COTTON SEED OIL CAKE.-As a matter
Of interest to many of our readers, we
re-publish< the following article from the
Missouri Democrat, of January 9, 1857.
The figures in it are, of course, gold va
lues Heretofore, our farmers have only
been able to use cotton seed as manure,
for which it is undoubtedly good, as, in
deed, corn or wheat, or any other grain,
would be; but it does not follow from
that, that using it as manure is not very
great waste. The kernel of the seedds q
highly organized and extremely rich ani-
NAL food. When the planter uses it as
manure, he attempts to feed vegetable
upon it, or to make plant food of it. TO
accomplish this, the seed must be decom-
posed; and it can be done in two ways;
| first, by rotting it in his manure pile,
and second, by feeding it to his stock,
whose digestive organs assimilate it, and
its decomposition in the blood is the life,
warmth and strength Of the animal. AS
soon as this decomposition within his
muscles has reduced the seed from the
highly organized condition of animal
food to the lower ono Of plant food, the
animal system discharges it, enriched
with all the secrctions of the body, and
it goes to the compost heap the strongest
stable manure k.oon in the ,oorld, being
four times as valuable as the manure
from corn. and thirty times rs valuable
as that from turnips, simply because the
kernel of cotton seed is far richer food
than either corn or tu,nips. Evidently,
then, to use cotton seed as manure is to
throw away in the heat of the manure
pile chemical affinities which, if satisfied
within the body of an animal, would be
so much life, strength and work. It is
to throw away the difference in value be-
tween so much plant food and so much
