Jarnagln, Professor of Animal Husbandry, Georgia State Col. lege Of Agriculture Feeding cattle for beef during the past two years has been fraught with uncertainty because of unusual condi. Hons caused by the war. high cost 0 [ feed stuffs and the foot and mouth disease. During the year 1914 the price 0 t feeders was higher than during the fall of 1915. The reasons assigned are that there are not so many buy. era in the field because of the price of foodstuff. Here In Georgia and northern Florida there were manr western buyers during the fall 0( 1914, taking -up thousands of; cattle but during the fall of 1915 they did not show up. As a consequence local cattle are bringing lees. True, cottonseed meal Is up. but close figuring will reveal that the say ing In the buying price of the animal Is greater, at least that the time this la written, than the increased cost of meal will amount to In a feeding p«. riod of 90 to IOO days. The fast that there are fewer cat tle being fed for the market would Indicate good prices at marketing time. In view of these consideration* it would appear that this wilt be a good year to feed cattle for beef In Georgia, providing the farmer has some home grown feed and a silage. Potash Prospects W. A. Worsham, Professor Of Agri oultura! Chemistry, Georgia State College Of Agriculture Many inquiries are being made as to the prospects ot obtaining potash, in view of the absence of the usual supply from Germany. The indica- cations are that the fertilizer dealers are going to put on the market, fur the most part, a low grade potash Government investigations of alunite in Utah has developed that it is practical source of potash, and some of the fertilizer dealers are alrea making use of it. Not much progress has been ma !e in obtaining potash economically frr.m feldspar for fertilizer purposes, nar has there been very much oMam ed from, kelp of the western coa'.i. EvtSffi all these sources not enough potash will be obtained to equal the normal demand made upon Germany and nothing at present, indicates that when the war ceases this ccmntry will not again rely upon the German mines. As a substitute for potash, the farmer of Georgia will find that cotton seed meal, if obtained at reasonable price, may be associated with acid phosphate and give good results. About 1% per cent oi the cottonseed meal is potash. Considering that many Georgia soils are not deficient In pot ash, this combination may give as tpuch satisfaction, generally speak ing, as could probably be hoped fof | at this timm Something God.

Of Farm MechanH ica, GeorghJ $***• College 1 Of Agricu *VS? P * * *. Before the winter sets in the chinery of the farm should be un' der shelter and at the first opportun ity the farmer should obtain some thick black train oil costing from 12 to 15 cents per gallon, and apply this tt» all polished surfaces of the ma chinery. This can be done with a mop stick. It la a known fact that the draft of a rusty plow is twenty-five ,per cent greater than one that has been kept free from rust with proper oil ing. The dirt, of course, adheres to the rusted parts Instead of shedding with less friction over a smooth and shining surface. Care should be taken to exclude dust from the bearings of all kinds of machinery. This can best be done by getting the oil there first. A lib eral application of oil should, there fore, be made to all bearings. If, in the spring, when the machinery is taken out for use, it is found that the bearings are gummy, apply an oil that is half kerosene and half machine oil for the first half hour of operation and then apply the regular maouine oil. I Putting the machinery of the farm 1 in shape now and keeping it in shape, | will be a great saving next spring.! when the farmer is busiest, and when I the troubles incident to rust and| poorly kept machinery will show upi worst. th» "Cottonseed meal stimulates appetite, thereby inducing rapid gains and a quick finish as well as assist-1 ing In maintaining the appetite when the animals are in high condition. I’ is also true when the prices of feeds | and cattle are high that more efficient I rations show a greater commercial ad vantage than when prices are low.'
