is not all. There are some men, who If you stuff
them with seven pounds of fat beef day, will be
like Pharaoh's lean line. even it they are not mere
walking skeletons 1t is not in them to thrive and
grow fat. On the other hand, we meet now and

fatten on absolute starvation is unreasonable: but
we want such as will make pork with the smallest
possible drain upon the corn crib When, therefore,
this kind of stock is offered in competition for any
