FARM
S!ssEOCK
LONG-HAIRED GOATS
GROWING IN FAVOR


While goats are among the oldest
of domestic animals, in our own coun.
try they occupy a minor place in the
farm economy. Yet specialized
goats, or special purpose goats" we
might better call them, can be made
a profitable adjunct to the live stock
program of most farms.
Growing In popularity and impor-
lance is the Angora goat, or long
haired "mohair" goat. These animals
are great weed and brush eradicators,
and can be advantageously pastured
with horses, cattle, sheep or swine.
They are godsend in timbered coun-
try and to clear land Of weeds and
brush. They are as easily kept as
other farm animals and are usually
hardy and rather more free from dis
case than ordinary live stock.
Well-bred Angoras are handsome, at
tractive and intelligent animals that
are interesting to raise and profitable
for those who give them proper atten-
ton. Certain strains of Angoras are
clean, white, nonpugnacious nonodor-
GUS animals that are a delight to
young and old. These specially bred
Angoras grow very long fieeces, and
1t is the extra long mohair that COM
mands the fancy price. Some of this
product is said TO be worth as high as
$50 pound. This means the longest
portion of the clip, which is sorted and
graded at shearing time and sold as
extra long staple. The shorter mohair
sells for 81 a pound-sometimes more.
and sometimes less, depending upon
the market.
In these days when many farmers
are looking around for ways and means
to diversity without materially increas-
ing their farm equipment. the Angora
ought to appeal to the enterprising as
a source of profit-especially on cheap
or rough lands and on farms not
quoted at fancy prices.

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Or. KiImer'S Swamp Root

Have you ever stopped to reason why
il is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate TO recommend for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
K liners Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by parcel post. Address DR..
Kilmer Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

TRAFFIC BODY WINS
 POINT TN RATE CASE
Secure Combination Loading Of
 Cars At Single Rate

A partial victory was scored by To- cal manufacturers in the stove freight rate case, heard before the public serv- ice commission sometime ago, it was announced by c. E. Jones, secretary of the Birmingham Traffic association, Wednesday.
 According to a decision, a material reduction will be forced on rates for carload traffic in addition to an en- larged commodity scope which will al- low a shipper to load all articles manu- factured at his plant in a single car at a common rate.
 Examiner Allredge, however, refused to deal with the less carload commod- ity rate, a point fought for by the traf- fic association.
 The stove rate question is considered important to the district since more the district since more than a half million dollars is invested in stove factories here and the average daily output is approximately 12 carloads.
 Local manufacturers were represented at the hearing before the commission by o. L. Bum, manager of the Chamber of Commerce, and MT. Jones.

Many Departments Hit
 As Work On Budget Progresses

q Several city hall departments felt the keen edge of the municipal pruning knife Thursday as the city commission, in secret conference, revised once more fhe figures that will form the financial budget for the next fiscal year.
 s President McLendon admitted that several trims had been made, but de- tlined to give out details. He did ad. init that the park board was one of the affected departments. Z The police and firemen are assured of their salary increase. McLendon said, but there is no chance to increase the size of either force at this time.
 According to McLendon, the pro- posed gasoline tax has made no head way among the commissioners and will be killed It is not needed, anyway, he declared. Asked to state how the salary increases would be financed, he Said: Ut will be done, but wait un- til the budget is completed"
 s Commissioner Harrison, author of the gasoline tax proposal, explained Thursday that he offered it only as final resort to help the policemen and firemen, and declared he would with draw it if their salary raises could be arranged out of the general revenue.
 Other way SOugnt
 My purpose in proposing this tax" Harrison said, twas as a final resort, provided the money could not be found from the available revenue to raise the salaries of our policemen and fire men. I favored a levy of one cent gallon, in line with what the stase of Alabama and some of its municipalities are doing. l still feel that this tax is equitable and sound, but if there is any other way to raise the money for the salary increases, will not press it At this time.
