BREEDERS give
!. GOOD REPORT
Experiment Tried by New Salem
Farmers Proves Big
Success.

Report of the North Dakota Hols-
tein Breeders Circuit is given IN Bulle-
tin No. 109, North Dakota Experiment
Station. A history is first given Of the
Circuit and how and when it came to
be established. The object in starting
it was the making of a study of the re-
suits of certain blood combinations to
determine which strains constituted
high yielding families. The United
States Department Of Agriculture and
the North Dakota Experiment Station
co.operated in starting the Circuit
while the farmers at New Salem join
ed in the enterprise. The reason for
selecting New Salem was that the far
mers there had already made a start
in the raising of H~olsteins and they
had also made4sa success of dairying
and of running their local creamery.
In order to secure the right kind of
records it is necessary to weigh the
milk from each milking and to keep
milk from each and to keep track of
the feed consumed. In order to see
that this was carried out properly a
field superintendent, who at present Is
u. J. Downey, was employed to visit
the farms every month. He also adj
vises as to the feeding, the care, i'm
proving the barns, and a host of other
things. :.
The Bulletin includes the records of
each COW of each herd from the years
1910, 1911, 1912 and 1881 A study Of
T. SO records brings out the fact that
duG.ng the first two years some of the
cows were kept at a loss. The records
made it possible to weed these out SO
that during the last two years none of
the COWS has shown a loss. In fact
they have all shown a good profit. The
first year the returns from the cows
varied from a profit of $40 to a loss
of a little over $40. The only way that
these exact facts were secured was by
keeping track Of the feed fed and the
milk returned.
The farmers who settled about New,
Salem tried grain growing but this did
not bring success. They then tried
raising cattle and this brought fail re-
turns 50 that they could begin paying
of the mortgages. The prices receiv-
ed for the butter made on the farm
were not very satisfactory. The next
step was establishing of a creamery.
Since then these farmers have had a
good income and during such years
as 1910 ard 1911 when the rest of the
state was without 2 crop these New
Salem dairymen had, about as good re-
turns from their .co%s as in. the more

Italy, Spain, Germany, Holland and
England, with a total population of
$4,000, 900, there is consumed less
than $4,000 pounds of opium annually,
while the United States with a popula-

ton 45.48 per cent are habitual drug
users. 1t has long been known that
the majority of sure cures on the
market contain more or less opium

that these lull the senses and give to
the sufferer the feeling that he is he

only burning his boats and depriving
him of the last chance for recovery.

Consumption Cures have been
among the chief transgressors in this
respect and II the bill do nothing more
than stop this criminal deception and
lessen the indiscriminate distribution
Of such nostrums, it will be worth
while. There is nothing in the law
that would indicate a desire to limit
the sale Of habit forming drugs intend
ed for legitimate use, but 1t is intend
ed to prohibit the sale and traffic in
them for illicit purposes. 1t limits
their sale only to the extent of making
each transaction a matter Of record.

JACK I. STALL|NGS
BACK FROM CAPITAL
Has Been Fighting Bill
Limiting Salary of Court
Reporter to $500

Jack t. stallings returned to Bir-
nipgham yesterday from Montgomery,
where he has been waging a fight on
the proposed court reporters bill.
which, If passed, will limit the salary
of all court reporters to $500 per an
mum.
IF the proposed bill goes through, "
said Stallings, "it will be the death
knell to every court reporter in the
state. The provisions of the bill are
that a court reporter be provided for
every judge during the term of court
throughout the state
& "The contention of the court report
I ersl is that the remuneration is totally
inadequate and that 1t would be an
utter impossibility for any man, no
matter how proficient he may be, to
take down all the testimony in every
case and then transcribe it. Court con-
venes at $3.50 during the term here
and adjourns at o'clock. A reporter
taking down every word of testimony
during that time would be very tired
by the time court adjourned. Then ii
would be necessary for him to sit down
at a typewriter and transcribe all he
had written. This would take an expert
three times as long to write it out as
it took him to write it down in short
hand The worlds record at the pres
emit time is two and one-half times t.
one. At this rate the poor court re-
porter would have to work night and
day and the natural result would be
his sudden demise.
"The bill also stipulates that the man
who uses transcript in the event he
takes an appeal, shall pay into the
county treasury the sum of 10 cents
per hundred words. So as a matter Of
fact the proposed legislation works a
hardship on no one but the court re-
porter and does the litigant no good
Whatsoever Even if the court repor er
had an assistant after he had pro-
cured the appointment of official re-
porter 1t would be necessary for him
TO pay a competent man at least $500
per year, thus 1t can be seen that the
hill is of no good to anyone and will
undoubtedly be the means of depriving
q great many men who have made court
reporting their profession, of legiti-
mate livelihood.
at may be possible for the bill TO
work to an advantage in some counties
where court is only in session aboL-
two or three months of the year. But
in the larger counties where court is
at the present time in session nina
months out of the IL. and will be in
session from 10 to II months out of
the year when the Circuit court plan.

bill, 200 of them signed it. This shows
that even the legal profession Is nos
in favor of the passage of the bill, ari
that 1t cannot help anyone and only
hurt the business of the court re-
p6rters"

BIG CROWD ATTENDS
OPENING OF EXHIBIT
OF LOCAL PRODUCTS
Enthusiasm and Surprise
Expressed by Those Who
See for First Time What
Has Been Done

An exceptionally large crowd be-
tween the hours of and 10 o'clock last
night passed through the five-story
building at First avenue and Nine
teenth street where the formal opening
of the Birmingham manufacturers per-
manent exhibit has been located This
opening was considered a complete
success from every viewpoint.
The attendance was very good and
the enthusiasm and surprise expressed
by those who saw for the first time
the display booths of the many pro-
ducts manufactured In Birmingham
the feature of the evening. Music was
furnishd by Memoli's band and there
were souvenirs and refreshments for
every visitor.
AS the crowds came in they were
taken to the top floor of the building
on the elevator and then permitted to
walk through each floor of the build
ing until the ground floor again was
reached and the entire building ex-
plored. Many of the exhibitors them
selves gave souvenirs of the occasion.
From now on the exhibit will be
open every day of the week except
Sunday, and visitors, both local and
out town, will always be welcome,
states j. III. Edmondson, manager. THE
exhibit cannot be a success, of course
said Mr. Edmondson, unless people
come to see 1t, for that Is what 1t Is
here for. From the way things start
ed off tonight, however. 1t seems we
will always have plenty of visitors and
that is what we want"
The purpose of the exhibit is to show
out-of-tdwn visitors what is made in
Birmingham and give them concrete idea
of the industries of the town. and to show
Birmingham people what is made here and
thus encourage them to buy and use
Birmingham manufactured products. 1t
is believed the exhibit will be an enormous
aid to the trade-in- Birmingham move
ment, and to this end everything possible
will be DONE
While all the space in the building has
not been taken, officials of the associa-
ton formed to maintain the exhibit last
night were very we'll pleased. President
John Shelby states that the success of
the undertaking Is more than he even
hoped for, and it's permanency is assured.
The officials feel that from time to time
additional local manufacturers will take
over booths in the exhibit building and
in the course of a few months they ex-
pect to have 1t completely filled.
The great amount of work and care
which has been used by the different ex-
hibitors in making their booths attractive,
novel and instructive Is one of the features
of the exhibit Every booth Is in a way
a sort of art creation all of its own, and
the whole presents very pleasing appear
ance.
On the top floor of the building arrange
ments have been made for convention
hall and dining room, with a kitchen adj
Joining, so that many of the semi-civic
organizations of the city which are In
the habit of having weekly or semi-month-
ly luncheon meetings are expected to use
this place in the future.
