So he boarded the train and took his place among the throngs of the visi- tors at St. Louis dNring the, period of the exposition. He was often called while there the Alabama Coon'--so true to nature in color and with mission was very worth while un- til he came home. Then he lay, in pieces, at full length on the side of Red mountain. literall sleeping on his ores. During this period the small boy had his fun and came home and reported that he had crawled all the way through Vulcan.
 This seemed a horrible deed, and fears were had that the boy might be forever swallowed by the iron man. There he met weather, storm and sunshine without a stir-but the birds murmured and built nests in his arms. No surgeon was called to repair this metallic frame. Unhon- ored and unsung, he seemed destined to lay among his relatives of stone and earth.
 Finally he started sensation-- they hauled him to the fairgrounds piece by piece-he is a man of Iron weight--he arrived at his present home the very day tho fair opened and was the attraction and distrac- tion of the guests--he surely was in

Complies List of Dairy Sires.

In order to improve the dairy herds
of the state by the introduction of
better sires the dairy extellcion de-
partment of the Louisiana State
University has made a special effort
for the last two months to secure
list of the best purebred dairy bulls
in the state that are FOR sale, includ-
ing the Jersey, Holstein and the
Guernsey breeds. A list of these
available bulls has been compiled.
Most of these bulls have dams with
very creditable and official records
for milk and butterfat production and
are considered by the specialists to
be good herd sires. The breeders
who own these bulls are very anxious
to place them on the dairy farms Of
the state, not so much that they wish
to sell and dispose of them, but
through a desire to improve the dairy
herds of the state. Any farmer, re-
gardless Of his ability to buy bull,
provided he shows the proper interest
and spirit in the Improvement of his
herd, can secure one of these bulls
at not only reduced price, but on
the most liberal terms. For further
information write to the Dairy Ex-
tension Division at the Louisiana
State University, Baton Rouge.
