Comment on a Horse Feed

your opinion of a horse feed put up in
100 pound sacks containing go pounds of
corn chops and 40 pounds of ground al
falfa hay? The analysis reads 1876 per
cent protein. 3.5 per cent fat, and ration
for a horse for a month doing hard
work?
The value Of a foodstuff depends large
ly on it's digestibility. We presume the
figures quoted in your analysis are for
total amounts of protein, fat and fiber
and not for the part that is digestible.
This food is probably intended to com
pare somewhat in feeding value to wheat
bran but in our own experience we have
never seen a substitute mixture for wheat
bran that proved as satisfactory as
pure sample Of that concentrate. We
dounbt the advisability of trying to util-
ize this mixed feed in place Of corn In a
ration for horses doing hard work. We
believe that other mixtures can be made
by the farmer himself which will prob
ably give better results. For instance,
mixture of 100 pounds of cotton seed meal
with GOO pounds of corn and cob meal
when fed at the rate of is pounds per
day to a horse weighing 1000 pounds In
conjunction with good hay will maintain
the animal in excellent condition even
when performing the hardest kind Of farm
work Another mixture which can be
used advantageously would be 100 pounds
of cotton seed meal, $50 pounds of oats
and 800 pounds OF corn and of meal. We
see no objection to using In mixture such
as suggested, say 100 to 200 pounds of
the foodstuff Of which you write, provid-
ed Il has a high digestibility, and this
of course, we can not determine off-hand.
We do not think that 400 pounds OF a
mixture containing 90 per cent OF corn
chops and 40 per cent of ground alfalfa
could be fed to advantage to work stock
for a month without hay. We realize
the high feeding value of alfalfa thor
oughly WELL but do not believe 1t will
furnish protein as cheaply to the farmer
as cotton seed meal, and we know that
cotton seed meal and corn combined In
the right proportion make an admirable
ration for horses, and that the roughness
or hay used can and should be produced
on the farm, and that this really con-
stitutes the most economical method OF
maintaining our work stock in an eff
cient condition.

Fertilizers for a Sandy Land

]. b. NJ, Hartselle, Ala, writes: l
would like some information as to the
kind of fertilizer that would suit my
land best It is sandy and fresh and
somewhat low; makes plenty of weed.
How would a guanO labeled 1914 do, or
would a 1924 be better?
If your land contains sufficient veg
etable matter to grow a plant as large
as you care to have it, it is probably not
advis SIZE to use any nitrogen in your
fert' formula. A 1914 used at the
rate q 200 pounds per acre should answer
very well for sandy land. If YOU are
troubled with cotton rust probably a 1915
would be better. The advisability of
using a 2-10-4 would depend entirely on
the size and characte rof stalk obtained.
Since you seem to think you grow enough
weed we would suggest that you use
1914, and later on in the season probably
a top dressing of nitrate of soda at the
rate of 70 to $50 pounds. Nitrate of soda
is an expensive material to use, and we
would not recommend it's use unless the
crop seems to need special stimulation at
the time the squares are setting on. II
your plants are a rich deep green color
and seem to be I'm a healthy condition, we
doubt the advisability of using the nitrate.
When the conditions are reversed, il will
probably be advisable to use it.

It Is undoubtedly advisable to use
only the large. plump and well-matured
seed cotton for planting. The large,
vigorous seeds are more likely to be
perfectly developed, and hence have a
stronger and better constitution, as IL
were. In other words, they will make
more vigorous growth, and will be
better able To resist adverse weather
conditions To which they may be sub
jected shortly after planting. This does
not mean that selected seed will always
give you a stand. but IL is more likely
to produce a good stand than the Of
binary run OF seed as they come from
the gin. One who will examine a cot
ton boil will find some of the seeds
imperfectly developed, and the lint is
also inferior on these seeds, showing
that they were not as well nurtured
as some of the others. Any practical
means. therefore, by which the imma-
ture. small and imperfectly developed
seeds can be gotten rid Of Is of impor-

G. L. Daniel, representative-elect
from Comm county, led his ticket on a
platform of conservatism in state poll
TICS having refused to run for office
till his friends had endorsed his plat
form.
Representative Daniel is a model
the open country, and has stuck to it
all his life. He is SO years old.
In 1870 he graduated from business col
lege in Poughkeepsie, N. Y, and dur
ing a number of years after his en-
trance upon mans estate kept the
books for the Concord Wooden mills. In
1880 he was elected tax receiver, and
served in that office for six years, re-
firing of his own accord. .er
Representative Daniel is a member
and deaconl of his church. His proud
claim is that he never was sued, never
sued anybody i'm his life, never had a
case in court, and has never been upon
the witness stand, though he graduated
in jury service for his county.
