Agricultural Value of Fertilizers A Farmer Makes a Test Such as Every Farmer Ought to Make for Himself. I From Frotressive Farmer: I have made a little uuano ex pediment this year which proved * follows: One acre without irnano made j 741 j rounds seed, or 240 pounds j #at cotton. One acre with 400 pounds guano made 020 pounds seed or 30S pounds lint cotton?205 pounds seed (sixty-eiaht pounds lint) cotton more than the acre without uuano. <>ne acre with 800 pounds *>ie?no made 1.030 pounds seed **343 pounds lint cotton?300 pounds seed (103 pounds lint) cotton more than the acre with wi guano. j The cost of guano and apply ing was as follows: Hauling guano eight miles, 12K per sack $0 25 Spreading guano, two sacks @ 10c 20 J'icking 308 pounds fy 40c. per cwt 1.23 tluano $2.25 per sack 4 50 Total 0.18 *0 we see 400 pounds guano made? Sixty -eight pounds lint @ 10c $6.80 l^our bushels seed S 20c. . .80 Total 7.GO cnut nf fiiann A 1 8 Profit 1.4u &> we see 400 pounds guano ^er acre paid $1.42 clear. At. same rate one ton guano bould pay $7.10 per ton, but at the rate of 800 pounds per acre paid $1.G0 per 800 pounds or $4 yer ton. It seems to me 300 pounds faano per acre will pay best We farmers do too much like th-e boy in the old story who was going to mill a?>d had the corn in t>ne end of sack and rocks in the *ther, and some one met him ml asked why he did not divide the c(?rn and not carry rocks. And 2?e said: "That is the way daddy none." We go on the same old way?slip snod too often. \ think guano way pay better 1 lo put out, say halt before plant. >ng and the other at second plowwg. , fJuano is too high any way, 3'rom $4 to $7.10 is not enough ? >?> make on a ton, and cotton at \ iocents per pound. lit seems to me the Alliance t tight sell its shoe factory and convert it into a guano factory ?nd make an 8?2?2 guano lor 1 $20. J. M. Cade. J 11 irnetl Co., N. C. , Five Acres in Corn Netted * $295. t 5Ir. John A Hcdgin has not gotten how to /arm with the I most appro\ed methods, This " year he planted five acreH in ? rorn at a cost of $22; the cultivat- * *ig cost $5; to harvest and cut it Department. $15; to shred it $5?a total cost ot $47. lie gathered 300 bushels which, at sixty-five cents, is worth $195; he had 2,800 pounds of feed at $5 a hundred, $ 140 ; he raised with the corn 150 pumpkins worth five cents each, making the total receipts $342.50. Deduct the cost, $47, and there is a net profit ot $295. For five acres this will strike the average man as being good. Not many farmers can beat it.? Greensboro Record. Cotton Seed Meal For Hogs. The Texas Experiment Station has sent us bulletin 78 experiments in feeding fermeuted cotton seed meal to hogs. The following is a summary of the bulletin : 1 A comparison of ttie results of this experiment with those of other stations at which cotton seed meal was fed in the ordinary way indicates that cotton ;ed meal may be used in larger quantities and for longer periods when fermented and fed in a slop. 2. The reports of feeders who have used cotton seed meal for hogs indicate that a light feed of cotton seed meal may be continued indefinitely, and that the consumption of green feed lessens the danger of death from feeding it. 3. lu this trial the hogs were yard fed during the hot summer season, consequently they were under conditions making the trial as severe as possible. Under such conditions fermenting cotton seed meal does not entirely remove its injurious effect when fed to hogs. 4. The results of this exoeri meut show that for the first 43 days of the feeding the mixture containing cotton seed meal and corn gave larger and cheaper grains than the straight corn ration, while during the second period of 40 days the results were reversed. This leads to the suggestion that to improve a corn ration it would be advisable to add cotton seed meal to it for about 40 days, preferable for other reasons also, during the last 40 days of the feeding. 5. The hogs that received cotton seed meal as a part of their ration in this trial showed less fat and more lean meat in the carcass. 0. The carcasses ot the hogs that received cotton seed meal, contrary to the previously expressed opinion of the packers, were firmer and therefore more acceptable to them than th >se of Lhe corn fed hogs.
