potash. This is about 3 per cent phos-
phoric acid. 1925 per cent nitrogen and
l per cent potash. and makes very
satisfactory mixture for many soils
where field crops are to be grown
For trucking and gardening present
practice demands a higher content of
potash. and the mixture may be sup
plemented by the application OF I'M
leached wood ashes If obtainable.
Nitrogen in cottonseed meal is not
so quickly available as when applied
in the form of nitrate. but on the other
hand is not so likely to be leached out
in times of heavy rainfall. In light
sandy soils. where teaching is rapid.
the use of organic material such as
cottonseed meal is TO be preferred In
supplying the necessary nitrogen. De-
cay OF the organic material hberates
the nitrogen gradually and there is
much less danger of loss than is the
case when soluble salts. like Chilean
nitrate. are used.
Most of the mineral ingredients in
cottonseed meal are recovered in the
manure II the material is used as a
cattle feed The most economical use
of cottonseed meal is. therefore. to
| feed it and apply the manure to the
land. In this way the material is made
to serve a double purpose. European
dairymen have for some years bought
large quantities of American cotton
seed meal for feeding purposes As
the live stock industry develops in our
southern states doubtless an increas-
ing amount of this material will be di.
verted from the fertilizer trade for use
as stock feed. and at present wher-
ever possible the practice of feeding
the meal and using the manure for
| fertilizer should be followed, rather
than the direct application OF the cot
tonseed meal to the land.

MULES BETTER THAN HORSES
Less Subject TO Accidents and Injury
More Inclined TO Take Care Of
His Own interests.

Mules are said by some to be hard
Ter than horses. Because OF the mules
disposition it is probably true that he
is inclined to take care of his own in
terests somewhat better than the aver
age horse. He probably exerts less
energy in fretting than does the horse.
AS to whether or not he can stand
more actual work than a horse of SINH
lar type. weight and condition is still
a question
Mules are said to be less subject to
accidents and injury. Insignificant
blemishes on mules affect their value
less than the same blemish on horses.
Because of the mules ability to care
for himself he shows somewhat less
tendency to get into trouble when in
pasture or in accidents of various
sorts.

COTTON IS MOST ESSENTIAL
Wonderful Product Is the Basis Of All

Next to air. water and food. there is
probably nothing more essential to
mans existence in the way civiliza-
ton prescribes than cotton. A bit of
the irony of the gods" Is found In the
fact that while war has demoralized
the cotton industry. yet without cotton
there could be no war Not a single
modern gun could be fired. not a bat
tleship sail nor an army be put in mo-
ton without this wonderful product of
the modest cotton plant. for its fruit
is the basis of all high explosives and

that the difficulties of getting cotton

adds:
"On the other hand. the demand

Corn and wheat and oats. hogs and
