Township, in Wake, near Eagle Rock. We
took our flock in hand about the first ol
December. 1879 and began to feed them
with mixed corn and some peas in the hull
so with occasional lots of cotton seed In
my barn yard. We also went to the forest
and raked up some woods mold, and leaves
for litter. When it was necessary, we re-
peated in alternate layers. Then to our
surprise when spring opened we had enough
OF first class manure to spread one acre
from which we gathered 1000 pounds OF
seed cotton. This paid me amply for my
feed; while we clipped 43 pounds of wool
at 35 cents per pound, making Sl5.O5; al d
sold 9 lambs for 81 80 each, making $l3. so
making total Of fS2o. 30. We still have Gun
