How Much Cottonseed Meal
for Cows and Hogs?

We doubt if it is ever advisable
to feed a dairy COW more than four
pounds of cottonseed meal a day, if
the feeding is to be continued for
any considerable period. A cow Civ
ing "a pounds of milk a day and on
green pasture will probably use as
much as 5 pounds of cottonseed meal
a day to advantage and without in
jury, but we think it better to stop
at 4 pounds of meal and make up the
balance of the ration with some 9th
er rich protein feed like peanut meal,
linseed meal, gluten feed, etc., if
more protein is required. In fact,
now that cottonseed meal IS rather
high priced, we think four pounds a
day shout be the maximum! fed to
any COW.
Probably one pound a day is as
much cottonseed meal as should ever
be fed to a hog. When the quantity
is not limited to a pound a day, we
would still make up not more than
o%ne-fourth of the ration with cotton
seed meal. One of cottonseed meal to
three parts of corn by weight is Of
ten used.-The Progressive Farmer.

Sweet Potato Market Should
be Enlarged.

There are undoubtedly tremen-
dous possibilities in the sweet potato
industry in the South. The people of
America as. a whole are not using
much more than one-tenth of the
sweet potatoes they should use-and
would use if they fully understood
how delicious, wholesome, and eco
nomical a food the sweet potato is.
But if this great development is to
be realized, the farmers of the South
must make plans for advertising and
developing the Northern market in
stead of merely organizing market
ing associations to supply the de-
mand that already exists.
There ought to be a federation OF
sweet potato curing and marketing
associations and a large fund raised
for advertising sweet potatoes to
Northern customers, just as the
growers of ralslnS, oranges, n
u n have advertised and develop
ed the market for their products. If
Southern sweet potato growers are
content to organize simply to supply
the present national demand, they
will 500 nbe wrestling with an I'M
marketable overproduction. But iF
they will set out in a really effective
way to teach the Northern market
the many and varied uses of the
sweet potato, just as the raisin grow
ers have taught the use of haisins,
then we have only touched the hem
of the garment" of sweet potato pos
sibilities.-Progressive Farmer.

DR.. Wellington Koo, the brilliant
young Chinese diplomat, said recent
ly:
"Some men seen to think that we
Chinese are a very childlike and very
innocent people. They think we all
exactly resemble the Pekin merchant
of the story.
according to this story-and it
is a gem-a Pekin merchant took a
rather notorious foreigner to board
with him at the rate of $40 a week,
Six months passed, and the rather
notorious t1oreigner had not yet let
his host see the color of his money.
$50 at the end of six months the
Pekin merchant thought the matter
over very thoughtfully and reduced
the foreigners board from $40 to
$40. He explained that thus, If the
foreigner never paid him he would
not lose so much money."-Detroit

Scientist Finds Cure for
Hook Worm.

Evidence that is gradually being
accumulated by medical men in va
rious parts of the world provides a
good basis for the belief that carbon
tetrachloride, a cheap and common
chemical, is a cure for hookworm in
human beings.
The discovery of the efficacy of
the drug in removing parasites was
made by DR.. Maurice C. Hall, of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, who tested it on dogs and
eve tried out it's effect on himself.
In the Bogambra prison at Handy,
Ceylon, a country where hookworm
is common, this carbon compound
was tried on IA persons with marked
success Among them was a con-
demned criminal who offered HIM
self as a subject for a thorough test.
He was given a maximum dose OF
10 cubic centimeters of the drug,
which removed SIS hookworms. TWEEN
ty-two days later he was executed. A
post mortem examination showed
that all these parasites had been re-
moved.
The almost universal success thus
far gives reason to believe that car
bon tetrachloride is far superior to
the old remedies, thymol and oil Of
chenopodium.
The tests made on human beings
in various countries, including the
large number in Fiji, bear out those
made by DR.. Hall. He found that a
very small dose, 03 of a cubic CEN
timeter to a kilogram of live weight,
amounting to less than an ordinary
teaspoonful to for a 22-pound dog,
was effective, but in one case a dog
was given about 20 fluid ounces
(nearly a half pint) without evil
dence of injury to the animal.-Pro-
gressive Farmer.

To Avoid Overheating Horses.

Heatstroke or overheating is pre-
vented by avoiding hard work in hot
weather, unless the animal is in good
condition and accustomed to the
work and the heat; by avoiding hard
work in hot weather with an animal
that runs on pasture or is fed new
hay, or a large amount of hay OF
any sort just before being put to
hard work; by keeping the skin in
good condition, by regular grooming
and by keeping the animal in good
health by proper care and feeding.
If an animal at hard work on hot
days does not sweat or if it stops
sweating, stop work at once and get
the animal in the shade, no matter
what the desire to continue the work
or movement of the animal may be,
and as stated apply ice or cold water
to the he'd and hand rub the skin of
the body. After the animal has cool
ed off some, then sponge the body
with cold water and rub dry. 1t is
also a good practice to wash the
whole body and rub it dry once a
week in hot weather, especially with
an animal that shows tendency to
suffer unduly from the heat.-The
Progressive Farmer.

The Farmers Right to a joy
uous Existene.

Of course the mar IN the farm
lives more cheaply than the man in
town. 1t is not so easy for the far
mer to spend money. There is not a
5O-cent moving picture show invit-
ing his purse every night, there is
no 5O-cent ball game Or 81 matinee
almost constantly asking the patron
age of himself and his family in the
afternoon; a thousand other things
which are regarded as necessary ex-
penses Of town life are not found in
the country.
But if the farmer spends less for
these so-called advantages" of mod
ern life than townspeople spend, is
that any reason why he should re-
ceive less for his days work? Rather
should he not receive 'equal pay for
equal work. and be able to use his
surplus in developing in the country
a compensating and parallel system
of advantages" adapted to the con-
ditions of rural life-public and pri-
vate Libraries , individual and COM
munity music, cmomunity meeting
places for music, sports, recreation,
community drama, etc.?
In short, the public must not as
sumo that all the agencies for social
pleasure are the peculiar right and
privilege of the town worker, and
that therefore no allowance need be
made for such expenditures in the
country. On the contrary, the farmer
must demand and get such wages as
will enable him to realize upon the
profound declaration which former
Secretary of Agriculture David #.
Houston once made to the writer:
"The farmer is entitled to a JOY
Gus existence"
Among the inalienable rights that
our Revolutionary ancestors named
as the heritage of every freeman are
''life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness." But to what extent, may we
ask, has the pursuit of happiness"
been recognized as a right Of the
farmer, the farmers wife,
and the farm children? Too often the
farmer has been abused because
receiving a decent wage for once in
his life during the World War and
just after-he indulged in the pur-
chase of a cheap fivver! And even
the fivver in his case was two-thirds
agency of business, saving him
and his teams much valuable time by
it's quick trips to market and only
one-third an agency of pleasure
whereas the majority of town cars
are almost exclusively pleasure cars.
The public must indeed recognize
ssthe farmers right to a joyous ex-
istence" including reasonable recrea-
ton, social intermingling, music,
play and a vacation once a year.
