stein cow, Pauline Paul, reaching
1,153 pounds Is ounces, and this
was perfectly authenticated re.
cord.
OF the 1894 Holstein COWS test.
ed by State experiment stations
during the year ending May Is,
1908, the average seven-day yield
was 1851 pounds of fat from 399
pounds of milk, showing a fat
percentage of 3.46.
Holsteln cattle are by no means
dalnty'in their choice of food from
calfhood up. They freely con-
sumo all scrts of roughage. They
possess vigorous constitutions
and are hardy under all condi-
tions of climate; free from dis
ease and breed with great regu-
larlty, producing very large and
strong calves, which are raised
without difficulty.
Holsteins excel for all dairy
purposes. No breed equals them
in the production of veal. The
calves are large at birth and fat
ten with great rapldlty. They
are valuable for beef production,
and they fatten very rapidly when
not IN milk. The conditions un-
der which the breed has been de.
veloped for thousands of years,
are conducive to thus remarkable
com blnation of utilities.
Large size is a predominant
characteristic of the Holstein.
The peculiar vitalizlng properties
existing in Holstein milk have be-
come widely recognized by ply
slclans and scientists, as we'll as
breeders. Public Institutions,
hospitals for the insane, ETC., u.s.
ing large quantities of Holstein
milk among their patients, find
certain peculiar beneficial results
not noticeable from other mllks.
The nearness in composition to
the human mothers milk has led
generally to the use of Holstein
milk for infants, and the supply
ing OF pure Holstein milk .or this
purpose has become a distinct
feature of the city milk trade.

MAKE STATEMENTS
 ON RECEIVERSHIP
ATKINSON AND ARkWRlGHT CON- FlDENT BIRMINGHAM COAL AND IRON co. WILL BE ABLE TO PAY OUT.

The Age-Heralds request for state gram last night from H. M. Atkinson, one of the receivers of the Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic railroad and for mer president of the Birmingham Coal and Iron company, which Friday went into the hands of receivers:
 "The receivership of the Birmingham Coal and Iron company is due to busi- ness depression.
 "The company has been developing it's property during the last two years. Dur ing this entire period it has been in the midst of the construction work which has just been completed.
 ''The business depression which began in November, 1907, came at the most in opportune time for the company as 1t was forced to proceed with the construc- tion work under unfavorable financial and business conditions.
 "The plants of the company which have inst been completed, are modern and eff ficient. The output of the company is increasing day DN uhS. lHS c"ihAiiSS "iS growing in volume. and the cost of oper- ation decreases. The property is very valuable, and if given reasonable time, I am sure the company will discharge Its every obligation and leave large sur plus value for the stockholders
 ''The receivers appointed are men who will get the very best results. The people interested in the enterprise will cooper ate with them and will renew their eff forts to make the business a great suc- cess.''
 Preston s. Arkwright, an Atlanta cap italist. one of the receivers of the Att lanta. Birmingham and Atlantic, inter- ested in the Birmingham Coal and Iron Company, wires as follows;
 "rThe Birmingham Coal and Iron com many has reached a state in which 1t is one of the best paying southern corpora tions in proportion to it's capital.
 However, owing to debts that accu- mulated during it's formative state and during the financial depression of 1907 and 1908, it had on it's shoulders a bur den which it could not sniff
 ''The earning capacity of the company is now of the highest. but despite this fact it has been impossible to wipe out the debts contracted while in the state of formation.
 Ut is believed that reorganization of the company will be effected and that active business will be resumed in the near future"

MASQUERADERS TO
 PLAY THIS WEEK

The engaging farcical romance by R. Marshall, which Ethel Barrymore made a great success in New York; is to be given at the Jefferson theatre on Wednes- day night by "The Masqueraders.' This performance promises to be most attrac- tive, not only on account of the amusing theme of the play but also by reason of the fact that it is to be given by Bir- mingham talent.
 The scene of the play is laid in the Amandaan Islands and the characters are types of English colonial and diplo- matic society. The plot is charmingly original and leads up to fine climax.
 "The Masqueraders' have already proved their steel' and it has been found to ring true. In "A Box of Monkeys" last year they made reputation for themselves which bids fair to fill the house to overflowing to see what happens to 'HisS Excellency the Governor
 The fact that the players are favorites in Birmingham society will prove fur ther drawing card.
 It is advertised that the proceeds of the play will be given to the Birming ham Public Library association.
