\ I I j . TUB VALVIS OE COTTON SEED. How lt may be TJtUlMdon the Planta? tion-Its Nutritive Valne aa Food for Cattle-Fertilising tonalities-Hod? of Preparation, di*. E2S2w^ There is probably no article which has re? ceived less attention at the hands of our Southern planters than cotton seed; and yet there ls no article produced in such abundance that can bc turned to so many practical good uses. Tho product is large, fully averaging two-thirds in weight of the whole cotton crop; but until quite recently the full value of this article had not boon appreciated. Considered as food for cattle, as fertilizer, or tor making oil, thc cotton seed has been proved to oe of inestimable value, in a rela tlve rank as either of the commodities abov mentioned, it compares most lavorably, and exceeds in \ allie any other substitute which we can tod. According to the experiments of Lawes, the distinguished English agriculturist, the manure derived from stock vanes Immensely in value according to thc nature of the food on which tba stock is fed. Thc manure of stock fed on cotton seed stands first on his list, being moro than thirty times as valuable as tho manure from an equal weight of turnips, and four times more valuable than the manure derived irom an equal weight of Indian corn. The following is Mr. Lawes1 table showing the actual g">ld value of the manure derived from one t: i (2000 pounds) of different foods Cotton seed, (hulled.) $27 86; rape seed cake $21 Ol; linseed cake, $19 72; malt dust, $18 21 lentils, $16 51; linseed, $15 65; tares, $15 75 beans, $15 75; peas, $13 38; locust beans, $4 81 oats, $4 70; wheat, $7 08; Indian corn, $6 65 malt. $6 66; barley, $6 32; clover hay, $9 C4 meadow hay, $6 43; oat straw, S2 90; wheat straw, $2 68; barley straw, $2 25; potatoes $1 SO; mangolds, $1 07; Swedish turnips, 91 oents; common tm nips, 86 cents; carrots, ?6 cents. These actual values are,of course,corrcct only for England; but the relative values are of uni vernal application, and for this reason this table deserves to be studied by every farmer The relative values seem to be closely con nee ted witn the amouut ol nitrogenous matter contained in the food. Now when we consider that immense quanti ties of cotton seed are wasted throughout th? South year after year, we believe lt is time foi the planters to open their eyes to this valuable commodity, and utilize it either as food for their cattle, manure for their soil, or even for exportation, if the circumstances arc such as will not permlt of its use at home; but wc would also suggest that it is on the plantation itself that it is most profitable, as its qualities for lecding. and, as manure, we conceive will bc more valuable to the planter than to any -one else. Many persons suppose that cotton seed with the bull ls most valuable as manure; but this is not so. Late researches demon? strate that the.oil contained ia the kernel re? tards the decomposition of the seed, and con? sequently prevents the liberation of the phos? phates which are contained in the hull, Just as the physicians inform ns that the phosphates -ia the grain of wheat are contained in its hull. It, therefore, iollows Hist to fertilize properly, and to the greatest advantage, thc cotton seed hulls only are to be used. The following is on analysis (which will be found interesting on the subject) by Dr. Wayne, of Cincinnati: VALVE OP HULLED COTTON SEBD COMPARED WITH THAT OP CORN AND LINSEED (OR OIL CASE) AS A FOOg ron CATTLE, *:, The vast amouut Of cotton seed annually pro? duced in the South has not met the attention as to its Importance as food lor cattle that its vulue for the purpose merits, being, as it is, a second? ary or incidental product. lt has been in a great measure overlooked, and the staple (cotton) the only product of the cotton plant that bas been taken to account. And thus a vast amount of valuable fodder has for years been thrown away, partly from a want of knowledge as to its adap? tation as food, and from thc want of proper ma? chinery for the hulling of lt so as to render lt Ht for use. , As to Ita value for the purpose named, there ls no more conclusive way of showing or proviug the fact above mentioned, than by presenting au an <lysis of the three substances (corn, oil-cake and cotton seed.) and comparing the results and facts to be deduced from 'hem. The anaiy-i t of corn ls as follows: Water. 15.0 Gluten. ll.o Starch. 69.0 Sugar. i.o Gora. 113 Pkt.... 0.0 Fibre. 6.0 Mineral matters. 2.0 lOO.Ou Which, economically considered, gives its value as food as follows: Water. 16.0 Flesh roi mers. 11.0 Fat formers....'.. 66.7 Accessories. 5.03 The analysis of Unseed, or oil cakes: Water.10.07 Mncilage.36.26 Albnmen and gluten.22.36 Oil......;. 12.38 Musk.... 12.60 Mineral matten?. 6.26 Which economically gives Water. 10.07 Flenh formers.:.22.26 Fat former*... 48.63 Accessories..12.80 Mineral matter. e.25 analysis ls of hulled cotton 6eed <J*'ater6s'i:.;.i;..,.....i...wi.,.i.,. 6.14 Oil.37.00 Albumen.33.67 Cum. 0.11 Fibre.v..... 7.18 Mineral mat ten.~. 7.02 100.00 Which economlcoliy gives Water . 6.U Flesh forme ?.33.0 Fat formers.46.11 Accessories. 7.16 Mineral mut en>. 7.02 From the abve analysis it ls shown that cotton seed ls a highly concent rat ed rood, and is riche In flesh-producing elements than either com or cake meal, but somewhat luferior to corn as a fat producer, but as a fat producer is fully equal lo linseed oake. The large amount or oil In the col ton Bced must make lt a valuable food for winter use; and lu the usc of lt one point should not be overlooked, and that ls, overfeeding with euch rici) and ooncentrale<: food. It should be given in proper proprrr?rrs with coarse fodder, and thus used, 1 can see no reason why it may not be used to thc exclusion of corn, and thus Have and utilize what bas been, up to the present, as lt were, a wa>te product, or one regarded us or little or no value, except for thc purpose of oil manu facture. I would fnrthor say that thc foregoing report ls .based upon the hulled cotton seed, und will not hold good for the uubulled seed, nor for thc cake of the nnhuiied seed, the husks of which become impacted In the intestines of the animals fud with it, causing inflammation and death, and ls consequently, unlit for food. E. S. WAYNE. One ol thc principal drawbacks has probably been the want of suitable machinery tor thc preparation of the seed as food, but wc appro -fiend that this was supplied by the invention of Shaw's cotton seed huller mode by the Dia mond Mill Manufacturing Company ofClncin natl, which has been lately r?tented and intro? duced to the South. Froii? what we under? stand of the operations of this machine, it is ?well adapted for the work for which it is de? signed. It is claimed that it will hull and -clean from fifteen to eighteen bushels cotton seed per hour. It may be driven by steam or horse power, and we believe its cost is trilling; j '?? certainly very small compared with tho gains I I to the planter. If this machine bo all that it ls represented to be, we know of no excuse that any planter can put forward for tho great waste witnessed in the neglect to render cot ton seed as valuable at home as the more im? portant staple of cotton is rendered abroad. The one should not receive all caro, while the other, which ls highly valuable, should be en? tirely neglected. Messrs. Brodie & Co., lac tors. North Atlantic wharf, are the agents in Charleston for thc cotton seed huller. MATTERS IN GEORGIA. The Newnan, Ga, Herald says tho farmers of that section Hay that wheat never looked bet? ter at this time of thc year. In many In? stances, lt has "bunched," and covered the gio tad entirely. The '-Cotton States Mechanics and Agricul? tural Association," at Augusta, has appropri ted ten thousand dollars for premiums at their fair next faM. Twenty thousand dollars, in all, have been subscribed. In Mnscogee, (Ja, Superior Court, last week. Judge Johnson decided that "if the chief en? gineer of thc fire department or thc mavor of thc city directed thc house pulled down, to prevent the spread of the firo, and it was so pulled down, tho city is liable fur all the damages scenting to the owners from such Eniling down, and which would not otherwise ave been sustained; that ls, if a houso ls pulled down tor the public good, the public must remunerate the owner." The Louisiana .senate has passed a Joint resolu? tion n-qmnug thc late auditor. Wickliffe, to de? liver to his successor half a million of abstracted coupons; the Joint resolution authorizing the Oovemor and Treasurer to issue bonds for loans passed; also the bin incorporating the Mississippi JaUey Kail road; the bu enforcing tue Louisville Convention plau for the levees.
