of four years and upwards require con-
siderably more potash than the younger
trees. And an excess of nitrogen
(ammonia) applied to these trees would
cause the tree to throw off its fruit.

\ planter, running one plow can usu-
ally make about 10 bales of cotton and
100 bushels of corn. to say nothing OF
several small side crops, such as peas,
turnips, potatoes. cane, etc. From ms
ten bales of cotton he gets five tons OF
seed In the following manner he can
make this five tons of seed, after de-
ducting the necessary amount for plant
ing, worth Sl39.S5 to him, or over S3l
per ton.
After rescrving 1000 pounds of seed
for planting, exchange with the oil m!l'
the remaining 5000 pounds of seed for
1900 pounds of cotton seed meal and
5,lOO pounds of hulls.
Set apart POO pounds of meal and 71a
bushels of corn with which to fatten Il
50-pound shoat. Then set apart 500
pounds meal and 5000 pounds of hulls
with which to feed milk cow for
months. After this, set apart 500 pounds
of meal, 2,200 pounds of hulls and 2S
bushels of corn with which to feed a
mule months. Now, you still have
=, 100 pounds of meal left to be used as
fertilizer.
To feed mule on corn and fodder
for 6 months would cost $2S.SO count
ing the corn at 80 cents perbushel. BY
the mixed feed you have given him
Sl88O worth of corn. So the value OF
the meal and hulls fed is $l2.
You have fed your hog S4.50worth OF
corn and have made l75 pounds OF meat
worth at least $l4. So the value of the
meal and hulls fed is $3.50.
You have got from your COW about
$50 pounds of butter worth S36, besides
S2i worth of buttermilk and sweet milk
for table use, making II total of $50. Sc
the value of the meal and hulls fed is
$50 You have 2,lOO pounds of meal
left for fertilizer, which is worth accord
ing to regning prices for ammonia
phosphoric acid and potash about S29.3
And you have collected in manure di-
rectly due to the meal and hulls fed tC
the value of $29.05.
Thus you have returned to you fol
your 4 3 tons of SEED, a total value OF
Sl39.S5. And this plan saves to you fol
bread and other feeding purposes 6412
bushels of your 100 bushels of good
home made corn And the meal you
have on hand, with the manure gath
cred from your stock, will, if properly
managed, fcrtiliZe 20 acres of cottor
land and 10 acres of corn land.
