HERDS AND FLOCKS AND HORSES.

tin* phantom millions of Wall Street, fascinated by dreams of 

 city life, the brawn and muscle of the country have been drawn 

 in millions to these conjested masses, to live lives that for the 

 most part have done little good for themselves, and nothing 

 for the country. 



It is time to "Go Back to the Farm" ; not to the hard labor 

 and toil of our fathers, but to the pleasant and profitable 

 business of breeding. Not also, to the raising of the old-time 

 Texas steer and razor back hog, but to produce pure-bred stock, 

 one of which will yield double, treble, quadruple the price of 

 the stock that "father used to raise." 



To meet, therefore, the rapidly increasing and fast-grow- 

 ing population, and consequently the crying demand for meat 

 at reasonable prices, as well as the enormous calls upon 

 America from every country on earth, for her refrigerator, as 

 well as her canned meats, the breeding and stock raising in- 

 dustry, with its ever ready and profitable markets, presents 

 by far the greatest opportunity for the country bred youth of 

 America to make money, to make it quickly, and to make it in 

 such a way, that with a level head, failure is next to impossi- 

 ble. "The people must be fed."
