Which would pay mo the better ru-xt year, one ton of -<v-d with .'1 -id or 1,200 pounds of nq-ul witli acid? Answer—l have quite often replied to Hila question in this way: Tlie oil eon-, tamed in one ton of seed Is of no value as a. fertilizer, but Is wort!'. In the mar ket not less than $lO. The hulls contain but a small amount of plant food—not j more than $3 worth, evr-tt If In an im ! mediately available condition, which is ' not ihe <■:<:-■<•. Eight l:undi<-d <800) pounds of cot;<>n seed meal are full equivalent in I fertilizing value to one ton of whole I seed. So then. If you can get 1,200 : pounds of meal in exchange for a ton j of a- ed, you have a margin of 400 pound ' of meal to set off against tin- < »st of ' hauling tin- ton of seed to the oil mill ' and t< telling home the 1,200 pound.-' of j : meal. It is a simple problem that any i ' man can solve for himself in a moment, j i whether he can do the hauling for the ■ i 400 pounds of meal (say $4,40). The ' ! answer to your last question is rh.-tir, be- I I • ause the 1,200 pounds Os meal are ■ ! worth just 50 per cent more as a fertil- | ! izer. or an ingredient of a fertilizer, i ; than a ton of s&ed. WiUi tlie 1.200 ! pounds of meal mix about 1.700 pounds ; of of 14 per cent acid phosphate and 125 ’ 1 pounds of muriate of potash, and you . | will have a complete fertilizer for cotton, i i I MEASLEY PORK AND TAPE M'ORMS : .

(3: CURING MEAT. ’ H. 8., Covington, La —(I) I have six I acres that .! want to put Into a permanent | hog pasture. It had oats on It this spring jand l:.ts laid out since. The field is aixiut i ha .< covered with wire or bermuda grass. ! J want ft more for a spring and summe pasture than winter. Jamd is level and I overflows once in a while. What Is the I best thing I can do with it? '.2) Vihiit can I plant in the adjoining : field that 1 could cut or gather to fe.-d i hogs? Would sorghum do? If so, at what stage of growth is it to be used? This pasture is intended for brood sow’s. (3) What is the best way to cure meat? ( ' in it be "!ire<| at home like that whi h Mr. Sawtell, tiie butcher of Atlanta, cure.'? The curing of meat in this section does not s'-in to be very well under stood. An answer to Hie above will be appre- Anssvcr—(l) 1 think It would be well to encourage Hie spreading of the bermuda grass, by plowing and setting out more : roots. Then sow next September with . half a bushel of hairy vetch seed and 20 i pounds of genuine rescue grass and two i bushels of burrs of burr clover. Take hogs off by April 1, or perhaps earlier, to give Hie burr clover and the vetch a . chan ■■ to make seed, which they will do by May 10 to 15. <2: Sorghum i < an excellent soiling plant j for both hogs and cattle, as well as hor.-c 5 and mules. (3) 1 have no royal method for curing meat. You can cure it as Mr. Sawtell < does, provided you have plenty of ice. j The main point with a. farmer Is to have i his pork hogs ready to kill early in De- i , ccinbcr, < specially in tile far south. Af ter salting down well for four to five i i weeks (:.:<•■.'< riling to the weather), take up i Hie pork, knock or sweep off the surplus salt ami smoke until dry and brown. Then take down and trim off all loose shreds of nmat. hold '-ach joint in boiling water about half minute, wipe clean and j ■ lit them dry in the shade. Then cover ! each piece completely with two thick- ! :losses of ihii'K paper, so that it can be secured by tying around tlie leg end and j leaving a loop to hang up by. Slip each piece into an old flour sack, tie th’» mouth of the. sack around the string and hang in a cool, dry, airy place. I have .■lever thought that sugar, sirup, pepper, etc., added any real flavor to tlie meat The point Is to salt well, dry well and protect against the skipper fly.
