What haa cotton to ?lo witl? dairying? Cotton seed pioducts havo become tho most popular food stuff for. cuttle, bocauso of tho low prico and! tho most excellent results. They arts the natural cattlo foCd for tho cotton: region, on account of saving in freight and tho easy and convenient access. Strange to say, tho value of theso products was not first discovered In their, native home. It remained for Herman scientists to point out thci* great value. German agriculturists aro always standing ready to inako uso of the discoveries of science, and so they imported vast quantities of cotton seedmeal from this country atul used It for cattlo feed in their dairies years beforo our own people vroko up to tho great possibilities in cotton seed meal as n. feed stuff. But it is now very well, known that cotton seed meal, iii con-, nectlon with cotton seed hulls, mako the most valuable cattlo foods that aro available, especially that offered by uie soutnern uotton uu company on the Oarollnas and Georgia, at any of their mills or at their headquarters at Columbia, C., Savannah, Ga., Atlanta, Ga., or Ifcilelgli, Is*. < \ There is one fas t it* connection with rattle feeding: on cotton seed productsthat is not generally given lho prominence that its importance demands.' This is the value of the manure. Most exhaustive experiments liave been made, both in this country and in! Europe, with a view to finding the relation between tho feed and tho resulting excrement from cattle. A most important and far-reaching conclusion has been reached, and it Is one which does not admit of any. doubt. This is that practically <il| of the nitrogen that Is fed to cattlo reappears iiv tho excrement:* about half in the solid and half in tho liquid. Nitrogen is the most cxpenslvo Ingredient in all food stuffs, and in alt fertilizers. Honco this discovery 13 a* most Important on<\ leading to the astounding fact that the present commercial value of cotton seed meal asa' feed stuff is but half its rent value, when properly understood. It means that the full value of tb?? nitfogen in the meal may be utilized in feeding, and then, if sutlieient cane bo taken tot save solid and liquid manure the whole? of the nitrogen may bo collected and" used again us a manure. There is tv further value in this, in that tho form of the nitrogen in this manure, taken with the other elements, chemical and mechanical, makes the manure a better fertilizer than the original meal. ? The general statement that practically all of the nitrogen fed to cattlo reappears in the excrement might lead to the conclusion (which would ho easily self-contradictory) that nitrogen feeds are of no value to cattle, and that it is in no way assimilated or mado uso of by the animal economy. Nothing is more firmly established than that nitrogenous feeds are most important, in producing both beef and butter; but it. is not yet well understood how tho animal uses the-nitrogen anil then or-' cretes it. It may be that the nitrogen! from the air is utilized, or it may but that through some transformation inl the system tho nitrogen does its work, and is then rejected. ?-' There is a perfect analogy In tho Dsn of nitrogen in making sulphuric acid. It is necessary to supply a certain: amount of nitrogen to malce tho process operative, and yt all of this nitrogen 1st either recovered or lost, nouo of it' actually being retained in the Sulphuritf acid. The cotton plant requires a largo amount of nitrogen, and this may bo. supplied with the manure from dairy* cattle, which themselves feed on cotton! products, and in the interim, turn oub large amounts of valuablo mill? cream, and butter. Then dairying on the cotton farm becomes a logical occupation. There are now many cotton seed oit mills of the Southern Cotton Oil Co. so1 widely scattered that it is easy for any cotton farmer to trade his cotton seecs f<\r meal and hulls, and thus providd himself with valuable food stuffs for* dairy or beef cattle, and incidentally, procure tho very best fertilizer that is known?the manure from cattlo maintained on nitrogenous feeds. Aside from all considerations of manorial value, tho relative feed value oC cotton seel meal an l hulls is shownt below, in connection with relative vaiuo of other feed stuffs in the following; extract from a table In tho book "Cotton and Cotton Oil" by P.
