fairly we'll for this purpose. Rye will
probably grow freely and yield the larg-
est amount of grazing.
When feeding 20 to 80 pounds OF
silage to a dairy COW we would not give
over to pounds of cottonseed meal'
if this was to constitute the concentrate
ration for any considerable period OF
time. In feeding the amount of cotton
seed meal indicated you should bear In
mind that you are providing protein
equivalent to that contained in about IL
pounds Of wheat bran.
We consider velvet bean meal good
food for dairy cows. 1t is not so rich
as cottonseed meal and, therefore, some
what more should be fed. A good way
to feed velvet bean meal is to scatter
it over silage and mix thoroughly
through it.. In the absence of sflage you
may feed any form of dry roughage
such as peavine hay, good shredded corn
fodder, sorghum forage or mixed hay
will provide We cut all of our corn
stalks and shred them. We then mois-
ten them with water containing little
brine and allow to stand few hours
This softens. them UP and adds much 10
their palatability. The grain is then
scattered over the softened feed, which
is eaten with relish. In the manner In
dictated you can provide an abundance
of cheap roughage and feed your concen-
trates, which cost a good deal, with
greater economy and advantage

The manner of disposing Of your pea
nut crop should be determined by the

could secure a very good price for them
from the oil mills because they would
yield 20 to 80 gallons or oil of d supe-
rior quality. Many oil mills are in po-
sition to handle peanuts to advantage.
THIS is true of mills located in sections
where this crop is grown to a consid-
cradle extent, but it takes a slight adj
justment of the machinery to grind pea
nuts in a mill which is already equipped
to crush cotton seed.
1t is possible that 1 may be mistaken
inf that you think it is more important
to save these peanuts for seed than to
sell them to an oil mill. Naturally the
seed question will be a live issue next
spring and If you have a superior grade
of nuts which may do well in your
community and can be commended for
cultivation, on that account it is desir-
able that they be saved and sold Tor
seed. You might retail them yourself If
you do a little advertising, or possibly
you can sell them to advantage to
scotsman in your community. Good
seed should bring fairly satisfactory
premium. There is little use in going
to the expense and labor of planting un-
less one is in position to use good seed.
FERTILIzING VALUE OF VELVET
BEANS. 4
Z. ID. R., Colquitt Ca, writes: de-
sire to know II velvet beans In the hull
ground ito fine meal is a good fertilizer
| and what is the analysis?
Velvet beans, when ground in the
hull into a fine meal, contain about 56.S
! pounds of nitrogen per ton, 16 pounds of
phosphoric acid and 34.4 pounds of pot
ash They contain about the same
amount of potash, therefore, as ton
of a good grade of cottonseed meal,
about one-third as much phosphoric
acid, and a little less than half as much
nitrogen. If one could buy it ordinar-
| lily at about half the price of cottonseed
meal it could be used for fertiliing pur-
poses within the limits indicated above
! OF course, 1t seems very unfortunate
that velvet beans be ground and used as
! fertilizer without first being fed as
/ they could be consumed with advantage
| and profit by most classes of farm
stock. We have made no definite expert
ments to test the fertilizing value OF
velvet beans. but would not think this
! necessary because the beans being an
organic material will readily and quite

every reason to suppose that practical

FREEZING A HEAVY MILKING COW
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1917-11-06

The fact that you planted no cotto:
on your farm last year and that none
was grown in some distance of 1t would
be of some slight advantage in hghtinG
the weevil, but this would not insure
your farm against serious invasion anc
great damage to your cotton crop an
other year Of course. you are in sec
ton of the state where the weeVil has
done a considerable amount of damage
and where it is apparently well estan-
ltshed, and, therefore likely TO increase
in numbers and the extent OF damage
effected unless the most active suppress
sive measures are taken by the farmers
These of course, consist in following
out the instruction which we have issued
from the college from time to time and
which you are no doubt familiar with
You should be able to grow some cotton
on your farm to some advantage an
other year by securing an early variety
which is as nearly wilt resistant as pos
sible A well selected strain of Coving-
ton Toole should answer well for this
purpose. We should advise yout not to
plant too large an area.
You should remember that as soon as
the cotton is out of the ground 1t should
be chopped and forced to stand as
early as possible. You must be pre-
pared to pick the weevils when they first
appear on the bolls of the. young plants
and to pick off the squares as they are
damaged A persistent fight along this
line should enable you. with an early
maturing variety of cotton, planted early
on a good rich land and fortified so as
to force 1t to a quick maturity. to grow
a reasonable amount of cotton to ad-
vantage in 1918. Growing cotton under
boil weevil conditions Is somewhat OF
an art cit requires the institution of
different farm practice that previously
followed One should, therefore, limit
the area cultivated to some extent until
one becomes familiar with the weevil
and his habits and the best method of
fighting it successfully. 1t takes more
labor and 1t costs more to produce cot
ton under the boil weevil conditions
than before 1t appears. The average
man makes the mistake of trying to
handle too much land in cotton. A part
of your farm devoted to peanuts and
other crops would pay you as well as
cotton, therefore divide your crops and
insure against too great loss of any
enc direction.

Silage, of course, makes an ideal
roughage to use with a dairy COW. The
one-cow man, however, cannot often
use it because, of the difficulty of stor-
ing and curing it satisfactorily. When
one is without silage, grass substitutes
should be relied on as much as possible.
In your section of the state grazing
should be provided for the winter sea-
son. Rye, oats or barley will answer
