Cotton Seed and Meal.

The cotton seed problem is low be-
fore the cotton growers. Shall they
sell to the oil mills for casf, or eA-
change for meal. or keep on the farm:
They will do one or the other. what
is best? Consider some Of the facts
connected with seed and their pro-
ducts. The following figures are ap-
proximately correct:
A ton Of seed, 66 % bushels. Will
yield
74O pounds Of meal.
300 pounds of oil.
900 pounds Of hulls. 4
40 pounds Of linterS.
20 pounds of waste.
The cash value of these products at
the mill, where the meal shows seven
per cent. nitrogen, is about S22.O0.
When the mill pays seventy-tve cents
a hundred pounds for seed It has q
s12.O0 margin to work on:
Suppose the farmer should exchange
his ton Of seed for meal. How mucn
should he receive? The usual price
of meal at this season is about s22.OO
a ton CASH equal to the value of the
products Of one ton of seed. AT that
rate he would receive 1860 pounds
of meal for his ton Of seed. Is tEat
profitable trade. or not? The hauling
both ways Is worth $500.
A ton of cotton seed contains
76 pounds Of ammonia.
25.4 pounds of phosphoric acid.
23.4 pounds of potash.
The commercial value Of that at
port is S13.25.
The experience Of many good farmers
is that seed used as fertilizer are
more satisfactory than the meal, or
commercial fertilizer. The commercial
value of the plart food in one bushel
of cotton seed is twenty-one cents.
Should the farmer sell at that price
he will lose his hauling and trouble.
He will lose if he sells his seed for
less than twenty-five cents bushel.
In exchanging for meal he should get
at least 1900 pounds for one ton OF
seed. No farmer can afford to sell his
seed for cash with the expectation OF
buying commercial fertilizer on time in
the spring.
Chemists will tell you that the seed
are worth as much as food for cattle
as the meal. The mistake that most
farmers make is that they give too
much seed BY feeding the seed to
cattle and saving all the manure the
greatest benefit is derived. Let farm

Food Value OF Alfalfa.

Food Value OF Alfalfa.
Alfalfa Will enable a farmer to cut
down his feed bills. 1t is great sub
stitute for bran, offal and other mill
feeds. 1t is the best feed for the dairy,
for all kinds of young stock. Hogs,
wii,ter we'll on it. with but little grain.
The following is summary Of a most
interesting test by the State Expert
ment Station in feeding. alfalfa to-
cows:
1.-The cost of producing milk and
butter can be greatly reduced By re-
placing part of the concentrates in the
daily ration of the COW with some
roughness rich in protein, such as alf-
alfa or cowpea hay.
"A ton Of alfalfa or pea hay can be
produced at q cost Of So to So per ton.
whereas wheat bran costs $50 to $25.
AS yield Of from two to three tons OF
pea hay and from three to FIVE tons Of
alfalfa can be obtained from AN acre
Of land, it is to see the great advantage
the utilization of such roughness, In
the place of wheat bran, gives the
dairyman.
3 - In substituting alfalfa hay for
wheat bran it will be best in practice
to allow one and one-half Of alfalfa to
each pound Of wheat bran, and IL the
alfalfa is fed in finely chopped condi-
tion the results will prove morebsatis-
factory.
4-When alfalfa was fed under the
most favorable conditions a gallon OF
milk was obtained for 81 cents and q
pound of butter for 10.4 cents. When
pea hay was fed the lowest cost Of a
gallon of milk was 80 cents, and
pound of butter was 9.4 cents. In lo-
calities where pea hay grows well It.
can be utilized to replace wheat bran.
and in sections where alfalfa can be
grown it can be substituted for pea hay
with satisfaction.
5-These results, covering two years
tests with different sets of cows, fur
nish proof that certain forms Of rough
ness rich in digestible protein can be
substituted with satisfaction for the
more expensive concentrates and
should lend encouragement to dairy
farms.-G. w. KOiner, Commissioners
of Agriculture, Richmond, Va.

Leaving Clover With Too Much Top.

full of nodules The second growth is

and kill the clover for next crop? y Is
the fact that this land is well suited to
clover any assurance that 1t is also in
oculated for the Successful growth OF

1t is not advisable to let second crop
clover remain OH the land during the
fall and winter. as it is almost certain
to smother ont the crop. 1t would be
better for you to cut it for seed ana
thresh and feed the straw and ehaff to
sheep and lambs during the winter.
They will do we'll on 1t, and there viii
then be little danger Of smothering out
the stand. The fact that the roots or
your red clover plants show large
number Of nodules is not an insurance
that the soil is in9culated for alfalfa.
1t seems that there isSome specific diff
ference between the bacteria which In
oculate red clover and alfalfa, and SD
far as we know at the present time the
one will not act favorably on the roots
of another plant 1t would therefore
be wise and expedient for you to pro-
vide special inoculation if you intend
to SOW this land to alfalfa.-Answer by

From Browns there is a shortcut

weaknesses which were evidently not
apparent to those who took it over from
the contractor. The retaining wall, on
ly foot-wide buttress of piled-up
stones, the road filed in with earth
and rubble, has given away in many
sections from the pressure of rain
soaked soil and this has left dangerous
openings.

LANTANA BLIGHT.


| Blight is making the lantana pest a
\ thing of the past on Molokai. Origin
ally, the blight which turns lantana
black, almost to the condition of char
| local, was used, but the process, while
lsure, Is also very slow. A new blight
has been turned loose on the lantana,
which turns 1t brown, stripping the
bushes of leaves in an incredibly short
time This blight is playing havoc with
the pest and, what is very satisfactory
the blight pays no attention whatever

| Only last week a well-to-do Japanese
came to Pukoo from Lahaina Maui, in

was to inspect the famed fishponds
and get knowledge of the fishing rights
with the view to leasing them for a
term of years. The Jap is said to rep
resent hui which proposes to can is
land fish for the purpose of supplying
the japanese on the plantations. If the
project goes through, II means the be-
ginning of an industry on Molokai
which the promoters believe will prove

Thriving freight and passenger business
is carried on. The visit of the steamer
lat each port is the event of the week,
and the landings are always crowded
with men, women and children. 1t is a

laffords a means of exchanging the gos-
lsip of the community. The Likelike is
commanded by Captain Naopala, one
of the few Hawaiian navigating chiefs
