Two lots of four cows each were ta kill, and lot No. I was fed this ration for each cow: Peaviue hay,-5 pounds; s ^ a gc, 39 pounds; wheat bran, 4 pounds; cottonseed meal, JJ pounds. Lot No. 3 received as a ration for each cow, pea vine hay, 5 pounds; silage, 30 pounds; wheat bran, 4 pounds aud cottonseed, 10 The experiment lasted for four weeks ami at tho eml of that period lot 1 had produced 1,337 pounds milk, and lot No. 3 had produced 1,3334 pounds of .milk, also lot No. 1 had lost > •unds each in weight and lot No. 3 ha.l gained 13 pounds each in weight, As a result of this experiment we see that 0 iwunds of wbol ° vottomseod are superior to 3 pouuds of cottonseed meal p,., L j, as ujjiif and flesh producers. experiment no. 3 . The same cows were fed the following L:)t .

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 i worG ivaehed: First* that o pmads of , . •, •» * . , j cdu^uvm a*- va are oa|u.a i to i> pounds i>f | i coru °* cottonseed Hlul e ’ b ‘ aeal: meal secaad gave as * that satisfactory 3 R'uutls 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: Cost- of steer at commence¬ ment of test. . ....$51.93 Cost of fo< <f!....... .... 19.00 C (>st of Lit tendance............ o.V) Total cost...... , . . ..$74.63 ____ Total value of steer.......$99.63 .......ia Net gain....... t.98 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.

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.

Call on me. Mis, (SEMM. 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¬ P :u-e d with tho feeding value and money value of cottonseed aud cottonseed merd.

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.
