DE5sE Raise no more wheat

in the Middle and Eastern States, but make
your money out of the Barnyard, as Hirner's
Dairy and Doctor Book tells you.
England has now $l5, 900, 900 invested in
agricultural implements and seeds in India.
Germany obtained the whole of the Congo
territory in West Africa (equal to Ia States
like Pennsylvania) for wheat-raising also,
and they calculate to raise all the wheat
they need themselves soon, leaving the two
thirds of our whole wheat crop we used to
export, on our hands, which will make
wheat SO low. that it will surely ruin the far
mer who persists in wheat raising. Change
your tactics thereto at once, before it is
too late and make your money out OF the
Barnyard RS the above book directs you.
