The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1919-12-04

Tuscaloosa county farmers were treated
to the first showing of the American Jer-
sey Cattle cIuo moving picture film en-
titled: "A Year in Jersey History" The
show was given before a good sized au-
dience at the Diamond theatre, and the
frst-hand glimpse of SYPHILIS Gamboga,
the s55, 900 Jersey bun, was the cause of
favorable comment
The great value OF this bull lies in the
fiDA qualities of his offsprings, all OF
which sell way up in the thousands
Picture Of Vive La France, an Oregon
COW, that made 1900 pounds of butter in
year, was shown, as well as pictures
of Sophie XIX, a worlds champion COW
of al breeds, who has made more butter
in her lifetime than any other COW on
record.
The winners OF the Jersey classes at
the National Dairy Show recently held IN
Chicago were also shown and an OPP
portunity was thus given the Tuscaloosa
farmers to see the highest types of the
breed, bidding for the national prizes
only a few weeks ago.
A. l.. Tichane the field representative
of the American Jersey Cattle club, came
down from New York to talk to those
present He WIS very much impressed
with the possibility of making tbs a
dairy producing community, and men
toned several instances where other
counties in this and adjoining states had
prospered greatly by the coming of the
pure bred cow He urged that the farm
ers ani business men of the Tuscaloosa
district stand tog ether in their support
of the creamery that is now being erected
and pointed our how the dairy COW offers
a steady year round income to the farmer
without the possibility of losses that
sometimes are encountered in crop farm
ing.
MANY INTERESTED
Many of those present manifested al
interest in dairying and steps are al
ready under way to bring in carload
of pure bred Jersies of high producing
blood line. He further emphasized that
when once the work is started other
progressive steps will be taken to put
Tuscaloosa county on the same footing
as Selma, Demopolis and Brookhaven,
Miss, all of which are prosperous, thirty
ing dairy centers, that have been built
up around the Jersey cow.
The best sneaker was John Sugg OF
Morganville, KY, who was sent here oV
the American Duroc Breeders associa-
ton OF Chicago. The moving picture thai
was shown by the Duroc people in
cludad the famous herd on the Enocns

tant points that Mr.. Sugg made in mis-
speech were that the Duroc was the most
i-proliic producer of pounds of pork in q
/ given time. Second, that in pure bred
sale the prices were the highest in any
| grade Third, that they lead in tke south
and everybody wants them. Fourth, that
Duroc SOW will return more profit or
the investment than anything else. Fifth
! feed your hogs every day and feed a
well balanced ration, SO as to make bone
and muscle as well as fat, Sixth. a pure
/ bred animal improperly fed is little bet
ter than a scrub. Seventh, vaccinate
every hog against cholera. Eighth, give
them good dry beds and protect them
from all ills. Ninth. keep the worms OFT
of chem. Tenth, buy good Durocs and
stick to them.
