FEED COTTON SEED MEAL
By President Andrew M. Soule.
When the pastures begin to shorten,
there is nothing cheaper or bettor
to use than cotton seed meal to keep
up milk production. The meal may
be fed in the stable manger at milk
ing time along with a small amount
of cotton seed hulls or other dry
roughness. The added Toughness in
sures a better admixture with Hie di
gestive juices and keeps the meal
from adhering so freely to the man
ger.
Feed from two to three pounds of
cotton seed meal to any cow weigh
ing from 800 to 1,000 pounds and giv
ing from one and a half to two gal
ions of milk per day. The amount
should be increased or decreased ac
cording to the size ot the cow. A
FOREST GROUND FIRES VERY IN
JURIOUS.
Alfred Akerman, Professor of
Forestry.
Inquiry—Are forest ground fires or
leaf fires very injurious?
Unquestionably ground fires are
very injurious. Compared to the hu
man family, the Injury to the seed
lings and seeds of the forest by
ground fires, is equivalent to killing
the babies. No new generation of for
est growth can be started so long as
forest fires prevail.
Second to the slaughter of the in
fants of the forest, the greatest in
jury comes of scorching (lie larger
trees. The fire wounds thus made
will show up in the lumber in the
form of splotches or irregularities de
preciating the value. The wound
lowers the vitality of the tree and
hence retards its general develop
meat. The Injurious insects prefer to
attack an injured tree and the fire
wound invites the attack of fungi or
rot.
Next in the degree of injury in
flicted by the fire, is to the soil by
reason of humus being consumed
along with the litter in process of
turning into humus. Soil without hu
mus is. of course, poor soil for supply
ing plant food to growing trees
After the fires, weeds, briers, sum
ach and other growths thrive and tend
to choke out reproduction.
A community should turn out. to
fight a forest fire as they would a the
consuming a neighbor’s house. The

COLLEGE NEWS NOTES.
President Andrew M. Soule has
been elected vice president of the as
social ion of agricultural colleges of
the United States.
l)r. H. M. Burson, professor of vele
rinary science is issuing a special
bulletin on hog cholera telling of the
preventive serum now being used so
effectively, and the results obtained
in Georgia this year.
The annual bulletin on corn chili
and tomato club work will he out in
a short time, giving the various win
ners, names of those who went
through the year and did the work
assigned and also the data about
yields, etc.
From all reports, there will be the
biggest turn-out of farmers at the
short course of the College this year
than ever. While the cotton crop has
been poor and money is short, fann
ers are awake to the fact that If the
next year is to be a better one, they
had better come up to the college
and learn how to gfow other crops as
well as what, to grow.
A calf born to a college thorough
bred Jersey while on exhibition at

having been elected president, on the
