THE MILK ROUTE
Picture to Be shown Illustrating
 Progress of Dairy Industry

Little is known in the south about the dairying industry on the large scale on which it is carried on in the north, but good start has been made, especially in Selma, Alabama, and to show this "The Milk Route" has been made by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad and will be shown at the Galax theatre on February 18th.
 That the dairy COW can turn bank rupt farming section into one teeming with prosperity has been often proved and good many people in the south have became convinced that darying hereabouts has enormous possibilities.
 The processes of butter, cheese and ice cream making are all shown, and how milk is delivered, tested, weigh ed and the value of 1t credited to the producer. Then there are scenes show ing dairy herds of Holstein and Jersey cattle, with individual prize winners.
 The dairy industry while young in the south, Is of the utmost promise and this makes the picture one of special interest in this section. Of the fact that the business has in it the possibility of creating new south, there is no doubt in the minds of com potent judges.
 Having complete faith in the possibilities of the southern develop ment and the wisdom of Helping this development along, the Southern Railway has united with the Louis vile h Nashville and the Atlanta & West Point, Georgia & Western of Alabama railroads and the Southern Bell and Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph companies, in cooperation with the Southern Enterprises, In- corporated, to show over the south a series of pictures that should be educational and illustrative of the progress and possibilities of the south.

MANY PoRKERS STUNTED

each year by infections and swellings

according to swine men at the Col

being that the mud hastens healing.
This would be true we're it not for
the causes of infection found in the

"Six weeks has been found to be
the best age at which to castrate the

HORSE SHORTAGE FOLLOWS
A BIG DECLINE IN BREEDING

The breeding or farm mares has
decreased about rs per cent since
1915, according to w. S. Anderson, a
member of the College of Agriculture
animal husbandry department at
Lexington. This fact is seen as one
of the most important causes for a
shortage of good draft horses and
mules which already exists and
which may become more serious dur
ing the next few years, There are
plenty of nondescript and poor types
of ohrses and mules, but the small
supply of better type animals indi-
Gates an opportunity for the farmer
to increase his profits by breeding
mares for the production of colts
that can fell the demand, he said.
A decided increase in the number
of horses and mules that are used
certain conditions for hauling and
delivery work has contributed toward
bringing about the shortage which
should be increased with the foreign
demand that will come as soon as in
ternational commerce assumes a
more normal status, it is std. This
reduction in the cost of horses and
mules together with a drop In the
price of feeds are economic factors
that also will tend to make the short
age more acute.
Under existing conditions, indica-
tions are that horse and mule breed
ers have a brighter day coming and
it is expected that the breeding OF
farm and grade mares will increase
rapidly as farmers see the opportun-
ity for profit, Mr.. Anderson said.
