Glenburnie Farm.
Chapel Hill News.)


An interesting thing to see these days
is the herd of Berkshire hogs at this farm
They run in large pasture. The ma
irons have clover pasture, while the
Younger ones have alfalfa. 1t was a sight
to see Cherry Blossom, weighing about
$50 pounds, come to the call OF her owner,
lie down at his feet, and grunt as she was
petted.
To show the enterprise of Prof. vii.
liams, we determined to tell our readers
about these animals.
The largest SOW is Cherry Blossom. She
carries the blood OF Combination-the
greatest hog in the Northwest. This hog
gained 20 pounds a week for IL weeks. He
cost his present owner $500.
Perhaps the pride of the herd is Nancy
the daughter of Cherry Blossom. This
pig is now months old and will weigh
225 pounds. She is model. She meas
ures 46 inches in girth and is As inches IN
length Her sire is Loyal Mason, son OF
Loyal Berks Loyal Berks is said to be
the greatest Berkshire boar IN the world
Mr.. Vanderbilt imported him last fall
from England. Marcy thus has right to
be good pig, as she carries the best
American blood combined with the best
English blood.
Close to Nancy is Highelen's maid
Some prefer her to Nancy At 80 days old
she weighed 95 pounds. She carries the
blood of old Longfellow united with that
of Highelen Topper-another great i'm
ported boar owned at Biltmore Highelen

had departed the unfortunate young man
had gotten up and in moving around the
room had overturned the lamp, and be-
ing in helpless condition, was unable to

The death of the negro servant and her
daughter was particularly sad It seems
that the woman and her husband had es-

with them one of their children When a
place of safety had been reached the hus-

child. but to this the woman would not
consent, and handing the child, which
she held in her arms to him, she herself
dashed back through the flames and smoke
in an effort to rescue her child. She had
reached the child and had gotten as far
as the stairway on her return when the
floors caved in: thus the woman and her
child were both caught in the burning
mass and roasted alive.
