Backing Up the Beef Industry

The beef cattle industry is undergoing a change.

Stock cattle from the range countries have hereto-

fore been shipped in large numbers into the corn

belt states each year and there fattened for mar-

ket. As a considerable portion of the range ter-

ritory has been plowed up and devoted to grain

farming, the supply of cattle for feeding pur-

poses from this source has been diminished.

As a result, the farmer of the corn belt is con-
fronted with the proposition of securing enough
stock to which to feed his crops. Although the sit-

uation is not bad as yet, it has been responsible for a

shortage of receipts at the various large stock

yards and a correspondingly high price of meat to

the consumer.

Pierce's Farm Weeklies

Are equal to the occasion and are pointing out
in articles such as the one shown on this page
that more permanent profits can be made un-
der the new order of things than heretofore.
This is only another illustration of the practi-
cability of the policies governing Pierce's Farm
Weeklies which for years have embodied primarily
a faithfulness to the principle of giving money-making
information to the readers through the editorial col-
umns. Naturally, farmers want such papers because
they open up an avenue to wealth; hence, the great circulation

of Pierce's Farm Weeklies.

310,000 Combined Guaranteed Circulation

Since October 1st, 1912, a combined circulation of 310,000 for the three pa-

pers has been guaranteed and will be proven by post office receipts if desired.

This circulation is divided between the papers as follows:

These papers, at the combination rate of $1.25 a line, are the best buy in

the Corn Belt, quality and quantity considered.

and "Wise"-in both senses—

are the farmers of Nebraska. They do not
"fall for" fake advertising or trashy, catch-
penny schemes, and the publisher who
offers it to them imperils his property.
The average farm family in this greatest
agricultural state is worth $18,000 this
year, and making clean money faster than
any other class in the United States.

The Nebraska Farm Magazine

is Nebraska's best farm paper because it
accurately reflects its shrewd, substantial,
high-minded clientele. It does not accept
medical, fake or fraudulent business.

It is a Profitable Investment and

Pays Out Big

for good, honest, high-class propositions,

such as tractors, incubators, hides, silos, farm

implements, automobiles or household

goods.
