C. Cotton Seed Meal and Hulls for Horses and Mules. Cotton seed meal as used for all kinds of cattle, ho^s, sheep, and stoats, is already so well established as to need no com ment. But it is not so well known that cotton seed meal is equally valuable as a food for horses and mules. The eminent Dr. Tait Butler, of the North Carolina Experimental Station, a recognized authority on animal feeding, says in speaking ot a proper ration for work horses and mules, “I wou.d rather have two pounds of cotton seed meal than four pounds of corn; I would rather have two pounds of cotton seed meal than four pounds cf oats. Corn is a good horse feed, but we are wasting two million dollars per year in North Carolina in feeding an all corn ration.” c Hon. H. C. Hammond, of Augusta, Ga., the distinguished breeder of fine horses, says, “Cotton seed meal makes the dry ration of the horse go down, and what is more important, go through; so I have come to the belief that aside from its won derful nutritive value, cotton seed meal, with the aid it gives to the peristaltic movement in the horse, is worth its cost many times over.” FOR SALE AT THE .news to at'least some of your many readers to know that I am tenting ■ a while in the city of “Brotherly love.” (Philadelphia, Pa.,) The oc casion that brought me here is the Baptist World Congress.
