STOCKMAN CLOSES
 EXPERIMENT WITH
 HOGSAND PEANUTS
Tests, Scientifically Handled, DiscIoSeS Series of Interest ing ResuIts-Legumes
 Prove Valuable

Auburn, March S1.-( Especially )-Tho log feeding experiment which has been conducted by Parke Thompson Alabama experiment station has now been closed and the conclusions bring to light many valuable facts for the farmers and especially those in the peanut sections of Alabama. The pur- poses of this experiment were to de- termlne the best way to market pea nuts under the present conditions and also to determine the comparative ef- ficiency of different rations for hogs
 Four lots of six hogs each were car received only picked runner peanuts another received corn in addition to these peanuts; third lot received tankage and peanuts and the fourth received both corn and tankage in ad- dition to peanuts. The hogs, feed and equipment were furnished by MT Thompson while a representative oi the experiment station did the weigh ing and feeding. The experiment ran 97 days. during which time the hogs fed on peanuts alone gained, on the average, nearly two pounds per day For 3o6 pounds of peanuts eaten they put on 100 pounds gain, or based upon results in tons they gained 562 pounds for each ton of peanuts they consumed
 Another important fact brought out by this experiment was that the hogs having corn, tankage, or both corn ana tankage, supplementary to their pea nut rations required a greater number of pounds of feed for pound of gair and each pound gained cost more tha. where peanuts were the only feed.
 On March 22 these hogs were sold al Andalusia for Sc per pound at whicf price MT Thompson received $50.5S pei ton for the peanuts which his hogs hac eaten. The fright to Andalusia wa: offset by the fact that t was less thar it would have cost to have hauled tho raw peanuts from his farm to the near est railroad station. On this same day he was offered only $25 per ton on car: for the remainder of his peanuts, s, that by feeding them to hogs he fully doubled the price received.
 By valuing runner peanuts at $50 pei ton, which was above the market or this day, the cost of producing a pount of pork on peanuts alone was only 51s c whereas, as above shown, the hogs solt for Sc per pound.

For Good of
 the Community


 A taken in the Own Your Home" ex- position in the Chamber of Commerce points clearly to the wisdom, the necessity of permanent exhibit of Birminghams manufactured products
 Two pronounced features of the daily coming and going of the men and women seekers stand out. In their relative i'm portance they are these:
 First Men and women of Birming- ham know precious little about what is produced here
 Second When they do see what our factories are turning out, they marvel they admire and they at once figure with pencil and paper on their use and cost.
 The average citizen of Birmingham has heard about hollow tile. He has seen it enter into walls and floors of the larger buildings. He has seen it in~ dwellings without knowing it was tile. He had no conception of the beautiful exterior effects wrought by tile with and without brick trimmings.
 All those who have seen the new brick and tile made of furnace slag out at Ems ley have said Tt is perfectly beautiful" They have seen an interior mantel made of this brick and tile They know what it will look like and what it will cost
 They have seen the concrete roofing tile that is made in Birmingham. Few Birmingham folk knew that such a fac tory existed. Many now do know and many are thinking of using this material for roofing.
 They have seen the kind of interior woodwork that is done by Birmingham woodturners. They have seen graceful house entrances that are the handiwork of Birmingham lumber and blaming mills. They know that they can have this kind of work done at home by home people on a home guaranty
 The wise business man does not content himself with the ability of his salesmen to push the fame and sale of his wares His continuous policy is that of telling the world about them until the consumer as we'll as the dealer knows what they are: until the consumer asks for them.
 The Barrett company has carried page advertisement in the Saturday Eve ming Post for years. The readers of the Posthave absorbed the idea of Barrett roofing until not man who intends build ing fails to think of waterproof roofing.
 The makers of automobiles have page after page in every issue of the Saturday Evening Post for the purpose of familiar izing the public with their machines. They do not depend on the local dealer in en- tirety The biggest and continuous ad- vertising is for every man and woman in the country
 How many more Birmingham stoves would be sold if more Birmingham people knew about them and saw them in per manent exhibit? How many more outside retail merchants would handle them if on their visits to Birmingham they saw these stoves in manufacturers exhibit?
