Sale of Animals

There will be sold at public auction at the auxiliary remount depot No 312. near Montgomery, Ala. on Thurs day. April 4. 1918, beginning at a. m. about 100 condemned horses and 40 mules.
 Each animal will be sold individual- ly to the highest bidder for cash, the government reserving the right to re- feet any or all bids for sufficient req sons. Only cash or certified checks will be accepted.
 A number of these animals were con- dcmned merely on account of minor ailments or traits of character which make them undesirable for active army service. These will make excellent farm animals.

Farm Bureaus

While several states have county agents in every county, to Iowa belongs the distinction of being the first state to organize a farm bureau in each county, according to information reach ing the United States department of az riculture.
 The farm bureau is voluntary local organization Of farmers for co-operation with the United States department of agriculture and the state agricultural colleges in extension work. It outlines and carries out definite programme of agricultural improvement Essentially it is chamber of agriculture, correspond ing in many of It's functions with the city Chamber of Commerce. It has been developed as the answer to the need of the county agent for an effective organ ization to extend the extension work ef- Actively over the county.
 One of the important features of farm bureaus. especially at the present time. is to assist county agents in federatinr agricultural forces for the national de- fense.
 New York has nearly completed its list of farm bureaus. and number of other states are not far behind.

'If the south negleets this year to provide her own food and feed, she is likely to suffer serious privation, and she will put burden upon the nation which may prolong the war and even imperil our victory" says Clarence Gus ley, assistant secretary of agriculture.

 TRANSPORTATION LACKING ..Secretary McAdoo has given warning that, transportation may be lacking in 1918, to haul food and feed to states and communities that do not provide for themselves. Many cattle have been sac rificed in the drouth regions of the northwest and the southwest during the last few months, because railroad cars could not be obtained as needed. Mill tary movements must have first consid- eration, and military movements will be greater in 1913 than in 1917. The prime question for the farmer Is not what product will bring the highest price, but what products will insure food for ..is family and feed for his live stock, and the answer is: A vegetable garden, a

Best In America

To fully insure the quality of the offering at this sale, each animal has been selected by very competent and well-known judge of beef cattle, who was given strict instruc- tions to select nothing which did not show true Hereford type and quality We know that some of these cattle will be sold for less money than they would bring at private treaty, but this sale is to advertise the Herefords in Alabama and every care has been taken to see that every animal is of such character that they will all make good wherever they go. It will, without doubt, be the best collection of cattle of any breed ever sold in Alabama at one time, and ev- cry animal will be fully guaranteed in ev- cry way by the owner and by this associa- tion.

Although they come at the close Of

Of the Northern Pacific railway in the

That America wastes millions Of
tons of coal through inefficient firing
Of engines and improper care of stoves
and furnaces is a matter Of common
knowledge. In the past, however, coal
has been comparatively cheap and
there has seemed to be plenty of it
With characteristic American indiffer-
ence, householders continued to per

up the chimney in the form Of smoke
and unconsumed carbon. The past
year, however, has convinced every
one that coal must be saved, not only
because it has become more expen-

ply is limited; there is only certain
amount to be had, and any consumer
who does not obtain his full share ct

a view to educating its :tiremen and

general public that the operating de-

to conduct. public meetings in add.

important points in its territory. The

engineers who have expert knowledge
asto the precise number Of heat units
each shovelful of coal should produce,

afternoon, and public meeting will
be held at the Commercial club rooms
Tuesday evening, when everyone who
