Demonstrates Own Patent Mixer

The mixing machine which he had just patented and which did the work he expected it to do was then explained The chopping up of corn stalks and the operation of the fan which blew the si- lage into the sio also proved most in- teresting. A demonstration of the dip ping of cattle to rid them of the Texas tick was then made. sF'or this purpose large drove of fine cattle from a near by field were sent through the dipping vat, which had been built near his large barn. The demonstrations proved most interesting and many of the farmers who witnessed them left the plantation with the determination to do better farming on his own lands in the future.
 The raising of live stock has been en- gagged in most successfully by MT. Derby for the past year SO. Each year he sends to market many heads of stock. Some of his cattle he feeds from a trough while others he leaves in his pasture lands. Among the meats of the barbe- cued dinner there was cooked a 2-year- old tick free heifer weighing about 400 pounds Illustrating the value of the pas ture lands of that section of the state.
 While he has made money each year in disposing of the cattle which he has sold Mr Derby admitted that the manure was proving to him the greatest asset of the cattle raising business. Other live StOck ralSefS rom other SectlOnS or the state agreed with him in that matter also.
 From the almost barren and sandy land of Sumter in a great bend of the Black Warrior river, MT. Derby has, by indus try and scientific farming, built one of the most modern and best equipped farms in the state. He has proven the fertility of the soil of that section of the state in the growing of nearly every kind of nv ha oy-oz zi,o pde Ina roaming many heads of blooded cattle and everywhere upon his large plantation the most modern and scientific methods are utilized in doing things and the Der by plantation is an object lesson to the farmers of Alabama and Mississippi.
