We believe the estimated population
of the South is 10000, 900 souls, one-third
of whom are negroes. 10000 900 of this
population doubtless live in the cotton
they annually consume. The Georgia
State buys annually $16,Q00,0OO worth of
based upon this data, for, each of the
other cotton States, there eau be nodues-
tion but that the cotton States spend an
nuaiiy one hundred millions OF dollars

lowing twelve and half dollars per cap
| ita for the annual consumption Of bought
meat by the men, women and children
| of the cotton States If this were paid
| for in cash 1t would buy enough, to do al
| most two years; but as tho bulk of it Is
bought on q credit, nearly twice as much
Is paid for 1t as it is worth" We are con-

were to buy in October an Essex pig, 1--WE
have no pigs for sale) that by the end OF
twelve monthS there would be enough
home-raised meat in the South TO save
one-fourth of that vast amount Of money,
If these pigs received daily the slops

Southern households properly utilized
are worth about $25,000,O00 annually.
