According to the last year book of
the Department of Agriculture. there
are 2i,I20,000 mich COWS i'm the Unit
ed States, and these are worth $TO2,-
945,O0O00. The magnitude of the in
dustry can perhaps be best under
stood when 1t is considered that these
COWS produce yearly about $1.OOO,-
O0O.OOOOO worth of dairy proucts.
There is no other branch of diver
sifed agriculture so important to the
progress of community. The fer
til1ty OF the soil can best be MAIN
tanned by the liberal use Of barn
yard manure and the dairy herd not
only makes this possible, but dairy
ing is also more remunerative than
other branches of farming when prop
erly carried on.

CAPT. DARBY WRITES
ON DEPLORABLE AFFAIR
AT MOUNTAIN CREEK

In a communication addressed to The
Age-Herald by Capt. ]. Lawler Darby.
adjutant of Camp Hardee 1t is asked that
the charges recently made against the 25
old Confederate soldiers at the Mountain
creek Soldiers Home by Judge John Pur-
hoy be not taken into too serious account.
Judge Purifoy, examiner of public ac-
counts, preferred the charges in a report
made to Governor Conner. He claimed
that five of the veterans now at the
Mountain Creek home were deserters
from Confederate ranks, that 10 have
been receiving pensions and are hence not
entitled to entertainment at the home,
and that one has no Alabama service
record.
Captain Darby's letter follows:

The report in regard to some Of the
inmates of the Old Soldiers Home at

federate army and the matter of receiving
pensions. is both painful and humiliating
