BY an easy calculation we find that
one ton of cotton seed is equal in fertl.
izing value to $50 pounds of cotton seed
meal. This estimate takes no account
of the superior mechanical condition Of
the meal nor its greater concentration.
This may be assumed to be equivalent
to 8 per cent. i'll favor of the meal.
Then III round numbers it may be safely
assumed that 800 pounds of meal are
equal III fertilizing value to one ton Of
whole seed. 1t is then clear that the
farmer cannot afford to make the ex-
change on this basis, unless tire mill
will pay the expense Of hauling the seed
and the meal
II. now, the mill will give /. 100 pounds
Of meal in exchange for one ton Of seed,
the farmer to do the hauling, the latter
will receive 300 pounds OF meal to pay
him for hauling the seed one way and
the meal back. At $500 ton for
meal the 300 pounds Of meal would DO
worth $2.70. So any farmer can de.
termine for himself how far he can haul
ton OF seed for $270.
But II farmer will feed the meal to
his cattle he can afford to exchanfe his
seed FOR even less than /. 100 pounds OF
meal III exchange for ton of seed; be.
cause the manure from the ], 100 pounds
OF meal, II all Of it we're carefully
saved and economically handled. wezld
be worth at least g. 20, or 70 cents per
hundredweiRht OF meal fed Hence,
rather than use the seed direct as fer.
tilizsr, it v uld be better to exchange
the seed fol meal and feed the meal TO
cattle. and ave the manure. even at
less rate of exchange than 800 pounds
Of meal for one ton OF seed.

The Station has just finished shred,
dina the corn stalks from five acres of
corn. The crop was very much injured
by the extreme heat and drouth. and
the yield Of grain was cut of ut least rs
per cent The corn was cut down just
above the surface of the ground Aug.
80 and Immediately shocked, placing
about $50 stalks in each shock and tying
the top Of each shock with Irvine. No
rain fell on tho shocks and the ears were
Ehusked out Oct. 8, and the stalks imme.
lately run through the shredding ma
Sne, being apparently perfectly dry.
yield of the Ave acres was as fol-
EyAelled corn. ................. loo bus
Shredded stalks, or slower. IL. 900 lbs
This represents u yield per acre OF 81
bushels of shelled corn aud 2. 500 pounds
Of dry corn hay. which is believed to
be very nearly equal i'll feeding value to
good Timothy hay. In the above total
yield Of corn hay 10 included the blades
and shucks which are almost uni.
versally saved and utilized by Geor.
gla farmers But there is also
included i'll the 1880 lbs Of corn hay
about 1900 lbs of the stalks, which are
usually permitted to remain on the
ground and nonutilized as food. This
1900 pounds represents the food loss for
every 81 bushels Of shelled corn. The
corn crop of Georgia, for convenience,
may be stated at 81 million bushels
sometimes less, often more. Then at
1900 pounds Of corn hay, heretofore not
saved. for every 81 bushels OF corn, the
total loss i'll the State would be 1900
lbsx1. 600, 000=l 800 million pounds. or
$50. 900 tons Of corn hay, very good
food, and worth at least ten dollars O
ton, or o total of So. 500. 900. or about
enough to pay for all the commercial
fertilizers used in Georgia in one year!
This may be considered a remarkable
statement, and it will IL oubt surprise

about it, and who has {. >"ps) imag-
ined that he has been very saving and

RAILROAD TALK.
The Limited to Come By
Sinner.

The Yoakum Herald has the
following to say:
The northbound night passenger
train of the Arkansas Pass over the
Southern Pacific track from San
Antonio to Flatonia and thence
over the Arkansas Pass track to
Cameron, is looked upon asa losing
enterprise. When it was first
undertaken, three plans were pro-
posed. One was to run as at pres
ent, only that the train was to go
to Waco. The next was to end the
run at Cameron, making connec-
ton there with the Santa Fe. The
last was to run the train over the
Arkansas Pass track all the way
from San Antonio to Waco. The
first plan was tried and given up
as improbable. The second is now
in operation, but it is commonly
reported in railroad circles hat IT
is not doing. any better than th5
first and is to be abandoned as
soon as the contracts with other
roads expire, which they will dc
within two or three months. The
natural inference is that the third
and last plan will be given trial
1t was believed at the very first
that it would pay, even if the
others failed, for the expense is very
much lighter when railroad runs
a train over it's own tracks than
when it runs it over the tracks of
another company. The only OBJ
lection to the last plan, to run the
train via Kennedy and Yoakum, is
that the distance is longer To
run at the same speed. about an
hour and half more time would
be required, but by increasing the
speed, all or much of this might be
made up.
If the northbound night train of
the Arkansas Pass is to be run via
Yoakum, as it is now believed it
soon will be, it is the desire of at
least some of the postal officials to
arrange for a pouch mail service
on the night freight east of Yoa-
kun to connect with the night
passenger train here.

DEAD SET.

A story is told of Parson Thorn
berry, who preached through this
section Of country several years ago
but who is now dead. He was
holding revival meeting at Messy
Grove and was meeting with poor
success. For two weeks he ham
mered away without getting a
mourner or convert. Finally on
the last night of the meeting he
made proposition. "All of you
who desire TO go to heaven stand
up" There was painful silence
and nobody moved. Now then, :"
said the parson, pale with chagrin
and vexation, "all those who want
to go to h keep your seats"
Nobody moved. well then, go to
h. all of you if you are so dead

book and bible he started for the
