Cotton Seed Meal and Hulls can be fed profit
ably to cows. This is thc reason :
1st. Nothing will fatten so fast as Meal and
Hulls with some roughness along.
2d. Cattle arc cheap now, but will be high next
spring. Therefore good difference to buy and sell on,
3d. One ton of cow manure contains about
$7.50 worth of Potash, and every farmer should make
all he can and put it in the drill instead of broadcasting,

afford to feed high-priced Meal and Hulls in order to
