Much has been said and written relative to the muse of cotton MPI meal as a eattto food Nearly all Inveitlgatnra agree In giving It a high value and urge dairymen dairy-men to use this material not only be rniiie It Is I a cheap so iri rfproleln marm but beenuse It also has a high mair lal value Practical feeders differ greatly In their estimate of ortlua = seeul I meal Ronta seem to use It very satisfactorily for a while and latter conclude that the feed Is not well adapted for their purposes Occasionally Occasion-ally a feeder observe that the health of hla animal InnfTectcd ly the feedIng feed-Ing of cottoneifil too freely and It sometimes happens that even after animals ani-mals have been fed for month withal with-al llrnl sucttts that they are Injured by Its continued line It has also happened hap-pened that cows fed upon cottonseed meal do well for a time nnd that later the milk flow Is diminished without apparent ap-parent cause There nre at present no other concentrated feeding stuffs which vary so much In composition as cotton cot-ton seetl meals from different sources and different mills Within three weeks the station has examined sample varying vary-ing from 23 per l cent to over tJ per cent of protein This great variation Ii different dif-ferent lots of rnltan see i meal may explain ex-plain Iho different estimate of different differ-ent practical feeders and of the same feeder at different times If a row ls I tOIl a cottonseed meal containing 20 per rent protein and Is I then fed an equal weight of meal containing 6 2 per rent It Is I evident that tho amount of I protein which she receives will have oren doubled by tho rhango It aha has been fed up to her full capacity In the first Instance such Increase must result re-sult disastrously On the other hand changing from a cottonneed 1 ot high protein content to one of low protein content would diminish the milk flow unless the amount of meal fed Is cor reipondlngly Increased If It Is I a correct cor-rect supposition that much of the trouble trou-ble arising from tho me ot cottonseed meal Is duo to Its varying In composition composi-tion this can bo readily overcome by the feeder Cottonseed meal like moil concentrated feeding stuffs cannot be legally sold In the slate of Maine unless un-less tho chemical composition Is I itated upon the package From the known composition of different lots It will bo possible to so adjust the amount fed that tho site of tho ration as measured by Its I content ot protein will bo kept unchanged The variations In composition i compos-ition are so great and the matter Is I such a serious one to tho consumer that he for his own protection should retime re-time to purchase concentrated commercial commer-cial frnllne iliitTi which are not
