NORTHAMPTON STOCK RAISING.

The Patron and Cleaner last week
printed an interesting article about
stock-raising In the Rich Square re-
gions. Among other things it said
Before the war between the States
thousands of cattle, sheep and hogs
we're driyen from this section to the
markets of Norfolk, Petersburg and
Richmond every year by the Urquharts,
Thompsons, Tylers, Cottons and other
large farmers of Berthe and Northamp-
ton. After the war cotton was a good
price and farmers found it profitable
to devote all their time and attention
to cotton. From the war mp to two or
three years ago scarcely any attention
was paid to stock-raislng and the farm
ers who before the war were. shippers
Of corn, wheat, cattle, hogs and sheep
not only failed to produce any market
but actually had to depend upon the
western states to supply them with
grain, hay, -four and pork. When cot
ton went below seven cents, the aver
age cost of production, many of our
farmers realized that they could not
longer depend entirely upon King Cot
ton and began to turn back to the old
way OF raising home supplies and hay
ing surplus for market, and each year
the Shipment of sheep, beef, cattle.
pork, hams, eggs and chickens increas-
es and those who have a surplus Of
these articles complain less of hard
times.
Many Northampton farmers have a
surplus of stock to sell each year and at
least two farmers, J. W. Buxton and ].
I. Bolton, of Rich Square, are raising
stock on large scale and make ire
quent shipments by the car load.
