Dairy Interests Praised

Alabama and Mississippi are des- tined to be the center of great dairy industry" says J. H. McClain, dairy husbandman of Washington, D. C., in charge of dairy extension work in the southern states. q have been travelling all Der the south and everywhere there
 is evident an interest in dairying as an markabe The high prices which al, dairy pl1ducts command, the steady de- mand for high grade and pure-bred stock of known production. the purchase in this country of 7S,OG0 head of dairy stock by France, have all conduced to establish in a permanent way the dairy industry as business of profitable investment and growth.
 'The carload of pure bred bulls just brought down from the Hood farms of Massachusetts to Alabama Bull associa- tons by the extension service stands out unique and supreme In the annals or dairy history in this country. I do not know where any other state al any time has duplicated such an effort. The bull aes0r'ar' on, now hein~ formed in Nin- bama. creating additional interest of their own momentum fpom year to year, will prove of tremandone va'lse 10 the dai~ men Of the state. Some other states have more associations, but nowhere haves found feener interest.
 am particularly pleased with the col- lege creamery which has proven its sue cess in q location possessing but few nat ural advantages for dairying. It shows what persistent effort intelligentlv direct ed can accomplish in the dairy line.'

Doctoring the Pig

Pigs of from weeks to months are often rather a trouble and anxiety to their owners, and 1t is rare that pro- fessional advice is sought and some form of home doctoring adopted. Generally speaking. only some of the home remedies are used, and rarely are pigs subjected to the drastic dosing that cattle and horses are. Among the common complaints is the indigestion trouble. which is extreme ly frequent in pigiings while being weaned and freshly bought-in young sters It affects them in various ways such as causing them to be constipated, securing. becoming swollen after foos- bringing on fits and an attack of eczern~ In treating this trouble, one should ers deavor to find out the cause, what.ier i' is due to Q improper food. (2) too coarse food, (9 irregular hours of feeding, (D too much a. time.
 Very often sucking pigs, owing to the SOW not producing sufficient milk, are forced, owing to hunger. to eat the sows food which soon sets up indigestion and its attendant troubles. Then, again, coarse grain is often given to freshly weaned animals, and soon upsets them owing to it being too coarse for them to digest Various substances in the wash such as salt soda. large quantities of grease, produce securing and even sickness,
 Pigs should be fed at stated hours, and not just at any time, as over-gorging after a long fasting is very likely to cause flatulence or even bring on fits.
 One is often tempted to feed too strong diet to youngsters to bring them on quickly with the result that they are not able to digest it, and often come out in bad rash.
 First change the food, and if possible give them mixed diet containing two or three different foods, such as sharps, boiled potatoes and milk. or sharps and maize meal also little green stuff. See that no food is left in the trough after meal and that the tnoughs .lo not con tain quantity of stale sour food. Treat the various symptoms as they arise, and if constipated give a dose of castor oil and feed fair quantity of green food. Should, however it have caused securing. then one should give from to 90 grains of carbonate of bismuth twice or three times daily and milk and a little flour given. Often a handful or two of dry wheat given them to eat will help to stop it Another favorite remedy as handful of dry flour and a large tea spoonful of charcoal, given to them dry twice or three times daily.
 A useful powder for any digestive trouble is composed of: Bicarbonate of soda. one ounce; prepared chalk, two ounces; table salt, half an ounce; pow dered charcoal. two ounces; powdered liquoriee root. three ounces. Give from a salt spoonful to teaspoonful, accord ing to size of animal. once or twice daily.
 to an animal suffering from any diges- tive complaints, as the herbage, weeds and earth are what the pig requires to help it digest it's food.-Farm and Home.

 Why not take serious forethought and keep capital at your own command? Why not be your own banker and carry your own insurance against lean year?

Must Do Qur Own Work

LIT. CharleS A. Eaton, Tn Leslie s.
 The world was fought by peoples rather than governments has placed the burden of the worlds future upon the masses of men. The last court of appeal upon all the intricate problems of social and polit- ical justice must be public opinion. The citizens of America and of other free democratic nations can neither hire nor elect servants to think for them. They must think and decide for themselves. and then they will have to select repre- sentatives to enforce their decisions and carry out their purpose. Minds filled only with automobiles or money or the oloEy or hair-splitting legalities will not be equal to this stupendous task. Nor will benevolent good wishes nor senti- mental aversions to strife and suffering help any. Men must know the truth because the truth alone can make them

 It is humiliating beyond words to learn from a public statement by Sir Robert Borden that the. lunacy which has put the city of Winnipeg out of business is supported financially from centers in the United states. We only hope that the Canadian peorlc will realize that the same foreign propagan which is responsible for the uprising in Winnipeg is responsible for any money which may have comc from this side of the line to support that uprising.
 Three distinct clements are discern ible in the Canadian difficulty. First, there was regular old-fasihoned labor-union strike in an attempt to se- cure certain concessions from employ CTS This was confined to a few trades.
 Second, emerges a group of em- ployes representing the municipal gov ernment; another group under the Jurisdiction of the provincial govern ment. and still another who are un- der the authority of the federal gov ernnent. These groups include postal workers, policemen. letter carriers, firemen and a variety of other civil servants.
 Back of these stands third and more minister class. This includes the foreign propagandists who are quite sure that Russia at the present mo- ment has achieved the long-awaitsd millennium; that bolshevism is the coming of the kingdom of God, and that the cure for all inequalities and miseries is to be found sin the immedi- ate destruction of all existing govern ments. and especially in the destruc- tion by confiscation and violence Of capital and capitalists

 Mir. Ford has enlightened America He hired experts to educate the country. He ought to have hired them to educate him. self. He can and must delegate duties in his business, but in his citizenship he cannot delegate his duties, nor buy with money secondhand knowledge.
 The glory and wonder of the Christian scheme of redemption lies in the fact that when the Divine Creator sought to save the world He did not delegate the task to some inferior agency, but came Himself. It is this truth which lifts the doctrine of the incarnation out of the realm of sectarian theological oontro- versy and gives it the character of cos- mia principle. This is the principle which MT. Ford and every other citizen of America must learn. We cannot hire any one to do our work as citizens. We must do it ourselves and we must pre- pare ourselves for the doing of it. not by buying secondhand knowledge. but by educating and disciplining our own minds and hearts.

Dairy Cattle Increasing

Twenty countries each have more than 100000 cattle. The United States has not the greatest number, as many people suppose, but ranks second to In- dia by more than 100,OO0,00O. During the
 last 33 years Guernseys led by far all other breeds in numbers of pure-bred cat tie imported into this country, and of the five breeds leading the importations four were distinctly dairy types More than S75O Guernsey cattle were imported; Jerseys ranked second in num- bers,- with Durhams, including Short horns, third; Holsteins fourts. and Ayr shires igth The volume of pure bred
 cattle importations has been extremely
 variable.
 These are a few of many facts about the dairy industry that are brought out in Circular 7 recently published by the United States department of agriculture which shows, chiefly by graphic charts,
 the trend of the industry in this country
 and it's relation to the world trend The circular reports statistics of cattle in the various countries as far back as 1850, when the earliest dependable infor-
 nation was recorded. Compared with other decades the world has had more cattle in recent years than ever before.
 although it must be remembered popula- tion has increased also.
 Owing to the wide variations in the quality of herds in the different coun- tries. the circular says. the charts must not be considered as an indication of rel ative meat or dairy resources. The circular says the general trend of cattle development is: First, work ami mals next, raising cattle for conlmer- cial beef, and finally commercial Slairy- ing in addition to the business of meat production.
 Throughout the world the cattle indus try shows general growth, but has made it's greatest advance in regions where pasturage and feeds are more abundant. The recent trend of cattle development indicates that beef production and dairy ing are progressing, generally, outside or
 the immediate war area.
 Countries which depend largely on im-
 ported feeds appear to maintain reia-
 lively few cattle in addition to their
 dairy cows, which have gradually re-
 placed other cattle
 Dairy cows have shown less fluctuation
 in number than total cattle. This condi-
 tion is noteworthy throughout the world
 over long periods including adyarse con
 ditions such as disease. drouth and war.
 European experiences indicate that
 when a country has reached the practi-
 cal limit of cattle the land will maintain
 further increase of milk production is
 obtained by improving the yield per COW.
 It appears logical that the United States
 can best meet changed world conditions,
 first by increasing simultaneously both
 the number and quality of it's cattle; sec
 ond, by constant attention to economy
 of production: third. by maintenance of cattle raising and dairying in conjunction
 with general farming, thus reducing de-
 pendence on purchased feeds.

AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITS

American food production played glor- ious and important part in the great war While hunger stalked within the enemy countries, and craving stomachs overruled minds that logic could not convince, veritable flood of food was poured from the rich producing areas of the United States into the stores of Amer ican army and the forces of the asso- ciated powers. Thus the American farm CT backed the American fighter.
 And the American farmer was backed by the United States department of az riculture, which rot long ago was de- scribed by President Wilson as "the greatest practical and scientific agri- cultural organization in the world.~ From the very beginning of America's partie- ipation in the way it strove for maximum production in this country. and now is redirecting its efforts toward the peace time aid of balanced and prosperous farm ing. It works in CO., operation with the state agricultural colleges and other agencies to help the American farmer fill the food basket. not only of this country. but of large part of the world
 The magnitude and scope of the work of the department of agriculture is ind-s cated in the exhibits that are to be shown at the Alabama and Mississippi State Fairs. The exhibits are sent by
 
 of making farmers better acquainted with it's work, and showing them how they can make use of the investigational work that is going on in Washington and other places. City residents, too, will find much to interest them, for the work of the department is wide. It strives not only for more wheat and corn and cotton and beef and pork and wool, but it con- ducts activities that are of immense inn portance to every American citizen, whether in city or country For instance, the department administers the federal aid Doad act, which is regarded as em- bodying the greatest step ever taken by any country for better highways. and part of its exhibits will show it's activi- tles in this field. It enforces the federal food and drugs act, which protects the table of every American family, and the meat inspection law. which keeps faulty meats out of interstate commerce.

ed sections of the country will be duplicated in every community.
 It is the introduction of such things as the motor truck that is doing much to make the life of the American aSri- culturist today what it should be-one of the most profitable and delightful of all existences. Only few years ago transportation except in the vicin- ity. of our cities, was a matter of ex- treme difficulty. Today. thanks to the almost universal use of the automobile the farmer can laugh at distance; ;'and, although he may live in some com paratiyely remote region, the members of his family may enjoy all the advant- ages to be derived from coming in touch with life in our crowded cities. Now the motor truck appears to simplify the problem of reaching faraway mar kets with produce. Truly the farmer Is coming into his own.

 Don't try to dry fruits and vegetables which are not fresh and fit for the table. A good grade of product is as necessary for drying as for canning.
 commercial drier makes the work easier and quicker, but in many parts of the United States the sun will do the work with the early maturing fruits and berries.
 Reduce your grocery bills next winter by filling your storeroom shelves now with canned dried and brined garden products.
 Health and thrift demand that you can all you can and then dry, brine or store the rest.
 Facts are stubborn things. You can't get around the one that it pays in hard cash to practice home canning and dry ing.
