CROWDS BID GOODBYE
TO BIG BATTLESHIP

BATON ROUGE, La, May 1S.-In spite
of the early hour at which the battleship
Mississippi steamed away from Baton
Rouge this morning, the wharves were
filed with enthusiastic crowds who had
turned out almost before daybreak to
bid adieu and voice good luck to those
on the big vessel.
1t was 8 a. m when the Mississippi
hoisted anchor and began the fourth
stage of its journey up the river to Bayou
Sara, La. The visit of the man-of-war to
the state capital was marked by an al
most continuous round of entertainment
for the officers and men.
Captain Fremont occupied a place on
the bridge with the pilot as the Missis-
sippi began it's further journey up stream.
The navigation of the Mississippi river
to points never before reached by a ship
OF the Mississipprs class mas been at
tended with no suggestion of mishap to
the big vessel. Captain Fremont is care
full and cautious, but not apprehensive.
Reports OF engineering officers and the
safe passage of the ship thus far up the
river indicate no element CT danger.

PLANT FOOD FOR COTTON.

Is P. Islandton, S. c., writes 1 have
a piece of cotton planted on gray SANDY
land with clay subsoil and desire to make
a. Gerry good. 1 mixed together in equal
portions IA per cent acid, kainit salt ana
cotton seed meal mixture which was
marked S-2-4-4 l put 400 pounds OF TINS
mixture to the acre in the drill. l thor
oueblv prepared my land and have 1t
pIanted with CIeveland's big boil. / want
to use 800 pounds more of the same MKT
,re to the acre and 100 pounds OF nitrate
of soda and 90 pounds of muriate or pot
ash. When is the best time 40 apply this
fertilizer and should | make more than
one application of the nitrate and should
II be mixed with the other fertilizer?
We Judge from what you say that the
fertilizer you used would not be well
proportioned, for If we interpret your let
ter correctly you mixed together equal
parts of IA per cent acid phosphate, kali
nit and a mixture of cotton seed meal
containing SO per cent of phosphoric
acid. 4 per cent of nitrogen and per
cent of potash II this is true you put
more potash and phosphates in your
mixture than were really needed Inc
thorough preparation of the land was an
important matter, and you are to be
congratulated on taking pains In getting
crops are made before planting than al
ter, and as soon as our people learn this,
the injury from drought and various
other ills which affect the cotton crop
after planting will be greatly reduced.
Cleveland's big boil is good variety and
IL you have the right kind of seed IL
should give a good account of itself.
There is no objection to using 300 pounds
more of fertilizer per acre, but we would
be certain to proportion 1t to the best
advantage. We can not make you sug-
gestions with reference to this matter I'M
til we are more certain as to just how
you prepared this mixture. We would APP
ply the additional fertilizer as a side ap-
plication thirty days to. six weeks after
the cotton is planted. The nitrate OF soda
we would use as a separate application
being governed in the time of applying
II by the season and the growth of the
crop. A good time to put on the nitrate
of soda is when the squares are setting
on, as the plant is then making heavy
draft on the food supply of the soil, and
the nitrogen Is needed to stimulate the
plant probably as mucn then as any
other time during its growth. We hardly
think you would need to apply so pounds
of muriate Of potash as separate ap-
plication later i'm the season, If we have
interpreted your letter correctly. With
the use of additional fertilizer containing
cotton seed meal we think one applica-
ton of nitrate of soda would be sufficient.

DAIRY FARMING IN ITS RELATION
TO A PERMANENT AGRICULTURE

food obtained in the "a tons of a high
grade fertilizer.
1t will easily be seen that farmyard

phoric acid but IL should not be for
gotten that the manure will confer BEN
efts on che land which will Offset the
apparent discrepancy in the plant food
supplied by "a tons Of high-grade FER
tilizer when compared with the equiv
alent returned to the soil by feeding 20
tons Of high-grade cotton seed meal to
a herd Of dairy cows. However we
would not ADVISE the dairy farmer not

the sum Of 5000 the farmer who feeds
% tons of cotton seed meal may supply
10 his soil all the available pldrt food
which will result from the use of "a
tons of high-grade fertilizer. AT the
same time, he VIII have enough 1ofin-
yard manure available to fertilize d
sond section of his cultivated land
zach var and enrich it materially oy
so doirg. In fact, he should he able
L. easily cover one-fifth Of his culti-
vatable land with manure. SINGS he
would OF necessity have TO practice a
rotation on his land ana keep 60 q
part of l. covered with crops that Lot
Uily protect a from washing in lire
winter time, but help to enrich the
soil because of their ability 70 gather
nitrogen from the air. II is easy to see
that his land would constantly increase
In fertility, and that the necessity FOL
buying the amounts of commercial Ter
tilizer suggested would decrease.
Surely, the utilization or cotton seed
meal in the nourishment Of dairy cat
tie offers possibilities for the economic
upbufldinE OF our soushcrn farm lands
which we can not afford 10 longer neg
lect, and where beef husbandry is prac-
ticed. the results would be even more
gratifying as in this case from 80 to g
per cent Of the fertilizing ingredients con-
tanned in the food would be voided. The
salvation OF our southern soils is depend
ent upon the development of live stock
industries which will enable us TO take
the cotton seed meal we are now produc'
ducing and manufacture it on the farm
and thereby insure the farmer receiving
the highest market price for his crops In
a finished form, that is, as beef, milk
butter or cheese.

PART II.

To crow crops like this the land would
OF necessity have 10 be fed, and That
brings Us 10 the most interesting part OF
this investigation. To feed cotton seed
meal 10 the cows at the rate suggested,
the farmer would probably have TO buy
Is tons. Suppose IL costs him so ton, or
SEQ. He can figure on having 70 per cent
Of the fertilizer contained in his cotton
seed meal returned TO the soil in the form
OF farmyaTd manure. provided he takes
the pains to have the liquid and solid
excreta handled TO the best advantage
Moreover. farmyard manure through add
ing some vegetable matter TO the soil and
having a beneficial influence on the life
and activity OF the various micro-organ-
isrns essential 10 crop production confers
benefits on the land which can never be
obtained through the use OF commercial
fertilizers
Allowing IS cents per pound for nitro
gen. cents for phOsphOric acid and 9
cents for potash. figures which we think
reasonable in view of the special benefits
which farmyard manure exercises. we
find that 50 per cent Of the fertilizing
value OF Is tons Of cotton seed meal
amounts To $50. since each ton Of pure
cotton seed meal. that is. containing per
cent Of nitrogen. should contain ap-
rr0XlfnAlEAN ~ OF ulAAObcn WHICH,
at IS cents, would be worth $50. 40
pounds OF phOsphoric acid which. at 8
cents, would be worth So and 30 pounds
OF potash which, at cents. would be
worth s. -. making a total OF $50 per ton.
On a farm OF the area we have sug-
gested- and where crops Of the yields fig
ured on could reasonably he expected, il
would be necessary TO spend at least 500
for commercial fertilizers. Suppose the
farmer can buy a S-10-3 fertilizer at SIS
per ton His 500 will buy "a tons OF such
material This fertilizer will contain 50
pounds Of nitrogen per ton. 800 pounds of
phosphoric acid and 90 pounds of potash.
or a total in the - tons Of lao pounds
Of nitrogen. 4S00 pounds of phosphOric
acid and lao pounds Of potash This
would be enough TO apply approximately
so pounds per acre 20 the las acres un-
der cultivation. and there would be add
ed to the soil ESQ pounds OF available
plant food. Eighty per cent OF the fertil-
king value In the = tons Of cotton seed
meal would figure out as follows: About
2 500 pounds OF nitrogen as against ]. 40
pounds in the commercial fertilizer: about
/ - pounds OF phosphOric acid as against
4SC0 pounds IN the commercial fertilizer:
and about 1000 pounds Of potash as

fertilizer. This would leave the farmer
20 buy 3so0 pounds Of phosphoric acid

1t would appear from the description
contained in your letter that your heifer
is suffering from an attack of acute or
chronic catarrh: in other words, from
cold in the head. Catarh, as you know, is
an Inflammation of the mucous men,
brane associated with free discharge of
mucous, which in certain stages of the
cold may often be tinged with blood.
The animal naturally appears dull and
often has chill in the early stages of the
attack which is sometimes followed by fe-
yer. The best you can do is to give the
animal comfortable quarters and supply
her with laxative, easily digested food.
II is probably better TO protect her from
the damp air at night for few days and
keep her from draughts. A tablespoonful
Of saltpetre in the drinking water once
daily will be helpful. and dose OF Glau-
Der salts at the rate Of a pound TO a

to clean the alimentary canal OF any ir-
ritating matter. A tonic or condition

We Judge from what you say that you
are not giving your COW enough meal. A
COW yielding as much milk as you re-
port obtaining should consume profitably
from five to six pounds of cotton seed
meal per day along with 20 to "a pounds
the meal and hulls advise you to feed
he meal and hulls in the ratio of about
one to four. You should secure a meas
ure for determining the amount of meal
you feed If you will get an old tin
bucket, for instance, and a little paint
and place IL on the scales and mark ii
Oh the inside when you have filled IL
up to where it weighs three, four or
FIVE pounds, you can easily tell how much
YOU are feeding your COW and give her
enough TO supply her needs without feed
ing so much as to throw her of feed.
Where you feed more than five to SIX
pounds of meal, you are giving larger
amount of protein than the cow can util-
ize to advantage and it is simply wasted.
Where you feed less than this you are
not supplying her with the elements
needed for the production OF milk In Inc
proper proportion; hence there is ten
dency for the milk to dry up, and there
may be a slight tendency to shrinkage
in fat give a larger flow of milk than
cows milk you can not change that TO
any appreciable extent by feeding. That
and individuality. You may have
COW, for instance, in which the per cent
Of Fat i'm the milk runs very low. In that
case the only thing you could do would
be TO sell her and get another COW. we
have cows in our herd that give three
per cent of fat, and some that run as
high as six per cent. We generally fnd
however, that the cows which run low
in fat give a larger oflw of milk than
those that run high in fat. You Will hr$
that the suggestion relative to measuring
the feed will not be much trouble ana
il will enable you to obtain better re-
suits beyond a doubt. When you put your
COW on good pasture grass, which should
be available now, you will probably not
find II necessary to feed more than three
or four pounds of meal per day.
Peas and sorghum may be sown any
time from now on. This crop may De
planted Just as soon as danger OF frost Is
past. we would use about a gallon OF
sorghum per acre with a bushel or

we prefer to put this crop in drills "a

tanned better results by this method than
where we have broadcasted.
