FINE INVESTMENT IN CALVES
Writer Tells of Profitable Experience
Ia Buying Up Young Animals
Feed Cost but Little.

Now is the time for farmers who
have more hay than they can feed, to
buy calves, for they will make a fine
investment. At least my experience
proves so, says a writer in an ex-
change. Three years ago we bought
IL calves, as we had more hay than
we could use. It was cOwpea hay.

spring they were nice, sleek and fat.
