|DUROC-JERSEY HOGS SOLVE
 FARMERS PROBLEM, DECLARES AT THE STATE FAIR
Hog Raising Extensive Scale Dallas County Proves Profit able-Boys Pig Club of Jefferson County Makes
 Great Showing
By JOHN c. MOSES

If thoroughbred Duroc-Jersey hogs count for anything Dallas county cer- tainly is on the map. Represented at the Alabama State Fair is the West Dallas Farms of Orrville, near Selma. This enor- operated by Messrs. Dunaway and Lam bert, and produces nothing but Duroc- Jersey hogs. Its manager is R. N. Wood, who came to Alabama from Kentucky, and is a man who can talk hogs from A to z. When the writer passed his stalls, containing nearly 100 registered animals, MT. Wood had pair of clippers in his hand, putting the last touch to the coat of one of his big winners.
 "Mr. Wood I want a Duroc-Jersey story the writer said.
 Pm your man. Come over to my tent"
 He then unfolded story of one of the largest hog farms in the south.
 This is the first year we have exhib- ited," said MT. Wood, "but we came out strong and are ready to compete with the world, barring none. At the Orrville farm we have about 1000 head of Duroc- Jersey hogs. We have about 200 brood sows and several hundred gelts, and ex- pect to have about 1000 pigs farrowed this fall. In a short time we expect to have the largest Duroc-Jersey hog farm in the United States. Why shouldn't we, when we can have green pastures the year round? Last year we built 10 miles of hog fence, and by Christmas of this year will have about 15 miles more In place. We keep a fence crew busy.
 NATURAL FORAGER
 There is absolutely no argument, in my opinion. when 1t comes to the best breed of hogs. The Duroc-Jersey is a natural forager, and thrives on most any green pasture. It is a hustler and a rustler. We have hundreds of acres in soya beans, velvet beans, peas, corn and peanuts, and our enormous droves are now hogging it down and taking care of themselves. It's great combination live stock and ground builders. Cotton Forget it!
 "The climate of the south is great for the Duroc-Jersey, and our large farm an swers any argument along this line.
 "A policy strictly adhered to by Messrs. Dunaway and Lambert is the culing out of all undesirable pigs in each litter, and the placing of same in our pork pen.
 ITO show you the extent of our farm we have a dairy herd of 50 cows, the milk from which is fed to our hogs Outside of this we get 200 gallons of but termilk daily from a Selma dairy, which Is mixed with bran and other feedstuff We will add 50 more cows to our herd this fall.

THE TENSAS GAZETTE Job OFFICE.


Tensas Gazette has equipped thoroughly modern
job printing plant and is now ready to do any
form of job work We are catering especially to
high class work, such as visiting cards. Office
stationery, and all lines of commercial printing.
We have full line of select paper in stock and
will be pleased to display samples on request.
We guarantee work to have as fine finish as can
be obtained elsewhere and prices will be as
moderate as stationery market will permit
We wish, however, to make one statement
that we trust will not be miscOnstrued or miSun-
derstood. While we have gone to great expense
in establishing our job Office and wish to get all
the business possible, we want no work where
collection may be difficult The high cost of
stationery, with our limited capital forbids credit
accounts. We do not mean by this to say that
all orders from our old friends and customers
must be accompanied by cash. But we do mean
that 30 days is our limit and we trust we will
have very few accounts requiring so much time.
If we cannot collect for our work within reason
able time same will be without profit to us. as
labor and stationery, etc. must be paid for
promptly.
We also want to make another statement which
we also trust will not be misunderstood. The
price of imprinted stationery to- day is from 80 to
800 per cent above market quotations OF two
years ago. The awful war now raging in Europe
is responsible for the great shortage of paper that
has become acute throughout the United States
Fortunately labor has remained almost normal,
but prices on printed stationery must be IN keep
ing with the cost of the imprinted article. The
profit to the printer will be no greater to-day
than that obtaining before beginning of the war,
but the cost to the consumer will be considerable
more as compared to quotations before the
began.
With this announcement we offer ourselves
candidates for job printing, assuring satsfac
ton and guaranteeing prompt delivery.
