Milking Cows by Machinery.

A test has been completed at the
dairy department of the Kansas State
Agricultural college which proves that
milking machines are a success.
The machines were installed and
the test conducted by Prof o. Err, in
charge of the state dairy work. The
machines operate by means OF
vacuum. A three-horse-power gaso-
line engine runs a vacuum pump
which exhausts the air out of sys-
tenn Of pipes. These pipes run along
the side of the cows, and the milking
machines are attached to these pipes
by flexible hose.
The vacuum created by the pump
runs pulsator on the top of the can
and this produces an intermittent sue
ton in the cups attached to the teats
of the cow. The suction draws the
milk from the cow through the rubber
tube and deposits it in the can. The
milk is not exposed to the air, hence
absolutely sanitary milk can be pro.

MAYORS CONSIDER
LEGISLATIVE BILL
HEADS OF ALABAMA CITIES OF
THE SECOND-CLASS WILL HOLD
CONFERENCE IN BIRMINGHAM
NEXT MONDAY,

The Mayors of Alabama cities of the
second class will hold a meeting in Biz
mingham next Monday to discuss legis-
lation affecting municipal government
The meeting was called by Mayor Charles
p. Smith of Gadsden.
It Is expected that the attendance will
be large and that a bill to he presented
to the next Legislature providing for re-
forms in municipal government will be
considered.
Some of the cities in the second class
that will very likely be represented in
the meeting next Monday are Gadsden.
Admission, Decatur. New Decatur Shelf
field. Florence, Tuscumbia, Huntsville and
others.
1t is said that at this meeting an eff
fort will be made to form a combina-
ton with the conference of Mayors OF
cities of the first class to be held at Mont
gomery. December 20. This latter meeting
Will be an adjourned session of the con-
ference held about two weeks ago Mt
Montgomery. 1t is contended that the
legislative interests of the one class of
cities is identical with the other and
it is desired by some of the Mayors of
the cities of the second class that the
conferences be combined.
At the meeting held at Montgomery by
the Mayors of the cities of the first class,
nothing definite was accomplished. but
the representatives of tho several NUM-
cipalities present were instructed to pre-
pare reports or reforms desired to be sub
mitted at the adjourned session next
week.
1t is hoped that from these reports
and suggestions a bill can be framed
that will answer the general purposes
of all cities concerned. Mayor George b.
Ward of Birmingham attended the former
meeting and took an active part in the
proceedings. He will also attend the adj
1ourned session next week.

FOR BENEFIT OF
HUMANE SOCIETY
BILL SEEKS TO MAKE SOCIETY
BENEFICIARY OF COUNTY AND
STATE COURT FINES AS WELL
AS CITY,

1t was learned yesterday that bill
will be introduced during the session of
the next legislature having for its pur-
pose the benefit of the local humane so
ciety. The bill seeks to make the state
enact IA law similar to the one in force
in Birmingham which names the society
as the beneficiary of all fines imposed
against defendants charged with cruelty
In any of its forms.
The law in Birmingham has 1t so ar
ranged that when a fine is paid to the
clerk of the police court this fine event
ualiy finds its way into the treasury of
the humane society. However when
fine for cruelty is imposed In any other
court, the county or state is the bene-
ficiary.
If the legislature passes the bill which
Is in the hands of representatives of JET
ferson county it will give Humane Officer
Bonnie, who has at present only police
powers. the powers of deputy in addi-
ton.
The proposed bill is receiving the in
dorsement of all city officials.

DECATUR HAS NEW
RAILWAY STATION
Mayor H. A. Skeggs, Jry Talks
of improvements
TWIN CITIES ARE GROWING
New Union Station Cost $4,000 and Is
Handsomely Appointed Through
out-River Transportation
Has Been Good.

The Deeaturs are getting their share
of the great general prosperity that is
just now sweeping the country" said
Mayor II. A. skeggs, Jr, of Decatur,
who was in the city yesterday.
so far as / know there is not a vacant
house in either of the cites and many
new ones are now in course of construc-
ton in all sections of the two places.
Many large improvements have been
made during the present year and next
year promises to even excel the present
one in the matter of development in all
Inns.
The city of Decatur has just pur-
chased lot on Church street on which a
city hall and Jail will be erected at once.
Plans for the building have not yet been
made, but it will be ereditable structure
to cost several thousand dollars.
1.-The Southern Railway company has
just completed large new union pas
senger station near the old building and
the roads will move in within a week
or ten days. 1t will be used by the South
ern and Louisville and Nashville rail-
roads. The building and sheds with
furnishings cost about $4,000 and is one
of tho most commodous and handsome
structures of the kind in the state
THE building proper is 1870 feet long
and is furnished with very handsome mis-
sion furniture The general appointment
is ideal in every respect
There are two large sheds, one 200
feet long and the other $50 feet long, with
good cement platforms under them. The
main building is furnished throughout
with electric lights, water and sewer
age system.
I'm addition to the money that is be-
ing spent on the new passenger sta
ton the Southern railway is spending
about $4,000 more in new tracks, bridges
and retaining walls at Decatur. Other
important improvements are also being
made.
"A local stock company has just COM
pleted new 10000 theatre known as the
Lyceum theatre. A local stock company
has also been formed to erect modern
skating rink.
THE electric street railway Of Deca-
tur has purchased some new cars and
will otherwise improve the equipment of
the system. All points in both the cities
are well connected with car service and
the lines are constantly being extended
to new territory.
Transportation business on the Ten
nessee river has been very good this year
and will be much larger when improve
ments on shoals already begun have been
completed. After the work that is now
being done at Colbert shoals is completed
and some more work is done at Muscle
shoals, the river will be open to trans
portation to Chattanooga all the year
round.
The public schools in both the Deca-
turs are in a 1ourishing condition and
are all we'll attended. They are under
the management of an ample corps OF
efficient teachers"
