various farms In Alabama will be well
represented at the fair, according to en-
tries already made, and 1T appears that
the Wyandottes will come next in the
number and variety of native birds to
be exhibited. There will be strong classes
in the Leghorns, Plymouth Rocks and
Rhode Island Reds, as well as Houdans.
Indian Games and other snowy varieties.
Special efforts will be made this year
to give the Bantams prominence and to
bring together the largest collection of
these little beauties eyer shown in Ala
bama. They will be given a good place
near the entrance of the main poultry
exhibit hall and a COED number Of birds
in this class have already been entered,
guaranteeing remarkable display. The
Barred Rock Bantam, something entirely
new. will be exhibited by w. j. Root of
Ensley who has a number of these rare
fowls.
The Swine Department
The immense increase in interest that
is being taken in the breeding of blooded
swihe is shown by the fact that in 1907
there We're but 26 head shown in the
swine department at the State Fair while
last year the number had been increased
to $50, and this year it is expected to
&.
The growth in quality has been great.
The total value of these exhibits runs
away into the thousands of dollars, and
the premiums and cash prizes are more
numerous and larger than ever before.
NJ. c. Algood of Oneonta, who is super
intendent of this department, has the dis
tinction of never having case of cholera
in his department in the years 1t has
been under his management. Last year
all of the hogs exhibited were inoculated
against cholera with serum furnished by
the agricultural department at Washing
ton, through the efforts of the late Sena-
tor Joseph F. Johnston. 1t will probably
be so arranged that the treatment may
be given free again this year, and Mr..
Algood is working toward this end
Scarcely less notable is the. increase in
interest observed in the dairy and beef
cattle departments of the State Fair w.
e. Matthews is superintendent of the live
stock exhibits and he says that the show
in that department will surpass any past
efforts. at the fair. Special precautions
will be taken to prevent the tick evil or
other cattle pests and this department
will be kept in the best possible sanitary
condition and thoroughly disinfected.

1t is near this strip, where rubber joins
with fabric, that loosened treads occur. 1t
has cost tire users millions of dollars.
The "rivet" fabric is our breaker strip.
Note the openings in it. We force the tread
rubber down through these openings, so
hundreds of large rubber rivets are formed to
prevent tread separation. Then the whole
tire is vulcanized en- masse. This is one of
the biggest of Goodyear economies, and no
other maker can use it.
