GBAliVS AND SEEDS 187 



Cottonseed is obtained after the cotton has been removed 

 by ginning. Formerly, cottonseed was used quite exten- 

 sively as a stock feed in the South. However, owing to its 

 value as the source of cottonseed oil, it is now not generally 

 fed, although it is still used to a Hmited extent for feeding 

 steers and dairy cows. Cottonseed should not be fed to 

 hogs. 



Flaxseed is also very high in oil. Being the source of 

 linseed oil, it is usually too valuable for ordinary stock 

 feeding. A little ground flaxseed often may be used to ad- 

 vantage in feeding skim milk calves. For ordinary stock- 

 feeding, flaxseed is not as valuable as linseed oil meal, the 

 residue after the removal of the oil.
