Feeding Work Stock on Cotton Meal
r. G. s., Washington Ga, writes: Can
a work mule be fed on cottonseed meal anu
bulls?
II situated as YOU are we would not
feed a work mule on cottonseed meal anu
hulls This would make too concentrat-
ed a ration for this class OF live STOCK.
1t would be a great deal better Tor you
70 mix the cottonseed meal with corn
and cob meal. A good proportion in
which to combine these two materials
would be 600 pounds of corn and cob
meal with 100 pounds OF cottonseen
meal, II you have oats available you
might cut the corn down to say SUI OF
400 pounds and use say % POUNDS Oh
oats and loo pounds of cottonseed meal,
This concentrated ration should be fed
at the rate of IL to Is pounds per l.
600 pounds of live weight. This is the
necessary amount of food to be fed in
"a hours The grain ration should be
fed in two equal amounts night and
morning. though some may be fed at
noon. Your mule should also have
varied ration of roughage in which some
green feed is made available. Cot
tonseed hulls is not satisfactory ra-
ton for mules. as II Is not concentrat-
ed enough. They can, of course be
fed with advantage to beef and dairy
cattle. Some mixed hay will be found
much better as a roughaSe for mules
It should be clean and bright ad free
from dust.
All nEinsrs brust Comply With RegulA-
lions
s. II. c., Of Griffin, Ca. writes: Some
n nv customers object TO mixing the
three grades Of flour together, they
want their white flour kept separate from
f. the No. and No. grades. WIN II De
ALI right for me to separate the No. 1
white floar from the other two grades ana
weigh all together?
A miller is not authorized any more
to make what is known as white or
patent flour such as WAS produced by
all our miles in pre-war times. The
flour extraction required under the pres
ent rules and regulations Of the food
administration is on basis or 10
mounds of flour out Of every 100 pounds
Of wheat Every consumer of flour is
on exactly the same basis and no ex-
ception is made in this particular In
the interest of the producer or anyone
else II will be necessary for you to
mix enough of your second and third
grades of flour, therefore, with the first
grade TO insure an outturn of not less
than 1876 pounds of flour from 264
pounds of wheat testing So pounds per
the xuaiphf of the wheat
