FERTILITY OF OUR LAND AND
LIVE STOCK HAVE SUFFERED
Csy R. M, Murphy. Division of Erten.

lBy r.. nj, Murphy, Division OF Exten'
sion, University OF Tennessee)
Not only has the fertility of our
farming land suffered BY our failure
to get good stands of clover for the
past few years, but our live stock mas
also suffered because OF lack OF feed
stutis sufficiently rich in protein to
supply their requirement Of muscle
making material. We have tried 70,
in a measure, make up for our loss by
using cowpess and soy beans, and
while they are now very generally
grown and as hay furnishes salts
factory substitute for clover, still on
many farms in the state the work
stock are forced to subsist, and to do
their daily work, on a ration composed
OF corn, timothy, or OF a mixture OF
the other grass hays, millet, corn fod'
der, or sorghum, all Of which are
good feeds in their proper places, but
which are all markedly low in protein
content.
Such . ration may be best I'M
proved by the use OF a small quantity
OF cottonseed meal. Cottorseed meal
IL our cheapest commercial source or
protein, since 1t contains from 80 to
Al pounds of protein in each one hun
dred pounds of meal, or practically
three times as much us wheat bran
contains. 1t is very rich and for this
reason must be fed only in limited
quantities. Ordinarily 1000 pound
horse or mule should not be fed more
than two pounds per day, but this
amount may be fed continuously with
out any danger of evil effects. The
proportion of cottonseed meal to corn
In the ration should not exceed one
pound of cottonscod meal to five
pounds Of corn. One pound of cotton
seed meal when used in this way will
save two pounds of corn, and since
corn Is worth practically as much
pound for pound as eottonseed meal,
the use OF two pounds of cottonseeG
meal in the ration means the saving
of four pounds Of corn, or ration
three cents cheaper per day, or say
ing of ten dollars per year, and in
addition the work stock will be kept
up in much better condition and look
better,
