The Feedfng value OF oats.

The price paid farmers for oats at the
present time is lower than for many years,
perhaps the lowest in the history of the
United States, writes Prof. Plumb of the
Experiment station. From 1870 to 1895 the
lowest average value for oats in the Uni
ted States in any one year was 229, for
1882 The quotations on oats in Chicago
markets to-day are 10 to u cents less per
bushel than for a year ago at this time.
cents per bushel for No. 2 white oats, and
extra choice old oats can be bought of
commission men for 20 cents.
One hundred pounds of average oats
and corn are each supposed to contain the
following amounts of food nutrments that
are digested by the animal body:
Protein. Carbohydrates. Fat
Oats ...........s.25 dS e. 4dS
Protein is the flesh or muscle forming
material while carbohydrates and fat
foods, protein is the most expensive to
produce The so-called rich" foods, are
so designated on account of having a
larger per centage Of protein than the
others, and they are usually the highest
priced foods in the market, Oil meal is
a good example of this class of foods con-
tanning a large per cent, of protein.
From the above it can be seen that 100
pounds of oats contain decidedly more
flesh or muscle forming food than 100
pounds of corn.
on the basis of Lafayette quotations.
100 pounds of oats would fetch 30 cents,
and 100 pounds of corn As cents.
In view of these extremely low prices
the writer believes feeders will do well
to feed oats, rather than sell them and
buy bran, which is now 70 cents per 40.

North Carolina Experiment Station
In applying so large a quantity as 1900
pounds of such materials, TO an acre and
for crops of any kind, we found out many
years ago that it was not well to apply it
all in one furrow but to divide it up he
tween three and sometimes five) burrows
In droughty weather such concentration
of manure in a single furrow will inva-
riably produce i'll consequences. That has
been our experience, and it has been sus-
tanned by various practical cultivators

sonably rich in humus and lime there
would be little clear profit from a crop of
peanuts so fortified. As rule 200 pounds
of such a mixture would be better.-Editor

One of the marvels of modern civiliza-
ton is the enormous production and con-
sumption of the Irish potato says the
Farmer and Fruit Grower. it is a very
convenient vegetable or tuber. both to
grow and to keep; when properly prepar-
ed it is appetizing; and yet it is almost
fouI-fifths water and the remaining fifth
is nearly pure starch, which is diffieult TO
digest. 1t lies in the stomach like a mass
of dough. 1t causes sluggishness of ac-
ton. A German savant is quoted as say
ing that the potato is the cause of the in
dolence of nations.
Mr.. John Gilmer Speed has theory that
the potato is mainly responsible for our
great national ailment dyspepsia.
DR.. Cyrus Edison OF New York Joins i'm
the attack upon the potato, and declares
that 1t is almost criminal to feed it TO
young children.
The potato belongs to the same botan-
zeal family with tobacco and nightshade.
the solanaceae, and1t iseweli known that
in spite of its long domestication, there
is remnant of poison in 1t, called solanin,
especially when it is allowed to turn green
in the sunshine.
There are people-the writer has known
some of them-who, after suffering in
digestion for years from some unknown
cause, at last discovered that by abstain
ing from potatoes they were freed from
this trouble.
Yet it is one of the best paying crops
the average farmer can grow, and the
production goes on piling up into the
hundreds of millions of bushels. The
crop of the United States this year has
been estimated by the department of ag-
riculture as high as 270OOO,00O bushels
There is no doubt that to many the
Irish potato is quite a poison or the next
thing to it. Dyspeptics should avoid il as
such. one philosophic writer has gone
so far as to say that If one would find
the true cause for Irelahd's present sad
condition he need only regard the food
and stimulant of that unfortunate race

two combined has sunk and will further
sink poor ould Ireland" morally, men

The NeeI al the sonth.

No section of the union is just now at
tracing more attention than what is
commonly known as the south, says he
Stockman 1t is conceded on all hands
that we need and that we Will have in
the near future, great agricultural inn
provement in charge of crops, methods
of tillage and preparation. The abund-
ance of hard woods and building material
will bring Industrial development that
will greatly increase our wealth. Meth
er one nor all of them constitute the
greatest need of the south. We venture
to believe that the one thing the most to
be desired for prosperity at the south is
the active identification of well educa-
ted, intelligent young men with our rural
development and work in our country dis
trictS. Something must be done to make
the country attractive TO educated peo-
pie, and then the educated people must
be found from among our own young
generation to take hold of what is known
as the rural problem with a strong pur-
pose to work its solution. TO do this,
we must concentrate our rural interests
and begin to work to relieve the country
of it's objections and it's peculiar inter-
ests of their drudgery.
1t is folly to spend years discussing
changes and never set about making
them. 1t eVinces lack of patriotism, not
to mention a concern for self-interest, to
know the demands of our community and
not set about their realization. The boys

1t is a very common question with a
farmer whether or not it is to his interest
to exchange his cotton seed for meal, and
if so on what basis. To warrant the ex-
change what amount of meal should he
get for his seed?
Most farmers understand that the oil
in the seed has no material value, and
considering the greater ease of handling
and applying the meal its use would be
preferred, and the farmer would be will
ing to give the oil for the grinding, and
incur the trouble of hauling both ways to
make the exchange. But how much more
will the mill charge for the grinding. He
can find out only by questioning the mill
agent.
In a ton of cotton seed are 6G2s bush
els. Say the mill pays him 70 cents per
a ton. What ought the mill to charge
him for the meal?
