PERMANENT PASTURES

your outlying lands end get an income
from every acre of your farm. Get
ready for the stock law, for you must
either fence up your Stocky or get rid
of them, and it is a lot cheaper to
med down five acres of pasture than
to fence a hund sad acres of woods
end the five acres will be worth the ]
most. a
