fifty acres, made 10000 slaves, and has
raised enough wheat this year to supply
the family, and has planted abOnt twenty
acres Of corn this year, He moved on the
place without any being cleared, payed
$40 per acre for his land, 5000 down and
the balance in four years, without interest.
Now he could sell 1t for $50 per acre, and
has the prospect OF raising 1000 bushels
OF corn this year. 10 show the profits;
100 acres cost 81 900, now worth $1,000;
10000 slaves are worth 81 200; corn and
wheat this year will he worth about $500.
He raised enough last year to supply his
wants.) Total income, counting increase
IN value Of land, Is alone $4,000, Ye
lIenedictsl why drag your families "out
West" to shake with fever and ague,

The primitive style ID West Virginia
according to this correspondent was as
follows:
They had no mills to grind corn or
wheat. 10 make meal Of the corn, they
chopped of log two or three feet IN
length, set II on one end, placing mud
around the outside; then they built fire
In the centre and Let II burn until itwaS
burned out the desirable depth. They
then made pestle OF wood, placed the
corn In the hollow burned out, and pro.
Ceeded to pound II into meal. After the
peStling waa done, oil that was not fine
enough for meal made good hominy.
Such was the manner Of procuring meal
IN West Virginia at that time.
