There is a fine opening here
for those who wish TO en-
gage in the business. Will
hamsburg would support
two milk routes alone, then
you would have Richmond,
which has 100000 popula-
iron, Newport News with
20, 900 population, Hamp-
ton with 5000, the soldiers
home which has $500 in
mates, Norfolk 36,000popu-
lation, Old Point Comfort
etc. We have two trains
per day each way, also the
boat lines which you could
ship by. There is money in
retailing milk at 8 to 10
cents per quart and whole
sailing it from 20-25 cents
per gallon. Why is this so?
Because the demands great
er than the supply. Our ma
tive farmers keep COWS for
their own use only, they
have none to ship or sell.
We know of no better open
ing for this kind of business.
There is big money in it.

Value OF Salt Meadow.
We have had q great many inQui-
rses regarding our salt meadows. A
great many people don't know what
they are. A salt meadow Is land lying
sf the mouth Of some small creek that
enptirs into the York or James rivers.
At fun tide they overflow, Hne grass
grows On these meadows, and when
the toe Is out you csn drive all over
them, or even walk around without
setting your feet wet. II Is not Ike
tne marshes OF the North. X is not
mirey. IL Is hard and makes the finest
kind o. feeding for cattle. In England
we are told that cattle that are fed
on salt meadows bring the highesl
price. the meat has a favor which
Is hard 10 beat, and Is In great de-
mand. Cattle can feed there ten
months out OF the twelve. A salt
meadow Is q very desirable thing 10
