Vp 10 Date Farming Methods
COTTONSEED MEAL AS FEED.
Experiment Of North Carolina Proves
It a Substantial Ration For horses.

Experiment Of North Carolina Proves
It a Substantial Ration For Horses.
The increased cost Of living for
horses is gradually taking the same
significance as that of human beings.
and the topic largely discussed in
boarding and keeping horses is the
increasing cost Of grain and feed, in
addition to stabling Of the animals.
Owing to the partial failure of the
corn crop through the south and west
during the past year and at the So me
time the increase in the cotton crop
a great many farmers are making
inquiry as to the feeding value of
~cottOnseed meal for horses.
The North Carolina experiment sta
ton has recently issued a bulletin on
this subject. and several Of the other
stations have done likewise. The gen.
eral conclusions reached in the North
Carolina experiments were TO the ef-
feet that c%ottonseed meal may be used
in limited quantities in rations for
work stock with general satisfaction.
though the animals may oftentimes
refuse to eat it.
The amount of meal fed to each AMI
NAL should rarely exceed two pounds
a day, or at the rate of one-ffth Of a
pound to a hundred pounds Of live
weight. and it should not be more
than Is per cent OF the total ration
and preferably not over 10 or II
per cent. No i'll effects were expert
enced during the period Of feeding at
the North Carolina station, and the
statement is made that none should
occur. provided good judgment is used.
Lime is also a very important adj
junct in the feeding of horses and has
a great deal to do with substance and
conformation. The application Of lime
in feelings is m important subject dis
cussed among breeders. The fastest
t~horoughbreds and trotting horses and
the best saddle horses and Percherons,
IN whatever part Of the globe they are
reared. are raised on limestone soil.
The reason is not hard to find.
Clover, blue grass and other forage
crops. on which the horse thrives, grow
best on soils rich in limestone.

where there is promise of their wider
utilization. The regions where the
greatest effort is being made in this di-

SiIaqe Good For Sheep,

1t is my opinion that silage can be
fed to sheep with satisfactory results.
The use Of moldy or frozen silage may
cause trouble, but good. clean. bright
silage can be used with excellent re-
suits either as a succulent food for
breeding ewes in winter or as a cheap
but satisfactory and efficient rough
ness for fattening sheep and lambs.
This opinion is based partially on OBJ
servations of f1ocks which have been
fed and partially on the experiments
l have made. The results to date
point toward silage as a cheap and
valuable feed for sheep-Ellis Rail.

PAYS COMING AND GOING.

Farmers who are undecided
whether they should grow al
falfa or soy beans or any other
legume for hay should bear in
mind that they get n double
value from the hay. We usual
~ speak only Of it's feeding
value and appreciate the rich
ness Of hay from legumes when
compared with other hay. The
effect upon the value of manure
is q big item. The manure from
animals cannot contain any
more plant food than was origi-
nally in the feed. and of course
1t does contain less. A ton
Of alfalfa hay has twice as
much nitrogen in it as a ton Of
timothy hay, and necessarily the
manure is much richer. The
nan who grows legumes not
only stores some nitrogen in the
soil from roots and stubbles and
gets 4 hay that brings bigger re-
turns when fed to live stock.
but he adds very materially to
the value Of t, manure that is
made. The growing Of nitrogen
