FEED VALUE OF COTTON SEED.
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.

AH TO TICK ERADICATION.
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.
