il"G actual experience in farm work
anu mace a success of it. In addi-
| Iloh to these there is a number on the
program who are connected with the
University of Florida and the Exten-
sion DIVISION and a few from outside
the State. 'N'''i'0
Inc farmers of the State who are
Interested in learning about the diff
le'ent breeds Of cattle and hogs
shoulo not fail to attend this meet
ing ana hear the talk given by Col.
A. M. Judy of Chicago, Field Repre-
sentative of the Aberde Angus
Breeders Association, and also an ad.
dress by 7. G. Chastain, Field Repre-
sentative of the Shorthorn Breeders
ASSOCIATION. Both of these men are
well KnoWn among Aberdeen Angus
ana Shorthorn breeders of the u. S.
ana they are in position to give the

breeds Of cattle
Col. R. J. Evans of Chicago. Secre-
tary Of the Duroc-J JERSEY Breeders
ASSOCIATION will be present and tell of
the merits of the Duroc-J Jersey hogs.
Every farmer in Florida who is inter
ested IN hogs should by all means be
at this meeting and hear Col. Evans
talk on Duroc-Jersey hogs.
Mr.. I. c. Herlong, successful live
stock man in Micanopy, Fla, and who
owns one Of the best Poland China
herds in Southeastern U. S. will be
present and tell the merits of Poland
Chlnas. Mr.. Herlong has a herd of
Poland-Chinas that he should well be
proud Of as there are very few superb
or Poland-Chian herds in the South
ern States.
DR.. A. H. Logan of the Bureau f
Animal Industry, will be at the meet
ing and talk on hog cholera. This
is a subject that is always popular
with the live stock men of the State,
because there is always more OF less
hog cholera in Florida. However,
DR.. Logan hopes to see the day when
hog cholera will be eradcated from
the State and no longer one of the
handicaps Of the industry.
Another important subject on the
program is that part of it that will
be taken up by the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board. The State Live
Stock Sanitary Board is a new de-
parture for live stock men of Florida,
and we believe that the Board is in
position at the present time to out
line its plans and future work and
tell what it expects to accomplish,
and how they expect to be of help and
assistance to the farmers of the State.
Another important feature of the
program is the subject of silo con-
struction and the feeding Of silage.
This comes on the last day of the
meeting and any farmers IN the State
who are interested in the construc-
ton silos, making of silage and the
feeding of silage should by all means
attend this part of the meeting.
It should be remembered too, that
the railroads have reduced rates for
this meeting, which should be quite
an inducement to those who live at a
distance. Make inquiries of your To-
cal ticket agents in regard to re-
duccd rates.
