will be as perfect as the seed itself, provid¬ 
ed that it is planted on suitable land, well 
manured and well cultivated. These latter 
points must receive proper attention, since 
t he tendency of corn under certain circum¬ 
stances is to tiller, which is not as favor¬ 
ably considered in corn as in grain. In the 
case of corn such growth is known as suck¬ 
ers. By removing the tassels from part of 
the growth an increase in the growth of 
suckers will be favored. As such growth 
might produce imperfect ears or produce 
tassels, it will be expedient to remove every 
sucker as it shows itself, or a variety ma} r 
be produced that will have a tendency to 
run to suckers. 
The Farm and Home , a Massachusetts 
Paper, says:—“Over 12.000 tons of cotton 
seed meal were fed in New England last 
year—a fact which shows how rapidly this 
comparatively new feed has gained ground. 
It ought to be furnished far below its pres¬ 
ent price, and would be if a quarter of the 
available seed were utilized. An Atlanta 
(Ga.) paper estimates that the South pro¬ 
duced last year over 3.000.000 tons of cotton 
seed, only one-sixteenth part of which was 
worked up—a waste of $50,000,000. The 
meal is not. as some suppose, the seed 
ground up. but is made from a *‘cake” that 
remains after the oil has been crushed and 
pressed from it. This oil cake was former¬ 
ly thrown away, and it is this refuse which 
is now ground up and sold at $18.00 per 
ton or more. A ton of cotton seed pro¬ 
duces, after being thus handled. 765 pounds 
of meal; yet the figures above given show 
1 hat immense quantities of seed go to waste, 
on account of the lack of mills to extract 
the seed and grind the cake. Cotton seed 
meal has been steadily growing in favor 
with live-stock men since it was first intro¬ 
duced. and if it could be afforded at a lower 
price would crowd corn meal in a good 
many stables. Few cattle •‘take” to it at 
first,, but they soon seem to like it and be¬ 
come very fond of it. We have never 
known of any harmful results to follow its 
use, except when too much was fed. As a 
fattening ;food if ranks high, and it is un¬ 
doubtedly destined to play a prominent part 
among the foods of the future.
