ATTENTION NEEDED
FOR WINTER PIGS
To Raise Two Litters Annually
One Must Not Allow Over
stocking.
lax al M. RRoWN.l

There is a decided difference In car
ing for the pigs of autumn farrowing
and those of the spring litters. On the
average farm the latter have the ad-
vantage over the former of coming
in previous to the advent OF the spring
grasses, and have a more generous
supply of milk and other laxative food
stuffs to keep them growing and in
perfect order.
1t has been my practice for num-
ber of years to raise two litters of pigs
a year. To do this successfully l find
that one must not allow overstocking.
but rather should sell off portion of
the pigs soon after weaving time,
keeping only SO many as he knows
he can accommodate with good quar-
ters and generous feeding. One must
not slight pigs during cold weather
either in housing or feeding.
Besides dry nesting quarters the
pigs should have a good.sized lot in
which they may get plenty of exercise.
Growing pigs should not be crowded
into close. filthy quarters. exposed to
vermjn and disease.
Our winter pigs are very profitably
fed upon whole corn in the fodder. as
they delight in getting their feed from
this material. l find that they eat
very much of this fodder. which forms
fine diet. The cobs and the coarse
stalks are raked up and burned fire.

supply of charcoal.

of winter pigs, and with the milk and
milkstuffs l can grow bunch of pigs
equal to the spring litters.

tBy L. c. REYNOLDS,


The best time to study the wool pro-
ducing quality of ones flock is when
the animals are sheared. AS wool is
being removed from the sheep time
should be taken to remove a few f.
bers of the fleece and note its quality.
In every flock there is wide varia-
ton in the quality of the wool from
different individuals. despite the fact
that they were sired by the same ram
and given practically the same care
and feed. The average wool produc-
ing sheep Of the double-deck type
should shear at least twelve pounds
OF wool Of good length and density.
The wool should not be excessively fine
nor, on the other hand. too coarse. but
should possess something of medium
quality. I have a number Of indi-
vfduals in my flock that annually
shear from twelve to thirteen pounds
Of wool of the quality that always de-
mands the highest market price.
These ewes are on the order of the
mutton breed. although they have
been bred for a number OF years for
both wool and mutton production.
I am firmly OF the opinion that the
most profitable sheep for the average
farmer to raise in the future is the
animal that will produce high quail
tty of both wool and mutton. In view

Looks as Though Slate Ticket Will Not Be Sub
 mitted in Jefferson
MIR. UNDERWOOD WILL
 HAVE NO OPPOSITION
Now Believed That County Committee Will Not Exercise Its Authority to Submit "Slate"
 for County

The notification given by the sub-com- mttee through the publication of an adopted resolution to the effect that can- ddates for delegates to the state con vention, April Is, may become qualified without the necessity of the formation of slate" was followed yesterday morn ing by the qualification of three candl- dates.
 The applicants for three of the commis- sions which will be issued to 6l delegates from Jefferson county are N. A. Denson, John s. Lunsford and Charles K. Hall, the latter being a member of the sub committee. Each of these candidates signed the following statement: q hereby pledge myself to voks for all the nominees of the democratic and conservative, party of Alabama in such primary election of April l, and to abide by such other rules and regulations as may be pre- scribed by the said subcommittee" Each of the candidates beneath this statement gave written indications that he favors the instruction of a national delegation from Alabama to vote for the nomination of Oscar w. Underwood for the presidency as long as his name is before the Balti- more convention.
 The action of these three gentlemen yes- terday morning will probably be followed by similar action on the part of others today. It is an indication that the candi- dates from this county will be voted for as individuals and not as members of a slate. Under the authority of the state democratic executive committee the coun- ty chairman if he thinks wise may group list of 61 candidates for delegates, which group may be voted for by making cross mark at the head of the list on the ticket.
 It is not believed, however, that the county chairman will exercise that au- thority. This is due to the factc that no other candidate opposes the nomina- ton by Alabamans of Mir Underwood, and that there is no doubt but that an enthusiastic delegation will be Instructed to vote for him in Baltimore.
 Other candidates to qualify yesterday were l. N. Allinder and E. B. Knight, for ths board of revenue, and R. l.. Williams and John II. Miller for judge of the city court.

l.. CARROLL STEELE
 IS GIVEN PAROLE
Attorney General Reviews Case and Finds the Violation Was
 Technical

l.. Carroll Steele of the firm of Steele
 Miller & Co, who was sentenced to serve
 two years in the federal prison at Atlan-
 ta for alleged misconduct in connection
 with the cotton failure of Steele, Miller & Co.,. has been paroled by Attorney Cen eral Charles Wiekersham. He was in Bir- bingham a few days ago visiting his rela- lives and while here many personal friends called to pay their respects to the young man. He was convicted along with Mir. Miller of the same firm in May last
 year in connection with a technical viola
 ton of the federal postal law. He was
 given two years, while Miller was given something like seven years.
 The case of MT. Steele, it is said, was
 reviewed at length by the department of
 justice and the decision reached that the
 mistake of MT. Steele was a very far fetched technical one and that his pun ishment Of nine months served was enough. Accordingly, MT. Steele was re- leased last Saturday with 22 other mer
 and is now with his family at Corinth Miss.
 MT. Steele married Miss Hermoine Brown of this city whose brother. Will liam Brown. is widely known and popu-
 lar resident here. MT. Steele himself has a large following of friends in this city who have stoutly defended him during his entire trouble and who will be very great ly pleased to know that the department of justice has practically absolved Him from any wrong intent in connection with
 the failure of Steele. Miller & Co.,, as evil

 BIG IMPROVEMENTS
Andrews Talks of Telephone System, Double Track and
 Other Improvements

k That a telephone dlspatching system over the Alabama Great Southern divi- sion of the Queen and Crescent route was being considered by the directors of the controlling company, the South ern railway, along with a recommends ton that certain parts of the Alabama Great Southern be double tracked, was the statement of w. s. Andrews, gem eral superintendent of transportation for Birmingham yesterday. He was making a regular trip of inspection of local con ditions with other officials.
 The telephone system has been reeoul- mended by the Alabama Great Southern operating department and will cost about 5000 to install. according to MT, An drews. If passed upon favorably within the next few weeks the system will be installed in six months.
 In addition to double tracking the Ala bama Great Southern division, in line with developments that have already been made on the Cincinnati Southern, and installing the telephone dispatching sys- tenn, the Alabama Great Southern will perform other Improvements during the summer. it is stated.
 "The installation of a telephone dis patching system over the Alabama Great Southern railroad has been recommended and will, We hope, be passed upon with
 in a short time" said MT. Andrews. "fhe work, if passed upon favorably within short time may be installed in the course sof few months. It would cost some thing like $25,000. The system has been placed on the Cincinnati Southern and is far superior to telegraphing and in other ways more desirable. 1t saves an infinite amount of time, makes abso- lutey sure every message and leaves no room for doubt as to any transaction, Instant communication may be obtained over the telephone wires. The railroads of the entire country are coming to see the superiority of the telephone service and there cannot be any doubt but what eventually there will be little if any rail- road system without such a dlspatching system.
 Tn connection with the double track ing. MT. Baker, general manager, has already been quoted as having said that the matter of doing some double track work had been up before the directors of the Alabama Great Southern railroad and that the matter would be passed upon some time soon. Certain portions of the line, where traffic is congested, will be looked after first and then steps taken to relieve that situation all over the line.
 "The general business situation is lgood," continued MT. Andrews. We have as you know two additional pas senger trains through Birmingham to take care of the passenger traffic and we hope to handle trains with that serv- ice in very acceptable manner
