 lsJ Plaat food and feed c.e9s enough to supply all our needs aud half as much more. NI-s2 Eseagss 75 per cent ot tas people live oa t1e farm.

Ten again. tAe crop zeaaoa might be b5a and the yield small. Ii that event tie D per cent extra cal oulatc5 upon Wii take care of tie de GcieHcy. Il the crops are good. tae surplus viii sell this Sear at coed prices, for tae world needs and must have food stuH end feed.
 2nd keep all female livestock and breed all that are suitable. With the price Of meat SO high 1t is little less than criminal to slaughter or sell for slaughter either milch COWS or brood sows. Every one in existence in the United States should be kept for breeding purposes. Keep the brood mares and breed them to horses. Don't raise mules. Raise horses, for only in that way can the breeding stock be kept up.
 3rd. Plant plenty of corn It is the greatest farm product We have. Ii fills many needs and wants, and We cannot produce 6 surplus this year. It is good for man or beast.
 4th. Eo not oyarcrop yourself La bor will be scarce. Every man who takes up arms Gessens the labor. Don't make the mistake of planting more than you can cultivate. Plant less, and fl you have surplus of labor you can work your crop better, and longer and it will make bigger yield. This is common sense. and you should heed it. From eight 10 ten million dollars are lost in =Arkansas every year by farmers oyer2robfins and raderworktng. Decrease the acre age; increase the yield.
 5Jh. Plant good stud Get good seea The prices are going to be hien and sou eaa afford to buy good seed and raise the best
 6.h. Get away from tae crop morl- gage and keep away from ie. Il isI neither your friend nor beaat51t2rI but only a poor malsesilift
 7th. Plant plenty of COW peas and goobers. both of which are good for food, good for fed and good for the land
 Sth. Make plenty o hay and save it. f3r it ta good and cheap feed
 gth Remembee that Foand of pork is worth as much or more than pound of cotton; that you can buy the cotton with the pork easier than you can buy the pork with the cotton, and that you can eat the pork and cant eat the cotton.
