The Mississippi station offieer then
concludes as follows: “According to
those results, if corn is worth 40
cents per bushel or $14.*2* a ton,
cotton ed should be worth ’27.8 cents a

$•28.50 a ton. If cottonseed arc worth

si price for seed
as their feeding value to the funner calls
for, I will give yon some rations for
feeding, using seed, instead of hulls ami
meal for feeding, and recite some inter
esting experiments of the Mississippi
Experiment Station in regard thereto.
Two lots of four cows each were ta-
'keu, and lot No. 1 was fed this ration
for each cow: Pen vine hay, 5 jiouiids;
silage, 20 jkiuihIs; wheat- bran, 4 pounds;
cottonseed meal, 5 pounds. I>»t No. 2
received sis a ration for each cow, poa-
vine hay, 5 pounds; silage, 20 p(»umls:
iiuy price par bushel
that corn ever soils at in this section of
the country, b*•cause its feeding vsiluo is
so far 1h‘1ow its money value when com
pared with the feeding value and money
value of cottonseed and cottonseed meal.
Couchtsion Xo. J also ambles yon to
tell when you are yet tiny a fair value for
your eottouseed. For Instance, in today's
Constitution cottonseed mad is nnoted at
' u i
Atlanta
al
wheat bran, 4 pounds and cottonseed, Hi j cottonseed meal and
is moth /ha, cottonseed should briny
21.2 rents p. r bushel al 60 bushels to the
ton, for its feediny value as compared
with the feediny value if meal.
In the Hyht of these important farts it
strikes me a*'belay astonishiny that no
experiments apprar to hare brat made to
see u lather horses and mules will not cat
otto
pounds. The experiment lusted for four
weeks and at the end of that jioriod lot
No. 1 had produced 1,237 pouuds of
milk, and lot No. 2 had produced 1,334
pounds of milk, also lot No. 1 had lost
20 pounds each in weight and lot No. *2
hail gained 12 pounds each in weight.
As a result of tiiis experiment we see
that 0 pounds of whole cottonseed are
superior to 3 jxmuds of cottonseed meal
both as milk and flesh producers.
EXPERIMENT NO. 3.
The same cows were fed the following
rations: Lot No. 1, to each cow pea-
vine hav 6 ponnds, silage 20 pounds,
wheat bran 4 pouuds, cottonseed meal
3}4 pounds, and to lot No. 2 exactly the
same ration except that in place of the
meal G pounds of whole seed were
substituted. At the end of four weeks*!
lot No. 1 had produced 1,403 pouuds of
milk, and lot No. 2, 1.395 pounds. Thu
result of this experiineut indicated that
pounds of meal arc just about equal
to six jionuds of seed.
EXPERIMENT NO. 3.
The same cows were fed the follow-j
ing rations: Loi No. 1 received for each
cow peavine hay 10 poinds, silage 15
d hulls, .
both, and if not voluntarily, whether
they muld be yradually trained to do so
by mi.riny them yradually, and by slowly
increasin'/ d>yrees with com and oats and
hay.
I have been unable to find a iccord of
any such experiments if ever made, and
I am going to send a copy of this letter
to the Director of our Georgia Station
and l»eg him to make a test of the mat
ter at the Georgia Station. If it could
Ik? done, even in part, it would have a
far-reaching effect in reducing our bill
to the west for com and oats, and sub
stituting a far more efficient food in its
nutritive value at a less cost. I will be
glad if you will write me if you have
ever tried to feed eottouseed meal or
hulls to your horses or mules.
Yours truly,
John M. McGanw.ess,
State Chemist.

Nothing can go out or my doors unless satisfaction gees with it, If I can’t please my S£d
‘
patrons in every way, I prefer not sell at all. Buying «
is a big item of expense. It is better to take your time about it and look around for
the best store. It is better to spend a little time in making selections than to spend
a long time in regret after you buy. My proposition is to serve you better than any
body else, both as to quality and price. That is the basis on which I ask your trade.
May I have it ? Give me a chance and will prove it.
