Two lots of four cows each were ta

for each cow: Peaviue hay,-5 pounds;

cottonseed meal, JJ pounds. Lot No. 3

wheat bran, 4 pounds aud cottonseed, 10
The experiment lasted for four
weeks ami at tho eml of that period lot

milk, and lot No. 3 had produced 1,3334
pounds of .milk, also lot No. 1 had lost

As a result of this experiment we see
that 0 iwunds of wbol ° vottomseod are

The same cows were fed the following
L:)t . Xo. 1, to each cow pea

whe.it bran 4 pounds, cottonseed moal
8 1 ., pounds, and to lot No. 3 exactly the
same ratiou except that in place of the
meal 0 pounds of whole seed were
substituted. At the cud of four weeks
lot No. 1 had produced 1,403 pounds of
milk, and lot No. 3, 1,395 pounds. The
result of this experiment indicated that
S 1 s pounds of meal are just about equal
to six pounds of seed. •
exI’iorimext no. 3.
Tho saui.' cows wore fed the follow
ing rations: Lot No. I received for each
cow peaviue hay 10 pounds, silage 15
pounds wheat bran :i pounds, corn aud
oobmeal (i pounds, aud cottonseed (5
pounds. Lot No. 3 received for each
cow j r‘oisely tho same ration except
that 4 pounds of cottonseed meal were
given iu i>!aco of the cottonseed. At the
eml of tlio period lot No. 1 had produced
1,302 iwhuds yf milk, aud lot No. 3 1,586
pounds, show lug the 4 pounds of meal
to be decidedly superior to the 0 pounds
of seed. Summing up tho following
conclusions may bo drawn concerning
therations: First, that 6 pounds of seed
! are superior to 3 pounds of meal; second,
| tlmt 6 pounds of seed are. about equal to
3k. pounds of meal; thirti, that (J pounds
■
of seal are not equal i o I pounds of meal;
fourth, t hut one pound of mml would
theiv loro be equal to i. /1 pounds of cot
ton seed.
The Mississippi station then von tinned
j its valuable experiments comparing cot
tonsiHHl and cottonseed meal with corn
and cob meal as milk producers. The
same quantities of peaviue hay, silage
and wheat bran were fad as before, ex
cep;, that in these experiments cotton
seed v, u- compared with corn and cob
an al in tho 11,-* ,t of experiments and
in 'he second ;et cottonseed meal was
eon© ared with corn and cob me.il. With
' out going into the minute details of the
exiK»rinienfcs as before I will content my
self with giving the conclusions
: by tho s vtion as c result of their work,
L-ivst. that lh.- lo: receiving the 6 pounds
1 gave a bettor yield of milk
than the one receiving 6 ixauid-of com
aud cob ni'd. Second, the lot fed 6
utuls of c Kb .useodgave better ivsults
1 than the one fed 8 pounds of corn and
cob meal , and also that 6 pounds of corn
id cc b meal gave just as much
:1k as did S of the same meal. In
I the second set of experiments compor
ing ciKt-mscod meal with com and
I eob ,ucnl tho f"11°wing oonolttsions

yields of milk as 8 pounds of com and
gain o: the steer. The cow has produced
94 per cent, of -ugar agaius; the steer’s
nothing, Cto and one-third times as
much prat in and over half as much fat,
and if the sugar is rsduoed to its fat
equivalent, nearly as much fat as the
steer. Practically ail of the constituents
of milk are dig wiible and it constitutes
the best and most nourishing of foods,
It is thus apparent that the caw is by far
the most economical machine for the
c mdcn.sing and manufacture of our
course folders aud grains into cheap
food products.
In an experiment conducted at the
Ontario Agricultural College one of the
mixed moal for MO days gave the follow¬
ing financial results:

ment of test. . ....$51.93

A good cow fed this same ration for
the same period, cost of attendance the
same as for steer ought to produce 23
pounds lit milk a day. Assuming the
milk to contain 4 percent of fat and the
cow to be worth the first cost of the
steer, we have: the following financial
results for butter dairying:
T 'alue of cow...... .......$51.93

TJiis seems to be a fair comparison of

THE PEACH LEAF-CURL
it IS PAUTICULAKLY HAD IN THE
NOliTlf GEORGIA ORCH¬
ARDS THIS SEASON.
PRESENT CROP THREATENED
In Some Localities It May Bo Par¬
tially Destroyed - Experiments
• Show It Can Bo Controlled.
[BY W. M, SCOTT, STATE KXT01IOX.O(38ST.[
For the past several years this disease,
popularly known as “leaf curl,” and
technically known as exoascus deform
ans, has been quite prevalent in the
poach orchards of north Georgia. It is
particularly bad this season, aud in some
localities threatenthe partial destruction
of the present fruit crop.
The symptoms of the disease are very
oharaetoristie aud any ordinary observer
can readily detect it. The disease most
commonly develops iu the leaves, but it
also attacks tho tissues of tho t wigs. The
mycelial growth of the fungus in the
leaf increases the size and number yf
tho cells, causing tho format! >n of a so
vies of irregular transverse folds. Tho
leaf is also greatly enlarged, both tarns
Tersely and longitudinally; and one side
is usually strongly eon vexed, so much
so that frequently the bulging along tho
midrib pushes the margins of the leaf
toward each other on the other side, giv
ing it an mflated appearance. Thetis
sues of the distorted parts thicken and
the leaf looses its grtwi color, changing
to pale, with yellowish tints. '
The disease appears iu early spring as
soon as the leaves are out and develops
very rapidly. The fnuctiou of the leaves
(tbe breathing apparatus of the tree) is
entirely destroyed bjv this fuugna, hence
the vigor of the rive and the develop
ment of the fruit are materially im
paired, frequently causing the fruie to
shed aud decreasing the longevity of the
tree,
All affected leaves are shed in the
early psirf of the summer, and if the
trees are well cultivated aud fertilized a
new set of healthy leaves will come out,
and nothing more will be seen ef the
disease until the following spring.
The fungus'is mycelium or vegetative part of
this perennial and passes the
!ate summer, autumn and winter in the
tissues of the leaf and buds,
out with the developing leaf iu tho fol
ing spring.
remedy.
Until recently very little was known
concerning the treatment of the leaf
curl. On Jan. 16 of this year, tbe writer
began a series of experiments in the or
cluml of Judge George F. Gober at Ma
rietta, Ga., looking to the control of this
disease, both as to the substance to be
used aud the time of applying it. The
results of these experiments are all that
could be desired. While the work is not
yet completed sufficient results have
been obtained to show that the disease
eaube easily aud cheaply controlled.
Th-J plan of the experiment is given iu
brief below, but fall details and ex
plantation Ciumot be . in this
gone mtp ar
; tide. Several thousand trees were in
eluded in the experiment and each row
represents from 50 to 800 trees. Thaor-

to fatten; third, 3' J jxmnds of cotton
seed meal are better than either 6 or 8
pounds of com and cob meal in tho dairy
rations used; fourth, that in a well bal
anced dairy ration 3 pounds of corn aud
cob meal are about equal to 1 pound of
cottonseed meal. Summarizing, the fol¬
lowing conclusions were drawn:
First, that 1 pound of cottonseed is
equal to 1.17 pounds of corn aud cab meal
or to 0.58 of a pound of cottonseed meal.
Second, that 1 pound of cottonseed
meal is equal to 1.71 pounds of cotton¬
seed, or to 3 pounds of corn and cob
meal.
Third, that 1 pound of corn and cob
meal is equal to one-half pound of cotton¬
seed meal, or to 0.85 of a pound of cotton¬
seed.
The Mississippi station officer then
concludes as follows: “According to
these results, if corn is worth 40
cents per bushel or $14.38 a ton,
cotton^ ed should be worth 37.8 cents .a
bushel, or $16.70, and cottonseed meal
$38.56 a ton. If cottonseed are worth
I® CClltS a bushel Ol’ $6.00 a toll, COITI
shoiud be worth 9.1 cents a bushel or
® 5 - 10 a ton, aud cottonseed meal should
hv worth $10.3(3 a ton. When cottonseed
niea t worth §1(3.00 a ton cottonseed
should be worth 15.4 cents a bushel or
$0-^8 a ton, and corn meal should be
worth 14.8 cents a bushel oi* $3.00 a ton.
Thus you see that the three conclusions
abovo ai’e valuable to you because they
enable yot| to calculate for yourself
whether yon can afford to feed corn at
^o your cattle, and from the above
Agares it appears that you cannot afford
f° ( 4° so at all at any price per bushel
that corn ever sells at in this section of
the country, because its feeding value is
80 h»r below its money value when corn¬

I have been unable to find a record of

I am going to send a copy of this letter
to the Director of our Georgia Station
and beg him to make a test of the
ter at the Georgia Station. If it could
be done, even iu part, it would have a
far-reaching effect in reducing our bill
to the west for corn and oats, and sub
stimting a far more efficient feed in its
nutritive value at a less cost. I will bo
glad if you will write me if you have
ever tried to feed cottonseed meal or
hulls to your horses or mules.
