Stiles, who had been selected to ad- minister the oath of office, sat at the right of pr. Barrett. between the out going and incoming commissioners.
 City Employees Resign.
 As soon as the ovation of the crowded room had subsided Dr. Bar rett called the meeting to order and announced that he had in his posses sion the resignations of four of the city employees. J. M. Jones, city comp troller; H. S. Ryall, clerk of the com mission; R. L. Pruitt, purchasing agent, and Fred G. Moore, city attor- ney.

 pr. Barrett then turned over the session to Judge J. P. Stiles, who re- quested that the members of the new commission rise to their feet and re- peat the oath of office after him. Following the acceptance of the oath
 
 of office. the new commissioners signed the typewriter copies of the oath. An ovation greeted each com missioner as he or she stepped for ward to sign the oath. The new com missioners resumed their. places and Judge Stiles addressed a few re- marks to the members as follows:
 The oath has been duly admins tered to the president and the four commissioners" said Judge stiles. They now understand the oath of of flee.

OFFICERS CAPTURE

 Arrest Made

Two we'll equipped stills of 250-gal- lon capacity each were captured in Shelby county yesterday by federal prohibition agents and with $500 gallons of mash and IT gallons of liquor was destroyed.
 The raiding officers found the still in full operation but owing to warn ings having been given by lookouts the moonshiners, with one exception. made their escape. According to the statement of Officer Gene Eubanks, the raiding party discovered the first still with three men at work.

E. Gentry, was captured and brought to Birmingham.
 About 400 yards from the first still the officers found another one in op- eration, but there was no one in sight. Both stills were destroyed.
 According to a statement of N l., Pierce, in charge of the prohibition forces here, they have IS other stills located in Shelby and that they ex- pect to capture them all this week.

DAIRY
FACTS
DIsP0sING OF MILK SURPLUS
Conditions Likely to Exist in Well.
Developed Dairy Districts
During Summer.

| prepared by the United States Depart.
| ment Of Agriculture.)
For the first time since the begin.
ming Of the World war there is deyel.
oping in this country surplus Of
milk, according to reports recently
received by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture. Specialists Of
the department state that this condi.
ton probably will be only temporary
during the flush of the season. and
that it is most apparent in well-de-
veloped dairy districts. 1t may con.
tinue during the summer months, but
Is expected to adjust itself by fall,
when demand will overtake the sur.
plus OF supply. The situation is large
8 due % the falling off in the demand
tor milk in the manufacture of con.
densed products. milk powders, casein,
and similar products, for which there
was a large export outlet.
The department points out the adj
visibility OF using as much milk as
possible. in fluid form and otherwise,
as human food. Within the last
genera ion an increased knowledge Of
the value Of milk in the diet has re-
suited in an almost doubled per cap
lta consumption of milk, and con-
sumers Who purchase milk freely
thereby encourage production. This
IS believed to be the best safeguard
against milk shortage and high
prices resulting from the withdrawal
~ fro, 1,o u,
periods of large production and low
farm prices for milk.
But when the limit of human utili.
cation is reached dairy producers nee
essarily must decide how to dispose
OF the remainder. In many cases this
will be a decision between selling
whole milk, selling cream, or even to
use moderate quantity of whole
milk for feeding, especially to young
animals. In any event, a more liberal
use OF milk on farms should reduce
the surplus, even though not solving
the problem entirely.
AS guide to persons deciding to
utilize surplus milk as a live stock
feed, the department makes the fol-
lowing recommendations, which may
be supplemented with literature is
sued by the department:
Milk from a dairy herd which is not
definitely known to be free from tu-
berculosiS should be scalded before
being fed. An ordinary feed cooker
is practical means for scaIding milk.

TREATING HOGS FOR CHOLERA
Losses Are Inevitable Unless Early
Action 10 Taksn and Proper
Remedies Applied.

(Prepared by the United States Depart.
-. ment of Agriculture.)
Unless early action is taken to dag.
nose the cases and apply proper treat
ment when disease appears in your
swine herds, losses are inevitable. The
chances are many that the trouble Ia
cholera. and under such circumstances
delay Is dangerous. for when that dis.
ease has spread and progressed in the
herd the loss of many hogs may be
expected.
Early attention in an outbreak of
hog cholera Is essential for the sue
cesstul treatment of the herd. It has
been told repeatedly that anti-hog- chol.
era serum is not cure; it's use is
primarily intended as preventive
agent against cholera, and as such 1t
Is universally recognized as the only
reliable treatment. While the serum
seemingly has had some favorable eff.
feet when administered to sick hogs
in the very early stage of the disease,
swine owners should not depend uaon
the product to save any number of
animals after they have developed
visible symptoms Of hog cholera.
In Farmers Bulletin S34 (revised)
attention is called to the fact that the
serum is most efficacious when admin.
!stered as preventive. "While the
serum is regarded as most efiicacous
when administered as preventive"
the bulletin points out, ut seems to
have some curative value. provided It
is administered when hogs are in the
very early stages of the disease. But
very little benefit can be expected
from the treatment of hogs that are
visibly SICK"
''Serum should be used with the un.
derstanding that it is a preventive
rather than curative agent" ut has
been stated that serum alone has some
value in treating sick hogs. This is
true within a certain limitation. Ordi.
narily it is etficacious only in the very
early stage of the disease, before the
hogs show visible signs of Sickness"

the most profitable. These are known
among seed producers as stockings.
Roots for commercial seed produc-
ti"n are usually started about the

have had better success by starting
their streclllings little later. as in

pounds per acre and the plants are
left nnthinned. 1t is important that
the seed be of highest quality and. be-
rnuse an even stand is highly desir-
able. the bulletin recommends that
termination tests be made.
Harvest Of steckIina.
The stocking harvest should be
started before freezing weather. In
northern Colorado it generally begins
by September 20 and is usually COM
pleted with all the beets in the silos
by October 10. Harvesting begins by
moving the tops of the stockings as
close to the ground as practicable. II
the mowers are run first one way and
then back again on the same row.
many leaves will be cut of which

were run in one direction only. The

Is thick and heavy. 1t pays to gather
the leaves and s!'o them for feed. but

In calf feeding it usually pays well
to feed one pound of whole milk for
each ten pounds that the calf weighs,
for a period of two weeks, and at the
end of that time to change gradually
TO an equal amount of skim milk. The
skim milk should be gradually in
creased as the calf grows until about
10 pounds per day is fed at the end
OF three months. Feed the milk warm
and regulate the quantity according
to size and vigor of the calf.
For pigs three weeks old or more,
three parts of skim milk mixed with
one part OF shorts, is useful in keeping
chem growing. Skim milk may be fed
with corn and other hog feeds in va.
