COTTON-SEED MEAL.
Not Injurious to Calves if Fed in Modera-
ton.

/ titHs
One of our subscribers writes that his
neighbor has lost three calves from feed
ing cotton-seed meal, as he supposes,
and he asks what there is in this feed
that should be so fatal to calves.
| We have not recommended the use of
cotton-seed meal for young calves be-
| cause it is not all decOrtiCated, and the
husk of cotton seed is exceedingly tough
and indigestible, entirely unfit for a
| young calfs stomach. If the cotton
seed was well decorticated we do not
think that, fed in moderation, it would
iniure a calf. But it is exceedingly
rich in heterogeneous matter and oil, and
the calls stomach can stand but little
Of it. The young calf should not be
| given more than quarter to one-third
of a pound per day, and that should be
! boiled and fed with wheat middIings.
| Cotton-seed meal is not so laxative as
| lnseed meal, and not so soothing to the
stomach. The six-months calf can safely
be fed one pound of cotton-seed meal
per day, which in nine months may be
increased to one and one-half pounds
| per day. These rich foods should al
ways be given in small quantity to
| young animals, and always mixed with
with foods poor in nitrogen. In dairy
districts, where whey is used, which is
so poor in nitrogen and oil, little oil
meal will make up the deficiency, and
becomes a valuable addition. In COM
bination with corn meal, cotton-seed
meal has large feeding value for those
year old or over The deaths of the
calves mentioned may have been caused
by feeding too much and creating inham-

away from home affairs and to render it prob

but smaller that the Hudson. At its mouth it
expands into a broad harbor, which, however,
contains so many rocks and shoals as to make it
difficult of entry at certain seasons. The river
as you ascend it for the first ten miles flows be-
tween meadow lands of great fertility all Of
which are under perfect cultivation. The land

similar to that of Staten island from Bergen

miles beyond is the port of Foo o-Chow, the city
proper being three miles from the river Nearly
opposite the port is large lake or widening of
the river, which opens northward. so that its end
is almost west of the city. This lake is known as
Lee Hu, or the inner gulf It is always crowded
with vessels. Foreign craft, English steamers,
fishing junks from the harbor and neighboring
ports, freight and passenger junks from up the
river, RATS and pleasure boats make up feet

than by using them for freight, and besides these
handsome floating houses whose occupants are
