Ticks and Milk Production

It is we'll recognized fact by those who are in position to know that COWS free of ticks produce much more milk than those not free. Carefully compiled records show that COWS that are only lightly infected produce nearly a fifth less than free cows, and that those heav- fly infected produce on an average a lit tie over 42 per cent less milk than sim liar cows free from ticks.
 In test carried on by the federal department a herd of 20 lightly licked cows produced g quarts less milk ser day than 20 tick free cows of the same kind. Twenty heavily licked cows pro- duced 67 quarts a day less than 20 tick free cows
 The following record of a dairyman who found it pays well to get cattle free of ticks will be interesting. He was in heavily infested territory, and one week after dipping his herd of 42 cows gave 10 gallons of milk day more. He sold the milk for S5 eapts a gallon. and there fore secured $SsS0 more per day from the herd from one dipping.

Hampshire Purchase

A herd of 1OS pure-bred Hampshire hogs has been purchased by the Pratt vile Stock Farm. Judge c. E. Thomas, president. and Carl Adams, manager. at Prattville. Ala, from John J. Shaffer. Ellendale, La, one of the best-known and most successful breeders of Hamp- shires in the country.
 The herd consists of boars, sows and gilts, the greater portion of the young stock having been s1red by Paulsen' 5 Model, g boar that cost MT. Shaffer $S00 Included also in the purchase is the herd boar Prince Tipton and 10 yearling boars weighing about 400 pounds each.
 Judge Thomas and MT. Adams learned that MT. Shaffer had been drafted for army service and that probably his erd of Hampshires would be for sale. MT. Adams immediately went to Ellendaie and purchased the entire herd, which has been carried to the Prattville Stock Farm
 Several years ago MT. Shaffer went to Louisiana to raise Hampshires and the foundation stock which he carried there represented some of the best blood of the breed. He was very successful in his op- erations and the fine quality of his Hampshires is generally recognized.
 The purchase of MT. Shaffer's entire herd by the Prattville Stock Farm Is te- lieved to have been the largest deal in pure-bred hogs ever made in the south.
 The PrattviIle Stock Farm already was an extensive Hampshire breeding estab- lishment with high reputation. and the addition of the great nerd bought from MT. Shaffer makes it one of the largest pure-bred hog farms in the country.

Sale of Herefords

The N. J. Bell estate, Calhoun.

The Herefords sold were bred by the Bell estate and the pllr- chase of them for the Memphis farm is a tribute to the high quality of the Bell estate Herefords. There will be an ex- hibit of these Herefords at the live stock show in Montgomery.

Cheap But Good
By WRs. E. E. WILKES


 Here is a recipe which I use often for Sunday company dinner. I buy piece of common round steak, having 1t cut 1jz inch thick. Chop well on each side and in both directions, with cleaver or sharp butcher knife. Salt well and work into the meat almost pint of flour, or as much as you can. Have a large. desp spider on hot stove with perhaps two tablespoons of lard. Put the meat into this and fry brown on both sides: now stick eight or 10 cloves into the meat, sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over it, and add tablespoon of vinegar. Add enough water to almost cover the meat and sim mer gently for two or three hours, add ing water as necessary.
 No one needs 10 dread the high prices of meat. when such oeiicious dish may be had for half the price of an ordinary roast It is very convenient to serve for 1t doesn't need a het fire. after the water Is added and the gravy Is already made. So one can easily go to church or entertain friends. and not be bothered with watching the meat. And I'll guar antee that the meat will be tender

by local applications, rs they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness. and that il by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness 10 caused
by an inflaDed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result. Unless the Inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases Of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh. which is an
iDflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru
the blood Oh the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
