I farm- j ed this year on halves and will ^ have some supplies for nex* year 8 if I can save them. 1 want to buy a piece of land, say fifteen ^ acres in cultivation, on the in- -j stallment plan. The land in this section, as you perhaps know, is light gray or s mdy with yellow subsoil, which land is generally poor, t I believe that I can pay for a ? small piece raising hogs. I 1 mean to raise pork as a money < crop, we have good local mark- ? et, also produce all supplies on t land- i 1 would thank you for any t advice as to feeds suitable for '< stock of hogs.

Do not think 1 ol failing. You c ui buy and ( pay for a place all right. Tt will ; require close living and hard work, but a home i9 worth the struggle and the self-denial" Both are cood in themselves an 1 1 are the promoters o! all our best virtues. We would get two good 1 sows, and sell their pigs. Then 1 plant, say, live acres in cotton, 5 and rest in loodstulT. Try to |8 clear your cotton money to pay 1 on ycur place. Get a good cow 1 and fifty liens. Let the cow 1 hens and hogs feed you.and you 1 can soon pay for your land. Save every ounce ol the man- ' ure, and grow every pound o! 1 lood you can. Sow some rape, ' sorghum, peas, and peanuts. 1 Then corn and oats. We wish c you success. It will co'jje hard, 1 but it will be worth all the el- 1 fort that it will cost. c A clever, popular Candy Cold Cure Tablet?called Prevent it's-?is being ( dispensed by druggists everywhere.
