a model country home ought to be
sought after by every country farmer, and,
if earnestly sought, may be found. Such
a home can be found near Williamson,
belonging to Mr.. G. Lang Anderson. A
cottage house, conveniently arranged,
splendidly built and beautifully painted,
Nesting in grove Of small oaks, about
his home stretch broad acres Of productive
and we'll cultivated lands. In his lot may
be seen some Of the finest horses in this
section of the country, and hogs, cows, DC,
in abundance. They are all improved
stock. Mr.. Anderson keeps himself well
posted on stock raising and training, He
has part of his farm fenced off in small
patches, which he makes very rich by
peinning his COWS on them. Then those
patches are planted in "goobers, or soWed
in grasses and in 0 short time he will
have beautiful grass farm where he can
raise all the stock he wants and he will
make money, besides having one Of the
most pleasant occupations man can
select. Why don't more of our young
men select farming as an occupation? Let
