Keitt, of the Experiment Staff, to prepare the following letter which will be of special interest to the farmers. A question of some concern to the' farmer at this season of the year is what disposition shall be made of his | cotton seed. They can be either rolled in acid phosphate, crushed, or composted to prevent sprouting and applied directly as a fertilizer; they can be exchrnged for cotton seed meal; they can be sold and the farmer may or may not reinvest iD fertilizers. The question | to be decided is which is most profitable ? The fertilizing value of a ton of cotton seed, using present relative commercial values is $li.l8. When | this ton of seed is manufactured the products and fertilizer values will be i approximately as follows: Cotton I seed oil 250 lbs,, no fertilizer value; cotton seed hulls, 978 lbs", 1.12 fertilizer value; 22 lbs., 0.03 fertilizer value. There would be some additional agricultural value in the furnishing of organic matter for decay, but this is not large when we consider that 15 bushels would furnish less than a good i peavine stubble. We note from the figures given that most of the fertilizing elements are contained in the portion that goes to make up the meal. The present selling price is $17.00 per ton and the rate of exchange is about 1,400 lbs. of meal per ton. The value of this meal reckoning it as , 2-7-1 Yi is $16.36, but it must be rej membered that these relative comtner j rial values are net made up to repreI sent retail prices, but to show values ! which are relative amons; themselves. Taking the selling price of meal as $25.00 per ton, then, 1,400 lbs. would cost $17.50. If the swap is made some of the seed should be sold out-right to j purchase acid phosphate and potash to I mix with meal ana make a balanced | fertilizer or else these materials should I be bought and mixed with the meal. | For information relative to mixing ! fertilizers at home ,write for Bulletin | 151 of the S. C. Expt. Station. 1 1 * Saved His Wife's Life. - "itfy wife would have been in her grave today," writes O. H. Brown, of Muscadine, Ala., "if it had not been for Dr. King's New Discovery.

I got her a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery, and she soon began to mend, and was well in a short time."
