CHEAP P.ORTEIN FOR FARMERS The* prooiem of tne aatrynion has eter been to supply his cows with pro tein in a cheap and abundant form. The oretically. this inay be accomplilshed by growing an abundance of legumes. in practice it fails to work out, for while the average farmer may have supplied himself abundantly wtih silage as his principal form of roughage, there are very few who have an adequate amount of cowpea, alfalfa or clover hay on liand Even with these materials pro duced on the farm, a point is soon reach ed where the cow cannot consume a sufficient amount of roughage to supply the protein needs of her bod>’ therefrom, because although she has a very large and ample digestive system, protein in the form of roughage M ont concen trated to anything like the degree which prevails in cotton seed mean. Thus while it is advisable to use lecurne hay, it is not practicable to substitute it for con centrates rich in protein. At this season of the year large num bers of letters are received from dairy men complaining about the falling off in milk flow and wondering how they can counteract this tendency. The trouble is attributed, for instance, to cold weath er. the supposedly natural perversity of cows, the advance in the lactation period, it bad qua!it}* of forage, and a deficien cy in silage. Sometimes the herdsman is believed not to feed or water the cows wtih regularity and indeed this is often true. Seldom, if ever, howev er, is the primary cause of this trouble hit upon or appreciated, namely, a de dciency of protein in the great majori ty of rations fed to cows. That this is a widespread defect is shown by the testimony of the Missouri College of Agriculture to the effect that the ad dition of two pounds of cotton seed meal a day to the ration of a dairy cow which had previously received corn alone resulted in a surprising increase in the flow of milk. This cow had received besides the grain ration of corn, fodder and timothy hay for roughness. All of these materials are low in protein, yet the above ration is one fed on thousands of farms all over the United states. In fact, iu many places in the south, tim othy hay’ and other similar foods arc Peing purchased and fed as roughage at an excessive cost whe nsonie thing else like hulls, good shredded corn stover, peavine hay or mixed hay of 'any kind would answer just as well, provided the roughage is promptly sup plemented with an abundance of protein in a concentrate like cotton seed meal The conclusion reached in Missouri, namely, that ’‘in spite of the many things that have combined to raise the price of cotton seed meal this year, it is. probably the cheapest concentrate to buy for the purpose of improving and balancing up a ration for dairy cows,” coincides remarkably w’ith our own ex perience, judgment and observation. It appears from the figures presented that this statement is based on a cost price of 138 end upwards per ton for cotton seed meal. Therefore, farmers living ; in the southeastern states where cotton I seed ir.ea! is abundantly produced and i has always been sold at a reasonable price when its food and fertilixing value is considered, should have no difficulty in amending and adjusting their rations no as to greatly increase the flow of milk. One not familiar with the situation would probably oe surprised to find ' what large quantities of bran, corn, oats and shorts are shipped into the south to be used in rations for dairy cows, under the impression that these are the ingredients which will enable the farmer to provide the cheapest and most desir able ration. There are in fact farms ' where cotton seed meal Is not fed, or j at least, utilized in the most limited I way. Just why there should be such an abiding faith in these old and very expensive forms of concentrates is hard to understand. Probably ft is attribut i able in a measure to the inherent dis* i position of the Anglo-Saxon, with his • ultra-conservatism, to hold fast to the 1 ' old and accept the new with great caution. If whea-t bran, for instance. . can be purchased at SI.OO a hundred 1 or $20.00 a ton. the protein it contains i will cost about 8.8 cents a pound. As ; a matter of fact wheat bran can not J be bought for $20.00; in most instances { it will cost *30.00, or even higher, mak ; ing the protein cost nearly 12 cents in* ’ stead of 8.& cents a pound. Even put ting the moat liberal construction on ' the caw *and giving bran the benefit j of the doubt, however, it only provides ' available protein at a high cost. On the i other hand, cotton seed meal, even ■ though costing $38.00 a ton. Will provide protein ala cort not to exceed 5 cents ! a nound.

I farm machinery THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 25, 1916 i the farmer feeds cotton seed meAl at $38.00 a ton in place of bran at $20.00 a ton, he is saving 3.5 cents a pound on the cost of his protein. One woald think that such a distinct and definite advantage on the part of cotton seed meal would soon result In the abandon- ■ ment of bian altogethe except for medi ' cinal or tonic purposes. In this connection, it is perfectly plain that - protein in corn would be still more costty than in bran. It is well to state that while the farmer should be encouraged to grow all the protein he can and should utilize leguminous crops to that end as ex tensively as possible, it is doubtful if he will be able to produce this element for much less than the price at which it can be bought In cotton seed meal. These facts have been quoted to show that by virtue of the '"‘local situation the southern dairyman is in position to balance up his ration in the element in which it is generally most deficient at a more reasonable cost than can be accomplished in other sections of the country. These facts show that cotton i seed meal even at the unusually high price now prevailing is still the cheap est and most efficient source from which to derive the protein so essential in the ration of dairy cows. GROWING VELVET BEANS IN PEAR ORCHARD. S. S.. The Rock, Ga., writes: Do you think velvet beans will grow among pear trees which are set 30 feet apart each way and are 20 feet high. We have the orchard wired in anil wish to pasture hogs on the beans. Would like very much to have your opinion of this matter. One-hundred day velvet beans may do quite well in your section of the state if planted in a pear orchard. Much de , pends of course on the size of the pear trees and the manner in which they are trimmed. If headed high so that a good deal of sun gets through or under them ■ the peas will do much better. It will do no harm to try them In such a loca tion, though possibly you would secure as much or more grain from a crop of cowpeas or soy beans than from velvet beans. We would plant the beans as soon as danger of frost has passed in drills about three feet or four feet apart. NV e would use about 200 to 300 pounds of acid phosphate under them at the time of planting. Be sure to tet an early maturing variety, such as the Hundred day. This is a speckled variety but matures in a much shorter time than the original Florida bean. We feel sure you will get a good deal of pasture which of course will be much better for the maintenance of cows and calves than hogs. Hogs of course have a rather limited'digestive capacity compared to some classes of animals and will do much better when grazed on leguminous crops which provides a considerable i amount of grain. MEETING THE FERTILIZER SIT UATION. J M J. Milledgeville. Ga.. writes: last year I naed for fertilizing cotton and corn cotton seed meal and acid ph ?*J‘ b “. te , u to two. Thia year the priee of' both is so much higher than 1 atn mold could be used aa a „ of or both. 1 have an unlimited quantity of woods earth and some yard manure under ehelter. What would be the effect of using around rock phosphate in the atables and under the manure shelter? IK e have about 20 head of cattle. You should make use of all the lea? es and litter you can secure. These leaves may be composted by piling in a con-, venient place where they can be kept wet, but if reasonably dry they can be used for bedding to advantage, thereby insuring the absorption of the liquid ejected by the animals which contains nitrogen, one of the most valuable fer tilizing elements. By all aieanft make as much yard fmanure as you possibly can and you are ce-tainly acting wisely in keeping jl’ well sheltered. You should see that It is sufficiently moist to keep it from heating, however. Wetting it down oc casionally will help materially. Leaf mold does not vary greatly in composition from well-rotted straw. Leaves contain ordinarily from 9 to 16 pounds of nitrogen and 6 to 9 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 9 to 16 pounds of potash. Leaves which have been sub ject to leaching probably contain the smaller amounts indicated. Oak leaves probably contain the higher amounts if well, preserved. If one could use two tons of this litter per acre it would be a great advantage. Where as small an amount as this is applied we would favor putting the material under the drill row for corn and cotton. We would lopen a wide, deep furrow and scatter the compost in the bottom of the fur row. Throw two furrows and fill to gether In the ground until it is nearly level for corn and bed slightly for cot ton. We would prefer to plant corn in a slight depression, as it is more likely to suffer from drought than cotton. We would use 200 to 300 pounds of acid phosphate and about 100 pounds of cot < ton seed meal in addition to the com post. There is no objection to using acid phosphate in association with ma nure. Wc can see no special benefit to be derived, however, from incorporating from 200 to 300 pounds with a ton of manure and this would involve a good deal of labor and expense as yoti can readily see. Raw ground phosphate rock is consid ered better to mix w’ith compost and manure . than acid phosphate. More i over, when mixed with manure the | crushed rock will not injure the feet of I animals trampling thereon as might be |,the case with acid phosphate. • PREPARING A FORMULA FOR COT TON. *, O. R. L.. Douglas. Ga.. Writes: Wtiat would tube the afialyais of 200 pounds Id per cent acid, 200 pounds cotton seed meal and 50 pounds nitrate of soda? YVbat would you advise using on cotton in this section of i Georgia ? Two hundred pounds of I<S per cent acid phosphate would contain 32 pounds of available phosphoric acid; 200 pounds of cotton seed meal would contain 12.36 pounds of nitrogen if analyzing 6.18 per cent of nitrogen or 7.6 per cent of amonia: and 50 pounds of nitrate of soda, if of high-grade, would contain 7.8 pounds of nitrogen. Tlierefore 450 I pounds of this mixture would contain ' 20.16 pounds of available nitrogen and 32 pounds of available phosphoric acid. The percentage composition would be practically 7 per cent of phosphoric acid and 4.48 per cent of nitrogen. We I would consider this a very good formula to use on soils in your section of the state on such standard crops as corn and cotton. It is about as good a fer tilizer mixture as you can use under existing circumstances. Os course, if you can secure nitrogen from other sources at a lower rate than the ma terials indicated above, there would be no objection to using them. Probably phosphoric acid can not be secured in a cheaper, form than in acid phosphate. e • e COMPOSITION OF HARDWOOD ASHES. * H. B. W.. Claxton, G«., writes: What is the compoaltion or pure oak ashes ? I am expecting to use a large quantity of ashes with cottonseed meal and acid phosphate. What proportion of each ingredient should be n»«d ? Wood ashes vary much in composition, depending largely on the character of wood from which they are produced. When of good quality they contain 4 to 6 per cent potassium, equal to 5 to 7 per cent of potash: 6 to 9 per cent of phosphorus, equal to 1 to 2 per cent of phosphoric acid. They contain from to 30 per cent of lime. In freshly burned ashes calcium oxide or quick lime is the chief calcium content. It would not be good practice, therefore, to mix wood ashes with acid phosphate. It >*ould probably cause the phosphoric acid to avert to a less available form than that in which it normaJly occurs. You will see from these figures that hardwood ashes will contain possibly 100 pounds of potash per ton, a ltt “* phosphoric acid and a considerable quantity of lime. In using wood ashes we advise that they be scattered over the soil or mixed well with the sub-soil gome time in advance of using the fer tilizer Three hundred to 500 pounds can be used to advantage. If sit uated as you are we wou-d mix 900 pounds of meal. 1.100 pounds of aold phosphate and use 200 to 300 pounds of this mixture. The ashes of course could be applied with this mixture. We think this would probably be the most satisfactory ar rangement for fetlllzlng your land which you can expect the present sea 3°n. # FERTILIZING OLD FIELD t W Macon, Ga., writes: I have tan acre* of light, thin sandy land which has Mt been In cultivation for aeyeral years and la covered with sedge bruen. I n'.ent it to corn and peas «u<i follow witlToata What fertilizer formula would you advise? _____ Situated as you are we would plow the land in question as soon as prac ticable. turning under the c ♦rash to a good depth and then cross cut with a disc and harrow until a good Sm seed bed is obtained. Itwould be an advantage if a heavy ram or two fell on this ground before you plant it. When ready to plant the corn mix to gether 800 pounds of cotton seed meal, f 100 pounds of acid phosphate. Ise this formula at the rate of 300 Pounds per acre Put the fertilizer under the drljl row at the time of seeding tne C °lf you can find a formula which you can prtpare as cheap as this and which will show’ the same percentage of plant food, it will be all right to use it. In other words, we are not wedded to this particular ’combination, but consider it an excellent thing to use at this time in view of the disorganization of the fer tilizer market on account of the Euro pean war. COMPOSTING WITH N|ANURE FLOATS. D. C. S„ Fort Valley, Ga.. wirtes: la using !•*«■ ground phosphate rock, please advise if you would recommend using same in compoat with stable manure. There is no reason why ground rock phosphate should not be used in associa tion with stable manure. It is best to mix the ground rock phosphate with the manure. Use about 1 to 2 pounds per head per day, but at the rate of 40 to 80 pounds per ton of manure. You under stand of course that if you applied this minure at the rate of 5 tons per acre you would still only be using the equiva lent of 190 pounds of phosphate rock per acre, which would not enable you to dis pense with the use of acid phosphate unless you were prepared to apply as much as 1,000 pounds of rock phosphate per acre once in at least three years. You will not secure quick returns from rock phosphate and we hardly think you could afford to use it except on soil loca tions which are especially well supplied with organic matter. Use the rock phosphate tn association with yard ma nure as it helps to set the unavailable plant food in this material free more quickly than if it were applied by itself. Therefore its use in association with yard manure is advisable. • • • DESTROYING WARBLES IN CATTLE* G. W. W.. Jackson. Ga., writes: I have a fine young row with her back full of screw worm* or warbles. Kindly advise me bow to get rid of them. ■ The trouble about which you write is a very common one in the United States, and is produced by "warble floes, as they are called. The adult of this spe cies is about the size of a honey bee. She deposits her eggs in the summer on the skin of cattle in the region of the heel. The animals lick them off and the vggs hatch when taken into the moutn. The larvae, after remaining for some time in the gullet, finally work their way into the cellular tissue beneath the I skin of the back. Here they remain and I develop until early spring, forming the | lumps commonly known as “warbles." I When fully developed, the larvae, er I j grub<, work their way out through the I small openings In the skin, drop on the ■ ground, into which they borrow, finally I emerging as adult flies. These flies are, a nuisance and do rnncn damage to hides NEAL OF THE NAVY (Continued From Last .Issue.) CHAPTER LXIII. THE EDGE OF THE WORLD. Hernaudez crouched behinu one of the huge earthen jars. The light that streamed in at the cave's mouth darkened suddenly, and a huge fig ure crept in. At first Hernandez thought this was the pirate chief — but that fierce fighter was lying far ’tcross the pit with a bullet through his head. The figure crept on far ther—then Hernandez saw. It was llington. Ilington was un armed~his face was blood covered and grimy with powder. He was a tigure fearful to behold. There was a strange light in his eyes. Ha paused for a moment at the threshold and then, waiting a moment until his eyes became accustomed to the darkness, strode on. He approached an earthen jar and peered into it — thrust his baud into its metallic liquid. "‘Quicksilver/’ he said. Hernan dez, quivering with fear, darted from his hiding place, made for the entrance, reached it, caught the rungs of a ladder and climbed like an orang-utang to safety. Ilington saw him, muttered an oath—a round wholesome oath —and fol- lowed. A bit more clumsy—too un familiar with his footing, Ilington i was slow. But once he reached the ground above he tore after Her nandez like mad. Hernandez ran blindly, and found himself cornered on the edge of a high cliff. Ilington caught him, tore from him Hernandez’ every ready knife, and faced him squarely. “I swore to tear you apart with my hands,” cried Ilington beside himself with rage, ’•'and I’m going to do it.” "Two can play at that,” panted Hernandez, “come on.’* Ilington came on —reckless of the fact that he was fighting on the edge of a precipice. For a short space the men fought with some re gard for science—giving blow for . blow. But Hernandez clinched, was thrown —clinched and was thrown again. He squared himself once more, than broke and ran five paces to the left. He dropped suddenly and recovered his knl?e, and waited for Ilington’s onslaught. Far to the rear Annette plucked Neal’s wrist, "Look —look," she cried, “Hernandez and my father—and the Portuguese has a knife. z She wad not the only watcher. Bq low on shore a fresh boatload of rines were landing. They had seen the fight—they watched It now. Their of ficer peered through his glasses. , "Our friend the Portuguese," he said, "we've got to get him and take him back. The world needs one Hernan dez lose.” Even as he spoke, Hernandez struck with his knife and ripped open Illing ton’s arm. With a wild cry the fresh marines scrambled up the cliff. Climbing, they spread a net. On the plateau the same thing happened. Behind the two fight ing men crept up the survivors of the recent fray. The Missouri, from cap tain down to cook, was after this Her nandez. But Illington and Hernandez never not>d these silent stealthy approaches. Illington, bellowing with rage, and with the pain of his wound, leaped for his adversary with a blow that would have felled an ox. The blow accom plished little—save that it hurtled the knife out of Hernandez’ graps—and sent it clatering down the cliff. Her nandez, cool with the coolness Os des peration. side-stepped, and lifting one foot, neatly tripped his man. Illington fell heavily, with one arm hanging over the precipice. And then Hernandez looked —for the first time he took note of his surround ,n Behind him ranged Neal and his squad, with fixed bayonets and with death shining in their eyes. Below scrambling up the cliff were twenty men, dangerous —desperate. Hernandez paused—his eyes narrowed. He was beaten and he knew It. Ie might have adopted another course at another time. But his mind had been twisted and tourtured with greed the past few days. He was keyed up to the point pf desperation. He not reason—he didn’t want to reason. He took one swift vlew ® f aro the immediate future.
