Our Projjreccive Farmer Boyo 7 No ginning outfit is so economical and efficient as this The efficiency of a ginner's Slant is what brings him his usiness its economy in opera t tion is what gives him his profit. ' No ginning outfit turns out ; such a .perfect sample as the. Munger System nor does any other gin cost so little to operate 1 or require so little repairs. , The Munger System uses a " snallerfan than any othersystem of equal capacity and this one fan both elevates the cotton and - bjows the seed. The continue ; ous suction gives a steady load , to the power instead of the jerky load of other outfits. ' The Munger System will , handle cotton perfectly under all conditions, having a greater, j cleaning and drying capacity than an v other gin. , Having a cleaner section in the Lint 1 lue E3 mSMm Outfit System C sPWPrWPSjsjaw it also cleans the cotton after it leaves the gin. Our double drive distributor makes it possible to successfully run six gins in a battery" with. ,oniy one condenser ana press. . And at any time one or more of the gins may be cut out without stopping the others, t ! :, " We have prepared and convrishted a solen- d idly-illustrated book which gives full details ol the;' Munger System in its different combinations. It. has cost us considerable to produce this. book but we will be pleased to send a free copy to all wno are interested in cotton ginning. ; Miss., the boys have a pig f eeding ; contest, and as a re- suit, there are more- gooa nogs in that county than ever before. .

If these can not be had, then green corn, sorghum, Vor any other, green stuff he will eat. r In order to obtain variety, at least two other feeds will probably be found .necessary; in ad dition to the green, feed. If fed care fully and not in too large quantity, 'roasting ears' : produce rapid and good gains. . -"In addition, some feed rich in protein will be necessary. time be careful to give no more than he will eat up clean.
