No other part of the feeds will takes
it's place and the animal must have
it supplied to him in sufficient anti
ties, or he cannot build up his body
and do certain kinds of work If
good size is to be had in any young
animal, an abundance of protein in
the feed is essential We complain,
frequently, that animals will not
grow large with us, but one great rea-
son for this is certainty to be found
in our failure to supply them with
sufficient protein out of which to make
large bodies. Without sufficient of
this material they can no more make
large bodies than the Israelites could
bricks without straw.
Carbohydrates and fats are used for
similar purposes in the body: but
the fats are % times more effective
can be used. That is, small amount
of fat, say one-half pound. has feed
value equal to 2 2-5 pounds of car
bOhydrates. The carbohydrates are
chiefly made up with starches and
sugars in feeds and the fats with the
oils and gums: They are used by the
animal to make heat and energy to
keep up animal life and to do certa in
kinds of work The mature animal
that is idle or that is fattening needs
or uses relatively large quantities OF
these materials. The protein can also
be used to do the work or supply the
same needs that are supplied by the
carbohydrates and fats, but is usually
more expensive. The carbohydrate
and fats however, can not supply the
place of the protein.-Raleigh( On, c.

THREE WORDS AND WHAT
THEY MEAN

For many years the farmers of the
South have been more or less famil-
lar with the term nitrogen "phOs-
phoric acid" and potash" which
designated the valuable plant food
constituents of fertilizers. AS a rule,
however, they have positively refused
to learn, or even consider the signfi-
canoe of the terms which designate
the most valuable constituents of
feeds. The reason given is that 1--WE
are not live stock men and not inter
ested in that subject. This seems
more than passing strange for very
little thought would soon show any
man that we feed more to
live stock than spend for fert-
lizers, in some sections very much
more. Moreover, to use feeds eff
fectively and economically, it is just
understand the terms protein" car
bohydrates" and fats as it is to
understand the term nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash in order to
use fertilizers intelligently. And the
one set of terms is no harder to un-
derstand than is the other set.
Protein is the name Of a class of
substances in feeds which build up the
tissues of the body, muscles bones.
blood. etc, and are essential to growth
and for repairing the wastes These
protein substances correspond to nitro
gen containing these materials which
in the fertilizers go to make stalk, or
the weed as we cali it. Nearly all
feeds contain protein, but some of
them especially the seeds of certain
plants and the legumes, contain it in
larger quantities than do other feeds

ment from considerations of politics,
wish to call the attention of the cot.
ton farmers OF the South to the i'm
portance Of substituting our cotton
cloth to wrap up cotton bales. and for
bags to hold our immense quantity of
gNanos instead of jute bagging is now
used Almost every farmer you talk
to is in favor Of it, and / am surprised
that our leading agricultural journals
and the prominent men at the head of
the several farmers organizations
do not take hold of the matter. This
would take off the market between
one and two millions OF bales of cot
ton, and would keep the price always
about the 1O-cent margin, which is
a very satisfactory price. What the Or
dinary man wants is something tangi-
bic. You talk to him about the ad-
vantage of better farming (and good
ness knows we need it,, about better
stock raising ones own supplies CT.
Well, he knows these things as we'll
as the orators that the Agricultural
Department sends out. He listens to
all these truths with the same patient
attention that's been his habit for
several years. and then goes back
home and does the other way. Has
he got the hOok-wOrm in his system
and has the pallagra disease, or the
fear of it. SO demOralized his energies
that he feels that he is not responsible
to the Agricultural Department or
ANYBODY else? But if you tell him
Look here Old fellow. we are going
to make it certain for you to get 10
cents for your cotton this fall. Then
you'd feel like you were talking to
a different man. [ understand that
some think that the use OF cotton
cloth in place of Jute bagging IS not
Darcticable [ write this article SIM

SYSTEMATIC FARMING PAYS

[ am willing to confess that 1 did
not wake up to the real necessity of
system on my place for three or four
years after [ started in for myself. My
land is so rich that if l Scratc he'd the
surface a bit and cultivated little l
generally got pretty fair crops, taking
one season with another. But finally
began to notice that even if my land
was rich some of my neighbors whose
land was poor were raising better
crops. Finally / discovered that the
main trouble was located right in my
own person and | came to and began
to attend the Institutes and read farm
papers and actually tried to learn
something about real farming. [
have a great deal to learn yet, but l
have found out some things.
One is that careless breeding of live
stock is costly proceeding. 1t caIne
hard, for instance, to pay S125 apiece
for three thoroughbred cows and then
pay $15 for the services of bill. But
when the time came to sell year-olu
calves 1 found out how those invest
ments paid. l sold bull calf Tor sloo
and two heifers for $50 each the first
year and three years later | had
herd of nine animals that were worth
$1,000 In fact, they paid me more
,ian that in the long run. That les
son in good breeding helped me to see
things right.
Then 1 learned that bunch Of
sheep neglected, half fed, poorly
housed in winter. with no system as
to breeding, was a poor investment.
Ny father gave me fOck or ten
when I started to farm and atter
three years this had increased only
TO sixteen owing to my neglect.
Then when I began to sit up and take
notice, 1 sent the whole bunch to
market and bought ten fine grade
ewes and a thoroughbred
e-year-oId ram and took care OF them
This flock paid me over 100 per cent
in three years and SO I was taught
another lesson.

THE VALUE OF A MULCH.
It's Application Is an Adaptation OF
Natures Method of Protecting
plants
(BY +. A. LEGG.)

(BY J. A. LEGG)
There is considerable said OF recent
wears concerning the value or the
mulch for orchards, small fruits, and.
indeed, many crops
have noticed where | put a much
Of litter and straw about the apple
trees that small roots take possession
Of the soil up to the very surface.
The trees seem to respond to the
mulch especially in the dry season
If we go to the forest we find that
nature keeps the surface of the SOli
covered with a mulch or leaves anu
trash of one kind and another.
Where the ground is exposed to
wind and the leaves are blown away
we are very apt to hnd dWar1ed
growth of timber and a pretty badly
exhausted soil, while the soil where
the leaves from these exposed places
are deposited is correspondlngly
richer.
A few years ago I was growing some
clover seed At one end of the field
there was small plot Of very hard,
dry clay It had never produced any
grain and it had always been a waste
of seed to put it to any crop.
I had drawn my corn to this corner
and husked it, and stacked the 'stover
there There was a pretty good coat
of skaters scattered over the ground.
I scattered clover seed over the litter
and I never saw better set OF clover
1t grew rapidly until late in the sum-
mer. when a very severe drought set
in. which almost killed it out in spite
of the mulch. The growth OF this clo-
yer was entirely due to the mulch on
the surface as it would have hardly
sprOuted without the mulch.
A few years ago [ put some planks
over early beans to protect them from
frost After the danger of frost was
no hot
rows and left them for some two
weeks The balance were removed
entirely.
There was rather dry spell while
the blanks lay on the ground. When
T removed them I found that the beans
where the planks lay between the
rows had made double the growth OF
the ones where the planks had been
moved entirely away.
This was entirely due to the moist
ure saved by the planks acting as a
mulch.
Frequent shallow cultivation makes
the surface act as a mulch to con-
serve moisture.
