FARMER ADVERTISERS.

In looking over our exchanges we
have noticed that in practically every
part Of the country the farmer is
beginning to advertise in the news
papers. At this season of the year,
in every country printing office, it is
the custom to reprint the poster, or
part of it, as an advertisement. We
do not refer to that custom. The ad
vertisements to which reference is
made are especially written and set
to 60 in two or three column space.
This means that the farmer is
awakening to the value of newspaper
advertising. He puts his announce
ment in the home paper, where he
knows it will be seen by everyone in
terested in the Forthcoming sale. He
knows that it will be read carefully,
for the paper is taken into the home
and perused at leisure. He knows
that he will get complete and perfect
publicity and that it will be worth
all that the editor charges him. Other
things being equal, the farmer who
advertises his sale in the newspa-
pers will have larger buying crowd
at his sale than if he merely stuck
up a few posters. The posters are
all right in their way, but they should
be supplemented with newspaper ad-
vertising.
In this respect, the farmer is point
ing way to the old-fashioned mer-
chant. The farmer buys advertised
goods. Therefore, he has come to
realize the value of advertising. The
merchant who is complaining about
bad business or hard times should
take a leaf from the farmers book
and do some advertising himself.

food materials that were wasted be-
cause there was not a good enough
market in sight to warrant gathering
them. They rotted in the ground.
Take potatoes, Tor instance. All
Americans are familiar with the fact
that potatoes have a way of alternat-
ing between excessively large and ex-
cessively small yields. In the year Of
great yields prices are low. Millions
of tons go to waste because it does
not pay to gather them. It is so with
nearly all the other vegetables and
fruits. Until some way is discovered
by which vegetables and fruits gath
cred in bumper years can be pre-.
served at a small cost and kept to re.
lieve the shortage in fresh food in
lean years, prices will be high.

FEBRUARY WEATHER REPORT.

The monthly meteorological sum-

month of February, 1916, issued from
the local offices, United States
weather bureau, shows that cold win
try weather prevailed during the first
IL days and was broken by a strong
chinook on February 13, which pro-
duced warm, spring-like weather with
temperatures above the seasonable
average until February 20, when a
cold wave swept over this section, ac-
companied by snow.
The mean temperature for the
month was IA degrees, which is about
one degree below the normal. The
highest temperature was 40 degrees
on the 14th and the lowest was 2H
degrees below zero on February 8
making an absolute monthly range
of n degrees. The highest temper
ature for this month, taken from 36
years of record, was 63 degrees or
February 28, 1905, and the lowest for
the same period was SIS degrees below
zero on February 3, 1887. The total
precipitation for the month was O.41
inches. This is the normal for this
month and is equivalent to AZ inches
of snow. 0.3 inches of snow lay or

Jefferson County
Association Organized

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 16. :
A large and enthusiastic gather
ing of good roads advocates and
boosters of Birmingham and JEFF
ferson county assembled in the
Chamber of Commerce Friday
afternoon, Dec. 18th, and per-
fected the organization of the
Jefferson County Branch of the
Bankhead Highway Association
by electing j. B. Elliott, Presi-
dent; c. G. Burke, First Vice
President; B. higgins, Second
Vice President; J. B. Roundtree,
Secretary, and fifteen leading
citizens of the county as mem
bers Of the Executive Committee.
1t was decided to secure at
least one thousand members in
Jefferson county and do every
thing possible to help promote,
establish and maintain this great
highway. A special committee
was appointed to confer with the
State Highway Commission, Fed
eral authorities and the Board of
Revenue of Jefferson county in
regard to securing funds to build
the Bankhead Highway.
There are three routes for the
Bankhead Highway proposed
from Birmingham to Jasper, and
two routes proposed and advoca-
ted from Birmengham through
Jefferson county en- route to At
lanta. The rivalry and interest
in locating this highway is quite
keen. 1t will require the Official
Scouting party to go over the
respective roads in Jefferson
county to decide which one will
be the real Bankhead Highway. |

to 30 pounds of silage (if you
have it) and a liberal quantity
of grain feed. We would sug.
gest one pound of a mixture such
as, Cottonseed meal, wheat
shorts, rice bran, rice polish,
corn meal, dried distillers grains,
etc. for each three pounds ot
milk produced daily. A COW can
not eat enough hay and other
coarse rough feeds to supply all
the nutriments needed to sup
port the body and also a good
flow of milk, it is too bulky, her
stomach will not hold enough of
this kind of feed.
Approximately two-thirds of a
full ration, when consumed by a
good dairy COW, is used to main
tain her body, the remaining
one-third is used for producing
milk. If you only feed her two
thirds, or less, of a full ration
she will use this feed for herself
and you will get little or no re-
turns at the pail. This is espe-
cially true of cows giving as
much as II gallons. and msre, Of
milk daily. You are losing mon
ey if you are just half feeding
your cows.
In many sections of Mississip-
pi this year crops were very poor
but you can't afford to sit down
and grieve on that account.
Now is the time to make prepa-
rations for your next winters
supply of feed. Grow all the
hay and silage you will need for
your cows next winter. You
should try to grow from II to Is
bushels of corn for each COW in
your herd. Also grow a large

Don't Fail to Feed
Your Cows Literally
To the Dairy Farmer:

To the Dairy Farmer
In going over the state we
find that there are a number of
farmers who are not feeding
their cows anything, giving them
the run of the fields to pick up
their living. Others are only
feeding a small quantity of hay.
Cows which are being handled
in the above ways will soon be
dry, if not already so, and have
to be carried through the winter
on expensive feeds and will give
little or no returns for same.
This practice is a serious mis-
take. We realize that feeds
which have to be bought are
very high in price but at the
same time butterfat is exception
ally high this winter which will
serve to counteract the high feed
cost. Butterfat is now selling
for about 43 cents per pound
which is the highest we have
known it to be. At the above
price it will pay well to keep the
cows giving a full flow of milk.
The farmer who has fed his cows
a full, well balanced ration has
COWS which have held up in milk
flow and is coming some money
this winter. Are you getting
any of the money from this high
priced butterfat or have you let
all your cows go dry by not feed
ing them properly? If you have
