combination Of a ration.
In What Quantities TO Feed.
The average ration fed to work an
imals In the South is IA pounds Of
corn and IL pounds of mixed hay per
day per 1000 live weight 1t is de-
ficient In protein. Add two pounds Of
cotton seed meal to the ration and we
have nearly the correct standard. II

simply affords him what he needs and
his system Graves. Mix 900 pounds
Of corn, $50 pounds OF oats and 800
pounds Of cotton seed meal and 300
pounds OF wheat bran and feed about
10 pounds per day per 1000 live
weight Of horse or mule doing hard
work, and good results will follow.
The Is pounds. Of course, should be
divided into three parts and fed morn
ing, noon and night along with mixed
hay or slower.
Another convenient combination is
l,500 pounds corn and cob meal and
300 pounds of cotton seed meal. to
be fed, OF course, three times a day,
a total OF 10 pounds per day, and
along with it roughness.
A mixture of nine parts corn and
one part cotton seed meal has been
fed to hogs to advantage at the Ala
bama station, reducing the cost Of

$40 per day to So or Sc It's value in

seed meal can be fed, depending upon

It is curious with all that has been
demonstrated Of the feeling advant-
age Of cotton seed meal, the case
which has often been made in it's fav-
or In dairying and beef production, the
fertilizing value too clearly made
known to leave doubt, that there
should be those essaying to be agri

sion choose to speaksoftly in advocacy
OF this vital resource of the South

many. They do not openly oppose
They dare not In the face of a world

cealed and doubtless few are deceived
II is unfortunate, however wher
there is so much to be done to educate
the Southern farmer to the vast bene-
fits to be derived by the largest pos
sible use of cotton seed, that there
should be any one standing around
with fingers crossed and allowing
