Water on the Farm.

Some Of the older readers Of the Pro.
Sressive Farmer may remember a
time when wafer for domestic purposes
had to be brought from the spring
which was generally 200 to 800 yards
from the house. Stock had to be car
ried to the nearest branch or creek to
be watered. Both people and stock
suffered for water at times. A we'll in
the yard saves much labor and insures
an abundant supply of water. If a
farmer has several head of stock to
water it will pay him in one year to
dig well in his horse lot and get an
old-fashioned trough that will hold fifty
to seventy-five gallons. That will save
much time. If the farmer has two or
three hundred acres, it may be incon>
venient to carry plOw animals some dis
lance for water during the long hot
days. A well dug in a convenient place
will save much time and give water
to stock when needed. But better than
wells, is hydraulic ram, if a farmer
has a spring or clear branch near his
house with fall enough to use one. The
ram, piping and tank will cost only
two or three bales Of cotton, and water
will be furnished to house, kitchen and
horse lot. Any farmer who runs four
or five plows could afford that and af-
ter using this water system awhile, he
would never give it up. The we'll could
be kept in good order for drinking

Proper Place TO Select Seed.

With cotton, as with corn, the place
to select seed for the next years plant
ing is in the field, selecting with refer
ence to total yield of seed cotton. per-
centage of lint, Cate Of maturity, vigor.
hardness, form and size of hollis, leaves
stalks, limbs and resistance to disease
and insect ravages. By selecting from
stalks that bear large number of bolls
per stalk, the tendency will be in the
progeny to give an increased yield over
the average of the patch, which is the
seed obtained when one waits to Sc
cure his seed at random from the gin.
Another objection to securing seed
from the gin in the usual way is that
it is usually deferred until late in the
fall and thereby, generally, seed from
til, last picking are obtained which
are not the best seed. The best seed,
as a rule, are from the middle pick
ing.
In selecting variety one must not
be guided entirely by total yield of
seed cotton. for often between two va
rieties producing about the same guam
tity per acre, the one with the smaller
yield should be chosen because of it's
production of larger amount of lint

Cotton sera Meal For Dairy Cows.

L. X. c., Carterton. Va, writes: l
would like to try cotton seed meal
with my COWS, as wheat bran IS too
high to buy now, and would like some
lnformat ton or the subject.
You will find cotton seed meal an
excellent food for dairy COWS, but you
should not feed more than three tc
five pounds per day and the former
amount + better than the latter, be-
cause cotton seed meal is Il very con-
centrated foOdstuff Pound for pound
cotton seed meal contains about three
and n quarter times as much protein
as wheat BRAN Therefore, when you
! feed three pounds of cotton seed meal
you are practically feeding an equiva-
| lent of ten pounds of wheat bran. 1t
is the failure to realize the very con-
centrated nature of rettef Seed meal
that has lea many persons to suppose
! it was not satisfactory food for cows
and other classes of farm live stock.
| While wheat bran is an excellent food
| for the. COW and by reason of its exs
cellent physiological effect and its fav-
orable action OH the coat and diges-
! tive organs, generally speaking it is
| too high to feed at $50 per ton when
| one can purchase cotton seed meal az
about the same price. OF Course, a
| little wheat bran. corn meal or ship
stuff should be fed with the cotton
| seed meal to obtain the best results.
If you have good clover hay and plen-
| ty of corn fodder. however, cotton seed
meal by itself will prove satisfactory
