, This virtually means the troops
 must be mustered out of service soon
 if results are not attained.
 The inspector, who was here short time ago, in his report is bound
 to tell about Birmingham defi-
 cheney. For, so far, the Birming- ham Sabres have been left down at the fairgrounds to practice in mud
 knee deep twice a week. Their hous- ing conditions are merely the sum
 mertime accommodations afforded by fairgrounds buildings, and the soldiers themselves are compelled to dress in a room where the cracks are so large. proper heating and com
 fort are entirely impossible.
 No Place to Go
 Besides this, the Sabres organiza- | ton has worn out it's welcome with
 the fairgrounds association long ago." Captain Carter declares. "We have even received notice to vacate, but, through pleading, are being al lowed to stay on."
 The fair association did not erect
 buildings to take care of soldier
 units; and in fact ought not to be
 more than any other city institu- tion.
 What the unit needs is its own
 home.
 = The reason the Sabres will be able
 to build an armory that will at
 least serve for the present with the
 meagre sum of s1,50o. is because the
 Stockham Pipe and Fittings com
 pany, through the ever generous H. c. Stockham, has offered them the use of several acres of land free for number of years. It would be so much finer if plot of land about ten or 15 minutes ride out actually could be given to "our boys" for keeps, but so far this has not been possible to attain. One citizen did offer some land, but the title, it is declared, could not be strengthened out. and so that hope had to be abandoned. The fair grounds is too far away. Decide Now Meanwhile will you give? What will you give?
 The $500 would be spent for, an indoor place to drill and place to put equipment as follows: Drill hall, 50x50. Locker room. 50x5o. Club room. 50x50. Supply room, 50x50. Orderly room, 20x20. Four shower baths. The figures have all been worked out carefully, and what is actually needed can be bought with the re- quested money.
 Birmingham may well be proud of the Sabres. Captain F. F. Bertholet, inspector for Alabama and Tennes-
 see. national guard. was here just
 few days ago. He declared tho equipment is in fine shape, and the
 condition of the horses excellent. The
 horses also couldn't be in finer shape, according to Dr. c. Daly, city veter marian, who also serves as govern ment inspector. There's not a sick, | crippled or lame horse in the bunch, and in the 10 months the troop has been organized, not horse has died.
 This notwithstanding trying govern ment tests must be made of them in | every way all the time" Troop Praised | The troop is officially called head | quarters troops of the Twenty-third
 division of the U. S. National Guard
 and received high praise from the 1 inspector.
 | In many places the city, county or
 state has contributed to this splendid
 work; but in this case public funds
 up to the present have not been pos
 sible to get. So it is up to general subscription.

Most cities like such organizations right downtown where visitors can be entertained by the sight of the men and horses, and where crowds can be assembled very easily. A place ordinarily as close in as East Park is usually picked. One city gave one half block for such show purposes.
 The real democratic spirit of the troop is emphasized by Captain Car ter, when he says:

Montevideo Feb. 4th.-Fhe report

Lady ~ShackletOn, widow of the famous

which gives the report no credence. Cap
tain Hussey, who brought tie body here

however, expressed surprise at the re-

at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that
Chancellor Buero would represent the

pneumonia, of which only a small per-

wide epidemic, such as was experienced
in the war days, have subsidized. The
malady has caused officials great anxiety
during the last months, because it was
feared that it was the old flu, but so
far it has not developed into anything
like the former epidemic. At its worst
there were only about one hundred
deaths weekly in London, and both
deaths and new cases have dropped off
greatly. The disease here so far has not
shown signs Of the malignity of the war
time flu.

SELECTING farm
VERY IMPORTANT
Many Things to Consider That
May Have Decided Bearing
on Home and Business.
FERTILITY MOST DESIRABLE
Essential to Success Of Enterprise IL
High Quality Of Live Stock
Look to Source and De-
~ pendability Of Water.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The wise selection of farm Is vital
to the success and satisfaction Of farm
life. Choosing farm often means
choosing place in which to live and
work for lifetime. 1t is important,
of course, to decide wisely in buying for
investment, says the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, but In making
q selection for a home 1t Is doubly
important to consider various features
that may have decided bearing on
the farm business or that may make
the home life attractive.
Homo and Business Inseparable.
The home side Of the question must
always be kept in mind, for the farm
home and the farm business are In
separable. The desirable farm from q
business standpoint many times is
found undesirable II 1t has no social
or community advantages. On the
other hand. desirable living conditions
are Of little or no advantage unless
supplemented by q successful farm
business.
In selecting a farm 1t should be
borne In mind that 1t requires farm
business Of considerable size to pro
vide an income that will merely cover
maintenance charges, and that these
charges are relatively larger for small
farms than for large ones. A farm
must be Of such size as to furnish
most Of the supplies needed in the
farmers living. such as garden and
fruit, and enough income to pay the
taxes and running expenses. Unless,
however, there is a margin above these
annual maintenance charges no prog
ress can be made toward accumulat-
ing surplus.
Another feature which the farm
seeker should see to Is that prospects
for crop yields are more than sufficient
to balance the cost Of production.
Soils of low fertility are handicapped
some are found to be positive liability
II 1t is necessary to farm them. 1t Is
well to inquire thoroughly into crop
yields, not only those that have been
obtained on the farm, itself for period
Of years but those realized on adjacent
farms.
Equally essential to the success Of
the farm business is high quality Of
the live stock enterprise. To handle
live stock so 1t will pay for feed, care,
and labor is more than a mere matter
of management. for 1t is dependent

which are partly black, to occur In
practically all strains of this variety,
but this Is not sign Of impure breed
ing. Black spots are also common
occurrences on the shanks, particularly
In females, but this does not indicate
impurity. There Is decided tendency
for the males Of this variety to come
lighter In color than the females, and
for this reason breeders are usually
obliged to resort to two separate mat
ings, one for the production Of males
Of standard color and the other for
the production Of females Of standard
color. The system Of double mating,
Of course, complexities the problem of
producing high-class Barred Plymouth
Rocks
In mating for males Of exhibition
color male Of about standard color
Is used with medium dark females, or
those two or three shades darker
than females Of exhibition color, In
which the barring Is as distinct and
as narrow as possible. This mating is
known as the cockerel mating because
It produces greater percentage Of
standard-colored males, while the
females produced are too dark, but
are suitable for continuing this line
Of breeding. In mating for females
Of standard color, females Of about the
desired color are used with a medium
light male or one that Is two or three
shades lighter than standard and with
good barring. This is known as the
pullet mating, because It produces a
greater percentage Of females of the
proper color, while the males are too
light but good for carrying on this line
Of breeding.
Those who produce standard Barred
Plymouth Rocks, therefore, must have
what amounts to two separate flocks
In order to keep their exhibition birds
uniform. The average farmer. however,
does not usually exhibit or sell breed
Ing stock and will still continue to-
make IA single mating as he has always
done.
