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. In connection with relative value I
