The meal has tho advantage of being more concentrated nnd therefore move easily handled, while at the same time it is more prompt in its action than c tt :u seed. The difference between the two forms it mainly in their physical condition : 1 he oil, which is of no value as a fertilizer, and the hulls, which arc but lit * le value its a fertilizer, lmvc been removed m mak ng the meal. Due ton of whole see 1 w ll yield about. 700 pounds of meal and the fertilizer value of the 700 pounds of men! is very yearly if not <[uitc equal to that of the ton of whole seel. W'hrve very convenieit. to a cotton secil oil mill it is generally cheaper t ? use the meal as a ferlid/.* r than the whole seed. When seed are worth fifteen cents a bushel, on the form, you can well afford to sell them and buy in en I at twenty-four dollars per ton?/f/id or. I'sc according to the qunni'y you can coirtiuniid, one hundred pounds of meal being about the equivalent of ten bushels of seed.
