I in the manure; ca that nearly half of
I the fertilizing ingredients excreted is
found in the urine; 90 that both cot

| the grain feed of cattle without injury
| to their health: 90 that cotton seed
| and cotton seed meal, when fed to
| dairy COWS in proper quantity and
| properly combined with other feed do
not iniure the quality Of either milk
or butter
with corn at 40 cents per bushel
| (about the average price in this state)
a ton of cotton seed is worth $3.50 as
a feed for either beef cattle or dairy
| cattle. At present prices for CONNER
| cial fertilizers nitrogen costs about II
cents per pound and phosphoric acid
and potash each cents per pound.
Allowing these prices for the same in
gradients in manure we have 5000 as
the fertilizing value of the manure for
each ton of seed fed, making for a
| farmer a total value per ton of S25.79.
Farmers sell their seed for 81 to Sc per
ton. Some of them sell for 81 per ton.
I'm a similar way we find the feed
ing value of a ton of cotton seed meal
to be $28.56 and the manure to be
worth 1913 for every ton of meal con-
sumed, making a total value of $47.69
that a farmer might derive per ton by
first feeding the meal to cattle and
applying the manure to his land.
mississippi produced in 1S979S, L.,
627, 900 bales of cotton. This gave $780,,
600 tons seeds, which had a combined
feeding and manurial value of 800,
632, 900. Had the entire crop been sold
for SIS per ton it would have brought
only $4,000 000
THE cotton crop for the South the
same year was 100000 bales and s.,
600, 900 tons of seed having a combined
feeding and fertilizing value of $144,
424.000. At IS per ton the seed would
have brought S2S,0OO,00O. The farm
ers of Mississippi lost 1862, 900 on this
. one crop, and the farmers of the entire
cotton belt lost SIG, 900.
The present disposition of the cot
ton seed crop secures to the farmer a
very small part of it's real value, and
must of necessity give place to a prac-
tice that will secure to the farmer the
maximum benefit which he may de-
rive from this product.
THE time will come when the
Southern farmer will realize that the
fertilizing value in the cotton seed
must stay on the farm to maintain its
fertility and productiveness.
He will not always regard the mat
ter of hauling as of no consequence
| as something which he can do with
out cost. If the best disposition of
cotton seed is finally demonstrated to
be to extract the oil for human food
and for other commercial purposes,
and let the meal and hulls go back to
the farms to serve both as feed and
fertilizer, then, most likely. there will
, be a small oil mill at each ginnery
and oil and lint will be the only pro-
ducts Of the cotton crop sent to mar
ket.
The Southern farmer, however, need
not wait for oil mills He may get the
full value of his cotton seed by a ju-
| dicious system of feeding, accompanied
by the most careful saving and prop
er use of the manure"

The Corn Worm.

Gardeners almost throughout the
country are complaining bitterly of
the prevalence of the corn worm
(Heliothis armigera), in the ears of
their sweet or table corn. One of this
profession said that he had lost some
OF his best customers from the fact
that they had found the worms in
several of the ears of corn purchased
from him and seemed to think that
ne could have prevented the trouble
which so reVolted them.
The same insect is not infrequently
found boring into the fruit of the to-
mato, and in the South is only second
to the Mexican boil weeviI in it's in
Juries to cotton bolls. Its habits rem
der it impossible to reach it by poi
sons, and not enough of the moths are
captured by the lantern traps to SEN
slbly reduce their numbers, so that it
is truly a difficult pest with which to
contend.
What are called cultural methods
seem to afford the most efficient rene
dies. They consist in late fall plow-
ing and disk narrowing, or otherwise
thoroughly pulverizing the soil of all
fields of late corn, cotton, cowpeas and
tomatoes, where the insect has shown
user IN numbers, to throw out the
pupae-in which state the insect
passes the winter-and thus expose
them to frost, and as prey to birds
and other animals, which eagerly seek
them.
Market gardeners, whose customers
are unreasonable as we'll as fastidious.
should carefully examine and reject
every ear of corn or tomato that shows
traces of the presence of the worm
before taking their produce to market.

CONVICT SHOT BY GUARD.

AS a result of bold dash for liberty
made Friday near Tampa, Sam Lang
a prisoner at the county stockade near
Six-Mile Creek, will probably suffer the
same fate which recently made George
Houston, hackman, a local celebrity
Lang has been giving the convict
guards much trouble of late. Friday
he made a break to escape and ran
into the thick palmettoes alongside the
road on which the prisoners are at
work. Several guards were immedi-
ately in pursuit. Three shots were
fired at Lang and one of them took
effect. Lang was unable to run further
and was recaptured and taken to the
stockade. 1t was found that a Win
chester bullet had inflicted a wound
which Will probably necessitate a sur
gical operation similar to that per
formed by the mob on Hackman Hous-
ton. He will recover, but this opera-
ton will doubtless have to be per-
formed.

Kitchen Notes.

1t seems to me that we farmers
wives are very slow to work out our
own problems of mitigation and ameli-
grafton in the managing of our domes-
tic affairs, says a Georgia lady in an
exchange. We are too prone to accept
conditions as we found them set be-
fore us by precedent of our mothers
and grandmothers, and l know there
are many weakly women all over the
land who are bowed down under bur-
dens which they might tighten by in
telligent study of individual circum-
stances. For one thing, we accept 1t
as a law of the Modes and the Per-
slams that the dishes must be washed
three times a day. Now this may be
necessary in some cases, as where there
is a very large family, but have late
ly discovered that a household of six
can get along nicely with only one
dish washing in the day, and that in
the cool of the morning. Every Wom-
an knows that good part of what
many consider the drudgery OF dish
washing is in the preliminaries and
conclusion of the performance-the get
ting ready of the water at first, and
then the washing and rinsing of the
towels and basin. Now in the once
a-day plan, two-thirds of this is saved.
We use large fard pail to mold the
soiled dishes between times, and have
them all neatly stacked up, with the
silver and glass on top, then shut the
cover down tight, and set 1t away un-
til more convenient season, when the
mother is not all tired out with the
preparing of the meal. Thus there is
nothing unsightly to offend, and no
soiled things lying open to draw flies.
Another little discovery l have made
is that l can sew or write, or even
! rest, during a good part of the time a
dinner is cooking, by using one of the
hice steam cookers over a little blue
hame stove. and only light fire for
a little while to finish such things as
need the oven-I do not like to bake
in the small oven of my oil stove
Vegetables, stews, custards and pud-
dings are just as nice cooked this way,
or even nicer, and the vessels are much
easier to clean than in the old way
If one cannot have these two great
conveniences, then one may plan to
save a good deal of strength by doing
all the mixing of pastry. the preparing
of meats and vegetables, while the
kitchen is still cool, and not kindle
fire in the range at all, until every
thing is exactly ready to cook.
