MOST POPULAR FOOD STUFJT#09
CATTLE.
Pointers That Arc of Vital Interest to (M
Up-to-date Farmer. Money In Dairying.
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

and Cotton Oil" by P. A. Tompkins.
