Stock Yards Open June 5

When the Union Stock Yards throw open tEeir gates in Montgomery June .. the bell will tap at 7s0 d. m., the same hour as at all other large western markets, signifying that the daily trad- Ing IS ready to begin, and that all at taches aust be in their places
 And when the gates fly open, Alabama Will pc placed on the live stock map in proper shape, represented by one of the most modern stock yards in the country No longer need stock be shipped out ot the state to be placed in channels to bring the highest market prices. Buy CTS will be there from every large cen ter and bidding will be on up-to-date lines.
 The yai ds will have daily capacity of 5000 hogs, 5000 sheep. and 25O0 cattle and cost in the neighborhood of s150.0gJ The Union Stock Yards bid fair to make competition hot for Louisville, which has been the closest large market place foi Alabama. The yards cover 1215 acres, four and one-half acres of which are under one roof which insures protection to stock from elements and allowing tradlng tc continue at all times irre- spective of the weather
 Not only can stock raisers of Alabama ship to the Union Stock Yards to adyan- tage, but all surrounding southern states as well.
 A representative of The Age-Herald was in Montgomery this week inspect ing the new yards, finding them far be- yond expectation. The growth of the live stock industry in Alabama and the south has called for these modern stock yards. which clearly show the trend of events Tn the cattle, sheep and hog in dustries.
 General Manager H. F. Snow was very enthusiastic about the outlook and was proud Of the institution which he has piloted through it's many stages to com pletion.

The National Dairy Show
By W. F. SKINNER

The National Dairy show of 1918 will be held at Columbus. O.. October Is to l9.
 The show this year will be conducted un- der war conditions, which will have the
 cooperation of departments of govern ment in an effort to visualize to dairy men in all branches of the industry what is expected of them to help win the war The dairy COW, furnishing mankind with 20 per cent of it's daily diet, should be given every thought and considera- ton by those interested in the food sup ply of the world, so that the show this year will be utilized to present the COW
 to the people of America in the world s
 food supply, so that the producer, manu- facturer and consumer of milk and it's
 products may learn just exactly what part he is expected to play in connection with this great human food.
 As the joint plans are perfected full information concerning their extent and character will be given to the press. In the meantime it is hoped that the patri- otic enthusiasm of the people of this country will be aroused to make the Ma tional Dairy show of 1918 starting point of fuller appreciation of just what the
 dairy industry of the U. $. A. means to the people of the entire world North America occupies the position of being the worlds only dairy products supply. When the war is over the appeal that will be made to us for this most neceS- sary food will bring anguish to our souls 1 if we cannot supply it, and we must pre- pare now to meet this demand We will also be drawn on for seed stock to re- bnild the industry in war-torn Europe. We have just had a splendid get ! together meeting in Chicago, or represent | tatives of all the dairy interests, and 1 the results of this meeting will bring a | better understanding by our government officials as to what they must do to aid 1 in this needed development work for l the industry So let us all pull together
 with a Keen appreciation ofSthe labor be- | fore us, and rally at the National to con- pare notes and for further inspiration.

Wire Cuts and Wounds
First aid is most important.


 First aid is most important.
 Don't use dust or lime to stop beed- ing.
 Bleeding that can be stopped wItn powders will soon stop itself anyhow
 Frequent washing irritates wounds. prevents prompt healing and may cause proud flesh.
 Small concealed stab wounds such as those fiom nails are the most likely to cause death. Find them and keep them clean ana well disinfected.
 Swab ont deep cuts with pure tincture of iodine as soon as it can be secured and they will take care of themselves If the normal pus discharge is removed.
 A long continued discharge from a wound indicates an abscess pocket. bone. injury, or the presence of snag or something else that should not be in the wound Call veterinarian.
 As soon as bleeding has been stopped, wash the wound with a pint of warm water to which two teaspoonfuls of ere olin. lysol. carbolic acid. or some similar disinfectant has been added.
 A wound should be healed in about three weeks. If it is doing well the swelling will gradually go down, and he discharge will be odorless thin and bloody at first, and thicker and whiter later.
 Antitoxin will prevent lockjaw after nail CT puncture wounds. If not so prevented. very few of the lockjaw cases ever recover. The hard crust lime form ing over the surface of wound favors Iockjav by shutting out the air
 Bleeding from leg can always be stopped by tying a small rope loosely about the wound. then twisting it with a stick or small rod. Tighten till blsed- ing stops. Apply bandages and remove the cord if possible. If bandages cannot be applied prevent serious bleeding ny pressing the fingers agalnst the cut bloodyessels until a veterinarian can be called.

1 In any we'll organized dairy herd it | is essential to keep a careful breding Irecord This is necessary in order to know when to dry off each COW and in order to know when to give her the special attention at calving time. A great many plans have been devised for keeping such a record. Many Of those plans have been successful. The main feature of any method is that it shall show the desired record It is highly important that it be as simple
 in it's operation as can possibly be de- yised.
 Keeping a breding record herd on a grade herd is most simple. In the ma : jority of cases the grade herd has but one bull. In such case the only record needed is merely the name or number of the COW and the date of service. A small book well bound is very satis-
 factory for this use. It should be kept in some particular place at all times. A preferable location for this is in the medicine box or special place in the barn where it can be easily reached. If one will go to the extra trouble of copying all entries from the service book kept in the barn he can prac- Itically guarantee to himself that no i'll service book in the barn or from any harm that might come to it.
 RECORD NECESSARY
 With the pure-bred herd the breed ing record is an absolute necessity. This record should contain an entry showing the date of service and the name of the bull to which the COW has been bred. Unless this is done prompt

Corn-P Producing Nations

Approximately three-fourths of the worlds corn is both produced and con- sumed in the United States, according to the United States food administrat- tion. The western European allies pro- duce less than one-half of their total corn requirements, which exceed 25ooO0, : 000 bushels.
 Hungary produces 200 GOO, GOO bushels of corn, and is the largest producer of this grain outside of the United States. Argentina is third. These facts explain the importance for the United States, where corn is plentiful. to use the corn crop more largely for human consump- tion than in the past in order that we may export wheat.

Increased Meat Supply

The conservation programme advised by the food administration must be ad- justed from time to time to make eff cient use of the food supplies of the country When the order for such a change comes. the 13,000,0oo women who have signified their willingness to carry out advised regulations by signing food cards, must be ready to change their food tactics and make use of the avail able supply
 Several complex factors recently have effected distinct increase in the coun- try's meat supply, which is almost cer- tain to obtain for several months. This means that there is enough and more than can be transported to the allies. so that we can increase our own con sumption somewhat.
 E The food administration, therefore. has modified the restriction on meat. Tuesday is to be beefless and porkless, but the ban has been lifted against other meats md other days. This arrange ment is cnly temporary, of course. and new conditions will call for new plans.
 The wheat situation is still aclte- our allies are desperately in need of breadsru. fs-but with the possibility ol securing materials for. more meat dishes housekeepers can serve less bread. More bread substitutes, such as potatoes, c:ce, hominy and other than wheat cereais. can also be used

Do you know that there are millions of bushels of potatoes in the United States in excess of the usual supply at this time of year, and that, unless people generally eat more potatoes than they ordinarily do, millions of bushels of good food Will be lost at time when nearly the whole world is suffering for food? Pota- toes are bulky and heavy and cannot well be transported over seas. The United States must eat it's own potatoes and release other foods for export.
 Eating potatoes every day is duty and eatinf potatoes every meal can be made q pleasure. Following are some recipes, worked out by the cooking ex- perts of the United States department of agriculture, covering every meal forl two days. Similar recipes both economical and palatable, have been worked out covtring every meal for a week.
 For breakfast:
 POTATO OMELET
 One cup mashed potato, 4 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, eggs, table spoons cream or milk.
 Wash eggs and separate the white and yoks. Add the yokes to the potato and beat until there are no Jumps Season with onion juice. if desired, and chopped parsley. Beat the whites until stiff and
  well-oiled frying pan ant bake in oven until brown. Then turn and fold on hot platter Serve at once.
 POTATO AND CORN CHOWDER
 For lunch or supper
 One pint canned corn, cups potato cut in small pieces, 4 cups skim milk, 7 ounces salt pork, 1 small onion chopped. 1a teaspoon pepper, 11a tablespoons corn starch
 The salt pork should be cut into small pieces and cooked with the chopped onion until the onion is a golden brown. Add the potato and cook for 10 minutes. Add the milk and corn and cook slowly in a double boiler. Add the flour mixed to smooth paste with an equal amount of cold ter. Add the pepper and addi- tiona salt if necessary. Cook until the mixture is creamy

Pork Suggestions

A large raw -boned SOW, having plenty of capacity and size, but lacking in femininity and quality, is one of the poorest investments breeder can make, for her pigs will be slow to develop. hard to fatten and lacking both in num- Der and in uniformity.
 The modern hog is a highly specialized and efficient machine for the conversion of grain and roughage into edible meat, but to obtain the greatest efficiency, to make the most pork from given amount .of feed. to make the best pork, and to make that pork most economically. the machine must be kept running to capacity from birth to the time of marketing. Nothing is more important than this fac tor.

STANDARD PACKS

Produce that can be shipped safely un- der standard ventilation (vents open, without ice) may be loaded near the roof with less danger than pdrduce that requires ice. But safe shipment of such produce requires air spaces above. be- tween, and below the packages, so that cool fresh air entering the open vents may reach all parts of the load, other wise the latent heat of the produce. to- gether with the heat generated when closely packed together, will cause rapid decay and great losses.
 Mixed carlot shipments are sometimes received with the produce, such as pota. toes and cucumbers. scattered through the load because the containers have broken open in transit. It is we'll in mixed carlot shipments to see that each type of produce is loaded by itself, spaced and braced, so that it will not shift about while travelling to market

being so broken that the loss of fruit was great. All this because the hampers were not properly spaced and braced in the cars.
 Even when loads are braced properly and arrive intact, inattention to require ments of refrigeration and ventilation often results in great losses through mold and decay Efficient loading of perish ables prohibits putting So much in a car as to result in such losses. The limit of safety must be adhered to even though there is danger through car short age of not, being able to ship the entire crop If cars are properly loaded with open spaces between packages and an ample air passage beneath floor racks. the maximum weight of carloads may be greatly increased, with less danger from loss than with light loads put in the cars

Very perishable produce such as cherries, peaches pears and plums, being shipped under refrigeration, need special attention in this regard, since fruit loaded within two feet of the roof does not receive proper refrig- eration, and unless this space is open the remainder of the load is in danger through inadequate circulation of air to he re
