method Of curing is as follows:
1.-THE grass is cut in the afternoon.

Let it lie the next day until noon. It
is then put into curing cocks. which
are made to lie fiat. These cocks are
upset the next morning. and in the

From q Six-Acrc Farm.

G. w. Baker. who owns four acres
OF land in the suburbs of Gaffney,
last year rented two acres from a
neighbor and went to work and from
these six acres, after supplying his
rather large family beautifully from
his farm, he sold from one and two
third acres $40 bushels OF sweet po-
tatoes for $272. From two acres Of
land in cotton he sold SOS worth. and
from his snap bean patch he sold $35
worth Of beans, making a total of
$415 in cash received for the surplus
products made on this small farm.
Besides this above Mr.. Baker made
fifty bushels OF corn and killed 500
pounds of, pork, which he grew at
home and fattened with the products
Of his farm. During last year Mr..
Baker worked much away from
home. Among other things he
earned enough by work to pay for a
one-horse wagon and mule, with
which he made his crop. We had Of
ten heard about Mr.. Bakers crop,
and a few days ago we asked him
about it. The above facts were OBJ
tanned from him, and no who
knows him will doubt any statement
he makes about his work or anything
else.-Cherokee Is. CO. News.
