Beef production is a question that is constantly setting a pri - blem for the entire world. Suet feeding possibilities as are in tb< whole coast country of Nortl Carolina can not escape the im perative demands of the mean buying population. If there is any place that hthe natural home of the beef steer it is certainly ' Eastern North Carolina, and the two drawbacks so far have been the cattle tick, and the lack oi familiarity with cattle feeding which has been the natural out come of the tick. With the tick disposed of intelligent men will speedily show the farm what cat tie mean for it, and there can be ne possible doubt for the result Gtls Ifs First Railroad Farmviile commenced its rea] life hardly more than a score of years ago, for at the beginning it was isolated from the railroads. Tben H.
