The combined influences of the ids-

farmers Institutes have for the past i25
years hammered away in an effort to
make the growing of live stock an i'm
poftailt feature Of southern agricultuEes
This has been especially true over that

weevil has reached or is expected to
reach in his wake of deyastation;, but
notwithstanding this Oftrepeated qad-

a comparative study of combinations of

In these experiments the calves We're
furnished BY Alabama farmers and .ex-
periments made on the respective

and q satisfactory profit had in each
case. But the 8oVershadowing feature
of Theses experiments is in showing the
