C0TT0NSEED MEAL
FOR BEEF CATTLE IS
REPORTED DOING WELL

Washington. April 23.-Five times as
many farmers as at present should be
using cottonseed meal, according to spec
ialists in the United States Departm 1t
of Agriculture. II has a slightly greater
feeding value than linseed Oil meal and
the farmer is therefore recommended to
secure prices on both and to use the one
which happens to be the cheaper at the
time. During the past winter cotto1seed
meal sold for SS4 to SOS a ton while lin
seed oil meal cost about s3S ton. IND er
such conditions the feeder using cotton
seed meal had great advantage over
the farmer using linseed Oil meal.
Cottonseed meal contains from IS to As
per cent. protein and is therefore one OF
the most concentrated feedstuffs upon
the market. There are in fact very few
vegetable feeds which have anything like
this percentage of protein. Its value has
perhaps been more thoroughly apprec!at-
ed in Europe than in this country despite
the additional cost OF shipping it abroad
During 1913. for example. about 4J,Uoo
tons of the meal were exported to Eu-
rope. Much of what remained in this
country was used as fertilizer, SO that it
has been estimated that American cattle

Portland, Me-, April 25.-Colonel
Frederick Hale, Republican national
committeeman, announced his candi-
dacy Saturday for the nomination for
the United States Senate, to succeed

candidate for the Senate.
Stood by Party
Two years ago he was the leader Of
the campaign which resulted in the
delegation to the national convention
from this State being pledged to

porter Of many of the policies initiated

cottonseed hulls, as experiments in sew
eral states have shown that it gives larg-
er daily gains and better finish.
For wintering stocker cattle a ration
of corn silage and cottonseed meal has
proven very economical. Two pounds Of
the meal combined with as much corn
silage as the cattle will eat will give a
small gain in weight. Straw and other
roughages which cannot otherwise be
used advantageously may be fed with the
silage and cottonseed meal. When the
cattle are put on pasture, cottonseed
cake which is the same as the meal in
substance, can be used proftably as a
supplementary feed. The cake has sew
eral advantages over the meal for this
purpose. among others the fact that it is
not so readily spoiled by rain.
Cottonseed meal is also recommended
as winter ration for the breeding herd.
About two pounds of the meal should be
given to the breeding cows per day to-
gether with some silage, slower and other
roughage. This will prove an economical
ration and one which will leave the cows
in good condition in the spring. The
bull also may be fed from two to three
pounds of cottonseed meal combined with
some other concentrated feed, but some
authorities hold that it is not we'll to
continue this feed too long as it is be-
leved to have injurious effects upon the
breeding powers. Farmers are also
warned to feed cottonseed meal very
sparingly if at all to young calves. This
question has not been thoroughly inves-
tigated as yet and until more knowledge
is at our disposal specialists consider it
advisable to be on the safe side.
