At the strides she is now making she will be known not alone in Alabama but throughout the south as the home of good cattle. good horses. mules sheep and poultry as well as the best of good people. Fifty head of high class home raised mules have been shipped from Sumter county in the past 10 days and she now reaches the high water mark by sending out this week three carloads of the very best beef cat tie ever shipped out of any county, be- cause they were the best bred, the best fed and brought perhaps the highest price of any three carloads of cattle ever sold in Alabama. They were every one bred. raised and fed in Sumter county by native Sumter county people. The cattle were high grade Herefords, An gus and shorthorns steers. from 10 months to IS months old. averaged in weight over zoo pounds, and sold for over $50 per head. weighed on the farm.

 The cattle were fed 100 days on sor- Ghum silage. oats straw. Johnson grass hay. Alfalfa, crushed corn, and cotton seed meal, every pound of feed. except cotton seed meal being raised on the farms of the sellers.
 These high class cattle were gotten by using pure bred bulls on native grade cows. the bulls, of course. being of the best, and registered in the herd books.
 If any other evidence of the advantages

 In the boil weevl district of Alabama the doom of the cotton planter is sealed, and his only hope Is in more and better live stock, better pastures, siios, oats, corn and hay.

 WORK IN FOREIGN LANDS
 The man in India worked out of Bom- bay and many times had to make long trips into the interior, accompanied by his own physician. But the Continental gin gained a foothold and is supreme in the field at the present time. In Russia agents were secured among the best classes and only recently a young Rus sian, son of a wealthy Continental agent, visited America for the purpose of get thing first hand knowledge of the manu- facture of Continental gins. This young man came to Birmingham and worked his way up through the factory in the grime and dust. Evenings he appeared in full dress and was received in the best homes of the city. He was violinist of unu- sual merit and was welcomed every- where. He reached Berlin, the home of his parents, just at the beginning of the war and has been held in detention camp ever since. A Peruvian agent of the company recently visited Birmingham for training and instruction. Cotton peo- pie from. all parts of the world are in Birmingham at one time or another to inspect Continental gins
 Russia at the present time is buying many Continental gins and the European war has had little effect upon shipments. the far eastern or Pacific ports receiving these Continental products for transporta- ton to the interior.
 It has been found necessary in many parts of South America to use mule trains to transport the ginning machin- cry across the mountains and some of the machines are shipped to these coun- tries in knocked-down shape no one piece of the whole weighing more than 15O pounds, which Is the maximum weight put upon the packmules.
