A Farmer Makes a Test

Ought to Make for Himself.

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

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.
