poos COTTON SEED MEAL.

4 correspondent reports that he "can
find no other than inferior cotton-seed
meal on the market" Several OF the
stations have reported an inferior quslity
of this meal on the markets, aud analyses
have shown I'm several cases no more
than half the food nutrients contained in
meal of standard quality. Whether
some mills are adulterating their output
Of this article, or what Is the cause OF
the inferioritv, does not appear. The
mstter, however, Is worth looking after.
We are not aware that up 10 the present
time any attempt has been made IN tins
state to call public attention 10 the mat
ter. We would suggest that any one
having cotton seed meal of a suspicious
appearance send pound sample by mall
to the experiment station at Orono, with
letter stating circumstances, and re
questing that an analysis be made and
reported rs early as practicable. \
