Mr.. Pharr has found that tie
ideal ration is wheat shorts, rice
polish, high grade tankage and

The life Of the average hog in
times past was uncertain, cholera
and other disease sweep them
away by the thousands there is no
such calamity happening on Or
ange Grove. No sir!
Literally hogs are bred, born
and raised-raised to a market
able age for the packer or for
breeding purposes.
Mr.. Hog has proved himself a
valuable and almost indespensi-
Bile friend of the human family,
Mr.. Pharr believes, and he treats
him accordingly.
The diseases Of the hog family
are many, but Mr.. Pharr and his
corps of assistants know them
all, and best Of all, they know
the symptoms, the remedies and
when and how to apply them.
Hence, the small death rate on
Orange Grove.
As with the sugar refinery, his
dairy and beef stock, his cane and
forage crops, Mr.. Pharr leaves
nothing to chance. Nor is any
thing on the plantation, animate
or inanimate. neglected for a mo-
ment.

FARMERS INTERESTED
in DETROIT EIGHT"
Shows in New York and Chicago
Have Upset Forecasts, According
10 Manufacturer.

LAS over - per cent OF our output is
sold to farmers We have been keenly IN
terested in the attitude of farmer motor
car buyers toward cight-Cylmder motors. d"
says Claude $. Briggs. president of the
BriGgs-Detroiter Company, OF Detroit.
which recently announced a five-passen-
ger Eight" at Sl.295
Farmers are conservative when il
comes to buying an automobile and be-
ing well posted on mechanical matters.
their approval or disapproval is a very
vital factor in our business
Believing that perhaps the farmer
would be slow 10 ,.cCcpt the Eight we
based our plans on limited demand
from farmer buyers and big demand
from city purchasers
We hit the nail on the head SO far as
the cities were ConCerned. but We made a
bad guess on tho farmer. who has taken
to the Eight with an entirely unlocked
tor enthusiasm. as shown by the results
Most OF the territory assigned by lis
at these shows was to dealers whose
business is mostly with farmers, and
who. in the aggregate. would have placed
orders with us for more than twice the
number Of Fights We can build this
season. had we allowed them to do so.
Farmers have been quick to realize
the ADVANTAGES Of the Eight especially
for sections where heavy roads and bad
hills prevail The absence Of, vibration
increases very materially the life OF the
working parts of the car. and where an
automobile is subjected to hard service
on account OF had roads or hills. this
factor is most important"
