SAID TO BE * BETTER THAN CORN Also Recommended as a Winter Ration for the Breeding Herd. * Five times as many farmers as at present should be using cottonseed meal, according to specialists in the I department. It has a slightly great' er feeding value than linseed-oil J. meal and the farmer is therefore recV ommended to secure prices on both and to use the one which happens to be the cheaper at the time. During the past winter cottonseed meal sold1 for $24 to $28 a ton, while linseedoil meal cost about $39 a ton. Under such conditions the feeder using cottonseed meal had a great advantage over the farmer using linseed-bil, meal. ^ Cottonseed meal contains from 39 * to 45 per cent protein and is therefore one of the most concentrated feedstuffs upon the market. There j are in fact very few vegetable feeds! which have anything like this percentage of protein. Its value has perhaps been more thoroughly appreciated in Europe than in this country, despite the additional cost of ship4 ping it abroad. During 1913, for example, about 400,000 tons of the meal were exported to Europe. Much of what remained in this country was us< J as fertilizer, so that it has been ear *nated that American cattle were fed ?ess than one-half of the total quantity of meal produced in the country. There is. however, a growing tendency at the present time to use the meal as a supplementary feed. In a new publication of the department, Faremrs' Bulletin 055, "Cotton sede Meal for Feeding Beef Cattle," one pound of cottonseed meal is said to he usually worth as much as two pounds of corn for feeding cattle. There is, however, a distinct limit to f the quantity of the meal that animals can use economically. In the South it was formerly the custom to feed steers very heavily on the by-products of the cottonseed oil mills, 12 to 15 pounds of meal a day being a not infrequent ration. Such heavy feeding frequently caused blindness and death, while in other cases the f steers, after gaining fast in weight for a period of 90 days or more, lost flesh with equal rapidity and could be ^with difficulty got back into good coni dition. Experiments have shown howR\s?ver, that when the ration is kept be^' 'tL'W 7 pounds a day/steers can be fed 100 to 120 days upon it without i * *'cMving ill effects. If silage is giv^ $ the same time, as roughage, the f-?n.T ng 0f cottonseed meal can be V *aW\ki beyond this time with safety \ is a better roughage to use with meal than cottonseed hulls, as (Continued on Page Eight.)

F % TIME FOR WAR ON POTATO BUG Clemson College Entomologist Tells How to use Poison Against Pest s Clemson College, May 11.?That common pest, the potato bug, is now requiring attention in South Carolina potato fields and vegetable gardens, according to A. F. Conradi, entomologist of Clemson College. For the sake of the state's spuds, he dc scribes methods of waging war upon the bug. "There are two forms of poison used for killing the potato bug;" says Prof. Conradi. "The best is arsenate of lead. Paris green is also extensively used. Arsenate" of lead is purchased in two forms, paste and powder. The powder is recommended for the reason that it is more easily handled, cannot freeze and cannot dry up. For large areas this powder is used at the rate of 1 lb. to 50 gallons of water. In making up arsenate of lead or Paris green solutions always stir the poison with a little water to the thickness of white wash before it is added to the bulk of water. Paris green is made up in the same way as arsenate of lead, except that the rate is 1-4 lb. of Paris green to 50 gallons of water." For the small family garden, says the entomologist, arsenate of lead powder is useful at the rate of heaping teaspoonful to a pail of water; Paris green should not be sprayed on the plants without the addition of a little whitewash t ^ the cnniv Thic can he accomplished by slacking a lump of quick lime with a little warm water and adding it to the pail of spray. Arsenate of lead powder or Paris green may be dusted. For the family garden it can be dusted through a muslin or cheese cloth sack or through an old tomato can with a number of small holes punched in the bottom. The best time to dust in this way is in the morning when dew is on, because then it sticks better. Arsenate of lead may be dusted alone without injury and for young tomatoes should be dusted at the rate of about 1 to 2 lbs. to the acre. If one seems to be using too much of it and has trouble, it can be mixed one-half its weight with air-slacked lime and dusted liberally. To dust Paris green, add a teaspoonful of Paris green to a quart of air-slacked lime and mix thoroughly and then dust on plants in the morn ing wnnc the clew is yet on them. Where one desires to spray the powder, any kind of spray pump with a fine nozzle is satisfactory. Some people apply the spray by means of a whisk: broom and still others with pine brush tied together. Although crude and somewhat wasteful, this serves the purpose in the small family garden. o A Sluggish Liver Needs Attention Let your Liver get torpid and you are in for a spell of misery.

In the experiments a little over half a pound of borax was scattered i on eight bushels of manure and it killed the maggots and prevented the flies from developing. If you decide to use borax around your premises scatter it through a fine sifter around the edge of the pile where the flies congregate.

Do not use more than a teaspoon of borax to the contents of the ordinary sized garbage pail if the swill is to be fed to the hogs, as borax, alum and such things in any quantity are known to be disturbing to the digestion.

Every farm in this state having ten or more cows should have a silo. The use of covered pails for milking means cleaner milk. No animal that gets only feed enough to support life can't produce a profit. Thorough milking tends to develop a cow's udder and increase her milk capacity. Giving cows a good dry feed before turning them on a rank growing forage crop does away with danger of bloat. Grain and feed marketed through the butter mold and the cream can will generally bring top prices, no I matter how the market may be for young grain and feed. When a farmer makes and sells butter and feeds the skim milk to poultry, pigs and calves, he is not sending away a great deal of his farm's fertility. Keep the farm's fertility on the farm. It is hard to churn cream at too low a temperature. Keep it cool after separating it, until some time before churning. Then expose it to an ordinary room temperature, about 70 degrees, until it sours. Constant care is one of the secrets of success in the breeding or feeding of stock of all kinds. It is only the man who likes work of this kind who will make any real success in it. The time to stop churning has much to do with making good butter. To keep on until the butter is is big lumps makes it waxy and greasy. The time to stop churning is when the grains of butter are about as large as wheat kernels. A dairyman who gives his cows simply a maintenance ration can expect no profits. If it takes all the feed to keep the cow alive and moving. there will be no feed left with which to maintain milk in profitable quantities. Some farmers would be better off if they sold their cows and bought milk and butter. 'Yet they do not realize that they are losing real money on every "boarder" in their herds. Test each cow. o CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED By LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

Muskogee, Okla.?Cities of the United States must throw off the shackles of 'ring politics, antiquated assessment systems, haphazard budgets, employment of the untrained and extravagency," before real municipal efficiency can be realized, according to Dr. Oscar Dowling, presi dent of tlie Louisiana board of health, and president of the Southern Medical Association, who Slinlrn hrfnvn thr? Southern Commercial Congress here. I)r. Dowling spoke on "Municipal Efficiency in Relation to the Health Program" and asserted that there is not one municipality in the United States, where sanitation and the health program is comprehensive as it should be. Several commercial secretaries discussed problems involved in municipal efficiency. A. V. Snell, of Charleston, S. C., pointed out that "the South must stop shipping its raw materials to foreign nations and to the North, and must learn to produce finished products through co-operation." "The South should manufacture its raw materials in the factories of the South and sell the finished products in the markets of the South," he said. "This can be accomplished by the business men of every community combining and establishing small factories that will finish the product of the surrounding district. Such cooperation between the farmer and the city man would eliminate an enormous annual loss to the South." Carl J. Barr, of Little Rock, Ark., said that a great step toward municipal efficiency is a thoroughly organized, thoroughly equipped commercial body. The kitchen should not be made a place 01 drudgery, but an interesting laboratory for household experiments, according to Mrs. George C. Lewis, in an address before the opening session of the woman's auxiliary of the Congress. Mrs Lewis, who is vice president of the Woman's Auxiliary, asserted that all possible housework should be made easier by machinery, thus "relieving the dull monotony of work that often drives country folks to the cities." . - ?
