Skim Milk For Pigs.

From results of trials in feeding
skim milk to pigs III. III. Wing Of the
New York Cornell experiment station
calculates that, on the whole, skim
milk is worth about Is cents per hun
dredweight when fed to pigs from the
time Of weaving until they weigh
about 125 pounds. Clear cornmeal Is
perfectly satisfactory as single grain
when fed in connection with skim milk.
Weanling pigs In close quarters during
cold weather can be made to gain a
pound live weight per day for three
months. There are indications that
the proportion of skim milk can be in
creased economically above the ratio
Of three pounds Of milk to one pound
of grain usually recommended, thus
lessening the amount of grain food
that must be purchased.

M. M. Richey will shortly relinquish his position as assistant general superintend- ent of the Southern railway to accept the first vice presidency of the sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company.
 Joseph Bryan of Richmond who has held the position of first vice president of the Sloss-Sheffield for some time will retire from that office for the purpose of making a vacancy for Mir. Richey and the latter's election will take place at d meeting of the board of directors in New York tomorrow. While MT. Bryan has given great deal of time to the affairs of the company in which he is one of the largest stockholders and will continue to do so, the increasing business in the ex- ecutivs office at Birmingham called for an active first vice president who could give his entire time to local operations.
 It is understood that MT. Richey will perform many of the duties now devolving on the president of the company, Mir. J. C.. Maben, thus feDeVlng the neau or the concern of tremendous strain. The heads of the various departments formerly re- porting to the president will after MT. Richey is installed, report to the first vice president.
 Second Vice President J. W. Mcqueen will continue in charge of the sales de- partment and perform such other duties as already attach to his office.
 MT. Richey ranks as an exceptionally able railroad man. He came to the South ern from the Jersey Central about three years and a half ago and was at first superintendent of the Birmingham divi- sion, one of the most strenuous positions in the entire southern system. After serv-

ing as division superintendent less than two years he was promoted to the posi- ton of assistant general superintendent. For short while he held a position with the Illinois Steel company and was in charge of it's railway department.
 He has the reputation of being not only man of uncommon energy in work ing out difficult problems, but a master in the management of men. And with 1t all he Is singularly popular. both in and out of the railroad service. It is believed that his pratical railroad experience will stand him in good stead in his new posi- ton, inasmuch as the Sloss is great shipper, and therefore comes in close con- tact with the car situation and the trans portation question in general.
 Mir. Maben and MT. Riehey are knswn to be close personal friends and when MT. Bryan and other men prominent In the management of the Sloss-sheffield in- duced MT.

MISSION COURSE
 NOW CONCLUDED
REV. FATHER M'DONALD ADDRESS EDA LARGE CONGREGATION AT ST. PAUpS CHURCH LAST NIGHT. ELOQUENT DISCOURSE.

The mission for non-Catholics at St.. Paul's church closed last nieh-. The
 church was filled and the congregation
 gave rapt attention to the words of the Rev. Father Mcdonald, C. M.. whose theme was Loyalty to Conscience" Before beginning his discourse Father
 Mcdonald read and answered the dues- tions in the query box. Many of these question had been answered before but the priest good naturedly answered th/n again. Regarding the question about the
 beast-what was meant by the lgure?- the speaker readily confessed that he did not know what 1t meant. He had never found anyone who could interpret it's
 meaning He thought only God Himself would reveal it's meaning, and that in the world to come.
 "Why do priests kneel and bow so often during the celebration of mass ?" was another question. The missioner | asked if it had ever occurred to the questioner to ask why man tips his hat | to woman when he meets her on the street, or why we take off our hats to the l President of the United States. or why | soldiers salute each other so often. He said all Catholics bowed before the altar | because the Real Presence was on the altar.
 Do not Catholics have to pay the
 priest for hearing their confessons?' ?'' | was asked.
 Catholics that pay at confession never | come my way said Father Mcdonald. l ''The fact is, the church not only forbids confessors receiving money from those | who approach the confessional but the I law is, any priest guilty of such an act | Is communicated. No, my friends priests do not get money for hearing con l fessions''
 Father Mcdonald, in the treatment of | his lecture theme, Loyalty to Con- | science" was wonderfully earnest and | eloquent, especially in closing. when he described St. Paul breaking away from l his old environment and depicted the
 scenes of bloody martyrdom in the early l days of the church. The key note of his l lecture was seek the truth and when the l truth be found embrace 1t and act upon no matter if 1t means forsakng all social /! ties. forsaking father, mother, sister l brother-forsaking every thing to follow 1 Christ.
 l In taking leave of the audience Father l Mcdonald said he desired to thank those who had attended his lectures and he de- sired especially to thank publically the newspapers of Birmingham for the space they had give to the mission. "The pa | pers," he said, 'have given us a square l deal and that Is all we ask"
 Father Mcdonald preached at high mass at 10:30 o'clock on the Blessed Virgin-why
 Catholics honor her and pray to her.

The Shepherd kInq."

Wright Lorimer will begin a weeks en- in "The Shepherd King" MT. Lorimer' 8 production is one of exceptional excellence and deserves the liberal patronage of Bir- mingham theatregoers. The play was pre- sented here earlier in the season and de- lighted large audiences It was by an un- expected chain of circumstances that MT. Lorimer was secured for return engage ment.
 "The Shepherd King Is In many re. spects one of the most dramatic offerings of the day. It is sumptuousy and beau tifully staged, In addition to elaborate large number of supernumeraries have been engaged for the week, the stage hands are more familiar with the scenery than they were before and the perform ance will be much improved as a re- suit
 MT. Lorimer has told in '.The Shepherd King the vivid and romantic history of King David, his rise to greatness from the humble station of a shepherd lad in Bethlehem his battles for Israel and fin ally his elevation to the throne. There is also a delightful love story interwoven with the sterner thread of the plot, and the whole makes a dramatic performance that is thoroughly enjoyable, The his- toric significance of the play should also not be overlooked.
 Theatregoers who have not previously seen "The Shepherd King should avail themselves of the opportunity offered this week.
