FOOD FOR MILCH FOILS
Dairying and Cheese Making
Attracting Attention.
SOME VALUABLE EXPERIMENTS.
The Relative Values of Foods with Cotton
Seed lltill* and Without Them—Cotton
Seed Food Not Good Without Other
Food Mixed—Cotton Seed Meal Valuable
nnd Can lie Safely Fed.
The possibilities of Georgia in dairy -
flip and cheese making is at the pres
ent time excitin'; increased interest.
A dairyman's .association is now con
templated and with attention attracted
to the subject we hope to w-e great de
velopment and progress in this agricul
tural industry. Pertinent to the ques
tion are the many inquiries relative to
the proper ration for milch cows. To
the south, this presents its most injpor
tant feature, as to the extent and proper
ration with the use of cotton seed meal
and cotton seed hulls. The former
finds a ready consumption as a fertilizer
bnt if care is exercised it can be used
both as a food and a fertilizer —the
dropping losing but little of the meas
ured value of the food while the milch
and food making properties are utilized.
Cotton seed hulls, if utilized, must
find their place as a feed stulT for the
maintenance of stock or the dairy.
Careful experiment is the best test as
to how to utilize those two great pro
ducts of the southern oil mills and we
therefore give a synopsis of the work of
the Tennessee and Georgia stations on
the proper and profitable ration.
FROM THE TENNESSEE STATION.
Synopsis. —An experiment witli two
lots of six cows each in substituting cot
ton seed hulls for a ration of corn silage
and hay. The trial lasted three and a
half months. Thirteen pounds of hulls
were found to to equivalent to a ration
of 15 pounds of silage and *i pounds of
hay, and to cost about 10 per cent less.
The continued use of cotton seed hulls
and cotton seed meal with no other food
was found to to unsafe.
An experiment is reported in substi
tuting cotton seed hulls for corn silage
and hay in a ration for milch cows.
Twelve cows of the station herd were
divided into two lots of six each. The
trial lasted from December 15 to March
29. At the beginning of the trial, lot A
was fed 50 pounds of corn silage, (l
pounds of lmy, 3 pounds of cotton seed
meal, and fi jxmnds of wheat bran; and
lot 1! was fed 25 pounds of cotton seed
hulls, 4 pounds of cotton seed meal, and
4 pounds of corn meal. After a few
weeks feeding in this way cotton seed
hulls were gradually substituted for the
corn silage and hay in the ease of lot A,
and com silage ar.d hay were gradually
substituted for the cotton seed hulls iu
the ration of lot 11.
Finally the grain ration was also
changed so tliut lot A received the ra
tion throughout which lot II had been
fed, and vice versa. In the last period
of 20 days.,both lots were brought-back
to a uniform ration of 15 pounds of corn
silage, 18 pounds of cotton seed hulls, 3
pounds of cotton seed meal, and 5
pounds of wheat bran. Full data for
the experiment are tabulated for each
animal. Most of the cows ate the ra
tion of hay and silage more eagerly
than the cotton seed hulls.
It was found that the ration of cotton
seed products fed alone, i, e., cotton
seed hulls and cotton seed meal, could
not long lie safely continued.
The result shows that 13 pounds of
cotton seed hulls can to 1 advantageously
used to take the place of 15 jxmails of
corn silage and (! jxiuuds of hay in mak
ing np a ration with 3 islands of cotton
seed meal and 5 pounds of wheat bran,
while reducing the cost about 10 per
cent.
We are thoroughly convinced that,
properly used, cotton seed hulls, from
sound seed and free of extraneous mat
ter, of such quality as those furnished
to us for this series of experiments, are
a valuable addition to our list of feed
stuffs for milch cows. We can recom
mend as giving satisfactory results the
use of as much as 15 pounds of cotton
seed hulls in the daily ration per 1,000
pounds live weight. A larger propor
tion has, with our cows, caused a weak
ening of the digestive powers, evidenced
in some cases by a tendency to diarrhea,
in others to constipation.
Cotton seed meal is the most valuable
of all the socalled waste products used
as feed stuffs. It can be safely fed for
long i>eriods, as much as o pounds per
day i>er 1,000 pounds live weight, in the
ration for cows giving milk. For but
ter making it is not advisable to exceed
3 pounds daily. As the cow approaches
the time for calving, the proportion of
cotton seed meal should .not exceed 3
pounds daily.
Cotton seed meal and cotton seed hulls
should be far more extensively used as
cattle food. Those products of the cot
ton fields of the south will enable the
farmers of Trunesse to maintain or to
restore the fertility of their lands at the
least cost for manures.
FROM THE GEORGIA STATION.
To compare cotton seed hulls (10
pound#) with sorghum silage (30 pounds),
eight cows were fed for a period of eight
days on the one ration.and then changed
, to tlie other for eight days longer.
Wheat bran, cotton seed meal, and tim
othy hay were fed alike with both

that 10 pounds of cotton snl hulls are
not equivalent to 314 pounds of sorghum
silage. The cows t-oulil not to induced

Another trial to compare corn silage
with cotton seed hulls, each fed alone,
was discontinued after eight days on ac
count of the shrinkage in milk and in
live weight of the cows fed on hulls
alone. The lot fed on silage neither
gained nor lost in weight, but the milk
yield shrunk nearly 19 jxmnds.
GENERAL REMARKS.
There Is a General Improvement in Crop*
Throughout tlie State.
We are pleased to to able to report a
general improvement in all crops; boun
tiful rains have fallen all over the state,
resulting in the rapid growth of all
plants.
COTTON.
The condition of cotton throughout
the state has greatly improved, but not
in such marked degree as that of other
plants, for the reason that much moist
ure with this crop lias a tendency to
produce weed, without a corresponding
production of fruit. However, for the
state, over tin- report for last mouth, an
improvement of 5 percent is shown.
CORN.
Our farmers are to lie congratulated
on tlie abundant yield of this great crop
that is assured. Early in the season,
and even luter, the severe drouth appar
ently would reduce the crop to a very
poor average. The rains, however,with
the exception of that part of the state
where tlie plant advanced to such a de
greeof maturity as to to beyond recuper
ation, have so improved tlie conditions
that we are in many sections assured a
very large yield, while for the whole
state the average is good.

STATISTICS.
in addition to the usual questions
sent out. the department sent out the
following:
It is the object of the department to
compile as accurate statistics as possible
in regard to the average yield per acre
in cotton, corn and other leading crops,
and therefore we request, and would ap
preciate it if yon would make your an
swers as careful as possible. We recog
nize the fact that in regard to acreage,
estimates are difficult, but hope from
tlie views of all to obtain approximately
correct figures. The questions relating
to average yield, except when specified,
apply to the general average, or usual
crop, and to no particular year.
A compilation of the inquiries sent
under these heads shows a usual yield
or general average during a series of
years for tlieeutire state of 12 1-2 bushels
of corn, 7 2-3 bushels of wheat, 14 2-3
bushels of oats, S bushels of rye, sweet
potatoes 93 1-3 bushels, hay 2,127 pounds,
average yield of lint cotton per acre 183.

A few years ago there arose a class of
farmers who wore ready to claim that
tillage was manure, and for a year or
two there was much discussion of the
subject, and while the position of these
men we speak of was not maintained,
I much good was done in directing atteu
? tion, iu a forcible manner, to the impor
tance of good tillage. Tillage is not
manure at any tiiuq nor under any cir
cumstances; for it does not furnish any
thing to the soil that was not there be
: fore, but good tillage will make availa
ble much plant food that would have
been locked up under other circum
stances. It' land is not put in good tilth
before the sets! is planted, it is impossi
ble to get the best results from it . Every
little lump that is left in the soil is use-
I iess so far as the growing crop is con
cerned, for the plant food in it is not
available. Often a very good crop may

| and in bad shape if only perfect tillage

American Farmer and Farm News. »
When you sell a cow, sell the poorest
one you have, but dod't swear that she
is the best one. It is pretty hard to do
this, but it can be done, and you will
