Interesting Statement Concerning By Products of King Cotton. (From New Orleans Planter.) We have received the very practi cal Inquiry: Which Is the most profit able to a farmer, to feed his cotton seed, which he can sell for $12 per ton, to his cows, and savo the man ure, or sell his seed for $12 a ton and pay $32 per ton for meal and $10 per ton for hulls for feed and save the manure. A ton of cotton seed ls estimated to yield the following quantity of products: Meal .7GO pounds Oil . 250 poundB Hulls .978 pounds Linters . 22 pounds If the meal sells for $32 per ton, and the hulls for $10, and we as sume the oil to have a value of $25 a ton for feeding purposes, the feed ing value of a ton of cotton seed should be as follows: 750 pounds of meal at $32 per ton equals.$12 00 1,000 pounds of hulls at $10 per ton equals. 6 00 250 pounds of oil nt $25 per ton equals . 3 75 Total.$20 75 There is always some loss on ac count of dirt and trash in the seed, so that the products would not be quite as much ns stated above. On the other hand, the oil is worth four or live cents a pound io Hie mill. We should Judge from the above that the feeding value of cotton seed should be two-thirds of the value of tho cot ton seed meal. This is also approxi mately its value as found in feeding experiments. The Mississippi Ex periment Station found that cotton seed meal has about the value of corn. Cotton seed is a different hind ol' feed front cotton seed meal, as the cotton seed is nundi richer in oil than the meal, and tho meal contains more protein. In some experiment.-; it has been found profitable to feed meal along willi seed. (!. S. Fraps. Chenils! Texas Eperiment Station. College Slat lon, Texas.

Why thc Quarantine of Tlrk Infested Farms ls Necessary. - Clemson College, Dec. 7.-Editor Keowce Courier: In the twelve north western counties of this State, which are now protected from tick infested areas of this and other States by State and Fedoral regulations, cattle Inspectors have been at work since July 1, making a farm-to-farm can vas and examining cattle. These men have placed in quarantine all tick infested premises, in order to prevent the spread of the cattle tick, which causes Texas or tick fever. While a few infested farms in these counties may have been overlooked, the ma jority of tick infested premises have been located and the cattle quaran tined. This quarantine of infested cattle cannes some inconvenience to the cattle owners, but it is absolutely necessary for cheee premises to be quarantined if they are to be freed from ticks and the counties released from the Federal restrictions, which now prevent the growth of our live stock Industry. UnlesB this quaran tine were established and enforced lt would be Impossible to eradicate the ticks and remove the Federal regulation, as movement of tick-in fested cattle would spread Infesta tion to free farms, and cause not only an enlarged Infested area, but also serious loss among the cattle within this district. In placing these cattle in quaran tine State authoriH>'s endeavored to cause cattle owners as little incon venience ns possible, but the en forcement of the quarantine is abso lutely necessary, and, therefore, quarantined cattle can only bo moved after they have been examined and found free from ticks by an author ized Inspector, and a written permit given for their release. Inspectors are stationed in each county, and should an owner of quarantined cat tle desire to move or dispose of any of these animals, he can apply to that Inspector and obtain necessary per mit, provided his cattle are free from ticks. Cattle owners will find the State authorities willing and ready to grant every request as long as this can be done without danger of spreading ticks to tick-free farms. These officers desire to encourage tho breeding of cattle, and are enforcing this law with that purpose In view. Therefore, the assistance of all citi zens is expected. If any person desires information concerning tick eradication work, or any other phase of stock raising, he can obtain assistance and advice by addressing the State Veterinarian at Clemson College.
