It Is desired to call Attention to some of the practical hk well as seicntUlo features connected with the liu I Is and meal as a stock food. The practice is not a now one, except in the sense that the whole cotton seed oil Industry iM recent, and hence none of its outgrowths can have been long established. Probably the first attempts at systematically feeding an exclusive radon of hulls and meal on a large sen 1c have been made within four or live years. These eases have been local, confined to the vicinities of the oil manufacturing centers like New Orleans, Memphis, Houston, Little Hock. Raleigh and Atlanta, and hence have not attracted general attention. Up to the present time nothing likcaneco nomical ulilizution of the cotton seed Mulls has boon attempted, the common practice having been to burn thcin under the mill boilers as a cheap means of disposal, and even the valuable ashes thus produced have been largely exported toother parts of the country. As an absorbent for bedding stock they arc found to undergo rapid decay, giving olf perceptible quantities of ammonia, and hence arc not regarded with favor by those who have tried them in this way. The process of separating the kerkels of the cotton seed from the hulls, in the oil mills, consists essentially In crushing and cutting the seeds and dividing the two portions by a system of screens and shakers. At first sight it would seem to be a physical imnosslbillty for an animal to consume any appreciable quantity of the hulls thus produced. They consist of fragments of seed coats one-sixteenth to one-fourth inch in diameter, of dark brown color, very tough and teathery and entangled in a mass of cotton fibers, which still adhere to the outside of the hulls and which the ginning process falls to entirely remove. It is apparently the most dry and tasteless form of animal food which could be found. It is a matior of difficulty to reduce it to anything like a suitable form for analysis. In the mortar it forms an elastic felt, while it is scarcely amendablo to any grinding process. Taken into the mouth it is harsh and dry. Mastication promotes an abundant secretion of saliva as would be only natural with any similar material. It has very little taste and that apparently duo to the small particles of the kernel remaining with the hulls. Altogether they possess apparently few inviting features as a food. In spite of this, it is said that animals which have never seen the hulls or meal before, soon acquire an eager appetite for them, and after a lew days, prefer such a diet to one composed of hay ami corn. Probably this is due to the meal rather than the hulls which, as already noted, arc well nigh tasteless. From the large amount of fibre on the hulls the danger of balling up or producing stopSages of the bowels might be anticipated. ut we have been unable to learn 01 a single such case, nor Is there even a tendency toward constipation. On the contrary, the effect upon the bowels Is loosening, which, with an excess of meal, may develop into "scouring." this is t,ne wen kdowq result 01 excessive feeding of cotton seed meal in connection with other materials. The hulls anil meal seem particularly adapted therefore to being fed together, the effects of each counteracting the other. All ages and conditions of cattle have been fed for beef. Naturally the same general principles which apply in other methods of feeding hold good here. Poor, scrubby animals, too young or too old, and in bad condition, are unprofitable under any system. Two and a half to four years is the best age, according to some authorities; In Houston, Texas, steers from four to six years old were most profitable. Steers are preferred to heifers. The best season is winter; summer feeding has been found unprofitable. The feeding should last three or four months, and the animals disposed of as soon as they have reached a stand still iu tho Increase of weight. It has been noted that, if carried beyond this point, hull-fed cattle arc liable to degenerate, especially on tho approach of warm weather. An average steer should receive at the beginning three or four pounds of meal dally, gradually increasing to six pounds. After six weeUs the feed may bo increased to eight or ten pounds. During the whole time as many hulls should be given as the animal will ear. but no more. Stress is laid upon these two points, viz: The feeding should be done with regularity and system, and no excess of food should be allowed to accumulate in the troughs, since the hulls, especially when wet by the "slobbering" of the cattle, quickly becomes sour and offensive. The ration mentioned above is that fed at Memphis, and costs nine to nine and one-half cents dally per animal. At Raleigh, N. C., for steers of 750 pounds weight, the ration was four or five pounds of meal and twenty pouuds of hulls, and costs seven ccnta dally per animal. At Houston, Texas, seven pounds of meal and twenty pounds of hulls were fed dally ut a cost oi six to nine cents. Beef, produced In this way. Is said to be of unusually fine quality. At least It haB no objectionable features. The lean portion is bright In color; the fat wnlte and brittle. The butchers complain that animals fattened la this way have an excess of kidney fat. It is also claimed that such animals shrink less In live-weight in shipping than others. A steer weighing 1,030 pounds gross yielded 630 pounds net. In the local dairies In the vicinity of Memphis, Tennessee, cotton seed hulls nave been fed as a substitute for hay for twelve or fifteen years, and so thoroughly has the practice become established by reason of its success, convenience and cheapness, that the dairymen wound be at a loss if deprived of the hulls. In the New Orleans dairies the use of hulls is universul, and the demand so great at times that hulls, for feeding purposes, have been shipped thence from Memphis. Cows soon learn to prefer the hulls to hay. The ration feed Is subject to more variation than in the fattening pens. An exclusive diet of hulls and meal is less commonly fed. Hulls, wheat bran and cotton seed meal or hulls, wheat bran and corn meal aro often fed. The ration in a leading Memphis dairy is two or three necks ol hulls, four quarts of wheat bran anu two quarts of corn meal daily. In these and in other rations the bulls are regarded as supplying the "roughness," 1. e., the coarse part of the food. In this respect they are cheaper than hay, costing only onethird to one-half as much per ton, last, as long nrwl orn fnf mnro pnnvnnlnnt. 1n Imrwllp. fet?d and mix. The milk and butter obtained from hull feeding are considered tree from all objectionable qualities. As regards the amounts produced in comparison wijh other methods of feeding, there are no records; but the fact that the hulls have established themselves so thoroughly in common practice speaks well for theirelllclcnty. It is believed that an excess of cotton seed meal fed to cows in call, induces abortion. This idea is also ourrent In other localities where cotton seed meal is fed and the hulls have never been seen, and apparently cannot bo ascribed to the latter. Cows are maintained In good condition on the hull diet. Ill one case, where only hulls and cotton seed meal were fed. It was found that the tendency to put on fat was prejudicial to the production of mi lie. In conclusion, we have found absolutely no reason why the cottou seed hull may not be substituted for hay or dairy feeding with entire safety and success. At Ualcigh, N. C., a few sheep were fod upon hulls and cotton seed meal exclusively, and though originally very inferior animals, became "line mutton," and the trial was considered an entire success. Also at Houston, Texas, good results are reported from feeding sheep iu tills way. From the result of our inquiries given above the feeding of cotton seed hulls to fattening and dairy animals would seem to be a successful practice. As to how far it may be extended is a question to be determined by the supply of hulls, prices asked and cost of transportation. Strong recommendations in their lavor are the ease and convenience of handling, their freedom from dust and the coarse, innutritions and sometimes harmful ..... tnciii Ifcj 1 ?i Imv unci <lmii* nnnnrr>nt health fulness and good clK-cts upon tho animal. Colton seed hulls cost in Memphis from 52.50 to33.00 per ton. An ordinary box car conlains about ten tons, or if bailed, twenty tons, but in this case they arc liable to damage by beating, and shipment loose or in sacks is recommended. They alsoheat quickly when wet, even in tho loose condition. The present supply is large in most of the oil manufacturing conters, by far the larger proportion being burned under tho boilers as a means of disposal. My scoclc of writing pads, box paper, tine linen note, envelopes aud stationery generally is larger and more complete than over. Would be glad to have you examine it before buying. Speed's Drugstore.

They must be reltcriited, and we shall continue to repeat: "Diversify your crops; avoid debt and liens; buy for cash and, by co-operation In Granges or Clubs, secure the economies of extensive and first hand purchases ; sell your produce with the Intervention of as few Intermediates as possible, so as to get as large a share as you can of what the consumer finally must pay lor it." At present, however, our purpose is simply to introduce a paper in which the lesson we desire to Inculcate is thrown into nnratlve form and may therefore get read, reflected on and talked about, when a plain statement of the same facts would command but little attention. This story of a cotton bale Is snid to nave been written by Mr. John i5. Noathery, of Raleigh, N. 0. We find it, credited to the Raleigh Crescent: CHAPTER I. I was raised in Wake county, North Carol 1 na, by a farmer of moderate means. At an early age I learned from a conversation between the farmer and a neighbor, that the laud on wnlch 1 was raised was mortgaged toaHultlmore firm, who had furnished fertilizers for the soil, and also to the Raleigh merchant who had sold supplies of Western bacon and and corn for the support of the field hands, and Northern hay and oats for the mules. The farmer complained that the necessity had forced him to pay a heavy fee for drawing and recording the mortgage securing the commission merchants. I noticed that the mules on the farm were poorly fed, ar.d that as they passed the lot gate ihey eagerly nipped a few bunches of luxuriantclovcr which had sprung up from seeds dropped out of the Nothern oats. The farmer said as the mules passed on, "I would sow an ucre In clover, but I need all my best luiid for cotton." I have nothing very remarkable to tell you concerning my youthful days. I observed that the hands employed in the field were poorly clad. Most of them wore coarse, cheap, Northern made clothes, shoes and hats, and from their rude talk 1 found that they had very little education. The wives and children of these farm laborers frequently came to the Held, and I saw that the women wore Northern calico dresses, and that the children were growing up In ignorance. After being picked and packed I was taken to Raleigh. The commission merchant said to the farmer: "Cotton is flat to-day, but I expect it will go up soon." The farmer sighed anil replied: "vveu,i gueas. x wcui/ iuiv a large new brick store, and accidentally heard the merchant say to the clerk: "Insure this bale of cotton and charge Mr. A. with Insurance and storage." 1 remained shut up for some time, when the farmer came one duy uud the merchant said to hltn: "Cotton Is no better, but I Hin compelled to have some money. I will ship your bale to Baltimore and do the best 1 can with it." A dray soon came up and I was hoisted into It. the merchant said : "Have this bale insured and directed to W. & A., Baltimore. They will pay the freight and insurance." I was hurried over the railroad to Norfolk, and thence by steamer to Baltimore. I was then stored for some time, when I was sold to an agent of a Rhode Island manufacturer. As I passed out I heard the merchant calculating how much was due him as storage and commission on my sale. My purchaser was also busy In getting out his Insurance on me, and arrauging to pay freight 0.1 me to Rhode Island. Nothing occurred on the route to my destination worthy of remark. When I arrived at the factory I found several thousand friends, raised in North Carolina. I noticed the women and children seemed cheerful, but none of them wore Southern made boots, or Southern made clothes, or are Southern bacon. The dray horses were well kept, but did not eat Southern hay or oats. The owner of the factory, they said, was very rich, and hal made his fortune manufacturing cotton cloth for the New York market. I was hurried through the factory, and came out a bolt ol nice, smooth cloth. I was hurried into a bale of cloth for a New York wholesale house, and as I went out I overheard a conversation ol the mill. He said he was realizing handsome profits from his factory and besides, he wus giving employment to a hundred families, and was one of the largest taxpayers in the State. I then went to New York to the establishment of one of the merchant princes, and was delighted to hear him say to a clerk, "Send this bale to Messrs. Tucker, Raleigh." As I had passed over the route before, it wat not new to me, and I arrived safely in Raleigh in less than a week. By chance I was put on the bottom of a large pile of cloth, and having nothing to do, I entered into a little calcu latlon. It was as follows: I have changed hands often. First, the Raleigh merchant realized his profit and storage. Then the insurance agent. Then the railroads got their freights. Then the steamers got their freight. Then the Baltimore merchant got his storage and commissions, Then the .Northern insurance agent got hla per cent. Then the manufacturer got his proifts. The 2S"ew York wholesale merchant Rot his per cent. Then the railroads and steamers got their return freight, and the insurance man got another per cent. Messrs. Tucker must have a per cent, and? Here a clerk reached down and pulled me out with a jerk, and, lo and behold! my old master, the man who raised me, said he would take me, "that he wanted some 'narrad' homespun," and I was bundled, and am now at my old home, in Wake, expecting shortly to be cut up. CHAPTER II. I believe when Mr. Tucker's clerk broke the thread of my discourse, I was making a calculation. I bad told how the following persons realized profits on me: 1. The Raleigh cotton factor. 2. The railroads and steam lines. 3. The Insurance agents. 4. The Baltimore merchant. 5. The Northern railroads. 8. The Northern Insurance companies. 7. The manufacturer. 8. The wholesale merchant. 9. The railroads on return freight. 10. The insurance men on return risks. 11. The retail dealer. These parties all show a deep interest In me. and I wish to say 1 entertain no unkind feelings toward any of them. Tho profits they realized from me were legitimate and proper. But I feel very kindly for the man who raised me, and when I considered that he paid all these accumulated profits added to the original cost, I did not wonder that he dressed poorly and was hard pressed to support his family. I have travelled around and listened to calculating men talk, and 1 intend to whisper a word to him through the Crescent. What I want to say Is: Hutse your own hogs. Don't buy Western bacon at a high price when cotton is ltablo to be at a low price! Sow an acre or two in clover. It will save corn and enable you to feed your teams, better, and will cost you less than Northern oats and hay. I will enable you to feed your cows better, and they will give more and better milk. Your calves will grow larger and make finer cattle. Raise your own corn and wheat. Don't plant all cotton. If your land is poor, sow peas and Improve it. Save all your barn-yard manure, compost your vegetable mould, and dou't buy worthless fertilizers. Smith & Son have the best 50 cents jersey jackcts you ever saw.
