Mexico's navy is very small, con sisting of five third class cruisers and two destroyers. It has only 1,200 men in its navy.

Feeding Values of Cotton Seed Meal. (Progressive Farmer.) A reader wishes to know the "dif iere nee in the feeding value of a cot ton seed meal containing 5% par cent of ammonia and ono containing 7 \<? per cent of ammonia " In the first place no cotton seed meal-correctly named-contains aB little as 5*/6 per cont of ammonia. When the content of ammonia ls that low lt ls not correct to call it "cotton seed meal." It is a mixture of meal and some other material, probably hulls. A meal containing 5 Vi per cent of ammonia (or 4.52 per cent of nitro gen) contains 28.31 per cent of pro tein, and a meal containing 7% per cent, of ammonia (6.18 per cent of nitrogen) contains 38.6J per cent of protein. If a meal containing 38.62 l>or cent of protein sells for $30 a ton, then a so-called meal, or a mix ture of meal and hulls, containing 28.31 per cent of protein, should not sell for over $22 to $23 a ton. In some States such a mixture could not ho sold as "meal," bul would have to be so'd as a cotton seed meal feed, or something similar. Even a meal containing 7.5 per cent of ammonia, or 6.1 s per cent of ni trogen, or 3S.62 per cont o' protein is really a low-grade meal, although not generally so classed by law. As a matter of fact, however, enough hulls can be pul In *.o serve every purpose demanded for efficient ex traction of the oil, and still make a meal containing al least IO per cent of protein, and when meal contains less than JO per cent cf protein lt should be bought at a less price, for it has more hulls in it than Is neces sary.
