THE COMPARATIVE VALUE OF COTTONSEED MEAL, COLD- PRESSED COTTONSEED CAKE, AND A MIXTURE OF COTTONSEED MEAL AND CORN FOR FATTENING STEERS. INTRODUCTION. During recent years there has been much interest manifested in the manufacture of cottonseed oil from cotton seed without cooking it. The oil is extracted by severe pressure without hulling the seed, thus securing a better "quality of oil and leaving a residue called' cold-pressed cake, which is made up of the entire seed less the oil. With the increased output of cold-pressed cottonseed cake has arisen a demand for definite information concerning its feeding value. Several years ago a cooperative experiment was conducted by the Bureau of Animal Industry and the Alabama experiment station testing the value of cold-pressed cottonseed cake for fattening steers on grass.^ Now, however, most of the up-to-date farmers of the South who fatten beef cattle for the market have silos and use silage for the roughage in fattening the stock. No work had been done by the bureau to test the feeding value of cold-pressed cake when 1 Acknowledgment is due O. A. Scott and S. W. Greene, of the Animal Husbandry Division, United States Department of Agriculture, for assistance in compiling this bulletin. * Sec Bureau of Animal Industry Bulletin 131. ^ 91035'—1{>—Bu
