 Monopoly to Ruin Ills RusI-
 ness in Birmingham.

J. Ed Barnes today began an action in the United States court through his at torneys, Vaughan 6 Davidson, against the Milner & Kettig company, and Bir- mineham Pipe & Casting company
 This suit is brought under what Is known as the Sherman Antitrust Law the act under which the suits were brought against the Northern and North ern Pacific railway merger and the so called beef trust-and the damages are laid at S15.o0O, besides 5000 attorneys fees.
 Section of the act authorizes the bring Ing of the suit in the Federal court and it is particularly under sections 1 and ? of the act that the complaint is made.
 Section forbids combinations. which in their nature are in restraint of trade and section 2 forbids monopolies.
 The plaintiff in this case charges that the defendants are guilty under both of these sections and, therefore, seeks dam ages under the provisions of the act
 This is the first case that has been brought in this circuit under the sherman act, and it is said that there are large number of cases In Birmingham depend- ant upon the outcome of this action. If is probable that several will be filed within the next few days. setting up similar causes of action.
 The plaintiff Is plumber and complains that he Is debarred from purchasing and dealing in plumbers supplies. because he is outside of the National Association of Master Plumbers of the United States and that the defendants have conspired with said association and refuse to sell to him, and that by reason of this unlawful com bination and monopoly" he and the public are injured and subjected to great loss.

 Floral Offerings.
THE IMPRESSIVE RITES

The funeral over the remains of Judge William w. Wilkerson, who died suddenly at his residence Thursday night, was held yesterday afternoon from St. Mary's- on-thn-Hughlands, and the interment was in Oak Hill cemetery. The services were conducted by the rector, the Rev. J. w. Canty Johnson, who read the beautiful service of the Episcopal church tenderly and impressively.
 The church was filled with friends of the deceased. The members of the Jeff ferson County Bar association attended in body There were probably two hun dred attorneys at St. Marys. and a large number of them were at the cemetery.
 The floral designs were unusually numerous. Judge Wilkerson was excep- tionally popular with all the attorneys of the city, and many of them sent offerings besides the beautiful one sent by the bar association. The casket was covered with flowers and the altar was banked with floral designs.
 After the services at the church the funeral cortege went down Twentieth street to the cemetery. It was one of the longest which has been seen in Blrming- ham in some time. At the grave the re- mains were lifted from the hearse and lowered Into the grave after short cere- mony. The pall-bearers were E. H. Caba- miss, R. N. Rhodes, J. 8. Gillespie, A. O. Lane, w. s. Lowell Thomas Worthing- ton H. c. Miller and John London.
 The honorary escort was Judge H. A. Sharpe. Judge A. A. Coleman, Judge c. A. Senn, Judge J. C. Carmichael, Judge s. E. Greene, Judge D. A. Greene, Judge N. B. Feagin, Judge B. c. Jones of the City court of Bessemer. Capt John White. William A. Walker and A. G. Smith.
 A guard of honor from the Bar asso- ciation watched over the remains ever since Friday afternoon, when the bar meeting was held In the Circuit court room. There were probably more lawyers present at the funeral yesterday than have ever gathered in Birmingham be- fore.
 All the courts of the city were closed during the afternoon, and most of them were closed for the entire day in honor of the deceased, who was senior judge of the City court of Birmingham. The first division of the Criminal court was ad- journed at o'clock. All the judges of the courts of Birmingham were present at the funeral.

PIGS AND SKIM MILK.
How n Discerning Man Seized an
Opportunity and Won Out.


Opportunity and Won Out.
A few years ago there was Il travel
ing man for a big Chicago dry goods
house who got tired of being OF the
road all the time. He longed for the
comforts of home, but he had not mon
ey enough to go into business for him
self in the city. After studying the
matter over for some time he concluded
to GO to farming. He vas brought up
on a farm and wanted to get back to
the land. He had money enough to
make a payment on a farm, and he con-
cluded he did not care for wealth If he
could have a home Of his own. He was
willing to work hard if he could only
be with his wife and family all the
time.
Looking about, he found a farm in
the dairy district Of Illinois that could
be bought cheaply. The farm was in
pretty bad shape, but it was a farm,
and our friend had a great deal Of faith
in his ability to dig a living out of that
particular piece Of land.
So he began life over again as a
farmer. He liked pigs and began
breeding them in a small way. One
| day he was over at the creamery near
| his place and heard some dairy farmer
say he didn't know what to do with his
skimmilk. 1t did not pay to feed it to
calves, for he could sell them as soon
as they were old enough to kill for veal
for a good high price, and, besides that,
he didn't want to bother with a lot Of
calves.
Now, our friend believed in taking
farm papers and keeping up with the
times. He had read that skimmilk is
about as good a thing for pigs as can be
given them, and he asked this man
what he would sell his skimmilk for.
The dairyman named 10 cents the hun
dred as the going price, and a bargain
was made. 1t o got nOised about
the vicinity that there was a man there
who wanted skimmilk, and before long
our friend was driving over to the
creamery to get two barrels Of skim
milk every day.
His pigs thrived so wonderfully on
the skimmiik diet that they sold for
more than the market price, and pres
emily he was breeding pure bred pigs
and getting a high price for them. The
writer of this article in Dairy and
Creamery bought one from him once
that was only eleven months old and
paid more than $50 for it, and a little
mate Of this pig sold the same day for
$87, for the pig breeder had an auction,
and men came from a long distance to
buy his stock, SO wide had become its
fame.
That was several years ago, and this
man is still buying skimmilk at the
creamery and producing prize winning
and long priced pigs. He merely took
advantage Of his opportunity and has
practically made a fortune from his
farm, and skimmilk has been a consid'
cradle factor in his success.

Goats do not interfere with the pas
turage of cattle or sheep, as the An
CORA is a browser and not a grazer,
says w. G. Bailey, the California breed
er. Some Of the central cattle breeders
have discovered that a few goats in a
cattle pasture will keep weeds and
brush down and the fence lines clean
and that they make their winter living
out of the excess of food which the cat
tie leave.
Far be it from the mind of any goat
breeder that the Angora has come to
take the place Of cattle or sheep. His
mission in thickly settled regions is to
keep the farm in proper condition for
other live stock, and in the millions Of
acres of brush ridden territory he will
act as the forerunner Of other branches
of the live stock industry.
He is not a creation Of the whim of
speculation, brought from distant Tur-
key to induce the American public to
part with it's hard earned lucre, but
he is a money maker, and when the
American live stock breeder prepares
proper place for the right kind Of An
goras he need feel no hesitancy In stock
ing with these silver fleeced brush de-
stroyers. They are an American institu-
ton, and they have ONE to stay.
