V-. VOLXVII. BARNWELL COURT HOUSE, S. C„ JANUARY 25,1894. NO. 21. Sir: Your letter asking for my experience with the use of cotton seed meal and-totton seed hulls as a cattje food, came duly to hand. There is no food that is as effective and cheap as these two are. My mode of using them is as follows, viz: Begin with three or four pounds of the meaLlcr an average steer, increasing gradually \to six pounds per dny, after six weeks give eight to ten pounds, if vyou please. Give the animal at first a peck of hulls moistened with salt and water, and the inea] sprinkled over it; repeat this three times a day; increase gradually the^mount of hulls,'but never give more than the animal will eat up; if given in excess the hot hulls and meal be come offensive when allowed to stand in the trough. When an animal scours, separate him from the herd and feed oa dry hay; the dung should be firm and rather solid. The feeding should last three or four^months; then sell the cattle, otherwise they degenerate, especially on the approach of warm weather. -*i»- VT i-Ur f 1 Company Read and Remember. For milch cows give two ©r- three pecks of hulls, four quarts oi wheat bran, two quarts of corn meal; these may be varied as seen fit. Milk and butter will be free from all objectionable qualities.' 1 ** The manure from cattle so fed is very rich, containing about one half the amount of cotton seed hulls and meal consumed by the cow’—about equal to good horse manure. A complete food for dairy cows is given as follows, viz: Corn ensilage, five pounds; cotton seed hulls, eight pounds; wheat bran, five pounds; cotton seed meal, three pounds per day. The alburai- nods in this are 2.4(0; custohydrades .12.50; fats 0.60. The cost of ration per day for beef at this point has oeen from 7 to 10 cents. All beef cattle should be kept in stalls; if not under a shed, with a small lot attached, as the less exer cise Ifie steer takes, the more •rapidly he fettens. As per your request, I will give you my experience on feeding cotton seed hulls and meal to wdrk oxen. I work about ten yoke of oxen constantly, and for theiast three years have fed them almost ex clusively on the hulls for their forage. It does not cost delivered at my depot, freight paid, more than one-tnird of the price of good hay and it is. fully as valuable as good hay pound for pound. Last year I fed fifty or sixty tons and would not be without it for a heavy consideration. The meal is worth at least fifty per cent, more than fine feed or corn meal to be fed with the hulls. Yours truly, J. NEWTON FOWLES. -vf- Yours, etc. B. W. TAYLOR, M.D. BHI Arp and the Barnwell Oil CompahYtalk Well. ■ Jm&hm CHARLESTON, S. C. Gentlemen: Replying to *your favor of the 24th inst. I beg to say that for four or five years past I have kept five or six cows in the city for selling milk, and during that time have fed them partly with cotton seed hulls whenever I could get them. When I have been unable to procure the hulls or have neglected to renew the supply, .when exhausted, the yield of milk has invariably fallen off so preceptibly both as to quantity and quality, that I have been forced to .the conclusion that I cannot afford to do without them. I have not found that cow peas were a satisfactory substitute, although of course, they make a fine combina tion with the hulls. . My animals are very carefully attended to, and the details closely watched by myself, so Ahat I can speak with confidence as to the re suit of my observations . — ‘" ' - Yours truly, A. MIDDLETON. Farmington, White Oak P. O. S. C. Sir: I have used to a limited exu. tent cotton seed hulls as feed for dairy (Rattle for two winters. Being in convenient shape for mixing with gloomed food it was substi tuted for hay in our mi^cd ration, which was during our first seasons’s trial of it; eight pounds of cotton seed hulls, one pound each of wheat bran, com meal, and cotton seed meal, and about twenty pounds ensilage. Last winter bran and com meal were dropped om the ration and it wm ten pounds cotton seed hulls, th.ee pounds cotton seed meal and about twenty pounds en silage. Results' in dairy products as well as in condition of cattle was en tirely satisfactojy; were equal to those from the use of any hay ex cept fimt-class pea vine clover. I am inclined to the opinion that cotton seed hulls properly used will, prove as valuable tor dairy as for beef cattle. Ayershires and Guernseys were the cattle experi-* mented with. Yours truly, ' JNO. BRATTON. T Company A Merciful Man is Men * clful to Ws Beast SUMMERVILLE, S. C. Dear Sirs: Yours of the 24th re ceived. j • _ I will gladly give the benefit of my experience with cotton seed hulls during the past two winters. My milch cows were poor when I began feeding on cotton seed meal and hulls. They soon showed a marked improvement in flesh and flow of milk. I milked eleven last season. I gave a peck morning and evening of a mixture of one quart cotton seed meal to eight quarts hulls. Adding to the above two quarts rice flour or four quarts bran and giving the same number of pecks a day made very little ad ditional flow of milk. Cotton seed meal and hulls gave better results than meal alone, even when given a little in excess. The calves, that were also poor, were fed on hulls, meal and rice ffour, improved rapidly. The cows eat the hulls heavily, even when not mixed with meal. I would rather have hulls to mix with grain for cows than hay and consider it as good in Itself. Yours truly, JOHN GADSDEN, Jr. You can feed a cow on cotton seed hulls and meal for ten cents per day. This is three dollars per month. Say you only get ten quarts of milk p^r day at seven cents per quart; you have seventy cents per day, or twenty-one dol lars per month, less three dollars for {eed and you have made eigh teen dollars per month So get a cow; buy hulls and cottonseed meal and save-money.

Thg-offering of a 5 per cent., 10 years’ at a price limit which would keep tbs'return to the Investor within 8 per cent, wffi regarded as a somewhat unusual operation. The facts leading to that course seem to have been that tee Government has no existing legal au thority for issuing any other available form ot obligation; whilst, with the existing divisions of opinion -in Con gress on question* of finance and cur- retry, the Administration deemed it wholly uncertain as to what sort of au thorisation it might get from .that body, or whether it could get any authorial tion whatever, or whether Gangrene would reach a conclusion within the period required by the extreme exigen cies that now era barm*# the Treasury. Under these circumstances, tee Admin- Iteration appears to have felt Itself driven to use an old authorisation grant ed under other circumstances, but which peihaps be fairly construed legalizing the Recretary’e proposals.

Taken Jn connection with the repeal of the Sher man act, these assurances amount to a peculiarly strong reinforcement of con fidence. For the stoppage of stiver pur- riraees means that the silver hitherto diverted to domestic currency uses will hereafter go into our exports, with the effect of correspondingly dlminiteing the occasion for exporting gold. With an increase of the home production of gold, op the one hand, and of a diminution of its export, on the other, it is dear teat the United States is destined to Increase its future state of this metnl. whatever may ha the experience of ether coan- There am tease who entertain some apprehension that the marketing of tela 50000,000 of new eecoritlee may inter fere with tea tale of other i now seeking bayers.
