 Matt Vim of Hale county Alabama carried off honors in the sheep depart ment June 19, when we sold for him 95 head of lambs averaging 71 pounds at sl9.50 per hundredweight These were his own raising. Among the total re- ceipts of $500 sheep and lambs that day, this was the only load of lambs to bring more than sl9. This event marks an unusual and notable achievement for southern stock of this class
 It pays southern farmers to raise lambs
 This fact was emphasized when one of Montgomery county's live stock produce CTS, Uncle Jack Taylor, carried eight lambs and two sheep to Montgomery in his wagon. The best price he was able to get from the local butcher, where he had sold all his previous stock, was s70 for wagon load of 10 head He de- cided to try Montgomery's new market and he was offered $5 more, or $75 for the wogon load of 10 head. After re- fusing this he proceeded to the Union Stock Yards and had his sheep and lambs sold on the market

u. S. JUDGE RULES
ON RAILROADLAW
MIDLAND DECISION MAY
AFFECT OTHER ROADS.
Court Holds That Employees Are Not
Entitled to Pay for Preparatory
Time" Under the Adamson
Eight-Hour Law.

Engine hostlers and railroad yard
masters are not engaged directly in
the operations of trains and are not
entitled TO compensation under the pro-
visions of the Adamson act; nor are
firemen, engineers, brakemen and con-
ductors entitled to pay for ''prepara-
tory time according to an opinion by
William L. Dayton, special master in
the Colorado Midland railroad receiv-
ership proceedings, which was sus-
tained this week in Denver by Judge
Robert Z. Lewis Of the United States
district court.
The decision is one of the most i'm
portant rendered in connection with
the Adamson act in the United States,
and defines for the first time the rail
road employees who are entitled to
compensation under the act. The de-
cision follows an appeal by the en-
plOyes Of the old Colorado Midland,
in which they set forth claims for ad-
ditional compensation for the period
extending from January /, the date
on which the Adamson act became
effective, TO May 81, 1916. The claims
were made to the receiver of the road
and submitted to the special master
for adjudication.
Pay for preparatory time" was
most important of the questions in
volved. 1t is defined, in the opinion
of the special master, as the period
before departing time during which
trainmen engaged in the operation of
trains are required TO report for duty.
In the case of firemen and engineers,
they are required to report twenty
minutes before the departure of the
train, and conductors and brakemen
thirty minutes.
In his decision, Special Master Day
ton held that preparatory time"
formed no part of the standard day,
and is treated as a detail or incident
He held that the Adamson act changes
the standard day from ten hours TO
eight and that preparatory time"
does not become part of the standard
day unless recognized as such in the
agreement between employees and the
railroad company. This was not the
case in the contract between the old
Colorado Midland and its employees.
Preparatory time" may be taken into
consideration in future contracts.
In discussing the standing of yard
masters and engine hostlers, the spe-
cial masters report held that neither
is directly engaged in the operation
of trains, unless, in the case of the
yardmaster, the incidental running as
switch engines can be considered as
such, and, in the case of the hostler,
