feed is made into fat and less into dry
matter. But when the fat percent
age exceed as per cent the advantage,
while still existing, becomes less in
proportion. When milk is sold on a
basis which entirely disreRards the fat
content the production of low-testing
milk is most profitable. But when,
as in most cases, the percentage OF
fat is the factor in the basis of pay
ment high percentage is desirable,
since only about thirty per cent of the
value of the extra fat is needed to pay
for the extra food; the remainder is
profit.
We have now followed the dairy ex-
perts all around Robin Hoods barn
and arrived with them on what we
have always believed-namely, that,
first, we ought to have at he head of
the herd a good bull who comes from
family having higher butterfat re-
cords than our present herd; second,
we ought to have good cows, and,
third, we must feed them we'll.
While these things are by no means
new to us, still it is fine to know that
our observations have been correct
and supported by the laws of heredity
and animal nutrition.

WHAT MAKES MILK R1cH7


Get-rich-quick schemes are always
interesting. even though only a few
persons are clever enough to make
them work. Naturally ingenious
dairyrnen have given much attention
and thought to raising the richness
Of milk in the quickest manner.
The first idea that occurs to the be-
ginner is that if you feed rations rich
in tat the butterfat contents of the
milk will 60 up, but this is not so.
At least it doesn't work commercially.
though if COW is starved till her
body is mostly skin, bones and lean
meat. the fat contents of her milk re-
spends slightly the fatty portion of
the ration. But she gives much less
milk and much less total fat even
though the milk is little richer.
In Europe. especially in Denmark,
Germany and Sweden. where the dairy
COW has been the object of study for
centuries, a great many well-establish-
ed facts have been collected on the
richness of milk. These truths which
represents the best of the worlds
knowledge on this matter were, to
our knowledge, first published in
America in Hoard's Dairyman, from
which we condense them.
Principal Hereditary Influence
!. The percentage of fat in the
milk can be best increased by judi
cious breeding.
2. A bull tends to transmit to the
heifers sired by him the same Der
centage of fat as was present in the
milk of his dam or granddam.
). To increase the richness of the
milk OF herd. use only bull from a
family of cows that propuced richer
milk than the average Of your present
herd.
4. While the influence OF both bull
and COW on the offspring are about
equal, the bull has a greater influence
because of the greater number of Off
spring that he has.
5. The quantity of butterfat de-
pends as much on the quantity of milk
as upon its richness, and this should
be considered in consulting records
and selecting breeding animals.
Relations of Fat to the Feed and to
Other Constituents in Milk
Milk is about seven parts water and
one part dry matter. For a given
richness of milk the amount Of fat
bears an absolutely definite relation
to the total dry matter.
Rich milk. however. does not have
as much dry matter in proportion to
the fat as low-testing milk. This fact
is independent Of breeds, feed and
period of lactation.
In two per cent milk the total dry
matter is FIVE times as great as the to-
tai butterfat. whereas in six per cent
milk the dry matter is only two and
one-half times as great. In other
words, the higher the test, the more

THERE are few better known or more
popular business men in Birmingham
than Wallace C. Johns, who for number
OF years, has conducted one of the leading
undertaking establishments not only of this
city but the entire south
The leading funeral directors of Birming-
ham operate their establishments on very
high plane, and in this regard Mr.. Johns
measures fully up to the standard. In fact.
it has been his work and example which has
largely contributed to the present status
enjoyed by the leaders of this important
line Of work.
Mr. Johns is Birmingham boy, and is
one of the comparatively few who is a
native of this city He is a son of the late
Colonel l.. w. Johns, one of the first pion-
eers and man who foresaw Birmingham
great future many years ago.
Colonel Johns plays very important part
in the history Of this district, and his, son
is naturally in close and intimate relation
ship with present day affairs.
The younger Johns was born on June 80 1882 Just
little less than thrty-two years ago He was edu-
Gated first ir the local schools and later attended
military academy, where he acquitted himself with
honor. He then returned to Birmingham and spent
three years at the Birmingham Medical college,
where he made rapid progress He decided before
his school term completed that the medical pro-
fesson did not hold the attraction for him that a
business would have and in he purchased
a fourth interest in the Green Undertaking company
which was at that time of the largest and most
successful concerns in the city
Mr. Johns made a thorough study of the undertake
ing business and spent considerable time and money
in visiting the principal cities of America and Europe

An indication of the esteem and good faith in
which Mr.. Johns is held by his brother funeral direc
tors is plainly shown in the fact that he is a past
president of the Funeral Directors association and
takes very prominent part in the deliberations Of
that body.
Mr. Johns family history is as interesting as his
business His father, Col L. W. Johns was
native of Wales, having been born that island in
1S49 He came to America early in life and for a
number of years was with United States mining
corps in Yellowstone park. 1t then that he
learned much about mineral and mining conditions,
and soon after he came to Alabama, and for twenty
years was the leader in the development of this dis

MANY BEAUTIFUL
CEMETERIES HERE
Resting Places for Dead
Among Most Beautiful
in Country

birmingham is known throughout the
south as the city of beautiful cemeteries.
They who have been gathered to their
Fathers sleep the last sleep amid such
scenes as fittingly pay tribute to their
lives. In some of the cemeteries of the
city are the finest monuments in the
south and splendid tombs have been erect
ed to hundreds of the more prominent
men and women who died since the city
became a metropolis.
The Oldest cemetery of all of them, of
course, is Oak Hill. In this cemetery are
buried some of the most famous men and
women in Alabama and the relatives of
families who come from every portion of
the country. 1t was only short time
ago that the cemetery which has no more
plots for sale, opened its portals to ad-
NIT to their last resting place the three
relatives of William Mckinley. who We're
southerners and died in the south.
The largest cemetery of all is Elmwood,
which is situated in one of the most beau-
tiful sections of the city. This ceme-
terry is noted not only for its beautiful
monuments, its floral gardens and its
splendid site, but also for the magnificent
driveways which pass throughout it. 1t
is daily the visiting place of hundreds of
people. 1t is more than 275 acres in ex-
tent.
The Forest Hill cemetery is famous for
its artificial lakes This cemetery was
formerly Woodlawn. 1t is more than 100
acres in extent. In both these cemeteries
the grass is always kept growing green
through a provision of the charter, which
provides that 10 per cent of the price paid
for each burial lot shall go to the upkeep
and beautifying of the grounds.
This trust has been studously en-
forced that it is said there is no other
cemetery in the south kept more beauti-
fully year by year.
The city and vicinity has several other
smaller cemeteries. all known for their
beauty and their appropriateness as the
homes of the departed.
