Green's Pharmacy Co., Bellefonte, Pa. 63-12 ‘John Mignot, E. High St. Grazing Industry Planned for South- ern Tracts Denuded of Timber. New Orleans, La.—Probably no shipment of livestock ever made in this country has been the object of such widespread interest as attaches to a train load of sheep and goats which passed through New Orleans a short time ago, en route from Dry- | den, Texas, to Isabel, La. These ani- mals represent the vanguard of an ar- my of livestock that is being assem- bled to populate the vast cut-over land region of the South, an area of heretofore undeveloped and non-pro- ductive agricultural territory. This first shipment of sheep and goats, which comprised twenty-seven double-decked carloads, which was made by J. W. Bassett, who recently bought and leased a tract of more than 65,000 acres of cut-over pine lands from the Great Southern Lum- ber company, of Bogalusa, La. Addi- tional shipments of cattle, hogs and more sheep will be made by Mr. Bas- sett in the immediate future. Within the next few months many. thousands of cattle and sheep will be brought into the cut-over land region of the southern States, the shipments to come from the cattle country of Texas and from the northwest, where homestead laws that have recently be- come operative soon will cut off the stock-growers from the open range. The stockmen have been attracted to the southern States primarily because it is the only section of the country still having available extensive tracts of pasture lands, but they also have been strongly influenced by the ad- vantages of an abundance of pure wa- ter, dependable rainfall and a climate so mild that stock graze in open pas- tures virtually nine months in the year. ——Owing to short crops and fail- ure to obtain supplies from European countries, Canadian farmers will have to look to the United States for their seeds. Red clover in Canada was a failure, and the bulk of the seed sup- plies must be drawn from the United States. In vegetable seeds the same conditions prevail. Medical. Bellefonte News THIS CASE HAS A HINT FOR MANY DEMOCRATIC WATCH- MAN READERS. A Bellefonte woman has used Doan’s Kidney Pills. She has found them as represented. She wishes her neighbors to know. She publicly recommends them. No need to look further for a test- ed kidney remedy. The proof of merit is here and can be investigated. : Profit by the statement of Mrs. She says: “I suffered from a dull ache across d | the small of my back for several weeks. At times when I bent over or lifted anything a sharp pain shot through my back. I had heard of Doan’s Kidney Pills and I knew that they were good so I began taking them, getting my supply at Parrish’s Drug Store. Doan’s cured me.” _ Price 60 cents at all dealers.
