Open-Minded?
The average American
is open-minded.
American business is con-
ducted by true Americans of
vision, open-minded men who
believe in their country and strive
to meet their country’s needs.
The men in the packing industry
are no exception to the rule.
The business of Swift &
Company has grown as the na-
tion has progressed. Its affairs
have been conducted honorably,
efficiently, and economically, re-
ducing the margin between the
cost of live stock and the selling
price of dressed meat, until today
the profit is only a fraction of a
cent a pound—too small to have
any noticeable effect on prices.
The packing industry is a big,
vital industry—one of the most
important in the country. Do
you understand it?
Swift & Company presents

The. lvestock industry In the
Bouthern states is progressing at a
rapid rate. Some of the things beef-
eattle exiension specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture are doing to encourage a com-
bination of live-stock production with
cotton growing are described in recent
reports from the field. As a result of
thelr activities thousands of pure-bred
cattle are belong shipped into every
Southern state and carloads of fat
stock are being sent to livestock mar
kets from farms where cotton for-
merly was grown exclusively.
During a recent month the special-
ists visited 154 farms in 113 counties
in the states of Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Tennessee, and
traveled 32587 miles to give specific
instructions to farmers and to con-
fer with other extension workers on
beef production. They attended ten
meetings, held twelve demonstrations,
and through their efforts a total of
120 purebred bulle 324 purebred
cows, and 1.8005 grade cattle were
placed on farms the different
in
states. During the month also a gen-

and federal representatives of the de
partment of agriculture, directors of
state experiment stations and exten
sion workers, state agents, veterinar-
fans, and others interested in promot-

South.

cattle specialists Is to assist with the
livestock work in connection with
livestock shows, and county and state
fairs. They assist breeders in mak-
ing selections of feeding animals for
shows, in arranging judging contests
and demonstrations, and in securing
better classifications and premiums
for worthy exhibiis, all of which has
been the means of arousing interest
and making livestock exhibits a more
attractive feature at the fairs
“The beef-cattle specialists from Ar
kansas made an exhibit at the tri-
state fair held in Memphis in which
was shown the best methods of feed-
ing and raising live stock. Improved
cuttle-feeding sheds, feeding bunks
and silos were shown together with a
number of instructive placards giving
such information as suitable fattening
rations for 1,000-pound steers, and
wintering rations for the breeding
herd, Farmers were urged to cull
their breeding herds at this time of
the year and dispose of all inferior
animals. Arkansas farmers, particu-
larly in the ricegrowing sections
where there is abundant pasture andl
plenty of straw, have been good buy-

the extension specialists say, though
the farmers are fast awakening to the
possibilities of the live-stock Industry,
It is reported that the holdings of one
company alone would carry 20000

Reports from Georgia say that pas
tures are good and feed is plentiful,
particularly velvet beans, and that une
doubtedly there will be a large num-
ber of cattle fed in that state this
year. The specialists are continually
being called upon to locate feeder ent

Florida, and several large shipments
have already been made from the
Southwest and other sections, It is
estimated that 100 carloads will be

Feeding demonstrations are being

have been made to conduct them

will be given to demonstrations in
pasturing velvet beans, and velvet

In South Carolina also the demand

for fall and winter feeding, far ex-

Commendation has been voiced by
live stock farmers and the trade con

graphic information of a public or
commercial character relative to the
Chicago live stock market. Previous
to the last few months such reports
were sent out promiscuously by pri
vate individuals who, in some cases,
were accused of manipulating the re
porte in favor of one Interest or an-
other. At least, this sentiment per
vaded the trade to the extent that the

It was on this account that Uncle

stock, this being one of the important
features of the service, as trading at

Millions are now suffering from the
after effects of the deadly “fla” a
fever or a cold. Their appetites are
poor; they are weak, and they are
waiting for thelrstrength to come hack,
If these people could only realize
that the return to health and strength
would be greatly helped by giving at-
tention to the stomach--that is, remov-
ing the acidity and toxic polsons from
the entire digestive tract, making it
act naturally, so that the body will
receive the full strength of the food
eaten—a great deal of suffering would
be saved to humanity.
Everyone knows that the disease it.
self, and the strong medicines that
have been taken, upset the stomach,
leave it hot and feverish, the mouth
dry, the tongue coated, a nasty taste,
and no desire to eat. This is a poor
foundation to bulld new strength on.
Now, tens of thousands of people all
over this country are using EATONIC
for the purpose of cleaning these
poisonous after-effects right out of the
system and they are obtaining wonder-
ful resglis-— so wonderful! that the
amazingly quick benefits are hardly
believable, just as shown In the re
markable letter which is published
upon the request of this sturdy old Civil
War veteran, Hels 77 years old. Read

You want to enjoy life again after
