chopped pea hay the place of 1
pound of cotton seed meal. The
substitution of the pea hay for eth
Ell of the concentrates mentioned
must be made on the basis of the
protein equivalent.
5. Some 2.5 tons of pea hay can be
produced on an acre of average farm
lands at a cost of $3.50. The farm
price of the crop is about 800 per
ton; the farm sale price would thus
be about $3.50. Baled and placed
on the market it would bring about
$500.
g. The cost of a ton of bran at
low prices is, $1,000 or $3.50 less than
the farm sale price of 2.5 tons of pea
hay, Thoughts tons of pea hay have
twice the feeding value of wheat
bran. It is certainly to the interest
of the farmer to produce at least half
of the protein needed for his COW
through the medium of pea hay rath-
Ell than by the purchase of wheat
bran.
Z. According to the yield of pea
hay obtained at this station, it would
require IL acres of land to produce
the protein equivalent contained in
one ton of cotton seed meal. The
cost of producing the hay would be
about $1,000, its farm sale value
would be about $21.O0 and it's market
value some $4,000.
s. In addition, the pea crop would
store in the soil some 40 pounds of
atmospheric nitrogen worth $500,
and as they would cost the farmer
but $1,000, it would be better for him
to grow and utilize the peas in place
of cotton seed meal, unless he could
buy it for $4,000 or less, though it
would be to his interest to buy cot
ton seed meal at $4,000 to $24.OO a
ton rather than wheat bran, as he
would require to purchase some con
centrate.
9. While the substitution of Z
pounds of pea hay for 6 pounds of
wheat bran and 13 pounds of pea hay
for 4 pounds of cotton seed meal on
the basis of the protein equivalent
was thus very satisfactory, it is evil
dent that if it were desired to substi-
tute pea hay for 6 or s pounds of cot
ton seed meal that it would be diff
cult if not impossible to get the cat
tie to consume all the pea hay salts
factorily.
10. The results indicate that at
moderate prices and at even high
prices for foodstuffs, pea hay can be
substituted to advantage for wheat
bran; that at high prices for cowpea
hay and wheat bran, the latter would
have the advantage; at low prices
cowpea hay could be fed to advantage
with bran as a substitute for cotton
seed meal.
II. The net cost of a gallon of
milk at high prices varied from 81
cents with group II to SO cents with
group III. Here as elsewhere the

THREE YEAR FEEDING TESTS AT
THE TENNESSEE STATION.

Valuable Bulletins Just Issued Describ-
ing the Experiments and Setting Forth
the Conclusions.
Mr.. @. 81. Poe, Editor of The Pro-
gressive Farmer, Raleigh, N. @.
Dear Sir:-Under separate cover
I hand you a copy of our bulletin on
"The Relative Value of Protein in
Cotton-Seed Meal, Cowpea Hay and
Wheat Bran" and also one on "Feed-
ing Native Steers" The latter gives
the results of three years investiga-
tions. These publications have just
been issued though not distributed
as yet. They bring out some facts
that we think are of unusual impor-
tance and interest to the people of
the South, and we hope will do some
thing towards encouraging the devel-
opment of animal industries COM
mensurate with the needs of the
Southern people.
Thanking you for many past our
t%esies, believe me, with best wishes
to be,
Very respectfully,
ANDREW M. SOITTE.

agreed to play a game of cards to
see who should have the nomination
and against the nomination a sum of
S1,375 was put up. Bronson won,
but it is alleged that he, being unable

LAYING THE CABLE.
At San Francisco Is Started the
Great Commercial Enterprise.
Great Crowds Stood on the Beach and En-
Enthusiastically Cheered Gov. Cages
Daughter Christened the Cable. Using
Bottle OF California Champagne.


San Francisco, Dec. 13.-Thousands
of people assembled on the ocean
beach Friday morning to witness the
commencement of the laying of the
cable that is to bring Hawaii into
closer connection with the United
States, and which will eventually be
extended to the Philippines, bring
ing Uncle Sans newest island pos
mother country. Thousands OF
school children and their parents
gathered, and long before ten o'clock,
the official hour for the ceremony of
splicing the port end Of the cable
the beach was black with people, who
stood in good-natured silence on the
cold sands and in chilly atmosphere
awaiting the coming of the Silver
town. The great cable ship carries,
coiled up in her hold, nearly $500
miles of cable which will trace its
way over the mountains and valleys
that are hidden from human sight by
old ocean, but whose elevations and
descents have been accurately re-
corded by the survey ship Nero, and
furnished by the government to the
Pacific Commercial Cable company
for use in laying the cable.
When the prov of the big vessel
finally showed itself around the end
OF Seal Rocks, mighty cheer went
up from the assembled crowd. Cheer
upon cheer greeted the vessel as she
steamed to her designated anchorage
about mile south of the Cliff house,
to await favorable opportunity for
sending the end of the cable ashore.
The work of towing the end of the
cable to the shore was not accom-
plished without difficulty. AS the
end approached shore hundreds of
men, including the officials of the
cable company, laid hands upon the
tow line and assisted in bringing the
end to the beach. AS the splice end
emerged from the water a mad rush
was made for it, the crowds being
anxious to participate in the work
of landing the San Francisco end of
the first oceanic cable to be landed
on the shores of the Pacific on United
States territory. Finally the end
of the cable touched terra firma amid
continued cheering, with which was
mingled whisting of the great siren
of the Silvertown, and the many tug
boats and steam launches which had
gathered around the big vessel.
When the task of splicing the shore
end of the cable with the end of the
submarine cable was completed and
| the final coil of insulation wrapped
around the joined ends, Gov. Cages
little daughter christened the cable
| by breaking bottle of California
| champagne, encased in silver frame
and inscribed with the date and name
| of the cable steamer. The officials
of the cable company and Capt. Nor
| ton, of the Silvertown, confidently
| believe that communication with
| Honolulu will be established on
/ Christmas day.
