1t is not only sound business but
also good farming to buy pure bred
live stock, farm seeds, and eggs for
Matching from accredited flocks, in
your own county, wherever that can be
done. You can rely on the integrity
Of men you know, can assure yourself
OF the quality of the animals, and be
sure that the seed is suitable TO your
soil, having the record of its prUduc-
ton in your own neighborhood-
No man who farms in the Richmond
radious need go marketing all over the
country for choice hogs. He can find
AS good lot of Chester Whites, Big
Type Polands, Duroc-Jerseys, Hamp-
shire Belts or Berkshires, as a man
needs wish, within easy distance OF
Richmond. This also applies to a
number Of breeds of cattle. and surely
SO as to poultry, there being many
fanciers of choice poultry Of various
strains in Wayne county, from whom
eggs and breeding stock may be obtain
ed. This is also true as to breeding
stock in adjacent counties.

Seeking Farm Job or Help?
If you are wanting a job on a farm,
and have worked previously on a farm
and claim to be experienced, you are
invited to call on the county agent

house, or to write him a letter lie
will file your name for reference, ad-
dress. etc, but is more likely to tell
you at once of places where you can
find work. State if married or single
and other particulars. Farmers need
ing help are applying to Mr.. Dolan.
and now and then men call at this
Office in quest Of jobs. and farmers, too
have asked us regarding men. We
think that both sides will be benefit
ted by fling their wants with Mr..
Dolan, although the Palladium is al
ways willing to lend A hand toward
getting the man and the job to-
gether.

conducting experiments in cattle feed
ing for several months with the object
of determining fattening costs under

two-year old steers have been used
in this experiment, and these will have
been on feed 112 days on April 20.
