UTILIZE COTTON SEED
ManuriaI Value of Product Is
Often Overlooked.
Plant Food In Average Ton Estimated
to BE Worth $23.7o-Goes Hand
In Hand With Leguminous
Crops Furnishing Nitroccns.

CBy DIR. GEORGE s. TRAPS, Texas Ex-
pertinent Station1
In discussing the ways in which the
value Of cotton products may be util-
lied to the utmost, the value of the
manure from animals fed on cotton
seed meal must not be neglected,
though 1t Is too often disregarded.
In most northern states, cotton seed
meal is purchased for feeding with the
full knowledge that it has high ma
nurial value. Hence the manure from
it is saved very carefully, and the
feeder obtains double use; first as a
feeding stuff, then as a manure, He
can therefore afford to pay a higher
price than many of his southern broth
ers, who realize only on the feeding
value of this product. The purchase
of concentrated feeding stuffs, with
careful saving of manure, is as recog-
nized means OF adding fertility to the
soil as the purchase of fertilizers.
Hand in hand with it goes the growth
OF leguminous crops, cowpeas, clover,
alfalfa, watches, etc., which take up
nitrogen from the air, are fed to the
animal, and, in the form of manure 60
to the sol! to increase its content OF
nitrogen.
The plant food in an average ton of
cotton seed meal is estimated to be
worth $23.70. Only comparatively
small part of this is retained in the
animal, with a liberal allowance, the
value of the excreta, solid and liquid,
would be $40 for each ton of cotton
seed meal fed. The weight would OF
course be considerably more than a
ton. since a large amount of water is
present. besides the residues of the
bulls or other roughage fed along with
the meal.
There are certain unavoidable losses
connected with the collection and
preservation of manure, but the ma
nure from ton of cotton seed meal
should be worth at least $40 TO So
properly cared for. In great many
cases. however, only small part OF
1.-the manurial value Of the meal is re
allied. The liquid manure is lost. the
solid manure is exposed to the rains
until the most valuable portions are
wasted out Of II; In such cases only q
small part OF the manurial value Of
the meal is realized.
1t is we'll to understand that when
cotton seed meal is fed its value does
not end: that the manure from 1t toe
often despised, neglected, or improp
erly cared for, makes up q consid
able part Of its value; and that those
who take advantage Of both its feed
ing value and. its manurial value. SC
far as is possible, can afford to pay 9
better price for it than those who
utilize only its feeding value.

Touching on the subject of cattle
feeding for profit and to increase the
fertility of the soil bulletin issued
by the Mississippi Agricultural Col
lege and experiment station says:
More farmers in Mississippi should
begin the work of feeding cattle on
their lands to increase the fertility Of
their soil and for the money there is
In the work.
Should the farmer be able to utilize
his farm hands all of the year around
and have work for himself that will
produce an income farming would GER
tainly become more profitable. All OF
the year-round-farming and keeping
things going during winter and sum
mer and there would be a different
showing on the profit side Of the farm
ledger.
Here Is a partial summary of a
work done by Prof Archibald Smith
while at South Carolina experiment
station
This kind of work carried on by the
farmer on his own farm would give an
impetus to the cattle business and
double the price of cattle as now sold
in many communities. The fattened
article is good seller at a good price
and a good profit but the low grade
stuff is hard to sell and gives little
profit.
Here is what Prof. Smith has to
say of the work of feeding three lots
of steers:
Our experiments with three car
loads of cattle indicate clearly that
corn silage and slower are equally as
valuable as hulls for feeding beef cat
tie and much more profitable to feed.
The profit made in feeding the three
lots of cattle is of minor Importance,
as the results would vary with a
change in the purchase or. selling
price of cattle, or the price of feed.
What is of permanent Importance is
the cost per pound OF gain from the
different rations, and the price per
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1913-01-03

I ton the cattle were able to pay for
roughage.
With cotton seed meal at s24 per
ton and freight charges OF 500 on go
cattle, Lot No. / paid $3.50 per ton for
silage Lot No. 2 paid 1871 per ton for
slower. and Lot No. paid $500 per
ton for hulls.
The prices obtained for the silage
and slower is fully double the cost OF
production. thus leaving the farm a
good profit for growing them.
The cattle fed silage made greater
and cheaper gains than the other two
lots, and took on a better finish.
The cattle fed slower made slightly
better gains than the lot fed on hulls,
| and at less cost
The cotton seed meal required per
pound of gain in the silage fed steers
is 322 pounds as compared with AIT
pounds in the slower fed lot. and 4.69
pounds in the lot fed hulls. The cost
of gain was 6.4c per pound with the
silage fed cattle, 9.S2c per pound with
the lot fed slower, and 11.9c per pound
with the lot fed on hulls.
In the 344,0S0 pounds, or 1T2 tons,
of fertilizer obtained from the so cat
tie, there is a difference Of only $45.S4
in three-fourths of the manurial value
of the feed and the actual value as
shown by weight and analysis. The
shed in which the cattle were fed was
not aoored, was kept fairly well
bedded. The high value of $3.42 per
ton for the manure will illustrate the
necessity and advantages of feeding
the cattle under conditions that will
prevent unnecessary loss when the
cattle are not fed in the fields where
the manure is required.
When cattle are fed on cementl
floor, and sufficient bedding used. our
experiments would indicate that three
fourths of the manurial value OF the
feed will be available for use in the
fields, which may be counted as added
profits, less the cost of labor.

Time Required for Matching.

The period of incubation for fowls
is 81 days, for ducks, turkeys and
guineas % days, and geese from 80 to
IS days. Small active varieties OF
fowls, such as Leghorns, often hatch
in less than 81 days. Matches may be
delayed day or two by the action OF
the hen. She may not sit on the eggs
closely the first day. or she may for
sake the nest too long during the
hatch The latter may also cause
weakness in the chicks. During cold
weather the eggs may be chilled in
fifteen minutes. while in warm wealth
er the hen may forsake her nest for
hours without materially affecting the
hatch.

Land tenure and land service in Finland pre-

points are actual survivals of federal times.
The class of peasant which may be called ia

wages. They occupy buildings belonging to the
landowner, which they are required to keep In
repair. The landowners make grants of seed
and other necessaries, and OF certain lands which
the laborer-farmers cultivate for their own bene-
fit. They have free access to the forest for fuel
and for lumber for repairs In return they are
obliged to work for the landowner with their
own families and horses. On holdings where
there is clay, the elaborer-farmers are allowed to
make bricks and to what they can by sales,
paying so much per cent on their gains to their
landowner

whilst they retain their status peasants. their

Immodest dress was scored also in
the resolution by DR.. Reed. 1t calls
upon the parents, especially the moth

them from wearing slit skirts and
dancing the tango. 1t calls upon the
