POISONING BY COTTON SEED
One of Boet of Fattsnlng Agents for
Live Stosk, but Injurious If
Fed Too Long.

It Is a we'll established fact that
cotton seed, In the form of meal or
cake, Is one of the best OF fatten,nE
:.gents for live stock.y 1t is also well
established that it will poison stock
and cause blindness If fed long
enough and in large quantities.
With the idea of finding the toxic
principle if possible and the length
0f time within which cotton seed
may ta fed with safety the Arkansas
star!o2 has conducted a series of ex-
perimcpts from which the following
conclusions are drawn:
With two lots of steers which were
fed a daily ration Of 4.S pounds and
3.6 pounds, or O.9 pounds per loo
weight of live animal, the length OF
time which elapsed before symptoms
CT roisoring appeared was 10 days.
where the larger amount was fed.
Grd 116 days with the smaller
amount This means that in case Of
he larger ration the animals ate rs
"er cent Of their OWE weight before
roisoning appeared, and with the
-rnaller ration they ate 10S per cent.
From these experiments it would
appear that the usual custom OF feed
ing cotton seed meal to cattle during
the whole period Of fattening full
fed steers is wrong and likely to re-
suit in damage, but II used during
the latter part Of the feeding period
or on short fed steers the danger Is
either eliminated or greatly lsssened.
Ordinarily, cotton seed meal can
be used in the fattenins ration with
perfect safety, provided that care IS
used to see that the animals do not
get during the feding period an
amount Of tho meal spproximattng
rs per cent. Of their live weight.
;. In the experiments referred to tho
poisonous principle was not found,
though 1t Is suspected to lie Ia the de-
composition and putrefactfve changes
which tahe place IN the digestive
system Of the animal.

PROFITS OF PEcAH GROWING
Some Of Failures Due to Lack OF
Knowledge and Land Totally un-
suited to Growth of Tree.

The reason for the recent interest
in pecan growing Is that there Is
widespread impression that the thou
sands of dollars sent out of this couE-
try every year for the purchase OF
nuts might as well be kept at home.
This interest Is stimulated by stories
as to the profits of pecan growing,
some Of which are badly overdrawn.
It must be said that the most OF
those who try to raise pecaps do not
succeed. This is not to be wondered
at. as it Is true of most new agricul-
tural enterprises. Some OF these fall
ures are due to lack of knowledge;
some to a lack Of persistent interest;
but the most are owing to the effort
being made on land and under condi-
ticns totally unsuited to the growth
of this tree.
The pecan tree is a first cousin to
the hickory 1t Is found many hun
dreds Of miles farther south than the
hickory and in turn does not grow
nearly so far north. In Texas and the
other Gulf states we find the pecaa at
its best. This refers both to the size
Of trees and nuts. AS might haze been
expected, 1t was in this favored sec.
ton that the growing OF pecans for
the market first started. These south
ern growers have made so much
money that it has excited the inter
est of us who are farther north to
see II Oklahoma cannot do equally
well.
The first named sorts were OF
southern origin. Some Of these have
been tried in Oklahoma and 30 far as
the writer knows. all have been found
to be tender at least In the northern
and central part Of the state. Others
may prove to be hardy but this aD-
pears doubtful In Oklahoma az IN
all other states which lie along the
northern part Of tho pecan habitat
the successes Of the past have been
and probably those Of the future will
be made with native trees. These We
are always sure are hardy and II they
are not equal to the best southern
sorts In size and thinness OF the shell
of the nuts. th.y are sufficiently good
80 that tho market will take them at
prices which pay the growers a very
good profit.

QUALITY THAT MAKES PROFIT
Good Management of Various Farm
Animals and Fowls VIII Ultimate
ly Make Money for Owner.

A few sheep, small herd Of cows,
one or two brood sows. chickens and
turkeys, or chickens and ducks. we'll
fed and cared for, will bring profit.
able results.
It is not large herd Of cows or
many sheep so much as the quality
and the care given smaR herd or
flock that make profit. The dairy.
man who raises few calves each
year from his best mixers, having the
heifers come in at two years, giving
special care to develop the milk
veins and milk production, will In a
few wears have profitable herd. The
dairyman that buys his cows from
the COW dealers has to pay a high
price and seldom has COWS that will
milk more than six months before
they become dry and have then to be
sold for about one-half Of former price.
Aim to grow all the rough feed and
most of the grain.

Alfalfa for Hill Farms.

The area Of alfalfa continues to ez-
pand but not fast enough in the terri
tory that most needs the crop The
owner Of level land that can be farm
ed right along in a rotation including
clover can do very well without al
falfa. In fact such farmer may do
better to put in his best licks on the
clover crop than in trying to grow al
falfa. Where alfalfa Is needed most
is on the hill farms which should
not be under the plow any more than
is absolutely necessary. Those who
own hilly land should study alfalfa
and keep on trying until they get 1t
or demonstrate that its production is
impossible. With alfalfa meadows and
bluegrass pastures the forage problem
on the hills Is simplif1ed II not solved.

Hens cannot lay and grow feathers

No domestic animals increase or de-
crease as rapidly as pigs.
There are many reasons why farm

The ewes that are sucking lambs
should be fed very literally.
The hog is an animal that demands

In order to have good-sized sheep
grow them rapidly while young.
Sometimes size in sheep Is secured

filth and the accumulated droppings.
