ton in which the state If Virginia.
the United states Agricultural Depart
ment and the Educational Society all
play n part, has conceived the idea
; that his fort is largely tho cattle rails
ling stunt. and tho good work he has

OF what may he don" in Very many
other counties OF Virginia. whether
the object he cattle raising or some
thing else.
The Agricultural Department Of tho
United States has nigh appreciation

object lesson about it. a lesson that
h 1t will be we'll for some other parts
OF Virginia TO read and To heed. The
& account tells what farm demonstra-
tor may do for Il county. and relates
that Mr.. Wysor has put Russell County
we'll on the road to becoming the very
foremost pure bred live stock ,egion of
all of the eastern section ot the United
States. II is true that Mr.. Wysor had
good demonstrators" ahead OF him.
Governor Stuart, for instance, had hcon

2den2onstration in the world. Results

you can set theory and results IN conf

thing. The results that Governor
Stuarts biz cattle farm have brought
forth amply prove the truth of Agent
WySor's theory.
