being used on a larger number or COWS
il you were to select some good grades
of the beef type. This, of course, Is a
matter which you would have to adjust
with them. While it may not be de-
sirable for the average farmer who eX-
poets to develop beef cattle to purchase
and use pure breds entirely, they make
excellent foundation stock, and owing to
the fact that representative animals of
the beef type are rather scarce in Geor-
gia, we can see the wisdom of the pol
icy which the railroad desires to in
augurate with reference to this matter.
There should be a good market in Geor-
gia for some years to come for pure
bred animals of the different types, and
farmers who take up this line of stock
husbandry may expect under good man
agement to secure a good return on
their investment. OF course, pure-bred
animals will cost somewhat more than
grades, but if the right type of founda-
tion stock is selected, their progeny
will soon increase to the extent where
the male calves can be used for the
grading up of the native stock to ad-
vantage.
Personally, We think the Shorthorn
we'll adapted to Georgia, and that this
breed can be selected and utilized in
your section of the state to good adj
vantage. We do not think you need to
hesitate to purchase foundation stock
of this breed. You will probably have
to go to Kentucky or even further west
or north to secure good animals of the
Shorthorn breed. The cows will cost
you anywhere from 800 up to $3.50.
Of course, it is possible to buy ami
mails at a lower price, but we do not
think they will prove as satisfactory
as animals which cost more.
AN ECONOMICAL RATION FOR A
DAIRY COW.
d. L. c. Ludowici, Ga, writes: / would
like to know the cheapest ration /
with dairy for best results. I am
using hulls and meal but the bulls are very
high now. and wish to know If there is
anything l can in their place and secure
the results?
Cotton seed hulls and meal make a
very good ration for dairy cows. AS a
rule these materials should be fed in the
ratio of one pound of meal to to 4
pounds of hulls. We think about 5
pounds of meal is as much as can be
fed with profit to the average dairy
COW. Some cows will, of course, eat
more roughage than others. We advise
the feeding of from 10 to 20 pounds of
hulls, however, as a normal ration for
an animal weighing about 500 pounds.
both the roughage and grain ration. If
smaller reduce proportionately.
If you have a pasture available you
should let your COW run on it, While
there may be very little feed on it at
present she will pick up more than you
probably think. A rye. and oat pasture
would prove valuable at this time of
year for one in your situation.
1 suggest that you inquire and see
what other forms of roughage bring as
compared with hulls then you will be in
position to know what to purchase.
Shredded corn slower is probably more
valuable than hulls. Mixed hay is prob
ably one-third more valuable than hulls.
Alfalfa, of course. is in a class by itself.
With this information in hand you can
determine whether hulls will be more
profitable and desirable to use as rough
age than the other substance mentioned

A condition such as you describe may
arise from several causes; possibly it is
a form of Indigestion If your mule is
very greedy feeder, this probably ex-
plains the trouble. Mules which eat
rapidly, and are driven or exercised vio-
lently thereafter sometimes become dis
tressed for breath and perspire very
freely. There is an unwillingness to
move, and he staggers if forced to walk.
The best thing to do is to loosen the
harness and see that II fits properly
Sometimes a tight collar is responsible
for the choking sensation which is Of
ten experienced. 1t is often good prac-
tice to turn the head of the mule to-
wards the wind. Blanket the horse
warmly and rub his legs so as to get
the blood from the heart and lungs to-
ward the outside of the body. Two
ounces of Jamaica in warm water may
be given as a drench and repeated in
thirty minutes if necessary. The bowels
should be emptied by giving an enema,
which is an injection of warm slightly
soapy water. OF course, treatment of
this character will not effect a cure I'M
less proper care is exercised as to feed
ing at all times. If the fodder is fed
long and the grain mixed with it, 1t
will prevent its being swallowed without
being properly masticated. Do not work
right after feeding, and water before
feeding. Bad cases of heaves sometimes

come by using hay which is free from
dust and dirt and giving as much green
feed as is practicable at all seasons of
the year.
Some animals have the disagreeable
habit about which you inquire. Very
little can be done to remove trouble
of this character. Animals suffering
from this affliction are generally a nerv-
Gus temperament, and the vice is most
likely to occur when they are overhead

SOME GOOD VARIETIES OF COTTON.
l. c. c.. Atlanta. Ca, writes Please
give me the name OF the most prolific and
best all-round upland cotton seed for plant
ing in this section.
Quite a number of varieties of cotton
have been grown in our demonstration
field for some years past. The results
of the variety tests for 1915 are not
available as yet, but will soon be ready
for distribution. As an average Of a
test covering a period of seven years
Culpepper, Cooks, Butts, Pullnot and
Cleveland's all made a good record as
to yield. Culpepper. for instance, stood
first in 1910; Cooks fourth in 1918;
Butts first in 1911; Pullnot first in 1913;
Cleveland's first, fourth and fifth in
1899, 1910 and 1913, respectively. In
size of boil, Pullnot would be classed as
medium. and Cooks and Butts as small.
In earliness, Cooks, Pullnot, Butts, Tri-
umph and Broadwell have all made a
good showing. In association with these
varieties should be mentioned Sunbeam,
a strain developed by the college and
which has given excellent results in
most sections where it has been tried.
College No. 1, a new strain developed
in the last couple of years, promises to
excel in quality any of the varieties
mentioned. There is no seed available
for distribution at present as this strain
because of its newness has only been
grown i'm a limited way. 1t is hoped
TO have considerable quantity for dis
tribution another year. We do not
think YOU will make a mistake in choos-
ing a well selected strain of seed or
any of the above named varieties. They
are all quite extensively grown and fair

should the. compost heap be allowed 10
stand:
You can make a very good compost
from yard manure and acid phosphate
We would advise you to mix LOO
pounds of we'll rotted yard manure with
800 pounds of acid phosphate. Ordinarl-
w il would be better to put 200 pounds
of acid phosphate and 100 pounds OF
kainit. Of course it is impracticable TO
secure the kainit so We would suggest
the use of 300 pounds of acid phosphate.
This formula would contain fair
amount of nitrogen and phosphoric acid.
II should be used under the drill row
for corn and cotton at the rate or not
less than two tons per acre Or course
If one had enough to apply five tons IL
would be an advantage.
We have always thought it a rather
IA borious and unnecessary undertaking
to mix commercial plant food with such
coarse materials as yard manure or oth-
er compost provided Personally we
would prefer TO use anywhere from
to ( tons of we'll rotted yard manure.
Work the same into the surface son
nv cross-discing. OF course it can also
he used under the drill row if you care
70 omen a wide, deep furrow and put
the compost therein and then bed on top
of il.
After following the methods we have
suggested we would then apply about
400 pounds of acid phosphate per acre
at the time of planting the crop with
saw. 100 to 200 pounds of nitrogen, part
of which is derived from an organic
source.
We believe composing is the best ad-
vice we can afford you on fertillzlng
the present year owing to the practlcal
impossibility of securing any potash at
figures which would Justify the farmers
using It.
