FEEDING COTTONSEED TO ITO^S.
Question 2 —Can cottonseed or cot¬
tonseed meal be fed to hogs with im-
puuity? I have heard that ic is dan i
gcrous. meal is to i
Answer 2.—Cottonseed
the southern farmers . and , stock , breed- , ,
ers what , corn is .... to the wost. . It t, ;. is rich ,
in nutriment and fattening qualities,
and while it is a rich and valuable feed
for cows, tha experiment stations and
breeders have found it dangerous to
feed to hogs,although they eat it heart
dy. the
A North Carolina breeder writes
Breeder’s Gazette that after two years’
experimenting with cottonseed and
cottonseed meal to hogs lie finds that
by soaking the seed in water until fer¬
mented and the fermentation wasover,
that tho hogs had no further trouble
from eating it, and he fattened 50 hog?
at first cautiously with corn,and finally
fed alone without losing a hog, and his
neighbor.? have teen equally succe..?-
ful.
We hare not tested this plan, but if
foruienting the seed removes the dan-
ger, this discovery will be of incalcn-
table value to the south. The samo
principle is illustrated iu the plan of
an experienced hog raiser, who says
that in feeding his hogs on cottonseed
he has found that by allowing them to
stand in water for awhile, tho seed
were equally relished by tho hogs and
were harmless. His plan was to throw
he a into a 111 n lhole, aud after a titu?,
allow the hogs access them.

ROTATION OF CHOCS SUITED TO OltOKOtjt.
QUESTION C —Can you give me a goo i
system of rotation for an ordinary Geor¬
gia farm? 1 haven’t much experience
but believe it the best method of re".
; a i Iu iug 0 ur worn lands?
Answeu «.—The following from tho
(Georgia experiment station covers this
question lully:
“ROTATION.
“Thi3 is bason on what would bn
called a three years’ course, but has been
occasionally modified according to tho
exigencies which arise in the course of
extensive field experimentation. Th,
main features of tho system are chiefly
applicable to the font- leading crops on
the average Georgia farm-small grain,
cowpoas, cotton and corn; but the prim
ciple is also applicable to tho smaller
in these main crops implies a divisiau
of the larger part of a farm into three ap.
proxiniately equal parts. 1 will suppose
that the system is to be applied to an
ordinary private farm, aud u beginning
to be made, say, Sept. 1.
“First Year.—One-third of the land
should bo sown ill small grain, mainly
oats, devoting corn land to this. Thu
small gram • should , ,, , bo liberally n ,, t ferti
-
IZ . - d with , . a highly , . . . ammomated fertil-
.. On tho . station . no , better varietv
of been found than the Appier
oat, a strain of tho Texas rnstproo';
but the latter is nearly as good. The
only objection to the Appier (as wj •
the Texas) is the fact that it is no
tinctively a winter oat; it is liable to
bo killed by very severe freezes. The
winter turf is inoro hardy in this re¬
spect, hut not so proof against rust.
“The oats should bo followed imme¬
diately by cowpoas, sown either in 3
to 4 feet drills or broadcast. Our ex¬
periments indicate that, planted in the
drill and plowed onco or twice, cow-
peas will yield more peas, as well as
more hay. But many prefer sowing
broadcast, because (1) it involves loss
labor, but more seed, and (2) the crab
and other native grasses that spring up
and mature with the peas make it
easier to cure tho hay. If broadcast,
four to five pecks are sufficient to seed
an acre. The crop should receive a
dose of about 200 pounds of acid phos-j
phafee and 100 pound? of kainit per
acre. Our experiments iudicato thaticl
is decidedly bast to convert the poa-J
vinM iilto ha F. mowing them when iu
lull bloom and when there are a fewj
grown pods. aliglill
“The stubble may remain and
second growth will ba secured beforJ
frost; Just before or soon after a killl
lug frost the pea stubble is turn d uul
dc-r with a 2-horse plow. If conveuienl
to pasture, cattle and hogs may bl
turned on succossivo portions of till
pea fields, instead of converting ilf
vines may be into picked. hay; iv a portion o #"1
“Second Year.—The same rlivisi
should bo liberally fertilized and phu
ed in cotton, using the very bust s®
obtainable. I11 tin fall of the yea
say in September, It is suggested
so ' v ^ le c °Hoa fields in rye, say oi
half bushel, or less, per acre, or j
crimson clover. This is especially liable]
