president of Texas in
1830 only seven years after ho had laid
down tho office of governor of Tennes

eight beans that wero act weighed 5G

rnngo cattlo aro branded with the pri
vato mark of tho owner This is chiefly
ilonc whilo calves tho ownership of tho
young animal lieing determined by tho
brand given its mother Iu Texas it was
once n legitimate and universal proctico
to capture any animal unmarked nnd
afllx your own brand to it no matter to
whoso herd it really belonged so long
as it was ono year old and unbrnnded
During tho year just following tho
breakup of the war branding Maver-
icks as theso young unmarked animals
wero termed was tlio most profltabla
business a cattlo man could follow
Their attention was chieiiy directed o
females which woro found in great
abundance ranging from 1 to years
old Tlio queer titlo then ltcstowed up-
on theso unbranded animals still clings
to them It is derived from an old
Frencliman named Mauvrie who began
stockraising in that section with n very
fowheadof cattle and in a remarkably
short space of timo had secured an enor-
mously largo herd It was llnnlly dis-
covered that ho actually branded fifty
