Hogs Convert Alfalfa Into Big Profits

During the recent farmers
 Short Course of Agriculture,
 Prof. W. S. Cunningham, Assist
 ant Animal Husbandman, pre- scented figures indicating the re suits to be expected per acre of alfalfa when raised by hogs.
 He stated that, according to investigations in the Salt River Valley the net annual returns
 per acre of alfalfa, yielding six
 tons, when sold as hay were not
 over S1O.CO. The net returns for
 similar acre of alfalfa when
 grazed off by twelve hogs, were
 S47.23. These hogs were fed a
 supplement ration of grain, but
 the value of this was determined
 and deducted. In other words
 the net returns for the alfalfa
 alone when marketed as gain in
 weight of hog were more than
 four times greater than when
 alfalfa was sold as baled hay.
 The foregoing figures show a
 large difference in favor of feed
 ing the alfalfa to hogs, or allow
 ing the hogs to graze it of.
 However in this calculation an important item was left out-that of manure. In the production of a hay crop plant food in the soil is taken up by the plant Then the crop is removed and sold as hay, the plant food, which was taken from the soil, is lost. However, it has been determined that in feeding this hay and other feeds to live stock only 10 per cent to 20 per cent of it's plant food or fertilizing value is lost from the farm; that is from so per cent to 90 per cent of the fertilizing valoe of the hay is returned to the soil in the form of excrete- mentS (urine and manure)
 Dr.. A. E. Vinson, Biochemist 1 of the Agricultural Experiment | StatiOn,l states that the fertiliz- | ing ingredients in a ton of barn | yard manure are worth S2. 50. l according to price of | fertilizers On this 1 basis the value of the hog man l ure as dropped over the field | must be at least $500 per ton. that S5 per cent of the six tons of alfalfa was returned | as manure to the soil there were then five tons of manure, worth $500 per ton, or S15.OO. This added to S47.23 would be S62. B the net gain per acre of alfalfa when grazed off by twelve hogs, as against 5000 which is the net gain per acre when the alfalfa is cured and sold as baled hay.
 The above statements, says A. l.. Paschall, Farm Advisor for Cochise and Santa Cruz counties of the Agricultural Ex- tension Service and U. s. De- oartment of Agriculture, form a argument in favor of more livestock. They show the reason why the farmers who practice good system of rota- 5ion, produce forage and other ,eed crops and raise livestock to consume them, are succeeding while the hay-producing farm ers who sell their products as lay are meeting with failure md Encouragement.

OPPOSES MAKING OF' COSTLY EXPERIMENT.
Rogers of Sumter Tells Why He Is Against Printing
 Plant Bill
By L. g. BETTY

Montgomery. September 13.-(Special.) '1 do not think we have any moral right although the law clothes us with author ity. to appropriate the sum of s2o0000 that the state may invest 1t in a venture which is at best a doubtful experiment.
 This declaration was made by Repre- sentative John Rogers of Sumter coun- ty in statement he gave to the press this afternoon outlining the reasons for his opposition to the Jones printing bill, which passed the senate last week.
 Representative Rogers, in answering the argument that California has printing plant, declared that the plant was estab- lished in that state from necessity Tt was never thought that 1t would be a saw ing of money or of real benefit as an income earner," he said, "but 1t was a necessity, without which the state could not obtain books, except at an exorbitant cost" He declared the same reason for the establishment of the California print ing plant held good in Nevada.
 MT. Rogers declared that the fact that only three states in the union had estab- lished printing plants was sufficient to show that the idea was not considered worthy of consideration by the other states.
 He discusses the bill in detail, pointing out what he considers absurdities. He declares that the money asked will be q "breach-loading revolving fund, fund which will destroy every public man in Alabama who lends his aid and assistance to this wild, eocialistic scheme of the senator from Barbour"

|SEWANEE TIGERS BEGIN PRACTICE
Followers of Cope Expect Team to Bid Strong For
 Championship

Chattanooga. September 13-(Spec!al.) In making your preseason choice of the 1915 football champions of Dixie. don't forget the purple Tigers of ss- vance. If reports which have cmanated from the mountain lair of the Junga- leers are to be discounted Us much as 2o per cent Harris Cope's protcses stiil look like an even bet against the field sot n vf the Mason and Dixon line.
 Very little has been heard So far con- earning the Tigers prospccss. but fol- lowers of the Purple entertain the opln- ion that the silence which now pre-, ails will soon be discovered to be decidedly ominous--in short. the lull eefore tho storm.
 The censors on the mountain are de-
 letting all dispatches beyond doubt but the fact that 45 Tigers have been at work for the past three weeks ss no
 l.iIscr denied and among that group some of the finest football material that ever wore the Royal Purple is said to DC found
 As matter of fact, Cope inherits a cracking good eleven from last season. Tue o,iy varsity men who arc missing from the 1914 machine are TJlIcy and Parker. Of this pair the 5ll-southern quarter alone is a serious loss. Parker never proved to be the tower of strength which he was generally supposed to be-
 Followers of the purple xho. are ja position to know assert that the shoes or the great Tolley are already filled and in addition that there is material on hand that will make a number of last years regulars work like aades to hold their own jobs. Lack of reserve material will not be one of Copes wor- ries this fall
 Reports received from Vanderbilt Geor- Gia and Auburn encourage Sewanes sup porters in this neck of the woods as much as the proof of their own strength Over at Nashville McGugin faces tke task of building up championship eleven almost entirely from green material Georgia has lost the great McWhorter; Mike Donahue at Auburn loses no less than 10 regulars from last years eleven. Tech, Tennessee and the Tigers--thcse are destined to be the big three In south ern football circles this fall according to the outlook from the local angle. Both Tect and Tennessee have their l91f teams practically intact in addition to great deal of new material. Tiger supporters arc far from anxious. however. to change their chances for those of any other in- stitution.
 In addition to having the greatest amount of material which he has pos- sessed in some several years, Harris Cope this fall will have his henchm .n in better condition. As before stated, the entire squad has already been out triee weeks and with Phillips on hand to aid the north Georgia wizard the Tigers today would need but little advance mo- tice 10 pry open the season.

 Benefit in Commercial Way
 This is the benefit of an auditorium in . general way. You know the benefit from commercial way, by having the fa- cilities for public gatherings and con- ventions. so nothing further may be said on this point
 Take the question at its present stage and I believe the present committee of the Board of Trade. or special commit tee should first look into the possibility of securing the Metropolitan Opera Co.,, not that 1t is necessary to do so, that we may build an auditorium. but as an incen- tive. If they get favorable reply, they should select a location, invite tentative designs and plans of the building, adopt ing one of the plans. if found feasible, and select one of the competent archi- tects who have submitted their plans. The clearing of the property and possi- bly the excavation can be started. and this can be done during the time that 1t will require the vote upon the issue of the bonds and right here. why can't we interest the state and county and military organizations in making this building an armory as we'll as an auditorium?
 Now the above outline needs but cne more effort, and that must be the help of our public spirited and influential men and corporations of means to guarantee to the committee to stand behind them in the preliminary work that must be set on foot now, so that a building for an audi torium and armory may be ready for tho operatic season next May.

l. & N. ENGINEER SAYS TANLAC GAVE
 PROMPT RELIEF
T Am Not Bothered Any More With My Kidneys"
 He Says in Statement

One of the most noteworthy features in connection with the introduction of Tanlac in this city has been the very large number of railroad men who have been benefited by it's use. Prominent de- partmental officials. conductors. en- gineers, office clerks. in fact, men rep resenting practically every branch of the service have reported that they have used Tanlac with the most satis- factory and gratifying results. One of the last to testify is T. G. Ayers, resid- ing at 107 Raines avenue. Nashville. MT. Ayers has been in the service of the L. & N. for a number of years, and is one of the most popular engineers run ming out of Nashville.
 He gaid 'I have suffered principally from kidney trouble and nervousness, my appetite was poor and my color very bad. I had fearful pains in my back and had other symptoms that troubled me a great deal. My rest was broken for there was never night in the world but what l would have to get up six or seven times.
 Since taking Tanlacf my skin has cleared up, and I am in good shape in every way. am not bothered any more with my kidneys. and although l have only used two bottles of Tanlac, l have gained seven pounds in weight. My ap- petite is good now and enjoy my meals. l. certainly do recommend Tanlae to any one suffering with kidney trou- ble nervousness and loss of appetite"
 Referring to MT. Ayers statement, MT. G. F. Willis, southern distributor of Tan lac, said:
 MT. Ayers has evidently been suffer ing from standardization and not from organic kidney trouble, as he supposed. This condition. as has been previously stated, is nothing more nor less than the slow, self-poisoning of tho vital organs, produced by indigestion or non- assimilation of the food, which renders the organs lame and inactive. and per mits toxins-actual poisons-to be gen. erated in ones own body"
 Tanlac, the powerful reconstructive tonic, overcomes those troubles by puri- flying the system and invigorating the digestive organs. It builds up the sys- tenn, creates a healty appetite, vital izes the blood and makes you feel strong, sturdy and we'll as nature in- tended you to be.
 Tanlac Is sold in Birmingham ex- clusively by Patton Pope Drug Co and Jacobs drug store under the personal direction of the Tanlac representative It is also on sale in Bessemer by the Pegram-Patton Drug company, and in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug company Adv.

 Chicago Sentiment Toward South To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 On account of strenous efforts on the part of certain misguided inviduals to arraign the people of Chicago as a whole for a scathing editorial issued by one editor of the Chicago Tribune regarding the Frank case in Georgia. we wish to present to you for publication in your columns, If you see fit, a letter of pro- test written by one of the representative citizens of Chicago to the Chicago Tri- bune the same day that this editorial appeared in print which we know to rep resent the opinion of large proportion of those residing in the city of Chicago.
 This arraignment by the Tribune of a whole people for the faults of a few is a sample of yellow journalism of as low an order as we have ever seen in print and has been SO designated by thousands of people in Chicago.
 Very truly yours

 Editor Chicago. Tribune:
 Dear Sir:-While no one deplores and condemns more than I do the act of the mob that murdered Leo M Frank, and those of the south or north who support that act. I cannot think that your edi- torial in this mornings paper has done Justice to either, north or south.
 I do not believe that the north thinks that the south is half educated or that 1t is "a region of illiteracy, blatant self. righteousness, cruelty and violence.''
 You cannot indict a whole people, or whole region.
