The soil survey has become recog-

bearing upon the soil and it's relation
TO agriculture. This data is valuable
to many classes Of people who are as
follows:
1st. Scientific men engaged In the
investigation Of problems relating to
plant production. farm management
TO farm demonstration, to stock rails
ing, to problems OF rural organization
to road building, and to many of the
other branches of agricultural science.

Since the present state geolOgist
has been in office, he has given more
time TO the agricultural phase of

him.
The work which has been done ia

expect shortly TO issue recipes for use

The department chemists have al
ready produced over 10 gallons of

The success of the experiments has
greatly interested some of the apple
growers, and during October a large

growers in the product arises from
the fact that the new apple cider
strip promises to give them a COM

windfall and other apples for which
they hitherto could find no market

! an even greater relative value where
the ration would otherwise be COM
posed entirely of feeds high in car
tUhydrates, such as corn, corn stoVer
ana timothy hay. This Is extremely
important to cattle feeders through
out the corn belt and other states
where much corn is fed. In Indiana
for example. it was found that the
addition of one pound to cottonseed
meal TO a ration Of corn and clover
hay resulted in a saving of 1877
pounds of corn and IA pounds of
clover hay. This means that if corn
was worth 20 cents a bushel and
clover hay SIS a ton, each ton of
cottonseed meal fed the cattle saved
feed. With cOttonseed meal at $24
ton this is a net saving of $31.4O-
a saving well worth while.
AS a matter of fact cottonseed meal
has been the principal concentrate
fed to cattle in the south for years.
In experiments conducted by the bu-
reau Of animal industry it was found
that with this as the only cOncentrat-
ed feed gains could be made on
steers very economically. Three hum
dred and fifty pounds of meal often
produced as much as 100 pounds of
gain. When fed judiciously six

a period of 100 to 12O days does not
prove harmful to mature steers. If
the steers are to be fed for a longer
period, however, the amount fed
should be not 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
or three pounds of cOttonseed meal
and a little fodder or slower. Mature
cattle can be wintered on a ration OF
80 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 cOndi-
ton anC 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
in the meal are alone worth as much
as or more than it now costs. When
1t is remembered that from so to 90
per cent of this fertilizing value re-
mains in the manure the Opportuni-
ties for profit that its use offers be-
come even more obvious. To put the
case in another way: When one in
cludes in his calculations the enrich
ment of the land he finds that feed

him only from 10 to 20 per cent of
the market price of the meal

Feeding Cottonseed Meal to
Cattle is Urged by Experts

Because OF the abundant supply of
cottonseed meal that there is likely
to be IN this country this year. spe-
cialists in the federal department OF
agriculture believe that the farmer
has a better opportunity TO make
money 10y feeding beef cattle than for
some years past The feeding value
of cOttOnseed meal has been recOg-
nized by agricultural authorities for
some time and large quantities of il
are exported annually TO Europe
where the farmers, especially those in
Denmark, are also aware of its use
fulness. 1t now seems likely that the
price of cOttOnseed meal Will continue
To be considerably lower than in re-
cent years and the American farmer
should therefore utilize il 10 advan-
tage To make cheap gains.
Two causes combine 10 lower the
price of cottonseed by-products. In
the first place the cotton crop in the
south this year is good, and in the
next the foreign markets have been
seriously interfered with by the Euro
pean war. 1t is estimated that this
year Is, 900, 900 bales of cotton will be
produced in the United States. This
should yield 6,6S0,000 tons of seed.
All of this, OF course, will not be
crushed, but if last years proportions
hold good again about 1000. 900 tons
of cOttonseed meal will be available.
Last year approximately 10000 tons
were sent abroad. Under present
conditions IT is not probable that any
thing like this quantity will be ex-
ported this year, and. as the cotton
crop is larger than before, ii is safe
TO assume that the quantity of cot
tonseed meal on the home market
will be 100000 tons more than last
year. This situation has already re
suited In a substantial drop in the
price of cottonseed by-products. Cot
tOnseed meal can now be bought in
the south at prices ranging from S22
to $24 per ton instead Of $27 to S31
demanded last year. An even greater
decrease has taken place in the price
Of cottonseed hulls, which are now
selling at from $3.50 to $3.50 a ton
instead Of 81 to SO a ton.
At these prices cottonseed meal is
approximately SIS per ton cheaper
than lirseed meal, and in addition its
feeding value is a trife higher. 1t
seems obvious, therefore, that the
cattle feeders all over the country
should utilize cOttOnseed meal to a
far greater extent than he has done
in the past.
This meal is very rich in protein.
and it is usually considered that its
feeding value Is at least twice that of
corn. In other words one pound of
cottonseed meal is equal to two
pounds Of corn for feeding cattle. A
small portion of cottOnseed meal has
