An entire session was devoted tc
the discussion of the eradication ol
the cattle tick. Encouraging reporu
were made of the work of tick eradi
cation In Montgomery, Wilcox, Dal
las and Elmore counties. The Asso
elation passed resolutions endorsini
the warfare against ticks and urglni
county commissioners to pfovlde suf
detent funds from the county trees
uries to employ an adequate numbei
of local Inspectors, in addition t<
those provided by State and Federa
authorities. Strees was laid on tb<
fact that the greater the number o
men and the shorter the time requlr
<k! for complete eradication of ticki
in any county, the smaller Is the tota
cost of the work.

the official* work in any county li
effective chiefly in getting the farm
er* interested, rather than in de
stroying ticks. Thorough and ef
fective work cannot be done until
public sentiment thoroughly sustains
the authorities.
Considerable attention was given
to the subject of fitting live stock for
the fairs. T. U. Jones, speaking on
"Fitting Hogs for Show and for
Breeding." pointed out the necessity
of a correct choice of the beet ani
mal and care In feeding a balanced
ration. He reported an Improvement
in the demand for the best grade of
pure-bred stock and urged breeders
of this class of animals to make lib
eral use of printer's ink in advertis
ing. Mr. Allgood, In fitting pigs for
the show ring, would begin a few
weeks after birth, by weaning and
separating from the sow a part of
the pigs, so as to leave the dam dur
ing the latter half of the suckling
period oniy mree or lour oi me most
promising pigs from which the show
pig Is to be chosen. He makes free
use of a brush In Improving tbs
hog’s coat and on this brush uses a
little kerosene.
• Mr. T. J. Watt reported a success

shire* in spite of predictions of
neighbors that be would not be re
paid for the heavy Investments be
made iu the best obtainable founda
tion stock. He stated that he has
been able to produce pork at a price
as low as $2.45 per 100 pounds live
wight. In this ease the food was
peanuts supplemented by a little
corn. He has found It necessary to

begin with several promising pigs
in order to get one ready to become
a winner at the fairs. This is be
cause even experienced breeders are
liable to make mistakes in attempt
ing to pick out the best young pigs.
His plan of feeding is to feed for
the production of lean meat through
out the pig’s entire life. Thirty days
before showing he begins to wash,
curry, and grease show animals and
to keep them in perfectly clean quar
ters; indeed, his whole herd is given
every month a greasing with a mix
ture of 1 gallon of cottonseed oil, 2
ounces of carbolic acid and 2 ounces
af salycllic acid. A week before the
exhibition the dally greasing is made
with equal parts of sweet oil and
1 alcohol.
Mr. T. J. Blow, of Escambia
County, related a favorable experl
’ ence in raising Shorthorn cattle.
They are sustained throughout the
