are of a pure strain and are to be sold breeders and growers. 

 The herd now includes a number of Alabama born calves that 

 are strong and thriving and whose birth and breeding is as 

 good as' the best of the herd. 



Mrs. Hagan has also a drove of Berkshire hogs. Her barn 

 yards are covered with fine chickens and geese, for these things 

 are the usual accompaniments of a Kentucky farm and this 

 Alabama stock farm is being run on the Kentucky plan. The 

 geese are of the Hong Kong variety and the chickens are pure 

 Plymouth Rock. It is a way that the Kentucky people have 

 of insisting on the best and purest breed whether it be of ani- 

 mals, fowls or of farm products. Geese and chickens from the 

 Hagan farm will be seen at the coming Poultry Show in Mont- 

 gomery. Mrs. Hagan also could exhibit some of the finest 

 fox terriers in Alabama. 



Being a distinctly stock farm the Hagan place, that is the 

 acres in cultivation, are being put out in alfalfa, hay and corn. 

 There is no place for cotton on the farm.
