LIVE STOCK MEN MEET.

 Association.

Montgomery, February 21.-(Special)- The eleventh annual meeting of the Ala bama Live Stock association opened to- night at the Commercial club rooms, be- ginning at o'clock.
 The address of welcome was made by State Commissioner of Agriculture J. A. Wilkinson, responded to by Prof. J. F.. Duggar of Auburn. There was also an opening address by President C. A. Cary of Auburn
 Special attention is called to a lecture by President Cary on "Eradicating Cattle Ticks,'' and the discussion following. It is intimated in the programme that the different methods of killing ticks on cattle in pastures may be employed in Mont gomery county during 1908.
 The programme of the meeting is dis tinctly, however a discussion of dairying, and with the exception of discussion of Raising Mules in Alabama" in some form dairying is involved in the subjects assigned. Feeding Hogs in Connection With Dairying' may also perhaps be placed to itself. '"rhe Growing of Legum- inous Crops for Dairying." and Alfalfa in Alabama My Experience With De- von Cattle in Alabama" and How I Have Developed a Red Polled Herd in Alabama may be classed under the same general head of dairying.
 Fourteen phases of live stock discussion are scheduled for the convention.

To Cure La Grippe
 m Three Days

Mix a half-ounee Of Virgin oil of Pine with two ounces of glycerine and half pint of good whisky. Shake well and use in teaspoonful doses every four hours.
 It is claimed this formula will strength en weak lungs, heal the bronchial tubes, check a cold quickly, and cure any cough that is curable. It will break up an ordinary case of "the grip in three days. Being free from opiates or drugs It is far preferable for use to the ordi- nary cough mixture. In preparing this formula five ounces of tincture of Cin- chona compound can be used in place of the whisky, with the same effect.
