ROf courfe a change of diet is good for
woman, man and beast, but except for
change of diet, believe the stock of
Georgia can b. well kept upon Milo and
its products, if corn. oats and hay were
dropped from our list of productions.
DO not misunderstood me. II is not
my proposition to cease the raising of
corn, oats and hay. No. would have
Georgia rs fat as she can he. ] would
like to see every crib well covered. and
not only our stock in perfect condition;
hut more of it, and kept at less cost.
MILO WILL. DO IT.
Ircpeat. however, that il we had no
grass, land sometimes this is a sad fact
nor any corn, nor oats, nor bran. our
horses, mules and cows could he run cx.

want to see next spring the faces and
hear tho testimony of those who have
fed Milo seed heads next year to their
hogs. The hog and fowl do their own
grinding.

that change Of diet with Milo, thus put
ting stop to the bringing of corn, oats
and hay from other States.
Milo says: You need not do that any
more.
Remember, Milo grows, drouth or no
drouth! 1t is sure crop!

plant and cultivate it in, and to harvest
seed, fodder and cane from successfully.
But what have we to credit it with:
Nearly one half the cost of corn.
No more corn.fodder pulling.
No more tribute for baled hay.
No more scrimping on crab-grilss.
Less wheat and less oats.
EtAnd an indefinite increase of hog and
poultry raising.
There il more to be said, and trust,

Mr.. President and Gentlemen: Why
send your thousands of dollars out OF
your State for corn, bacon and hay,
when here is nutritious, palateable
grain, fodder and cane, which laugh at
your drouths,' and only asks fair trial
to save you all that bleeding drain upon
your resources!
Why, have been, and am feeding,
my stock with these canes, which cost
me, in one sense, nothing, while hay to.

believe Milo settles that terrible
word forage. remember how ] found
that word staring Georgia in the face
over six years ago when came to dwell
among you. Much study and expert
ment with various plants had tried my
patience sorely in trying to find escape
for us, but I abandoned the search as
many before me had done.
Now, il any of you can appreciate my
qualification when, on January |, 1888,
the time which / had set as a two
months test of Milo cane for rough feed,
found could tell the good news, ! be.
lieve you will pardon an enthusiasm
which appears to have such backing.
know what mine eyes have seen.
know the excellent condition OF my
stock.
know some little of the many bene-
fits which Milo will bring to my fellow
farmers of Georgia.
know, that with a patch Of rich SOIL
every man in Georgia can do again what
have done this winter.
telieve that barn of Milo cane will
out feed two barns of like size filed with
any kind of roughness.
An acre of Milo ought to make $1,000
to 10000 canes, and they cut fine in a
hay.cutter. should feed roughness to 90
head of stock for five months.
Milo will enable the farmers of Georgia
to make more of everything.
NV friends, il you will take hold of
Milo earnestly, and all together, yon will
work revolution for our grand old com.
monwealth.
May God speed the day when you
make
