used to consume various unmarketatle
substances. The value of milk is
known on every farm although it may
not be fully appreciated, and any one
who has fed pigs knows the keen
appetite they have for milk and it's
products. In the neighborhood Of
many large dairies pork production
has become very prominent and lu-
crative supplement to the dairy indus
try. The hog is also large factor in
cheapening the production of beef.
Hogs are placed in the cattle feed
lots to utilize the corn and other feeds
which the cattle have failed to digest
and which otherwise would be wasted.
Hogs following steers in many cases
have increased the profit per steer by
Sc to 50. Farmers and hotel and res
taurant owners are using kitchen
refuse to produce salable pork. In
fact, as a consumer Of by-products the
hog has no rival.
However, this propensity in many in
stances is being taken unfair advan-
tage of through ignorance and lack of
care. Milk products, animal offal, etc.,
which contain disease germs, es-
pecially those of tuberculosis, are
given to hogs. This practice not only
results in spreading disease but causes
loss in the hogs themselves through
condemnation at slaughter. All such
products should be effectively sterilized
before being fed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment CT Agriculture.)
No branch of live stock farming
gives better results than the raising
of well-bred swine when conducted
with a reasonable amount of inte)li-
gence. The hog is one of the most
important animals to raise on the farm,
either for meat or for profit, and no
farm is complete unless some hogs are
kept to aid in the modern method Of
farming. The farmers of the South
and West, awakening to the merits of
the hog, are rapidly increasing their
output of pork and their bank ac-
counts. The hog requires less labor,
less equipment, less capital, and makes
greater gains per hundred pounds Of
concentrates than any other farm ami
NAL, and reproduces himself faster and
in greater numbers; and returns the
money invested more quickly than any
other farm animal except poultry.

sections Of the United States hogs are

FEEDING new CORN TO STOCK
Not Safe for Hogs and Mules-liab'e
to Produce Disorders-Give
Hous Minerals.

New corn is not safe grain for
work horses and mules, as 1t is liable
to produce collie and indigestion. II
It must be fed, feed only the dryest
ears, not more than four or six ears
at each meal. A small quantity OF
salt should be sprinkled on each feed.
A better. and safer method is to feed
half corn and half oats.
If green corn is fed to hogs, the
safest plan is to feed the entire stalks
with the ears on the stalks. Feed
small quantities at each meal; spread
the corn out in the feed lot so that
each one will get its full share.
Keep a full supply Of wood and
coal ashes, burnt wood and corn-cob
charcoal under cover in the feeding
pens, so the hogs can help themselves.
These minerals are useful in correct
ing the acidity Of the green fodder and
corn.

VALUE OF ACRE OF alfalfa
Result Of Interesting Experiment Con.
Quoted on Kansas Agricultural
College Farm.

Experiments conducted on the Kan
sas agricultural college farm have
shown that 10 pounds Of green alfalfa,
cut and fed in a dry lot. was equal to
100 pounds of corn. Six pounds OF
corn was necessary to produce pound
Of pork, so the ITO pounds Of alfalfa
produced 16 % pounds Of pork. Esti-
mating that during the season an acre
of alfalfa will yield 10000 pounds OF
green hay, this,> if cut and fed green
with corn, would make 1900 pounds OF
pork. Figuring this pork at the pre-
vailing price will give some idea OF
the value of an acre Of alfalfa.

HAROLD LOCKWOOD'S LAST FILM AT B|JOU
A Man of Honor" COnsid- cred His Best-May Ali
 son to Appear

Harold Lockwood, in "A Man of Hon. or,' and May Allison. in Almost Mar ried,' are the picture features at Loew's Bijou for the week Other fea- lures will be comedy films and the h. ternational news service
 "A Man of Honor" is Lockwood s last picture and considered by him as his masterpiece. Just as the picture was completed, the popular star became i'll with Spanish influenza and died within a few days. It was at first intended to destroy the film but as 1t was held by Lockwood himself to be his best work, it was decited to make one film before destroying the negative.
 When the picture has completed the circuit it will be returned to Lock woods mother, This will be the last and only showing of this picture in Birmingham. It will be shown the first half of the week.
 In "A Man of Honor" Harold Lock wood has role particularly well adapted to his dynamic, winning person. ality. The story is a screen version of Henry Mitchell Websters popular novel. It is not military theme, but a stirring drama of love and finance
 The charming May Allison in Al most Married" will be the picture fea- ture for the last half of the week. It is a sparkling comedy of delightful originality, and the leading role is well suited to May Allison's beauty and grace. She takes the part of Adrienne Le Blanc, who presides over her aunt s tourist hotel thigh up in the Swiss Alps. A young American falls in love with her but social distinctions keep them apart. She goes to America to enter a musical career and makes a

 BIRMINGHAM MOVIE HOUSES

Popularity of the movies" is increas- ing in Birmingham.
 Within the last two weeks three of the leading motion pi 3ture theatres have re- ported that their greatest previous at- tendance records have been shattered, and all others report improved business. Records of various theatres have been approached many times, and the mana gers all declare that there is a great in- crease in business now over what it was this time last year.
 One of the biggest reasons assigned for the increase is the service, which in- cludes the big. new attractions that are brought here for the people of Birming- ham and for the efforts of the manage ments to make their theatres as com fortable as possible for patrons. Adver-

PAULINE FREDERICK IN TEAR WOMAN Noted Star Blends Comedy and Tragedy in Film at
 the RialtO

Interesting always and at times vividly dramatic, Pauline Fredericlxs newest pie ture, "The Fear Woman" comes to the Rialto theatre this week, beginning Mon- day
 When Helen Winthrop CPauline Fred erick) deceives the man she loves into thinking the worst of her and then, when she is sure that every one else shares his belief suddenly lets him see the truth-this makes for perplexing drama and confirms popular belief in womans baffling mental processes.
 The story presents the case of a girl who breaks her engagement to marry man within two minutes of the cere- mony; who leaves her home to seek di- version among strangers, and all be- cause she is haunted by the fear of an hereditary weakness. She meets at a resort the foolish, fat son of an equally fat and foolish mother who, in despera- ton, summons her lawyer to talk com mon sense to Percy.
 Then she is confronted by the lawyer. who happens to be the man she cast off --and still loves.
 Helen Winthrop deliberately holds him at bay, parties his inquiries with biting ly sarcastic remarks and altogether plays at being a sphinx without a secret. She is thrilled by the faith her lover shows in her. There is brilliant climax in "The Fear Woman and Pauline Frederick blends comedy and tragedy with superb effect.

Using appropriations have been increased, improvements in seating arrangements have been made, decorations have been improved, and with the advent of warmer weather modern cooling devices have been install ed.
 Unusually good order and good ven tilation have been observed here. There has been no friction between the city government and the theatres, indicating that all the pictures brought here are of a high class and could not be offensive to anyone.
 That good motion picture theatres are an asset to any town is universally ad- mitted, in a refining and educational way. Birmingham has been congratu- lated on her photoplay houses, and the manner in which they are operated.
