Cotton seed meal Is probably the
r cheapest concentrate feed offered on
the market today, when we consider
the amount of digestible nutriments
it contains. It is not considered as safe
for general feeding as bran and such
other feed#. Otherwise It would be
much more generally used and with
the greater demand the price would
be higher. There has no doubt been
unsatisfactory results In some cases
from feeding catle heavily on cotton
seed meal. It is also true that there
are plenty of cases on record where
hogs have died from feeding on cotton
seed meal. Judiciously fed, however,
cotton seed meal is an economical and
sufficiently safe feed. A ration consist-
ing of 2 parts corn meal and 1 part
bran has by experiment been found
equal to oats for horse and mule feed-
ing. No doubt cotton seed meal could
be substituted for the corn and a mix-
ture of cotton seed meal and bran
equal parts, by weight, be fed satis-
factorily. Probably some little care
wcwld be necessary In gradually ad-
ding the cotton seed meal as It may
take a little while for horses, and par-
ticularly mules, to acquire a taste for
cotton seed meal. There are numbers
of authenticated cases on record
where both horses and mules have
been maintained satisfactorily for
considerable periods on cotton seed
meal alone.
Somewhat more care must be exer-
cised In feeding cotton seed meal to
hogs than to horses. In the case of
young pigs and breeding hogs I would
not recommend that more than one-
eighth of the ration consist of cotton
seed meal. The other seven-eights may
consist of corn, kafir, or milo chop,
shorts, mill run or such other feeds.
For fattening hogs more cotton seed
can be safely and satisfactorily be fed
than one-eighth of the grain ration. We
have three lots of fattening hogs on ex
perlment at this time. Lot X is being
fed corn chop S parts, cotton seed meal
1 part; Lot 2 corn chop $ parts, cotton
seed meal l part; Lot s corn chop 1
parts, cotton seed meal l part. Each
mixture is soaked twelve hours before
feeding. These hogs have been on full
feed for forty days and will be mar
keted In about twenty days from date
There are two things we are trying to
determine by means of this experl
nient: First, how heavily cotton seed
meal may be fed to hogs; Second, the
comparative economy of cotton seed
meal and corn for fattening hogs. So
far each lot is making satisfactory
gains and as yet we have had no bad
results with these hogs from cotton
seed meal feeding. I know of a num-
ber of cases where men make a prac-
tice of feeding fattening hogs a ration
consisting of one-third cotton seed
meal for a period of sixty days, and
report satisfactory results. I believe
in each case the feed is soaked from
twelve to twenty-four hours before
feeding. Continued feeding of a ration
consisting of one-third to one-fourth
cotton seed meal would no doubt kill
many hogs, but small pigs and breed-
ing hogs may be fed a mixture of one-
eighth cotton seed meal almost Inde-
finitely and fattening hogs may be
safely fed as rich a mixture as 1 to 4
of cotton seed meal for a period of
sixty days without bad results.
There is practically no difference
in the feeding value of ootton seed
meal and cotton Beed cake. The cot-
ton seed cake must be broken up in
small pieces to be fed to most classes
of stock and for this remon is scarcely
as convenient as cotton seed meal.
Cotton seed cake should not be con-
flicted with Caddo cake or cold pressed
cotton seed cake. This cold pressed
cake or Caddo cake contains a large
per cent of hulls and consequently
contains a great deal of crude fiber
and only about one-half as much pro-
tein as standard cotton seed meal or
cotton seed cake. I do not believe that
Caddo cake is worth more than three-
lifth as much as cotton seed meal.
Blackleg.
By Professor L. L. Lawla
Department of Veterinary Science. A. A
... M- College. Stillwater, Okla.
Blackleg in cattle will become pre-
valent again this fall. The disease Is
much more common during the fall and
spring months than at any other sea
son. The disease may be prevented
by vaccination and If this is done in
«ood season It will often save a few of
the best and fattest of the calves. Moat
stockmen know blackleg when they
see cases, but they often wait until
the disease appears in their herd be-
fore taking any precaution to protect
the stock.
The disease usually attacks the1
young thrifty calves ranging in age
from six to eighteen months. The calf
first becomes lame, a swelling Is no-
ticed in some portion of the body, us-
ually in one of the quarters, and may
be dectected under the skin by rub-
bing the hand over the swollen region
and the flesh has the appearance of
being bruised. This black condition of
the flesh gives the disease its common
name of blackleg. Usually blackleg
will kill in from twelve to forty-eight
hours after the first symptoms are no-
ticed.
The Oklahoma Kx perlment Station
prepares vaccine for the disease and
distributes It free of any charge to the
farmers of the state. In order to admin-
ister the vaccine properly a good heavy
hypodermic syringe should be used.
For the accommodation of those who
may not be able to secure a syringe
from their local druggist the Experi-
ment Station keeps a number in stock.
These syringes are sold at cost, which
Is four dollars by mail or express pre-
paid, or three and a half dollars each
If the postage or express Is paid by
the purchaser.
POULTRY
Force of Horse's Kick
The remarkable force of a horse's
kick was demonstrated the other day
at a training establishment at Klngs-
clere, near Southampton. The shoe of
a thoroughbred flew -faff and was
hurled over the top of the opposite
stable, some distance away, at a height
of nearly thirty feet, and landed on
the glass roof of a greenhouse beyond.

Single-Comb Brown Leghorn.
ind finds 20 to 50 silting at a time, and
then In the Leghorn houses cannot find
more than three or four. It does not
take long to get disgusted, says a
writer In the Agriculturist. American
breeds do not mature as quickly, and
one must set eggs which sell in the
market at 40 to 50 cents in order to
Bet early pullets by laying time in
October.
People say that a Plymouth Rock
fowl makes a good roast, but If egss
of Leghorn breeds and those of the
Plymouth Rock varieties are set the
same day, the Leghorn fowls will lay
when the eggs are high, so that a
dozen will pay lor more than enough
to of.set an advance in what the car
cass would bring.
Again, the Leghorns are longer
ilred as a paying Investment, for even
at four or five years of age they will
be profitable as egg producers, while
a Plymouth Rock will become too fat
after the second molt to be profitable
as a layer. The Leghorn eggs are very
even In color, large and white; In fact,
the largest. I have fowls whose eggs
weigh two pounds to the dozen: ordi-
nary brown eggs will weigh from a
pound and six ounces to a pound and
eight ounces; not only this, but Leg
horn eggs can be produced for less
money. My experience is that six cents
for white and ten cents or more for
brown eggs is about the usual run.
HOME-MADE POULTRY FEEDER
^tomatlc Device Eliminates All Waste
and Compels Birds to Scratch
for Their Rations.
My hens wake up very early in the
morning. Of course It doesn't do them
| any good to stand around .lungry at
daybreak, but getting out co feed them
Is a strenuous task. For a time I
tried scattering the scratch feed In
the litter after dark, but pretty soon
I found that I was supporting about all
the rats in the neighborhood. Finally,
after faltering for a time betwixt duty
and pleasure, I devised an automatic
feeder which solves that particular
problem, and at the same time several
more, writes C. M. Gallup in the Sue
eessful Farming. It eliminates all
waFte; it compels the birds to take
exercise In getting their ration; It Is
ready for business twenty-four hours
of the day.
