Have You a cow

In this day OF high prices and diff
sCulties of food transportation the COW
becomes the most valuable asset which
the family can possess. This Is par
tfcularIy true Of the man who lives in
the country, in any OF our small towns
or cities or in the outskirts Of our
larger cities The man Of family is
naturally more concerned about the
maintenance of a COW than the man
without children. IL has been clearly
demonstrated over and over again that
in no way can as much cheap. nouriSh-
ing and desirable food be provided for

COW. There are literally thousands and
thousands OF places throughout the
south where enough land is available to
provide a satisfactory range Tor COW

that attention should again be directed
