How to Keep Apples.

B. n. B.; Griffin, Ga. | have some
Yates apples still on the trees which
want to save for future use. How is the
the best way to keep them? Please give
me all you know about it and oblige.
Answer by HUGH n. STARNEs, Hort
oulturst.
There is no better way to keep them
than to barrel them. Do not gather
until fully ripe and then pack tightly,
forcing in until there is no chance of
their rolling and jolting; this would
bruise them and start decay. At the
North every farmer has a sort of clamp
fastening to top and bottom of barrel
with which the head can be pressed
into place with considerable force, as
the top of grape basket is forced down
by hand in order to prevent injury
from jolting in long shipments.
After heading up put the barrels in
a cool place with uniform tempera.
ture where there will be no danger
from freezing, and your apples. ought
to keep perfectly sound for mon this.
The Yates has general reputation as
good keeper, though have not found
them so. In this particular they will
not compare with ,ShOckleN though a
much better apple in quality.
Many persons keep apples we'll in
this climate by covering with Cotton
Seed, and have seen them keep this
way as late as April in thorough condi-
ton. Care must be taken, however,
not to bury them in bulk, but they
must be distributed through the seed
1t is also necessary not to have so large
pile of seed. 1t is also necessary not
to have so large pile of seed as to run
any danger from heating. Just suffi:
Gent to keep them from freezing is all
that should be used.
The use of sand is troublesome and
not recommended except where cotton
seed are not obtainable, and the grower
has no faith in barrelng. Try barrel.
ing once. and it is not probable that
you will desert it for any other method.

Cotton Meal and Hulls as Cattle Food.

j. w. Smith & Co., Brunswick, Ca.
Can YOU give us any information as to the
effect of feeding cotton meal and hulls to
cattle-whether the tendency is to fatten
them? Are they injurious, and how long
before such effects would be noticeable?
answered by the Director
In replySI send you copy of Bulle.
tin No. Fl, which contains the report of
an experiment in feeding hulls. There
is now no question as to the value and
wholesomeness of cotton seed meal,
when fed within reasonable limits,
whether for producing milk and but
ter, or for beef Five or six pounds of
cotton meal per day, or even more,
may be fed to a beef animal without
any danger; but the butter will be in.
jured in quality if more than or 4
pounds per day are fed to cow. Re-
cent feeding experiments at some of
the Experiment Stations indicate that
long continued feeding of cotton meal
tends to impair the digestive powers of
a COW. especially when no other grain
is fed in connection with the meal.
1t would be well, therefore. to use
an equal quantity Of wheat bran. or a
mixture OF bran and corn meal with
the cotton meal. and occasionally leave
off the cotton meal entirely for a week
or two. The following is an outline
of the experiment alluded TO the details
of which will be found in Bulletin No.

The only difference between the two
formulas consisted in substituting. in
Ration 2, ten pounds of cotton seed
hulls (all the cows would eat) in place
of the thirty pounds of sorghum en-.
silage in Ration /. Eight COWS were
selected for the experiment., and were
fed one week ON the same ration, as
preliminary to the eight days test
which was to follow. The cows were
also weighed at the conclusion Of the
preliminary test, and their milk tested
for butter fats with a Babcock tes ter
The following is the record:
The eight COWS fed one week on Ra.
ton No. gained in weight pounds.
The eight COWS fed during the same
week on Ration No. 2, lost in weight
80 pounds.
The eight cows fed for one week on

milk. The eight COWS fed for the same
time ON Ration No. 2gave 1,047 pounds
of milk. The difference in weight of
milk produced in favor of No. l; was
141 pounds, Or l6 Ia gallons. The ex.
pertinent indicates that 10 pounds of
cotton seed hulls are not equivalent to
30 pounds of Sorghum ensilage. In
the next experiment direct COM
parison was made between cotton hulls
and corn ensilage.
The scheme Of the experiment. was
this: Two lots of four COWS each were
selected. The first lot was to be fed on
corn ensilage alone, and the second lot
on cotton seed hulls alone, for 8 days.
The lots were then to be. transposed,
the second lot to be fed on ensilage and
the first lot ON hulls. But the expert
ment was discon tinued at the close of
the first period of days because of
the alarming shrinkage in both flesh and
milk of the COWS that were fed on hulls
alone. The first lot of four cows fed
on ensilage alone neither gained nor lost
in weight but the daily yield of milk
fell from 1874 pounds on the first day
of the test to IS. o pounds on the last
day srinkage of nearly 10 pounds.
The second lot Of four cows, which
were fed on hulls alone, lost ia pounds
in weight during the days, and their
daily yield of milk fell from 81.7l

If the mill man gives the farmer 800
pounds of meal for one ton of cotton
seed (only 90 pounds more than the ton
of seed contains) he still has marketa-
BILE products to the amount of $7.6S,
less the value of 80 pounds of meal, or
about $3.50. Out of this margin of
$780, net products of each ton of seed,
expenses, interest, wear and tear, profit
ON capital, etc? We are not prepared
to say. but it seems good wide mar
gin, and that the farmer should have
at least the value of 400 pounds of
meal, or say SD worth, which would
leave ST. 30 per ton to the mill out of
which to pay the above recited charges.
This would be equivalent to basis of
exchange of 1900 pounds of meal for
2,00O pounds of seed, freights to be
paid both ways by the farmer.
The oil contained in the seed is prac-
tically worthless as a fertilizer, as it
contains no element that is Of value as
plantfood. But it is a valuable ingre-
dent in food for cattle, and when re.
fined it is almost exclusively used as a
substitute for olive oil and in the man
ufacture of lard and imitation butter.
The fertilizing elements contained in
cotton bulls, valued at the same prices
per pound as used above, would make
these worth about $3.50 per ton as a
fertilizer.
But, in fact, the hulls are so slowly
available that farmer could not afford
to give that price for them as fertil-
izer He could afford. however. to pay
that price, or even more, if to be used

A TERRIBLE v1sITANT.

Paine is always a terrible visitant,
and often domiciles itself wiCh one for
life. This inhlction is preventible, in
cases of rheumatism, by at imely resort
to Hostetters' Stomach Bitters, which
checks the encroachments of this obsti-
nate and dangerous malady at the out
set. The term dangerous" is used
advisedly, for rheumatism is always
liable to attack the vital organs and
terminate life. No testimony is more
conclusive and concurrent than that
OF physicians who testify to the excel
lent effect of the bitters in this disease,
Persons incur a wetting in rainy or
snowy weather. and who are exposed
to draughts. should use the bitters as
G preventive of i'll effects. Malaria, dys-
repsia, liver and kidney trouble, ner-
vousness and debility are also among
the ailments to which this popular
medicine is adapted. For the inlirrni-
ties, soreness and stiffness of the aged
it is highly beneficial.
