THE PUBLIC BUREAU
Its Purpose Is TO Exploit Use of Coffoa
Seed Heal ss a Feed for Hogs.

Following Is part of speech de-
livered by Col. 10 w. Allison of En-
mis- at the Interstate Convention of
Cotton Seed Crushers held at New
Orleans this week
we already have a Publicity Bu-
reau in Texas, conducted under the
auspices OF the Texas Cotton Seed
CTushers' Association, and among
other things il has succeeded in do
ing is to exploit the use of cotton
seed meal as a feed for hogs. At a
meeting Of the Texas Swine Breed
| ers Association held last February
a committee was appointed to in
yestigate this subject and its report
will be published next week in the
Texas Farm and Ranch. The com
mIttee was composed of j. H. Con-
nell OF Dallas, editor Of the Farm
ana Ranch and late director the Tex
as Experiment Station; H. f. Single
ton of Mckinney, an authority on
Poland China hogs, and Tom Frazier
Of Bosque county, a breeder of DoriC
Jersey hogs. After a thorough in
vestlgation they have arrived at the
conclusion that cotton seed meal is
the cheapest and best feed for hogs
obtainable. 1t contains ~ to 81
per cent protein. against TO Il in
corn. and is in every way preferable
to that article.
Some prejudice has been created
against cotton seed meas for hog
feed by reason of the fact that the
method of it's use was not thorough
ly understood III fed sweet and
fresh its effects are unwholesome,
but used as a thin slop that has un-
dergone a process OF fermentation,
Ii produces the best possible results
and With the happiest effects
have experimental extensively with
it on my farm near Ennis and always
had splendid results, and read pa
per on the subject before the Swine
Breeders Association. The report OF
their committee will have a tendency
TO reToiutionize existing ideas upon
the subject and lead to q vastly in
creased use of cotton seed meal az
q feed for hogs, as the best, cheapest
and most economical that can be OBJ
tanned The beneficial effects OF such
La recognition of this important pro
duet il manifest and will vastly
benefit the cotton seed industry and
Its allied interests
There is another thing the Pub
LEFTY Bureau win seek to impress
upon the public and that is the value
Of cotton seed oil in com biuation with
milk In the production of butter
The process Is as follows
Heat quantity of good deOdor-
iced cooking (eotton seedl oil TO
about blood heat and just before be
ginning to churn, add TO milk, US
ing about half teacupful to each gal
Ion milk, and proceed as usual
Good cooking Oil can be bought
from any progressive grocer at about
fifty cents per gallon or less. which
is about six and one-half cents per

"A three-gallon churn will take
about a pound of oil. 1t will hasten

quality Of both il and the buttermilk
