How many pounds to a ton 2000 or 1500? fOW many pounds of real roughage are you getting to a ton? If you are buying old style hulls you are getting about 1500 pounds because they are about one-fourth lint which has no food value. 1 m o. If you are buying TRADE MARK COTTONSEED U ODULB-S F LINTLESS you are getting 2000 full pounds because they are free from lint and are practically 100 percent roughage. Try them' and see how much farther they go. Other Advantages No trash or dust. Sacked easy to handle. They mix well with other for age. . Cost much less per ton than old style hulls. Allow better assimilation of other food. Mr. W. C. Owens, Charlotte, N. C, feeds thirty cows. He considers Buckeye Hulls the -cheapest feed and gets the. best results'. . . To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hv&la thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes,. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half much by bulk as of old tyle hulls. Book of Mixed Feeds Free Gives the right formula for every combinatioh of feeds used in thd South. Tells how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fat tening, for work. Describes Buckeye Hulls and gives direction for using them properly. Send for your copy to the nearest mill. Dept. J The Buckeye Cotton Oil Co. Dept.

Colored Children Gave Splendid Per formance Yesterday Afternoon (By George J. King) Full of exceptional spiritual inspira tion, pathos and great religious truths and lessons from the moment the cur tain went up for the first act through to the last stanza of the "final act, the splendid Christmas play entitled "There Was No Room In the Inn For Him," Staged yesterday afternoon in the basement of St. Thomas' colored Catholic hurch; by the "students of its school, was the best religious drama setting forth the birth of Christ ever presented to a Wilmington audience by well trained colored children. The participants were perfectly trained and reflected the arduous la bors of Rev. Father Chas. B. Winckler and the sisters who are doing a great constructive work in character build ing among the colored children of this section. The scenes were truly typical oriental and each line beautifully acr ed by the children who were deeply imbued with the spirit of the play brought out vividly Jewish expecta tions regarding the coming of the Mes siah and the scenes strikingly associat ed the audience's mind with the period and surroundings of the natal day of the lowly Nazarene.
