COTTONSEED MEAL AS A FEED AND AS A
FERTILIZER.

In North Carolina, over 100000 of CONNER
cial fertilizer are annually purchased. Fully half
of this immense amount is expended for cotton
seed meal. We are taking a feeding stuff and
using it as a fertilizer. 1t should be used first as
a food for farm animals and then when it be-
comes manure let it go to the soil.
A ton of cotton seed meal is worth $4,000 for
either feeding or for fertilizers. If that ton is
applied to the soil, it is worth but twenty-five
dollars to the user. If it is first fed to animals,
the user gets twenty-five dollars returns as food.
But the animal has used but one-fourth of the
elements in the ton, or five dollars and fifty cents
worth. There is left through feeding, sixteen dol
lars and fifty cents worth of manure.
DOUBLE PROFIT IN FEEDING.
The user, then, has a double profit in first using
as a feeding stuff and saving the weddings as a
manure as follows:
Value as a feeding stuff $4,000
Value as a fertilizer ............ 1850
Total $3.50
Had this cotton-seed meal simply been used as
a fertilizer, there would have been a loss of six
teen dollars and fifty cents per ton.
Every feeding stuff contains plant food; some
are very valuable as fertilizers, others relatively
poor. If an animal is fed rich food, rich manure
will be made; if poor food, then poor manure will
be made. Cotton-seed meal, cotton seed, COW
peas, COW pea hay, etc., are of distinct value in
this respect, while cotton seed bulls, corn stover
and corn are relatively low.
FERT1LIz1NG VALUE OF FEED sTUFFs.
To show the variation in fertilizing values of
feeding stutfs, the following table is arranged and
the valuation is made on the basis of materials
found in ordinary commercial fertilizers:

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-03-22

This table shows that the market price of cot
tOn-seed meal and its fertilizing value are ap-
prOximately the same. Consequently when this
material is used as a feeding stuff, the manure is
very rich IN fertilizing constituents. Comparing
1T with corn, ton for ton, there is a difference in
the manurial value of $16.16. While this factor
IN feeding is very important indeed, it is usually
overlooked.
A POINT IN PR ACTICE.
1t has been shown by repeated experiments that
a pound OF cotton-seed meal is equivalent to 1.13
pounds of corn, and that a pound of cotton-seed
meal IS worth 1.75 pounds of corn for fattening
purposes. Taking this in connection with the
above table, we will realize the immense value of
the cotton seed products for feeding and manurial
purposes. 1t teaches the student this important
lesson: He cannot afford to sell cotton seed and
buy corn as a substitute, even though the latter
is cheaper in price per ton. A loss follows both
In feeding and in the manure produced.

Boycott Street Cars.

The color line, as ordained by the city
council, was drawn on the street cars
for the first time on Tuesday morning.
The innovation was not relis he'd by the
Negro population of San Antonio. and
resentmt mt was demonstrated in a gene
raj boycott by the race of the street
cars. Owing to the exceedingly light
travel by colored people, the traction
company on Tuesday set apart only the
last seat of each car Tor the Negroes.
and there was always plenty of room
upon this seat throughout the day. The
presence of a Negro on the cars was a
rarity, the boycott being for the present
most completes. l5 is stated that
at all Of the religious meetings of the
Negroes on Sunday night word was
passed to keep off the cars and the in
Junction was obeyed. Here and there a
colored passenger was seen, and every
once In awhile some colored man who
declined to go into the rained-off portion
took his stand on the the rear platform
and thus surmounced his objection to
the innovation. There was no attempt
at disorder over the enforcement OF the
ordlnance.-San Antonio (Tex) Ex-

know how the Democrats feel
since Maine has spoken. WeShave felt
the same way ourselves. That State,
many will remember, was carried
against us by a fusion OF Greenbackers
and Democrats at the September cleo
ton in 1SS0-the year Garfield was
elected. The next day General Nathan
Goff, of Clarksburg, made speech
here. He spoke from the porch of
Thomas w. Fleming, Esq, next to the
Courthouse. Always eloquent, the
General made fine speech but it
aroused no enthusiasm whatever. The
Republicans were feeling too bad over
the news from the Pine Tree State
to clap a hand. Indeed, most of them
felt that the people wanted change,
as Indicated by the vote in Maine, and
that the great Garfield would be
beaten. But he wasn't, and under the
Maine swung back into line in the No
yember election and cast its electoral
vote for the Republican candidates
Garfield and Arthur. Never before OF
since the September elections Of that
year has the outlook been so gloomy
for the Republicans. Maine has been
steadfast 10 the faith since that time.
knowing that it would have a discour-
aging effect among the followers OF the
Rough Rider, the Democrats made
every effort during the late campaign
there to reduce the Republican major
ity. but as they utterly failed it is
easy to imagine nov" they feel 1t is
plain to them that they have nothing
to hope for--pla:n that the people are
still against them-afTaid to trust
them. AS in 1880. the Republicans
would have been greatly discouraged
and disheartened if their brethren in
Maine had spoken in an uncertain tone
last Monday. AS it is, they feel jubi-
Iant-feel that victory is certain in
November. How the Democrats viii
be able to keep up the fight is hard
to see. Most OF them, no doubt, feel
like throwing ND the sponge, but OF
course they cant lay down entirely.
But few will feel like contributing fur
Their TO the campaign fund. and we
have an idea that if Henry G.. could
recall his aid he would do SO instant
