"
tonseed meal fed the cattle saved the
farmer $55.40 worth of other feed.
With cottonseed meal at $24 a ton
this is a net saving Of $31 .40-a saw
in- well worth while.
As a matter of fact cOttonsecd meal
has been the principal concentrate fed
TO cattle in the south for years. IN
experiments conducted by the bureau
Of animal industry it was found that
with this as the only concentrated
feed gains could be made on steers
very economically. Three hundred
End fiftv pounds Ct meal often pro.
duced as much as 100 pounds of gain.
When fed judiciOusly six pounds of
cottonseed meal day for a period
Of 100 20 100 days does not prove
harmful TO mature steers. If the
steers are to be fed for a longer
period, however, the amount fed
should not be more than four pounds
a day. For wintering cattle it is hard
to find a better or more economical
ration than silage combined with two
to three rounds of cotSonseed meal
and a little fodder or stOvCr. Mature
cattle can be wintered on a ration of
30 pounds of silage, two pounds of
cottOnseed meal, and about five
pounds of some dry rOughage. On
such a ration steers will pass through
the winter in exceedingly good con-
dition and even gain something in
live weight.
But in addition to its feeding value
the fertilizing value Of cottOnseed
meal is very high-so high indeed
that often the fertilizing constituents
i'm the meal are alone worth as much
as or more than it now costs. When
it is remembered that from 80 to 80
per cent of this fertilizing value re-
mains in the manure the opportunities
for profit that its use offers become
even more obvious. To put the case
in another way: When one includes
in his calculations the enrichment of
the land he finds that feeding cotton
seed meal to cattle costs him only
from 10 to 20 per cent of the market
price of the meal.
In view of these facts, specialists
in the department recommend cattle
feeders in all parts of the country to
secure prices on cottonseed by
products and to take advantage of
the cheap foods that they provide.
No other form of concentrated feed,
the specialists say, will prove as
profitable as cottonseed meal this
year. In the south the feeders have
an opportunity to get these by
products at lower prices than at any
other time during the last ten years.
Combined with farm-grown feeds,
such as corn silage, they should be
able to secure gains very cheaply;
and with the present high prices for
finished cattle, make good profits.
Incidentally it may be said that if
such movement tends to strengthen
and steady the market for cottonseed
by-products, this will in itself be Of
considerable assistance to cotton
growers in the south.

tary and the health Of the entire fam
lily is endangered This peril can be
dispelled by making the walls and
steps of concrete.
The methods of building hatchwaya
for either new or old cellars are very
similar. With an allowance for a
three-foot landing at the bottom of
the stairs, eXcaVate the opening tC
the width of steps desired plus one
foot. This extra width is for six
inch thickness of concrete wall on
each side. The steps themselves have
rise of six and a tread of nine
inches. Beneath the steps proper is
a four-inch thickness of concrete.
Therefore provide for this thickness
in sloping the ground upward from
the landing 70 the top of the stairs.
Extend the trenches for the side and
end walls one foot below the concrete
of the steps. AS forms choose two
l by l2-inch boards and Notch them
as though they were to be used as
horses" to support wooden steps of
the same dimensions rs those of con-
crete. Place the notched edges down
with the ends fixed at the ton and
bottom Of the stairs. To mold the
rise of the concrete steps, use l by
6-inch boards three feet 10 inches
long, which are secured TO the forms
by means Of nails and wooden cleats.
With the forms firmly fixed n posi-
ton, fill the mold for the bottom step,
and the space back of it, with con-

For improving old cellarhatchways
it is frequently necessary to fill with
earth and gravel so as to provide the
earthen slope for the concrete steps.
Such filling must be thoroughly
tamped into place and should be
water-soaked and allowed to settle
before the steps are built.
Concrete steps, unlike ether kinds
become stronger with age. They are
perfectly safe under the heaviest
of loads. Moreover, besides being
water-tight, they keep out rats, mice
and other obnoxious vermin.
