MOST POPULAR POOD STUFF FOR CATTLE. Pointers That Are of Vita! Interest to the Up-to-date Farmer. Money in Dairying. What has cotton to do with dairying? Cotton seed products have become the most popular food stuff for cattle, because of the low price and the most excellent results. They are the natural cattle feed for the cotton region, on account of saving in freight and the easy and convenient access. Strange to say,, the value of these products was not tirst discovered in their native home. It remained for German scientists to point out their great value. German agriculturists are always standing ready to make use of j the discoveries of science, and so they j imported vast quantities of cotton seed j meal from this country and used it for I eattle feed in their dairies years before | our own people woke up to the great possibilities in cotton seed meal as a | feed stuff. Hut It is now very well known that cotton seed meal, in con- I nectlon with cotton seed hulls, make tlie most valuable cattle foods that are j available, especially that offered by 1 the Southern Cotton Oil company of I the Carolinas and Georgia, at any of I their mills or at their headquarters at | Columbia, S. C., Savannah, tJa., At- ' lanta, Ga., or Raleigh, N. C. There is one fact in connection with cattle feeding on cotton seed products that is not generally given the prominence that its importance demands. This is the value of the manure. Most exhaustive experiments have been made, both in this country and in Europe, with a view to finding the i relation between the feed and the resuiting excrement from cattle. A most important and far-reaching con- i elusion has been reached, and it is 1 one which does not admit of any ' doubt. This is that practically all of the nitrogen that is fed to cattle reappears in the excrement: about half 1n the solid and half in the liquid. Nitrogen is the most expensive ingiv- ( dlent in all food stuffs, and In nil for- ( tilizers. Hence this discovery Is a most Important one, -'leading to the 1 rstounding fact that the present commercial value of cotton seed tueal aa a feed stufT is but half Its real value, when properly understood. It means that the full value of the nitrogen in the meal may be utilized in feeding, and then, if sufficient care be taken to 1 save solid and liquid manure the whole I of the nitrogen may be collected and 1 used again as a manure. There is a further value In this. In that the form of the nitrogen in this manure, taken with the other elements, chemical and mechanical, makes the manure a better fertilizer than the original meal. The general statement that procti cany all or ine nitrogen rea 10 came i reappears in the excrement might lead to the conclusion (which would be easily self-contradictory) that nitrogen feeds are of no value to cattle, and that It is In no way assimilated or made uae of by the animal economy. Nothing is more firmly established than that nitrogenous feeds are most important, in producing both beef and butter; but it Is not yet well understood how the animal uses the nttrogen and then excretes It. It may be that the nitrogen from the air is utilized, or It may be that through some transformation In the system the nitrogen does Its work, and is then rejected. There 1s a perfect analogy In the use of nitrogen In making sulphuric acid. It is necessary to supply a certain amount of nitrogen to make the prooetro operative, and yet all of this nitrogen ts either recovered or lost, none of It actually being retained in the sulphuric acid. The cotton plant requires a large amount of nitrogen. And this may he supplied with the manure from dairy rattle, which themselves feed on cotton products, and In the interim, turn out large amounts of valuable milk cream and butter. Then dairying on the cotton farm becomes a logical occupation. There are now many cotton seed ?AJ mill* of the Southern Cotton Oil Co. ao widely scattered that It Is easy for any cotton farmer to trade his cotton seed for meal and hulls, and thus provide himself with valuable feed stuffs for dairy or beef cattle, and incidentally procure the very best fertilizer that is knpwn?the manure from cattle maintained on nitrogenous feeds. Aside from all considerations of manurial value, the relative feed value of cotton need meal and hulls is shown below.
