FAMILY FOOD.
Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No
Cooking.

n II E ~ AL4 E9 81
A little boy down in N. C. asked his
mother to write an account of how
Grape-Nuts food had helped their fam
lily.
She says Grape-Nuts was first
brought to her attention on a visit to
Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor
of that city who was using the food by
the advice of his physician. She
says:
"They derive so much good from it
that they never pass a day without
using it. While / was there / used the
Food regularly. ] gained about is
pounds and felt so well that when I re-
turned home I began using Grape-Nuts
in our family regularly.
my little IS months old baby short
sly after being weaned was very ill
with dyspepsia and teething. She was
sick nine weeks and we tried every
thing. She became so emaciated that
it was painful to handle her and we
thought we were going to lose her.
One day a happy thought urged me to
try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm
milk.
well, 1t worked like a charm and
she began taking it regularly and inn
prOvement set in at once. She is now
getting well and round and fat as fast
as possible on Grape-Nuts.
Sometime ago several of the family
were stricken with LaGrippe at the
same time, and during the worst stages
we could not relish anything in the
shape of food but Grape-Nuts and
oranges, everything else nauseated us.
I'VE all appreciate what your ia
nous food has done for our family"

SOUTHERN
AGRICULTURE
PROFIT IN PIGS.
Best Results Are Obtained BY Breed
ing Pure-Breds to Sell.

Fall pigs can be grown as easily
n fully as fast as spring pigs il one
Is prepared to give them warm, dry
quarters to sleep in and will feed
warm feed in winter. but to get the
best out of them they should come
early in September or not later than
Oct. 1. By this narrowing date, good
care through the winter, put on early
clover and fed well they will be ready
for a June market, which. taken one
year with another, is as good as any
or better. II breeding pigs to sell to
other breeders, one should have pigs
narrowed almost every month in the
year, with possibly an exception dur.
ing December and January. The breed
er OF this kind must try and have
the ages that are demanded over the
different states.
There is another little matter | wish
to mention. this is of one is breeding
to sell to other breeders and has a
trade coming from many quarters,
that he should keep his farm and sur
roundings in good order, neat and at
tractive. First impressions are last
ing, and If a customer comes to your
place and finds everything in a run
down, slovenly condition, he naturally
gets the impression that you are care
less, and if your hogs and pigs are
running together. old and young, and
no marks to identify one litter from
another, he would be very apt to pass
on, and well he should. | have visited
some breeding farms where there was
not a pig marked to distinguish him
from others.
The owner would say that he knew
every pig OF the farm. This may be
the case where there is not many,
but even then suppose this man should
be taken sick for three weeks, he
could not go out and distinguish a
pig. Two or three weeks in a pigs
with him. The best way is to mark
every pig in the litter, and make a
record of it, so there can be no mis-
take. This is, of course, not necessary
unless n is breeding pure-bred pigs
for the trade.
In conclusion, let me say if he be
a breeder of pure breds, to always
keep everything in ship-shape. Do
not have to guess at anything about
your business. Keep your farm and
premises neat, every hog and pig
properly marked, that there may be
no possible mistakes; keep a record
OF the date of narrowing of every lit
ter, the number of males and females
in each, the name and registry num-
Der OF both sire and dam, and when a
man m to look over your herd be
prepared to answer every question
correctly. Breed good enough animals
so thai you won't have to put up a
sign to show that your hogs are pure
breds; let every one of them be a
living advertisement that you are
breeding good ones.
Breed well. feed well, care for ev-
cry detail carefully, be systematic in
everything, and the breeding of swine,
either for the market or for selling to
other breeders, will be a pleasure and
a profit to you.

Statue Finally COMPLETED.

When Alfred Stevens designed the
noble monument to the duke of Vel
lington in st. Paurs cathedral, Lon
don, he intended that his work should
be crowned by an equestrian statue.
But Stevens died before his design
was carried out. Now, 80 years after
his death, the equestrian statue has
been completed and before long will
be placed in position.

facts, as we all know, are that a

man, the father Of a family, was
shot down in cold blood by a
moral pervert whose degeneracy
has become more and more pro-
nounced every year by living in
luxury that he had no part in
creating. There is an unolean
