RAISE PORK FOR Your Own USE AND FOR
SALE The oil theory with our farming COM
munity used to be that hog raising was unrroht-
able It is notorious fact that many agrcui-
turists who used to raise from 1000 to 5000
bushels of wheat yearly, always bought their
bacon There were, of conrse, losses to be
met With in the way of stealage --duriog slave
aimes-and there were losses by hogs breaking
into wheat and corn fields; but despite these
drawbacks, the farmer would have found
steady profits accruing even then by raising his
own pork and curing bis own bacon. The
droppings of the hogs for fertllzng purposes
would of itself have been remarkable com
pensation, in itself considered. We would Ike
to enforce this briefly: Immediately at the
close of the war, an old master told one OF his
faithful servants to work as much of his land
as he could, and he would not charge him auy
rent. The oolored man got hog or two, and
cultivated corn on the land assigned him. The
next year the old master told him he might
continue as before The darkey, by way OF
experiment, took The droppings be had saved
Of the penned hogs, and applied as tar as they
would 90. After the crop OF corn matured, ne
separated the crop-taking as many rows that
had none of the fertilizer, and carefully meas,
ured the result, when he found that ne had
gained 10 production, an amount equal to all
the coro that he bad to fed the two hogs the
year before, on the ground where the manure
bad been sypied Fredericksburg Herald.

THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE AND
VIRGINIA ADVERTISER has already en-
tered upon the last gu lrter OF century OF
its existence. Few newspapers in the coun-
Try are its seniors. During all this period
its prominent object has been 20 advance
the interests of the people of whose life 1t
is the daily chronicle. Its fortunes have been
their fortunes; it has shared their prosper
ity and suffered in their disasters. Its in
splrstion has been tho desire to forward the
best interests OF the community in which 1T IS
located, and its own prosperity is, as it has been
purposely made inseparsble from that of the
community that it aims to represent. When
they grow rich it hopes for reward common
surate with its labors While they are poor, it
expects to work with them and for them, ex-
pectins to make their success the measure OF its
own.
