Attention, Farmers,

Why remain in the north and stay
indoors six months In the year con-
Stunning what you raise during the
other six months?
Go south where you can work out
doors every month in the year, and
where you are producing something
the year round. If you are a 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 requires
the combination of both flesh forming
and fat forming foods in certain pro-
portions. Alabama and Florida pro-
duce in abundance the velvet bean
and cassava, the first flesh producer
and the latter a fat producer, and
they are the cheapest and best fatten-
ing materials known to the world.
More money can be made and with
less labor, in general farming, fruit
and berry growing and truck garden
ing along our road in the south than
in any other section of the union.
If you are interested and desire
further information on the subject.

ton and Industrial Agent. Louisville
