The Florence Reform-Advance
gives the following good advice to
famers anent the meat question:
why do you keep coming to
town always to buy meat. Do you
raise any hogs in your neighbor-
hood? Here is a plan to get your
meat cheap: Let one hog be killed
every week; let your neighbors go
in on shares, each taking a fourth,
and the by then time your hogs be-
gin to diminish, and the cold
weather sets in, the meat market
will take a tumble, and when4 it
does, it will fall with a mighty
crash. The idea of farmer
giving two pounds of cotton for
one pound of meat. Save your
cotton, kill your own hogs, and by
the latter part of next October, it
would not surprise us to see one
pound of cotton bringing two
pounds of meat. We have heard
some farmers say that it was
cheaper to buy meat than raise it.
Where art thou now would-be
farmer? Lazy farmers are always
apt to find many excuses. Try this
plan, swap with your neighbors,
they are doing the same in the
cities. Divide your meat, try by
every means to do without it until
the price comes within your reach.
