COTTON SEED MEAL IS
VERY BEST FEED STUFF
#
Says a New Publication of Department
of Agriculture
X I- -
j usx issued.
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

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.

discovered that borax sprinkled on
manure, floors of stables, toilets, garbage
and other places where flies
lay their eggs will prevent their
hatching and yet, in anything like ordinary
quantities, will not destroy the
value of the manure ?
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. Pour
a few gallons of water over the pile I
to make the maggots work to the!
Glutei1 edge. 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.
Borax costs ten cents a pound re-,1
tail and five or six cents in hunundred
pound lots.

CONCERNING COW
AND HER PRODUCT
News Notes for Farmer and
Dairyman Issue By
Clemson College
(These notes are prepared weekly
by the Dairy Division of Clemson
College which will be glad to answer
any questions pertaining to dairvinir.)
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.

Before Southern Commercial

Handled by Lady.
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." . - ?
