COTTON SEED FOR H 0O J . ■
Robert Neilson, Esq., of Montgom-H
cry, Ala., makes the following sugges-*
tions through the Southern Cultivator:*
The saving of corn is desirable at*
any time, but especially so this season,*
when the supply is but scanty in the*
South. It may, therefore, seem proper *
nt present to substitute cotton seed as*
food for hogs. Almost every planter*
lias learned the fatal results of feeding*
cotton seed in its raw state to hogs.
In your September number, cotton
seed is recommended for this purpose
when cooked. I think this is only
one half of the recipe, and having
had some experience in this branch ot
husbandry, I will here state the way
in which I am using it daily for about
two hundred hogs:
I have two large cauldrons, one
holding ninety gallons and the other
fifty five gallons, arched in as for a
distillery. They are filled with dry
Cotton seed pressed in hard; after
which water is poured on till it raises
the seed above the rim. of the kettle,
which is then covered with some planks
and a piece of bagging or old carpet,
to prevent the steam escaping too
much. It requires boiling, or, more
correctly, steaming for two or three
hours, or until the seed at the top
of the kettle is so well done that it
can be mashed between the fingers.
The next process is the fermenta
tion of the seed, which I consider of
the utmost importance. I have, large
tubs, that will hold about sixty gallons
each. About two or three bushels of
steamed seed is placed in each tub,
and filled up with cold water. In
about twenty-four hours it has under
gone a strong fermentation, and is
then in a fit condition to be fed to the
hogs; but as I have several tubs,
some (and I do not feed but two tubs
a day) of this cotton seed beer , as it
actually is, will often turn a little sour ;
the hogs will like it so much better.
Once a week, I give a few handfuls of
salt or ashes on this food.
It does not, however, seem to agree
with young pigs, and it is therefore
not fed to pigging sows until their
pigs are a couple ot weeks old, or still
better, until they are weaned.
I learned this method from Rev.
Samuel Johnston, of this place, who
used it for nine years, and always had
a beautiful lot of hogs, that never got
any corn, except what they could
glean on the corn fields, after the crop
was gathered. His year old hogs,
fed on cotton seed, usually weighed
ISO to 200 pounds.
I have fed a large lot of hogs on
this plan for the last year, with so
much success that I shall never give it
up, as long as I am raising hogs.
Iced Grapes. —Take large, close
bunches of fine, ripe, thin-skinned
grapes, and remove any that are im
perfect. Tie a string in a loop to the
top of the stem. Strain into a deep]
dish a sufficient quantity of white of]
egg. Dip the bunches of grapes into
it, immersing them thoroughly. Then
drain them, and roll them about in a
flat dish of finely-powdered loaf sugar
till they are completely coated with it,
using your fingers to spread the sugar
into the hollows between the grapes.
Hang up the bunches by the strings,
till the icing is entirely dry. They
should be dried in a warm place.
Send them to the supper-table at a
party, on glass dishes.
Ripe currants may' be iced as
above. Raspberries, strawberries, ripe'
gooseberries, plums and cherries may
be thus dipped in white of egg, and
rolled in sugar.— Ruralist.
How the Tree makes its Wood.
—lt sends it down the stalk Each
leaf adds to the thickness of the shoot
to the branch, each branch to the stem,
and that with so perfect tyi order and
regularity of duty, that from every
leaf in all the countless crowd at the
tree’s summit, one slender fibre, or at
least fibre’s thickness of wood, de
scends through spray, through branch, I
and through stem; and having thus
added in its due proportion to form
the strength of the tree, labors yeti
farther and more painfully to provide!
for its security, and thrusting forward]
into the root, loses nothing of its mighty]
energy until, mining through the dark-1
ness, it ha 9 taken hold in the cleft ofl
rock or depth of earth, as extended nsl
the sweep of its green crest in the Creel
air. |
Harrowing Moss or Grass-land
WITHOUT BREAKING IT UP.— Harrow
and cross-harrow the land with a short
but sharp-tined heavy harrow, so as to
tear out the moss, which should then
be gathered and burned, or carried off ;
for if left on the land, it will take root
and grow again ; then top-dress with
rich compost, spread evenly; bush
harrow and roll. Soot is an excellent
application in such cases, and may be
applied at the rate of 80 to 320 bush
els per Irish acre. It would be a
favorable time to introduce new and
good grasses, which should be bush
harrowed and rolled.
Long Lactation in Aged Cows.-
There is at present, on the farm at
Mosside, Clatt, Aberdeenshire, in the I
possession of Mr. Win. Middleton, a I
cow, in her 24th year, which'has had I
nineteen calves, the last of them being I
calved in June, 1857. The extraor-|
dinary part of the story is that the I
cow has given milk every day since I
the birth of her last calf, in 1857, and I
shows no falling off. Her average I
Quantity is from five to six pints a I
day-—* London Veterinarian. J
