TENANTS PAID OLD DEBTS
BY DIVERSIFIED FARMING
Alabama County Is Better Oft
Since Abandoning Its Old
Methods

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. IA. Ia
Kimbrough. of the state department of
agriculture, who recently returned to the
capitol from a weeks stay in Talla-
poosa county, reports wonderful prog
ress in the development of diversified
farming in that section, and in the in
dustrial progress and prosperity of
Alexander City.
There will be a great reduction in
cotton acreage this year, said MI -.
Kimbroueh, indications being that 1t
will be cut down by 80 per cent. Only
about half a normal crop was made
the past year, and this. too, in spite or
the fact that the boil weevil did not
completely conquer the county. Talla-
poosa county farmers already have been
practicing diversified farming on an in
creasingly large scale, and the prospects
for cotton in 1917 are so depressing
that there is sure to be a wide spread
in the diversified farming movement.
Instead of giving up at the accumu-
lation of troubles brought on by boil
weeviIs, floods war and other evils of
recent years, Tallapoosa county farm
ers have begun the cultivation of velvet
beans and peanuts and theraising of cat
tie and hogs. l.. A. Nolen and Sidney
Herzfeld have been among the fore
most of the farmers in the county in
bringing in blooded cattle, and others
are following their lead. Cary Harlan

school, made 500 gallons of sorghum

along the line of the Great Northern in
Montana, the company has put in a
new and reduced rate which is already
effective. Notification of this reduced
rate has been received by Charles D..
Greenfield, commissioner of agricul-
ture and publicity.
The new rate makes a reduction
from points east on the Great North
ern to Glasgow of S2.20 a ton. To
Havre and that country the reduction
is $1.80 a ton. West of Havre to
Great Falls and Billings the reduction
is $3.50 a ton. The reduction is very

the reason that investigation has con-

the foregoing, we earnestly request
that you do formulate and introduce
such legislation as will prevent the
defaulting and foreclosure of incum-
brances of all kinds against the prop
erty of all persons in the military serv-
ice and thereby prevent loan COM

SC0URS In YOUNG ANIMALS
Generally Result Of Overlooking OF
Use Of UncIean UtensiIs-Best
to Reduce Feed.

Scours in our animals is generally
the result Of overfeeding or feeding
from unclean troughs or buckets OF
from feeding food that is stale. Milk
fed to calves should either always be
sweet, or always be sour. If it is one
thing one time and the other the next,
it will result in scours.
The buckets should be as carefully
scalded out as are the pals in which
the milking Is done.
Musty or bin-burned grain should not
be fed, particularly to young animals.
When the calf gets too much milk
or the young pig gets too much feed,
we have scours, possibly thumps in
the pig.
The best remedy is to reduce the
amount of feed, clean up the troughs
and buckets, and give a good dose of
castor oil. Two ounces is a dose for
calf, and from teaspoonful to a des-
sertspoonful to a growing pig, accord
ing to its size.
