It grows here in greatest abundance, and tons of the roots are raked from the gardens and patches around the city every spring. Capt. Bush Lumsdem has just shipped a ton of the roots to Manager Withoft of the Ohio Fruit Farms at Fort Valley. Mr. Withoft will plant and cultivate the roots with a view to making a meadow on which to pasture cat tle. He has just decided to in vest largely in cows to raise beef cattle, and has become impressed with the idea that nothing will take the place of bermuda in feed ing them. He expects to have his meadow well set within three or four months, because he will plant the roots in drills and then cultivate them just as he would corn until the runners have lapp ed and matted the earth.” where they will, spend the day fish on mg.

Dear Madam: It takes numerous visits from a salesman to establish a paint agency in a town. Several well-painted sample houses do the business quickly, and therefore in your town we intend to spend mon ey in FREE PAINT, rather than on salesmen’s visits.
