Blood

Feed pale girls on SCOTS

We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at its best,

Notes by the Way.

About two years ago Wiley Kelly
and nephew, W. A. Robinson form
ed a partnership and are now
successfully engaged in hog raising
They have 100 acres under modern
hog fence. besides a large crop of
diversified feedstuff. They have
thorouhbred hogs and are going to
do everything possible to show
what is in hog raising in Brazos
county. They will have nice
crop of hogs for market this fall.
The boil weevils are not knocking
the squares off very badly from
the hog crop.
While out in behalf Of the Eagle
last Thursday ran upon one OF
the good old time farmers; he made
me feel good especially my appe-
tite.
This man has a small farm but
he told me he owed no man. Had
plenty of old corn, he showed me
a nice patch of hogs Of about 20
saying he has never bought any
meat but always sells meat and
lard. He also has ten acres ofgoob-
ers, peas, potatoes, and other hog
feed. And, by the way, this is no
one but our old neighbor B. A. Hug
ghins. He does not go to town and
talk hard times and boil wsevils.
