CorroN SEED OH MEAL FOR CATTLE.
From a very careful observer in New
Hampshire, we have received letter
concerning some experiments made last
season in feeding cotton seed oil meal 10
milch cows, the results being very satls-
factory so far rs the cows were affected.
They gave liberal quantities OF good rlch
milk. and gained in weight 50 they made
GOOD beef by the end of the trial. but the
skinned milk being fed to calves to be
raised, appeared to affect them iniurously,
causing loOseness of the bowels, border
ing very closely on disease. After the
cotton seed was withheld from the COWS
the calves recovered. This fall, the ex.
pertinent was repeated with like results.
The cows were given about two quarts ot
cotton seed meal per day, in addition to
corn meal and wheat shorts.
The writer would like to learn if Others
have had like experience in feeding calves
upon milk given by cows which have been
fed upon cotton seed meal. Our cores
pondent would not wish to prejudice any
one against the use of cotton seed meal
for cows but is anxious to obtain any facts
bearing on the subject. 1t must be
remembered that cotton seed meal is one
of the richest foods That are fed to milch
cows, and that, according to chemical
analyses, Il small ration fed daily, in con-
nection with inferior fodder, like swale
hay, or Over-ripe straw, makes such
inferior food equal to good English hay.
Now. if two gu ,rts of this meal is given
in addition to corn meal and shorts, or
other grain, in liberal quantity, and good
English hay, it makes in excessively rich
feed. mixture that many cows could not
follow and long remain healthy We
have very little doubt that the rich food
given. of which cotton seed meal formed
a part, caused the securing of the calves.
Two quarts of cotton seed meal is very
liberal ration, given with other hearty
foud, although we have known cows for a
while to do well when eating double that
amount. In feeding cotton seed meal, one
should begin with small quantities; n pint
day is enough, but the quantity may be
safely doubled after IA short time, and If
the other food is poor, may again be
doubled. One quart per dav is rs much AS
we should feel safe in giving. in connect.
ion with plenty of other grain and good
hay.
We shall be glad to hear from other
correspondents who may have had exper-
fence in feeling cows and and calves in
the way mentioned by our correspondent,
The subject is proper one for farmers
clubs to take up not only for discussion
alone, but for actual experiment, that
facts may be obtained which can be de-
pended upon.-NcoO England Farmer.

THE VALUE OF HEN MANURE.-Should
all the droppings from the rOosts by hens
be carefully saved in barrels, and every
spring and fall this manure he composted
with any good soil or muck from swamps,
and kept a few mOnths-its value for any
crop would be equal to Peruvian guano,
and might, think, be estimated at nifty
cents per fowl per annum. From nifty
hens saved about ten barrels of pure hen
guano during the year. What | saved
from November to April | compost in the
spring with soil First l spread soil in a
circle to the depth of three or four inches;
then spread hen manure about an inch
deep; then spread another layer OF soil,
till the heap is completed, using about
four times the bulk of soil that | do OF
manure, the last layer being soil. The top
of this compost heap | make Hat to catch
the rains; then | cover with any refuse or
straw, then place some sticks OF wood or
boIrds against the covering to keep it in
place, and in two or three months it is
ready for use, h wing become thoroughly
incorporated with the soil, but rs the sea-
son for planting is then nearly past,I leave
the heap till the next season, when L use
it with what | compost in November
Perhaps it would be better to make a
compost in March, where the climate will
admit, and use the manure for crops
planted the last of Nav or early June; but
| can discover no loss by keeping it till
the next season A gill of this compost in
II hill of corn will be equal in effect to hall
shovelfu of manure Woodbury. NeDS.
