COTTON SEED PRODUCTS AS
FEED.

A correspondent to Southern Guilt
vator asks: Il have some mules and
they go 10 my cow-stalls and eat the
mea, and hulls. How would this do
as a feed for them Would it be bene-
fetal for them or injurious? Please let
me know in your next issue of the
Cultivator."
To which the editor replies: Cot
tonseed bulls and meal can be fed to
horses and mules. 1t will be much
better TO give about four pounds OF
bran to every twenty pounds OF hulls.
II hulls We're cheap as they used to be
it might prove an economical feed.
However. ii is best to raise hay and
peaviness for your horses and not de-
pend upon cottonseed hulls. We do
not know the effect that continued
feeding of hulls would have on the
stomach and digestion of horse, but
do not think it would be as wholesome
as good hay A farmer should grow
this and not buy it. II you have all
your feed TO buy you can try the hull5
and meal but the more wheat bran you
mix with them the better your mules
will thrive.

A LESSON IN FARMING.

Arkansas Conway Union Tribune:
1t seems like a nervy thing for a
man who is $1,000 in debt and no
money on hand to buy a farm, but
that is what was done by C. NJ. Elem.
ing or Saline County, Ark, and he
succeeded in paying for his farm out
OF crop proceeds in the space of five
years.
1t was in 1895 that Mr.. Fleming
bought the 96-acre sandy hill farm on
Whlch he has since lived. At that
time he was not only $1,000 in debt,
but had no money and had to be fur.
nished with team, tools. implements
and supplies. 1t was an unpromising
beginning, yet by reason of hard work.
Intelligent planning and good manage.
ment he paid for this farm in five
years.
Mr.. Fleming is not an all-cotton
farmer, but believes In dversification.
He had Go acres In cultivation. di.
yided usually about as follows:
len acres are in cotton, IL acres
in corn, 25 acres in pease for pea
hay, followed by oats, which Is cut for
nay, acres in watermelons. 9 acres
In cantaloupes, acres in Irish DO
tatoes, 2 acres in sweet potatoes, and
the rest, or about 10 acres, in peas.
part of which are in drills and part
broadcast. This last ten acres fur.
nishes some hay and all the seed for
the next year. Peas are also planted
between the corn rows at the last cul-
tivation and are hogged down.
1t is Mr.. Fleming's practice to raise
all his supplies of hay, corn and meat,
and he usually has a surplus of $3.50
worth of hay to sell every year. The
average yield of pea hay is about
one ton per acre, and of oat hay near
ly as much, and the price received is
usually about SIS per ton.
Mr.. Jennings land Is mostly quite
sandy and rolling or slightly billy. It's
fertility Is naturally inferior, and it
washes badly if given chance. The
washing, however, is checked by deep
blowing (breaking) and by the crops
of hay which bind the soil particles.
He uses all the manure made on his
farm and buys some commercial fer
tilezers, particularly for his vege-
tables. He breaks his land fat and
practices shallow cultivation.
Mr.. Fleming is a reading farmer
and a man who studies his business.
He does not believe that success in
farming depends entirely or mainly
on main strength and awkwardness,"
but that there is such a thing as sci
entific farming He believes in and
practices diversifcation. He also
plants his crops so that his work will
be distributed throughout the year.
NJ. Fleming has wife and two
small children. He says that his sue.
cess would have been greater If he
had not been troubled SO much with
Ill health.
The above is a good lesson, and
we deem it very important lesson

seed oil are the essential elements OF
good paint. Adulterants in white lead
can be easily found by the use of a
blowpipe. Authorizations in linseed oil
can be detected with a fair degree OF
