Protein in Il Ration For Cows.

]. Fl. R.. SchelI, w. Va, writes: I
am feeding milk COWS equal parts OF
cornmeal and bran. Would an addi-
tion of cotto1seed meal be beneficial?
How should it be fed in proportion to
the cornmeal ard bran? Is there any
danger attending the feeding of cot
tcnseed meal?
Answer by Professor SouIe: Your
grain ration would be improved bv
making IT equal parts of co-nmeaI.
bran and cottonseed meal. Presum-
ing that YOU are feeding as much as
ten to twelve mounds of grain day
to COW weighing SEQ to 1000 pounds
the mixture might consist OF four
pounds CT cornmeal three pounds of
wheat bran and three pounds of cot
tonseed meal. We have fed a ration
of two-thirds cornmeal and cotton
seed meal to COWS with very good re-
suits. particularly where we we're
maintaining them c7 siIage and feed
ing some learminous hay derived
from clover, alfalfa o. cowrcas. Cot
tonseed meal can easily he fed fo
COWS without Hny danger whatever if
nationally used. You should remem-
ber. however. that a pound of cotton
seed meal contains more than three
times as much digestibIe protein rs n
round of wheat bran. and that it is,
therefore. very concentrated food
stuff. end can not be fed careIessIy or
in too large amounts without likeli-
hood Of deranging the digestive or
Sans CT your COWS. Those who have
fed cottonseed meal and found it un-
at'sfa"tory have generally not ham
died 1t in an intelligent manner.
While three pounds is about the right t
amount 70 iced a COW per day, even
four or FIVE mounds have been fed
for long periods without injury under
good management. We would prefer
to sec the cottonseed meal limited to
two or three pounds per head per day,
rs its great virtue is to supply protein

PRACTICAL ADVICE ABOUT
DIVERSIFIED FARMING

When will the cotton farmer get
out of this slavery to everybody else?
Not till he goes to farming just as the
Northern and Western farmers do.
He has n crop that is far superior as a
money crop to any they have, and q
crop that fits into an improving rota-
tion of crops fully as we'll as any they
have North or West, and while they
get rich in sending him supplies" he
gets roor furnishing the crop that
maintains the trade balance between
this country and Europe, and selling
the ecttonseed that fatten the cattle
that make the meat he buys in va
rious forms
Now, then, is the time to resolve to
change all this. Plan q rotation for
your farm and stick to it, grow plen-
ty Of forage and make manure, and
when you once have manure enough
to cover a cornfield you will be on the
road out of this slavery to the North
and West.
Nine-tenths of the letters | get from
farmers ask what fertilizer l shall
use for this, that or the other crop.
when the man who farms right will
need to buy little, and that OILY of
the mineral forms of acid phosphate
and potash, or but one Of these, per-
haps.
1 have been hammering away at
this for many years, and yet how few
have taken the idea. But do hear
now and then from farmers who have
broken loose from the old ruts, and
are succeeding. Would to God that
I could get all of them to do so.-

Farmer.

With rich soil more space will be
required between the rows; with
thinner soil, less.
The general rule for spacing rows
is that the distance between the rows
shall be little more than the height
OF the cotton on the land in average
year. WI ere cotton usually grows
twn o. lee feet higl the rows
should ae rom three and one-half

SCI fertile and strong lands
there should be a good distance be-
tween the cotton rows, but the plants
may be slightly crowded in the rows
with good results.
Plant early-maturing varieties of
cotton. Some large-boll varieties are
even better than the small-bor cot
or thicker calyx, and consequently
the half-grown bolls are less likely
to be punctured by the weevil.

combined with others which will ma
ture the fruit.
High-grade fourteen per cent. acid
phosphate may be considered a basis
for increasing fruit and fastening
maturity Of crops. Even on the rich
est land it been demonstrated
that small ercentage of nitrogen
added to the acid phosphate gives bet
ter results. Mix three parts of acid
phosphate and one part of cottonseed
meal. This we will call No. l."
mixture of one part Of cottonseed
meal to two parts of high-grade acid
phosphate will greatly increase the
growing condition and will be better
for medium soils. This we will call

Air-slaked lime is of value for use
on stir or gummy soils to loos en- them
up. permit the air to enter, and pre-
vent sour condition of such soils
when too wet.
On thin or impoverished soils equal
quantities oc cottonseed meal and
acid phosphate can be used to advan-
tage. This IS No. 81
In case the foregoing can not be
obtained, standard-grade commercial
fertilizers may be used. These should
contain In the mixture eight to ten
per cent. of available phosphoric
acid, two to three per cent. OF nitro
gen, and one and one-hclf to two ner
cent. OF potash, or on some lands a
hign-grade acid phosphate, fourteen
per cent, may be used
On black, wexy land the best prac-
tice Is to have the cotton follow a
crop of cowpeas.
Where lands are greatly worn by
years of cropping, more fertilizer
should be used to the acre. and it
should contain about equal parts Of
cottonseei meal and high-grade acid
phosphate. The beneficial effect of
commercial fertilizers depends large
ly upon the presence OF humus in the
soil; hence the importance of using
stable manure and plowing under
green crops.
In applying the foregoing instruc-
ttons the farmer must use consider
able judgment and modify his prac-
tice where necessary to fit local con-
ditions.

And got to thinking over the mat

And as l saw that bacon l thought
that some farmer out West raised

ried 1t to Chicago, and certainly made
money. Some packer bought and
cured the meat, and grew to be q mil
