    Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 3-The increasing popularity of the mountain variety of Alabama “moonshine” was effectively demonstrated during the hearing of a case in J. Q. Smith’s division of the Circuit Court here. Evidence adduced also brought out the fact that a new field has opened up for the activities of the prohibition forces.
    Briefly, “extract of corn,” according to testimony offered, is now finding addicts among the bovine species.
    Three ordinary milk cows belonging to Henry Culp, of Shades Mountain, left as usual one morning for their customary pasturage. With the shades of evening two of them returned home in a deplorably intoxicated condition, one of them dying later of acute alcoholism.
    Investigators found the third menber of the bovine booze party, dead, close by an illicit still and a quantity of “mash”.
    An interesting question in connection with the case-which has not yet been answered-is:
    Did the lone, surviving cow yield milk punch instead of the straight lacteal fluid for the first few days immediately succeeding her “jag”?
