T SCOTT Ci BOWSE, ChsmUts, New York, j ANALYSIS OF COTTON SEED. Important and Interestin'- Deduc¬ tions of State C/Iiomis t. Dovedale, Ga., March 1.190J. To Oommiucom-r of Agriculture, At¬ lanta, Ga.: reli Djcak Sin—Will you kindly mo the unmbar of p iuu is of nitrogen, phos phorio acid au>i potash contained in a ion of cotton seed, and in a ton of cot¬ ton good meal and tue price ot same per ton. I want to know it a farmer can afford to soli seed at 21 coats per poaud and buy meal at $i2 per ton ana Haul each 6 miles. Colonel Redding fays “tbs farmer who uses cottcu seed as a fertilizer is acting vary much against hia own interest " 1 want to do some figuring ior myself. Your a traW, J. D. IdYKICK. Atlanta, March 0, 1900. To Mr. J, D My rick; Dovedale, Ga.t Dear Sir— Your letter of March 1 received. The state chemise informs , me that a ton of cotton seed on an av j erase contains R2.0 lbs. nitrogen at ISl-jC per lb......^8 34 - ii5.4 lbs. phos. acid n$8%c p : ‘V lb tS MA iba. potash at 4/^c per lb... 911 ' ilO 12 A!ro that a ton of cotton seed meal contains: 3(1 lbs. nitrogen at l.'iC.n per lb.... / 57.0 108. pho8, acid at per lb... 2 02 35.4 lbs, potash at 434 c per lb....... ■ 1 5U Total valuation.................... $ 2 i 65 ! Iu other words, a ton of meal is worth for lnanurial’vaiuo alone $11.63, a ton more thau a ton of seed. At 22 cents per bushel, counting 67 bushels to a ton, your seed will bring you $14.74 a ton, leaving $4 63, which ihe manu¬ facturer has paid you for the oil over and above iho value of the fertilizing elements, or at the rate of 11 }j£ cents a gallon for iho oil before it is pressed. The oil has no fertilizing value what¬ ever, and in point of fact is a drawback, retarding the decomposition of the seed in tho soil and rendering the mauurial matier in them les3 available. Now if you are wise you will buy meal on that basis; buy your own acid and potash and mis them according to thi3 formula: Muriate of potash...... ..... 20 pounds Acid phosphate........ ..... 281 pounds Cottonseed meal....... ..... 2Su pounds Total.................. 581 pounds Or if you desire use 100 pounds of kanit m place of 20 pound* of muriate of pot¬ ash. Some Very successful farmers do not think that too much to use per acre; if you think it exrravagant, use as much as your judgment and circumstances will auihorize. You would be still wiser if you keep stock to feed the cotton seed meal to them and carefully save ill the manure, liquid and solid; and urobably the best way to do this is by penning the cattle on the land to be ! manured until you figure that you have i ed them about 300 pounds of meal per | tore, aud thea move yoar pen to fresh ground. Then when you come to plant his piece of ground iu cotton, nut on 200 or 300 pounds of acid phosphate and 20 pounds of muriate or (100 pouuds kanit) per acre, the ammonia having already ooen put on by the catile. In this way you will not lose over 10 per cent Of tlt9 fertilizing matier in the meal, and you will get all tho flesh forniug and fat forming manor of your cottonseed meal converted into beet, butter and milk. Depend upon it my fr ond, this is the •'royal road*'to wealth and prosperity for tho southern farmer, and those who keep iu the “middle of the road” will got theto first and quickest.

This PLANTING BROOM GBRN IT THRIVES BEST OX THE LAND WHERE OI U NATIVE CORN CHOWS BEST. PREPARATION OF THE SOIL jyi ns t j£ c Well Erckoii and Ka nur-ed.—Seed lrlako Good Feed When Idixed With Gats. Deaf. Sir- We have your favor ask iDg miormalion in rega: a to broom corn, and we reply as follow-: i This plant is a variety of ‘wgW ami a native of the Disc Indies, l'be introduction of this plant is atuibu ted; » Dr. Franklin, who. finding a seed on a whisk-broom that had boeu imported, planted it, and from this originated the j culture of “broom corn” in me United | States. The average product of brush j per acre is about 600 pounds. There has ^eeu produced from very fine soil and locality as high as 1,000 pounds per i acre . . As there seems to be no substi tute for broom-coru brush, there is j i always a demand for if, and it is a crop t b at ca n he easily cultivated. It is a j profitable one for the farmers to raise in those sections to which it is vreil adapted. The soed makes a very good feed for ; horses when mixed with oats. It is also a fine food for pouirry, after the chicks are two or throe weeks old, when fed with other food. When ground j with our common Indian corn in pro port,on to three bushels of broom corn to one of Indian corn, it makes good food for cattle, hogs or sheep. Generally speaking, broom-corn grows best where our native corn grows best, and the preparation of the laud is simi¬ lar to that for corn. Good river or branch bottom land is best suited to this plant; but any good land, well drained, will, with barnyard manure or a good fertilizer, make a good yield. The bet¬ ter plan is to broadcast the manure, plow and harrow the same so as to pul¬ verize the soil thoroughly. Plant in the drills or in hills. The rows may be from three to four feet, according to the variety to be grown; the dwarf varieties in throe-feet rows and the larger varieties in four feet rows. The hiils may be two or three feet apart. When the seed are sound and well ripened two quarts will be sufficient to plaut one acre. Be sure to get good seed. You can use the see i driUs that wiil P laiu ' s,Ma11 ge0,J * or lf only a few acres are to be P lailted > y° u cau P laut wltb ,h ' 3 hand - Tue c ° hlva * noil is similar to that of corn, only you have to use more care ana skill becauso of the smallness of the plane. Thinning should . ,, , bo done when the . plants , are two or three inches high, leaving live or s.x iu the bill, or if drilled, the stalks should be left three or four inches apart. The time of harvesting will depend upou the use to be made of the crop. When you plaut only for the broom com brush, you may cut much earlier than when tile seed is ne of the objects sought, tv hen trie blossoms begin to fall, yell me l)6gin your harvesting, that is, if die brush is the pbject sought, The quality of tha brush is better when cut on Iho green order, for ihe reason that it makes the straw tough aud gives it a live color, and accordingly com mauds a better price in the market. Before harvesting it is customary to break down tho stalks, turning down the tops of the stalks of two rows to¬ wards each other, thus leaving a vacant place for the laborer to werk iu cutting. Ths sralks are broken about three feet above the ground, and when the stalks of two rows are turned towards each other, the stalks of one row will cross those of the other in such a manner as the tops will project about a foot on each side. Each two rows are then broken in tho same way until the crop has been finished. This will leave a space through which the harvester can t ass in cutting tho brush, which is usually (p,,^ immediately after tho crop is broken . The dwarf varieties do not re quire the breaking process, as the stalk is low and the buucii is not so long and heavy. Cut tho brush so os to leave only t> or 10 inches of the stalk b8lovv it and uo leaves, These should be laid in t email bundles as cut and thea gathered | up and placed under shelter. It D best , uot to cure it in the suu. Do not allow any rain to fall ou the brush after cut- : ting. Cure in the shade, under shelter if possible When extensive crops are grown special barns are built for this purpose, with extensive shelving, so that the air can pass through the brush, j ibat it mav not- mold or be damaged. Where the brush is harvested , green the , seed is generally separated from it be fore curing. This is d me with a hand machine made for the purpose. It cau also be done by the grain threshing ma¬ chine br holding the head to the evlin der arid , not permuting the . brush . . to , be drawn in. The broom corn stalk, when cut at the proper tima, makes a fairly good coarse forage and compares favor ably with corn staik forage. Iu preparmg tba broom corn brush for marset, it cau either be baled in the com inou cotton press or in a press for baiiug bay. When the brush is baled in this way n esu be much more easily ha a dlea aud marketed. The prices for name range from 3 cents to 1 ) cents per pound, according to quality.
