MINING AND MKTALLURdY.
A Measure Before CongreHH That
Will Benefit CleniSOU Col
lege.
The Washington correspondent of
the News and Courier gives the fol
lowing information in regard to a bill
introduced by Gen. Groavenor, of Ohio,
which will likely pass Congress at this
session :
The House committee on mines and
mining has juat taken action calculated
to place the study of miuingand metal
lurgy ou the Baiue footing with agricul
ture in thoao iuatitutes in the various
States and Territories which receivo
eoverument aid.
Tho committee has, by a unanimous
vole, reported favorably a bill intro
duced some timo ago by Gen. Groave
nor, of Ohio. This bill provides that
there shall bo annually appropriated
from tho monoy arising from the sale
of public lands certain sums to bo used
for the establishment and maintenance
of schools or departments on mines and
mil,'n , in connection with the colleges
for the beneilt of agriculture and me
chanic nrts. The bill sets forth that
there shall be paid to each Stato for
this purpose the sum of ^fl0,000 for
the year ending Juno .10, 1002 ; with
annual increase of the amount of such
appifiliation thereafter for ten years
by an additional sum of SI ,000 over
the precediug year, tho annual amount
to bo paid thereafter to each Stato and
Territory to bo #20,000.
CoDgro88tiian Tato f the IHh dis
trict of Georgia, who .0 a member of
the committee on mines and mining,
took an active part iu shaping the bill
and as a result of his special activity
was paid by the committee tho hand
some complimont of being requested to
make the report to tho House. Tins
is a very unusual compliment to bo ac
corded a member of the minority. Mr.
Tale, howover, expressed it as his bc
liof that while thoro is no politics what
soever in the bill, it would bo better to
have the report come from a mcmbor
of tho majority, and at his suggestion
it was made by Mr. Scott, of Kansas.
Mr. Scott points out in his report
that the principle upon which the bill
proceeds is one which has long been
? 'tablishcd in our legislation, Congress
having in 1802 committed itself to tho
policy of extending Federal aid in tho
way of grants of public land to several
States for educational purposes. The
purposes of the bill now pending are
dhcctiy in line with the policy here
tofore pursued. While tho net of 18(52
made no direct reference to the great
mining industry of tho country and
carried uo provision for research look
ing to its development, the pending
measure is intended to provide for this
de?ciency. The policy ursucd by the
framers of this bill is to strengthen
the iustitutions before establish* d and
previously equipped for the work in
stead of trying to build up new institu
tions.
Mr. Scott points to the great success
of the agricultural colleges anil ex
pressed the opiuion that this Grosvcnor
bill will do for the mining interests of
the country what has been so well done
under tho original act for our agricul
tural interests. 14 It is a matter of com
mon knowledge," said ho, " that, not
withstanding tho great value of our
mineral product, amounting in tho year
of 1000 to the stupendous aggregate of
$1,070,108,888, there is an enormous
waste in the present process of exiract
iug both precious and common miner
als. There can bo no doubt that scientific
research, investigation and experiment
will eventually develop methods and
processes by which a large part of this
wasto can be avoided and tho aggre
gate wealth of the nation thereby vastly
increased." He considers it a well
recogni/.ed iact that the scienco and
art of agriculture have been revolu
tionized through "the agency of the
agricultural experiment stations, and
expresses the belief that it is the right
ami duty of the Federal government to
extoud aid toward the development of
our untold mineral wealth as well a
toward agriculture.
Tho amount appropriated by this bill
for the forty-eight States and Territor
ies for the ?rat year is $480,000 and at
the end of ten years will bo 8000,000
annually. It this expenditure should
lesult in increasing by only one-tenth
of 1 per cent our annual mineral pro
duct the country would, in the opinion
of tho committee, be more than rcpnid
m the direct increase of intelligence
and skill; for it is argued that every
dollar of mineral wealth wrested from
the soil is new wealth, which goes into
general use, permanently increasing
the volume of metallic circulation and
contributing ready mntcrial for tho
arts, the sciences and the conveniences
of civilized life.
The bill provides that this appropria
tion shall be expended only for in
struction, research and experiment in
mining, mining machinery, mining
engineering, mine exploitation, metal
lurgy, chemistry, geology, fcreetry,
agricultural engineering and road
making, irrigation and irrigation en
gineering and branches of learning per
taining to said subjects.
The bill provides at length for the
administration of the fund. Tho dis?
bursement is made to tho diffeient
Stales and Territories in the same way
it is now made for the benefit of land
grant colleges. In any State or Terri
tory where a school of mining has
heretofore been established by specific
Act of Legislature and is a soparate
institution from the college for the
benefit of agriculture and mechanic
arts, one-half of the sums to be ap
propriated shall be paid to such school
of mines and the ? Hier half to the col
lege for the benefit of agriculture and
mechanic arts, hut in ui 7 State where no
such separate school of mines has been
established, but where there is a State
university maintained in whole or in
part by income from grants or conces
sions of public lands by the United
States, or supported by the State and
under the concluslvo control of the
Legislature thereof, and which has
during the past academic year main
tained in actual operation a distinctive
school or department of mines m a
branch of said university, one-half of
the appropriation shall be paid to sich
State university for the exclusive use
Of its mining school or department and
ihe other half to the college for the
benefit of agriculture and mechanic
arts: Provided that in any case where
such separate school of mines is under
the same board of control as tho col
lege for the benefit of agriculture and
mechanic aits, such board of control
may divide tho sums hereby appropri
ated between the school of mines and
the college of agriculture and mechanio
artn. no f?r (as in its judgment such
division will more fully carry into
effect the purposes and provisions of
this new AcL
There is a lurther and special pro
viso that" where by special Act Con
gress has authorised tho establishment,
iu conformity with tbo provisions of
the Act of Congress establishing col
leges of agriculture and ' mechanic arts
of an additional collego in any State,
and were such college is located in the
mining or mineral section of such
State, not leso than ono-half of the
I sum hereby appropriated aball be paid
to the college so located." It will be
seen from this provision that the aim
of the bill is to reach colleges which
are iu a position to aid in the dis
semination of knowledge concerning
mining matters. Whero there is now
a branch college so located us to have
especial advantages in this lino it is to
rccoivo the benefit of the appropriation.
Congressman Tato, in commenting'
upon the bill and its provisions, said
*4 Us purposes are evident on the face
of the bill. Wo havo been working on
the dotails for some time, our aim be
ing to get the best possible results for
the monoy appropriated. We believe
that tho measure is ono that will com
mend itself to everybody who in
vestigates it."
LIQUOR AND TUR SCHOOLS.
Larger Contributions to the Gen
eral School Fund From tho
Profit? on SuIch.
Tho State l>oard of control was in
sossion last week, aud tho most impor
tant matter under consideration was
tho act passed at tho recent session of
tho Legislature diroctiug largor pay
ments from tho prollts of tho dispon
! sary to the school fuud.
Tho act shows that tho General As
sembly thinks that the State dispen
sary ought to bo able to do business
with a paid up capital of 400,000, and
if that bo roal profit, Which is so ro
poitcd, and uot on paper, that it will
bo ample for tho business of tho dis
pensary.
According to tho. last guoni] report
the ,,; .??eusary has on band throughout
the State iu tho various dispensaries
stock aggregating $842,153 811, and in
tho State dispensary stock valued at
8305,580 20, and in tho ntinunl report
is the statement that tho State dispen
sary has to tho credit of U:o school
fund $011,354 38. Nothing was paid
, into tho general school fund by the
dispensary during the last year, accord
! nig to tho annual report, and nil of tho
protlt8 made lust year and for some
, tiruo beforo Lavo been put mto the
\ business, as appears from the annual
report.
Now the General Assembly thinks I
that the business ought to be run ou a
eapital of 8100,000, and that tho
balanco reported as duo the public
schools, 8211,354 IM bo paid in cash
before January 1, 1004, and that in
the meanwhile the quarterly prollts
should be paid over to tho public
1 school fund as made hereafter, and that
! no part of the prollt earned fiom now
on should go into tho dispensary busi
ness, and that in two years the 8211,
000 in additiou should be paid into the
public school fund. Last year tho dis
pensary reports a net prollt of 8120,
005.25, and the likelihood is that an
equal aura will bo made and paid into I
tho treasury during the present year.
The intimation has been made that
the dispensary prollls are somewhat on
paper, but when the present year
closes and tho profit aro paid out at
tho close of each quarter it cuu bo
readily seen exactly what the Stale dis
pensary is making in tho way of prciils
and whether these profits aro actual, on
j paper or in unsalable stock.
I The protlts for the last quarter re
ported aro #41,8;W 1(1). The State dis
ponsary does an annual business of
, over two millions of dollars, and tho
contention by tho State board is that
: it will take close rubbing and difficulty
' to run the business upon a cash basis
I and not have over $400,000 worth of
J stock on hand. There are now ovor
one hundred dispensaries in the State,
and tho Stnle board contends that all
of the dispensaries should bo well
stocked.
The State board will have an excel
lent chance to show their business
methods, and to show exactly what tho
dispensary does in n year's time in the
way of making money and at tho samo
timo give the public schools a boon
they very much need.
The act as it passed the General As
sembly is of special interest at this
time and reads as follows:
Section 1. That the directors of the
State dispensary shall pay over to the
State Treasurer by January 1, 1004, in
equal scmi-anuual payments, all of tho
school fund reported by ihcm in excess
of $400,000 for the benellt of the com
mon schools of the State, to be appor
tioned by and paid out on the warrant
of tho Comptroller General as is now
provided by law for tho apportionment
and payment of the dispensary prolits
for the beneiit of said schools; provid
ed, that the ilrst payment shall be
made on the .'10th day of June, 11)02.
Section 2. That from and after the
approval of this Act the directors of
the Stato dispensary shall make a
quarlerly statement for the purpose of
ascertaining the net prolits nccruing to
the State from tho sales made from the
Stato dispensary and shall pay over
the profits so ascertained to the Stale
Treasurer within ton days thereafter

Dr. Plerce's Golden Metltcal Discovery
a cure for dyspepsia and other diseases
of the stomach and organr of digestion

temporary relief, but it effects a radical
cure. It strengthens the stomach, nour
ishes the nerves and purifies the blood.

Many a hard working young woman
spends her noon hour in an endeavor to
get a little rest to carry her through the
remaining hours of tue day. She is
weak ana weary, but she cannot give up
the occupation which supports her. She
must go back to the office and the type
writer, to the store and its duties, w 1th
tiresome customers to wait on and ex
acting employers to please.
For people who are weak and run
down there Is no medicine so valuable as
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
It cures diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestiou and nutrition.
Many diseases in organs remote from the
stomach have their origin in a diseased
condition of the stomach and its allied
organs. When the stomach is "weak"
there is a failure to properly digest and
assimilate the food which is eaten.
Hence the whole body, and each organ
of it, suffers from lack of nutrition, so
that 'as a consequence of "weak" stom
ach, there may be "weak" lung9, "weak"
heart, " weak " or torpid liver, " weak "
nerves, etc. By curing diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition, "Golden Medical Discov
ery" enables the assimilation of the
nutriment necessary for the requirements
of a healthy body. It increases the ac
tivity of the blood-making glands, and
so increases the supply of blood which
is the vital fluid of the body.
There is no alcohol in the w Discovery"
and it is entirely free from opium, co
caine, and all other narcotics.
Sick and ailing ]>eople especially those
suffering from disease in its chrome form
are invited to consult Dr. Tierce by letter
free. All correspondence is held as
strictly private ana sacredly confidential.

Even the least scholarly of us nowa
days aro prone lo quotations, bays the
Baltimore Sun, though we might not
indulge ourselves quite so often if wo
believed a little more thoroughly that a
little learning ? usually misquoted
"knowledge"?is a dangerous thing,
and that it is uot safe to quoto a phrase
unless you aro familiar with the work
in which it occurs.
Take, for instance, "the oven tenor
of their way." Gray never penned such
a phrase hi his "Elegy." What ho wrote
waa the "noiseleBS tenor of their way."
Nathaniel Lee also suffers in "When
Greek meet s Greek then comes the tug
of war." What he wroto was, "When
(irecks joined Greek, then was the tug
of war."
Again how often is "but tho tongue
can no man tame; it is an unruly evil"
(James ill., 8), rendered "the tonguo
is an unruly member."
"Charity shall cover over the multi
tude of sins" (l Toter iv., 8) is usually
distorted into "charily covereth a mul

Pope, iu Satiro II., wrote "speed tho

Tho champion case of nonsense put
forward as sense, however, is probably
tho crime which is continually being
committed against Puller's "Iludibras"
"A man convinced against bis will will
hold tho same opinion still." Of course
what Butler wrote was, "He that com
plies against his will is of his own
opinion still"?a slight diffcronco iu
sense as well as words, euroly.
A passage on morcv from Shakes

whoreas tho words writ by tho bard
are "dropped as the gontle raiu."
Again the "Itomco and Juliet" "that

TUB LOSS KS IN THIS WAR.
Tho Greenville Mountaineer, March 8,1002.
Tho editor of THE Mountainkbii, in
rosponding to an invitation from tho j.
L. (Joker Camp, 8. C. V., of Hartevllle,
8. C, gavo to hia audienco an address
upon " Scraps of Confederate History,"
and among other topics presented ho
furnished a compilation of the losses in
tho great war between the States, which
will doublcss prove interesting to tho
public generally. This portion of tho
addrsss is as follows :
LOSSES IN T1IK WAR.
Tbo Southern Confederacy was com
posed of eleven States, which in 18t>0
had a military population of 1,064,193
with which to confront tho 4.559,872 of
tho same class in tho other States and
Territories. During the next four years
the military population iu the South was
iucreascd over 200,000 from those reach
ing their 18th year, and iu other States
and Territories tko military population
was increased over 900,000 from tho
same sourco. Thoso who wero exompt
on account of physical infirmities or
o'.herwiso, constitute in every country
one-fifth of the military population, and
ofllcial llgurcs show that 25 per cent of
tho porsons examined in 1863-05 by the
United States authorities were rcjectod
as unlit for military duty. Tho Confed
erate recruiting olllccrs did not insist
upon any high standard of physical re
quirements, as tho needs of the army
woro too pressing, and they accepted all
recruits and conscripts except such as
woro manifestly incapacitated for mili
tary service Tho aggrcgato enrolment
of tho Confederate armies during tbo
wbolo war, according to an estimate in
tho " Southern Historical Socioty Pa
pers," which was approved by Adjutant
Genoral Sam'l Coopor, numbered over
000,000 effectivo mcu, of whom not over
400,000 woro enrolled at any ouo timo.
The total enlistments in tho Federal
armies were equal to 2,320,108 men ro
cruitod for three years' sorvico.
Thum: figures substantially maintain
tho ratio of the military population as
ascertained by tho consus in 1809, and as
to tho Fcdoral armios thoy arc based up
on tho statistics of tho war department
in Washington. Tho official rosters of
tho Oonfedorato armies at various dates
during tho war show tho following num
ber of organizations that wore in almost
continuous scrvlco in tho field: 520 reg
iincuts nnd 85 battalions of infantry;
127 regiments and 47 battalions of caval
ry ; 5 regimonts and (1 battalions of
heavy artillery, and 201 battorlos of light
artillery. Tho aggregato is equivalent
to 704 regiments of ton companies oach.
Only a fow now regimonts were organ
ized aftor 1802, and in most cases thoy
woro consolidations of provlous organi
zations. Tho recruits and conscripts
woro assigned to tho old regiments to
keep up an cfToctivo stronKth.
I Tho total loss of tho Oonfodorato ar
[ raios In killed and mortally wonndod will
never bo definitely known, and can be
stated only in round nurabore. A. sum
mary of tho casualties in each battle and
minor ongagoraont, using official reports
only, and in their absoaco tho ostlmatcs
from Oonfodorato sources, indicates that
04,000 mon w?re killed or mortally
wounded on tho Confederate side da
ring tho war.
In tho report made by Gon. James D.
Fry for 1805 0, thoro is a tabulation of
Confederate losses as compiled from tho
muster rolls on fllo in tho Bureau of
Confederate archives at Washington.
Tho returns are incomplete, and uearly
all tho Alabama rolls aro mlsBiug. Tho
figures aro worth noting, howovor, as
they show that at least 74,524 woro kill
ed or died of wounds, and that 59,297
died of disease. Without meaning to
make any invidious comparison, tho
tabulation of Gen. Fry's report shows
that out of tho 74,524 who were killed
or died of wounds, North Carolina and
Booth Carolina aro accredited with
82,505, or more than 43 por cont. of the
total loss. The highest per centago of
loss in killod and mortally wounded,
ratod according to the military popula

ment, which tho sous and daughters of
Coofodorate Boldiors caa trcaeuro as an
adhoronco to principle on tho part of
their ancoBtry.
Mr. Kirkloy, tho statistician of tho U. I
8. war department, states tho deaths
from battles daring the civil war, as ho
terms it, at 110,070, of which 07,058 aro
claBBifled as killed la action and 43,013
as having died of wounds. Estimating
from tho loss in killod and mortally
wouuded, tho conclusion is drawn that
thoro were 275,175 men wounded other
wise than mortally la tho Union armios,
making tho total numbor of killod and
wouuded 385,245, within a Bmall fraction
of tho total numbor of effectivo men iu
all tho armlos of tho Confodorato States
during tho ootiro four years, bo that for
each man iu tho Coafodorato sorvico
thero was a man killed or wouuded in
tho Fodoral sorvico. Tho numbor of
wouudod who wero troAtod At tho F?d
eral hospitals during tho war watt 210,
712, which ombracod nlno-tontln of all
tho woundod, according to tho Hurgoon
Gonoral'b ostimato. Thoro is no way of
arriving at tho oxact numbor of killod
and woundod, but tho hospital records
are substantially accurate, and tho Iobsob
in minor engagements for which no olll
cial roturus of casualties wero mado will
undoubtedly iucroaso tho total consider
ably.
At Gettysburg, which bus boon termed
tho greatest of hietorio battles, the Fed
eral loss is stated at 8,003 killed, 14,402
woundod, and 5,435 captured or missing.
Tho mortally wouuded aro as usual in
cluded in the 14,402 roportcd simply as
woundod, but this docs not fix tho actunl
loss of life, aud Lt. Col. Wm. P. Fox,
U. 8. army, has oxaminod tho rolls of
each regiment which fought at Gettys
burg, and takiug namo by namo he has
ascertained that 5,201 men lost their
lives ou that Held, and tbo Second Corps
(Hancock's) sustainod a loss of 1,238 in
killed and diod of wounds, or nearly
one-fourth of tho total loss thus ascer
tained. It was thoro that this famous
corps had tho hardest fighting in Hb ex
poriouco and won its greatest laurels,
and it was there tboy mot aud ropulsed
Pickott'B magnificent chargo, where tho
fighting was deadly in tho extreme. Tho
por contago of loss iu tho first Minnesota
regiment was without an equal in tho
records of modem warfare. Only 202 ,
men from 8 companies wero iu action of
July 2nd, and tho total casualties were
215, of whom 4? were killed aud 108
wounded, making 82 per cent. Tho
Federal reglmont sustaining tho greatest
loss in battle duriug tho entire war was
(he Fifth Now Hampshire, which lost
205 men, killed or mortally wounded in
action, from 1801 to 1805.
Tho distinction must be drawn be
tween a per ccntago of loss aud the
greatest loss in any given battlo, depend
ent upon tho number of men carried into
action. Tho sovercst losses are not al
ways tho largest numerically. Take the
20th North Carolina, Pcttigrow's brigade,
whoso loss at Gettysburg was 80 killed
aud 502 wounded, making a total of 588,
iu addition to 120 roported as missing,
who were lost In Pickett's chargo. nearly
all of whom must have beeu killed or
wouuded, as they fell into tho enemy's
bauds and wero not included iu the hos
pital report. The casualties were 708
out of 820 who wero present, and this
loss occurred mostly in tuo first day's
fight, which is au almost unexampled
record. Tho por ceutago of loss in the
20th North Carolina at Gettysburg was
71.7, which is tho third highest per cont
ago in tho Confederate army. -
Tho First Texas in the battlo of An
tiotam (Sharpsburg) carried only 220
mou iuto action, and tho loss was 45
killed aud 141 woundod, which is 82 U
por cent., tho highest por contago on
record. Tho 21st Georgia at the Hccond
Manassas (Aug. 28-31, 1802), wiU 242
men in action, lost 38 killed aud 140
wounded, or 70 per cent.
Tho Palmetto Sharp Shooters at
Frazlor's Farm (June 30, 1802) with 375
mon in action, lost 80 killed and 215
wouuded, or 07.7 per cont.
Tho Sixth So. Oa. at Soven Piucs
(May 31,1802) with 521 men in action,
lost 88 killod and 181 woundod, c* 51.0 I

Tho 1st 8. O. Rifles (Orr's regiment)
at Gaines' Mill, with 587 mon in action,
lost 81 killed and 225 wouadcd, or 50.0
por cent.
Anderson's So. Oa. brigade (afterwards
Jenkins' and tin n Bratton's) in tho
"Soven Days Around Richmond" with
1,250 mon in action, lost 130 killed and
038 woundod, 13 missing, or 02.0 por
cent. This loss occurred in tho two
battles of Gaines' Mill and Frazlor'
Farm.
Longst root's Division (Andorson's,
Pryor's, Wilcox's and Fcatherstono'a
brigades) during tho 8cvon Days Battles,
lost at Oainos' Mill nnd Fra/.lor'a Farm
700 killed, 3,485 woundod and 237 miss
ing; total 4,488 out of 8,831 ongagod, or
50.2 por cent. Nor was this au uncom
mon loss, as tho oillcial reports often in
dlcnto a loss of forty por cont. or moro.
Through tho dosporato strugglo of four
yoars, with its scores of groi t battles
and minor ongagomoats, the ranks wero
divided and sub-divided until tho ond
camo, and with it a brigade or division
was moroly a thin of shreds aad patches.
As early in tho war as BharpBburg
(Sept. 17, 1802) regiments were com
manded by captains and companios by

Gettysburg was undoubtedly tho groat
oat battlo of tho war; tho strategic issues
involved wero tho most important;
Washington City was imperilled, and
tho Fedorals woro on tho defonsivo; and
it was the turning point in tho fortunes
of tho Oonfodoracy. Tho contending
armies woro not only largo, but wero at

How the Farmers Can Save Money
To tho Editor of The Farmer:
Tho following communication issued
by the Assistant Agriculturist of Cloni
sou Agricultural college is of so much
value to the farmers of this State on ac
count of tho present high price of all
feed products for farm animals and
stock, that I havo determined to get you
to publish this as an advertisement for
which our company will bear the ex
pense.
As some of the products made up in
tho ration as made by Mr. (Jonuor may
not bo available to various planters, I
suggest that any planter writo to Mr.
Conuor and stato what food products
arc available to him, both rough forage
and concentrated food, and Mr. Connor
will take ploasuio iu making up a ration
to suit his needs as he has done iu this
instance.
General Manager Tho Southern Cotton
Gil Company,
Cheap Rations for Horses and
Mules.
Yours trul
To the Editor of Tho Farmer;
Farmers from various sections of tho
Stato have been writing asking about
the advisability of feeding horses and
mules on cotton seed meal and hulls and
also asking for a chcapor ration thau
corn.
Tho following prices aro given in a
lcttor from Bcranton, H. O. ; Corn, $10
per ton; oats, $45 por ton: wheat bran,
$25 per ton; cotton seed meal, $25 per
ton; rice meal, $22 per ton. Of courso
corn and oats arc out of the question as
a food for horBes and mulcB at tho above
prices so something choapor must bo
looked for.
Tho analysis shows that rico meal has
about tho samo composition as corn moal
and wo have found that it is just ae good
for feeding pigs. Wo have fed it to
horses with good results. I think wo
aro safo in saying that it may bo used in
placo of corn pound for pound.
If no hay or fodder is usod in tho
ration and hulls are resorted to as rough
ness some nitrogenous food such as bran
or cotton seod meal must bo used to
supply protoin. Hulls may bo fed with
out any further fear of injury to tho ani
mal. Should thoy refuso to eat tho hulls
a iittlc corn meal or bran sprinkled over
tho surfaco will tompt them.
A good cheap ratiou may bo mado up
as follows:
Six pounds of rico costing 0.0 cents;
four pounds of wheat bran costing ?> 0
couts; two pounds of cotton seed meal,
costing 2 5 conts ; ton pounds of cotton
seed hulls, costing 3.0 cents ; total cost
of ration per day 17.1.
Tho abovo is' for a horao or mulo of
1,000 pounds in live weight.
It in evident that a ration mado up of
corn and fodder and containing the aarao
amount of digestible mattor aa the abovo
ration would coat much moro than tho
abovo.
Tho North Carolina oxporimont atation
has fod cotton aood moal and hulls to
horaea with good roaulta, but tho ox peri
monts along this line havo not been ox
tonaivu enough to say that cotton seed
moal can be fod in unlimited quantities
for any longth of time without injury to
tho animal.
Numbers of farmers, howovor, havo
reported that they have fod cotton soud
moal to mules and horsoa with good
reaultB.
