wise provision God made when he put
the hog and COW here for mans use. But
could man use them If 1t was not for the
grain they eat? Hogs which are killed
are fattened with corn and corn Is raised
by the horse. 1t is quite true that they
could be turned outside. But how about
the hog law? The COW must be fed. also.
Few farmers cultivate the soil with the
OK. Most of them use the horse. Some
of the Haps said that negroes raise their
crops Of tobacco, cabbage, ETC.. by the
work OF the OK. Yes. / have seen some Of
the negroes blowing oxen, but have not
seen very many white farmers pillow oxen.

Cottondale. Texas.-Dear Haps: For the
first time the mighty pen has been grasped
by Hap who comes to vote for the useful
COW. Some are voting for the horse be-
cause they think him more beautiful, but
beauty is not what we are voting lor'
IT Is "usefulness'' Some Hap says: when
was a COW ever known to save ones life!
They save more lives than the horse, be-
cause their flesh and milk contains more
nutriment than any other food. Mix can
sustain life longer than any food. ! sup
pose the helping fund will grow more rap

happy when she gets her new chair. And
