carriages, wagons or carts, always

wheat, straw or fodder for ballast.
Generally in this case the ballast
was in the cabin and the passen-
gers were in the "hold" of the
ship with the matches securely
fastened down so that no woody
head" could peer out from under
the loading.
The ties of this road we're
generally made of rails split like
fence rails and laid down in such
a manner that they formed what
we called corderoy roads and the
cars passed over them or across
them instead Of lengthwise.
This was a little rough, but the
cars seldom left the track unless
the engineer was Informed that
there was a train close behind

each issue by special editorial
matter, written from inception
down to date. The only paper
published especially for people
who do or do not read daily news

were in uniform so that any one
might know them. The pants
were blue jeans and their coats
were of a drab color and we're
generally cut swallow tail. The
crew had peculiar dialect which
was very dear to them and very
assuring to their dark skined
passengers. When the travellers
in the car consisted of man and

Why remain i'll the North

raise during the other six
months?
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round. 1t YOU are stock raiser
YOU know your stock are now
eating their heads off" and,
besides, have to be protected
from the rigors of winter by
expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding re-
quires the combination of both
fiesh-forming and fat.forming
foods i'll certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce
in abundance the velvet bean
and cassava, the first flesh
producer, and the latter a fat
producer, and they are the
cheapest and best fattening ma
terials known to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general FARM
