UTILIZE COTTON SEED
ManuriaI Value Of Product Is
often overlooked.
Plant Food In Average Ton Estimated
to Be Worth $23.7o-coes Hand

Crops Furnishing Nitrooens.

(By DIR. GEORGE s. TRAPS. Texas Ex-
pertinent Station-)
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 it is too often disregarded.
In most northern states, cotton seed

full knowledge that 1t has high ma
nurial value. Hence the manure from
II is saved very carefully, and the
feeder obtains double use; first as
feeding stuff. then as 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. vetches, ETC., which take up
nitrogen from the air, are fed to the
animal and. in the form of manure go
to the soil to increase its content OF
nitrogen.
The plant food in an average ton OF
cotton seed meal is estimated to be
worth s2370. 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 $50 for each ton of cotton
coed meal fed. The weight would OF
course be considerably more than

present. besides the residues OF the
hulls or other roughage fed along with

There are certain unavoidable losses
connected with the collection and
preservation of manure. but the ma
nure from ton of cotton seed meal

properly cared for. In a great many
cases however, only a small part OF
the manurial value of the meal is re
allied. The liquid manure is lost ne
solid manure is exposed to the rains
until the most valuable portions arr
wasted out of It; in such cases only
small part of the manurial value o
the meal is realized
1t is well to understand that wheI

not end: that the manure from 1t to-

ton the cattle were able to pay for
roughage.
With cotton seed meal at $24 per
ton and freight charges of 500 on ~
cattle, Lot No. paid $3.50 per ton Tor
silage,, Lot No. paid 1871 per ton for
slower. and Lot No. 8 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
good profit for growing them.
The cattle fed silage made greater
and cheaper gains than the other two
lots, and took on q better finish.
The cattle fed slower made slightly
better gains than the lot fed on huiis'
and at less cost.
The cotton seed meal required per
pound of gain in the silage fed steers
is 1922 pounds as compared with Adj
pounds in the slower fed lot, and 4.6s
pounds in the lot fed hulls. The cost
of gain was SAC 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 344,0So pounds. or 172 tons
of fertilizer obtained from the 90 cat
tie, there is a difference Of only $45.S1
in three-fourths of the manurial value
of the feed and the actual value al
shown by weight and analysis Tht
shed in which the cattle were fed wal
not fioored. was kept fairly wei
bedded. The high value OF $3.4z PEI
ton for the manure will illustrate thu
necessity and advantages OF feeding
the cattle under conditions that VII
prevent unnecessary loss when tn
cattle are not fed in the fields wher'
the. manure is required.
When cattle are fed on q cemen
floor. and sufficient bedding used, on
experiments would indicate that three
fourths of the manurial value OF tn
feed will be available for use In tn
fields, which may be counted as adde'
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
35 days Small active varieties OF
fowls, such as Leghorns. often hatch
in less than 81 days. Hatches 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.

Touching on the subject of cattle
feeding for profit and to increase the
fertility of the soil a bulletin issued
by the Mississippi Agricultural Col

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 a work for himself that will
produce an income farming would GER

Market Report.

Receipts for last week at the
Union Stock Yards at Portland
have been; Cattle 1910; Calves
113; Hogs 1872; Sheep 4597;
Horses 55.
The cattle market reached the
pinnacle of this years business
last Monday. All existing Paci-
fic Coast open market prices for
beef were broken when five loads
of corn fed steers went to the
killers at $500. A few cows
brought $7.65, but offe rings were
scarce. The general run of prime
fed bullocks sold $3.50 to So. 70.
Good calves are steady at SO. 90
and bulls $625 to $3.50. The
beef shortage is acute and fails
to fill the constant demand from
anxious buyers. $8.75 for steers,
$7.75 for cows, $500 for calves
and Sc. so for bulls are conserva-
tive tops in the cattle market,
which is firm.
Swine prices suffered one of
the severest slumps of the year
on Monday and Wednesday.
Total loss was 45c. Tops were
just steady Thursday at So. 40.
A week ago hogs were selling
around $500. Receipts were
enormous and market wasglutted.
Sheep house had a broad busi-
ness and a lower price level. A
firm mutton demand absorbed
the sheep and lambs offered but
the trade was uneven. Prime
ewes at $5.25. wethers $6.25 to
Sc. so and lambs $500 to 81. 25 are
best grade sheared prices. Wool
and spring stuff one dollar higher.
