PROFITABLE FARMING.

RALEIGH, n, c., clay 5.-Nhile the
newspaper men of this State were
holding their annual convention al
New Berne last week many were
driven out to see the famous trucL
farii9 Of that section.
Among those visited was that oil
Hickman Il Villett This planta.
ton was bought five years ago ioi
$4,000, and the owners now say thoy
would not take 500 600 for it.
It consists of LOCO acres, OF which
600 are in truck and AGO in grass and
pasture. On the latter 200 head Of
cattle subsist, and seventy five cows
yield an average OF $50 gallons OF
milk per day, all of which is sold to
one milk dealer at sixteen cents Der
gallon. The returns from milk last
year were over $1,000.
Cabbage forms large item in Tic
truck business on this farm, seventy.
i've acres being set in cabbage The
heads wero just ripening, and the
outing began this week There
were 600,9O0 plants, all set out OF
transplantod by hand.
There ara 200 acres in Irish pota
toes, which produce an average OF
seventy 'tive bushels an acre. and
sometimes the yield runs up to owe,
100 bushels.
Nearly fifty acres in snap beans is
another item, and there ure green
peas, asparagus, etc, in the greatest
abundance.
This farm in 1891 sold $4,000
worth of stuff, the cost of produc
ton being just half that amount, O,
$4,000. Last year the profits were
not 80 great, but they expect tc
make $4,000 clear again this year.
This is only one of dozens OF such
farms. Another, which was visited
that OF Meadows & Crockett, hand.
in the field were found picking pea:
"a very interesting sight. There
were 600 of them SO engaged at on,
time. They get twenty-five cents ,
basket, and average four to six bas
kets day.
These Two truckers make their ow,
fertilizers and manufacture all th,
boxes and barrels used in shipping
their stuff,
This kind of farming pays in tn
South, but of course all farmers cou],
not engage in it without Cutting til

plated so full that it stands out straight
about the hips. rather emphasizing the
slenGerness of the waist and calling atten-
ton to the graceful slope of the hips instead
of adding to the size of either. Large

able of errors in considering this fash

ried up over the shoulder as well,

is found associated with another odd fash
ion, that of using white mouSseline de sole
