Table for Converting One Element into An.

Note on Barnyard Manure.

In feeding cattle on cotton seed meal
and huils, the animals are kept and fat
tened, and 900 to 95p% of the fertlizing
properties of the materials fed is re-
turned i'm the urine and excremcnt col
lected as manure. In gathering stable
manure, planters should bear in mind
that stalls or barn lots should be ar
ranged in such manner as to collect
the urine as we'll us the eXcrement from
thn stock

Comparison with Meal and Hu'Is.

4 ton of prime cotton seed meal con-
tains about ,O57 pounds of protein and
Il3 pounds of fat. Prime hullS con-
tain, i'm each ton, lO7 pounds protein
and los pounds of fat. In feeding II
proportion of one of meal to four of
hullS, you get to the ton, BIZ pounds of
protein and l6S pounds of fat. For cat
tie this is the most economical and
beneficial ration, as demonstrated 10y
long experience.
Now the oil mills get 750 pounds meal
and 500 pounds hulls from II ton of seed.
Farmers would be benefited 10y eX-
changing their seed for the actual meal
and hulls obtained from it. In doing
so they would get for feeding purposes,
in correct proportion, l49 pounds pro-
tein and S6 pounds of fat, contained in
POO pounds meal and 500 pounds hulls,
which will feed cow 80 days, and re-
turn to the farmer in collected manure
(hurh urine and eXcremenD, 10 pounds
OF ammonia, with proportionate con-
stituents of phosphoric acid and potash,
all valued at about $3.05, and in addi-
ton, 800 pounds of meal for fertilizer,
containing 46 pounds of ammonia, is
pounds of phosphoric acid and lOpounds
potash, all valued at 1892, returning n
total valuation of SlO.97, after feeding II
COW for two months. Now, the ton of
whole seed would feed n COW for not
exceeding 30 days, and the only profit
resulting, beyond the keep of n COW,
would be collection of manure con-
tanning about 81 pounds of ammonia, 10
pounds phosphoric acid and ii pounds
of potash, all valued at S6.64. The gain,
therefore, i'm this transaction. and in
favor of the exchange, would be 81 33
plus the keep of the COW for an addi-
tional ten days.
Now the oil mills will at almost all
times give ton for ton of meal and hulls
in exchange for seed in the proportion
of 500 pounds of meal and 200 pounds
Of hulls. On this basis it is rendily seem
that the producer gets feed enough to
keep II COW 80 days and 500 pounds of
meal for fertilizer, making his profit

Formulas for Mixing Fertilizers at Home.

Note.-An old wagon body, or box
made of ten-inch boards, six or eight
feet square and floored, together with a
hoe and shovel is all that is necessary
in the way of preparations for mixing.
Empty into the box, in the proper pro-
portions, the ingredients you wish to
combine, then stir and thoroughly mix
with hoe. Convey this to bags, then
in the same manner mix another por-
tion. In this way, two hands can mix
from six to ten tons per day.

Needs OF the Growing Plant.

Potash is necessary for the formation
of starch, sugar and woody fibre in the
plant Acid phosphate is especially
needed for the formation of seed. Am
monia Tor nitrogen is necessary for the
production of leaves and stalks. And
these fertlizing elements must be APP
piled in proper proportions.

Cotton Seed Meal as a Fertilizer.

Fertilizer made from cotton seed
meal, acid phosphate and kainit OF
muriate of potash, is the best fertilizer
to be had, because it contains nothing
but natural filler, while many of the
commercial fertilizers contain from 800
to 1919 of artificial filler chat is abso-
lutely worthless in itself. This filler
contains none of the lesser elements of
fertilizers, such as sulphate of lime,
salt, soda magneSia, etc, which should
be contributed in due proportion.
Exchanging Cotton Seed for Cotton Seed
A ton of cotton seed, in its whole
state, contains 20 pounds of ammonia, %
pounds of phosphoric acid and 23la
pounds potash all valued at about Sl307.
a ton of prime cotton seed meal con-
tains 1874 pounds ammonia, 571a pounds
phosphoric acid and 351a pounds potash,
all valued at about $27 96.
Therefore, 937 pounds of cotton seed
meal is equal in fertilizing value to one
ton of seed. (Note.-The values of
ammonia, phosphoric acid and potash
are based on the retail market price
which the consumer usually pays)
Now, the oil mill will ut almost any
time give 200 pounds of cotton seed
meal, prime quality, per ton Of seed
yielding to the planter clear profit III
the exchange of $40 on each ton of
seed. Sometimes II much better eX-
change than this even can be had.
