stamp act was repealed on March Is,
1866. and was followed by proclamation
from Governor Fauquier that was re-
ceived with great joy.
John Robinson was appointed Treasurer
of the Colony of Virginia in 1873 and
continued holding this Office and that of
Speaker of the House of Bmgesses for
twenty-eight years. During this time
eight committees We're appointed from the
House to inquire into the Treasurers
accounts. In 1T65 when Virginia was in
the throes of a financial panic on account
of resulting indebtedness of the French
and Indian Wars the Treasurer had in
his possession n large number of treas
ury notes that had been redeemed and
We're awaiting an order of the Assembly
to be destroyed Great Britain having
forbidden the further issue of treasury
notes, the Treasurer, seAng his chance
to prevent further financial distress,
caused these notes to be re-emtted tax
ing what he considered properly en-
dorsed notes from private individuals as
security
These notes We're to be redeemed before
the date decided upon for burning them
and were filed with the Treasures ac-
counts. but his death on May II, 1885,
caused the discovery of the notes and
brought the irregularity of his conduct
to the notice Of the Colony.

A Dear Half Hog.

In a recent issue of Farm and
Ranch l noticed this question: 'Was
there ever a hog sold for $4,000" I
inclose the following clipping show
ing that half hog sold for $4,000.
&C. w. Digman, Poland China
hog breeder, OF Kansas, sold half
interest in the Poland China male,
Victor, for $4,000. This hog was
bought by Mr.. Digham last winter in
the east and is pronounced by many
to be the best Poland China hog alive
today and the price of $4,000 for a
half interest makes Victor the high
est priced hog ever sold. Farm and
Ranch.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-10-16
Razorback Hams.

We have never advocated the rails
ing Of razor-back hogs, but we have
acknowledged that the best favored
pork that we ever tasted was made
from razor-back hogs. Neither do we
advise anyone to go into the Dusl-
ness and allow their hogs to run at
large to annoy their neighbors. We
hope that the day is not far distant
when hogs will no longer be allowed
to trespass on anyone's property who
does not build a Chinese wall around
his place. But there is plenty OF tur-
pentined timber land in the state
which can be bought at a low rate
and on which hogs could be grown
that would make as good hams as
those described in the American
Farmer. The editor first tells of
some personal experience and refers
to a longer article, both Of which we
quote below:
The writer of this item has just
risen from table in a fashionable
restaurant where he tried to eat
slice of packing house ham. 1t was
a villainous combination Of saltpetre,
creosote, oversalting and hasty cur
ing, entirely unfit for food. Surely
a fortune awaits the man who will
cure a lot of bacon in the right way
every year and send it to the cities
to be bought by those who love ham
but can't stand the vile commodity
now served on the tables OF every
hotel and restaurant, as we'll as most
of the private houses. There would
be room in such an enterprise tor
thousands of people, as the demand
for the right kind of hams and bacon
could not be supplied. Read the art1-
Gle on another page entitled "Razor-
back Hams" and write in to tell us
what you think about it. If the farm
ers quit curing as of old, the popula-
ton will be left to the mercles OF the
"creosote smoke" hends, and all of
us will be compelled to turn Jews
and go back on the hog altogether.
Surely a man ought to be able to
get what he wants if he is willing
to pay for it, but you never see a
country-cured ham any more in the
city markets.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-10-16
Questions Answered.

The following is an editorial from
the St. Augustine Meteor. With most
Of his answers we can agree. 1t is
certainly worthy Of consideration:
In a letter asking for sample
copy of The Meteor, a would-be set
tier asks these questions: "What does
Florida stand most in need Of and
what would be the best procedure for
a newcomers!
We answered a similar question to
this in The Datil Pepper, some ten
years ago, and the answer given then
seems as aprOpOs to us today as 1t
did at that time, and we commend it
to the questioner as follows:
II a commission, composed OF sin
cere, practical men, were appointed
to investigate the greatest needs OF
FLORIDA and to outline policy tor
newcomers to pursue, they would
report about as follows: First, the
up-building OF system OF good roads.
Ibis to be done as nearly as possible
with the material at hand. Commence
ing at the county seat and branch
ms out in several directions and ex-
tending to the lines Of djoinlng coun-
ties, a continuous system Of roads
could be built from one end Of the
state to the other. On the light,
sandy lands, after all surface roots
have been removed, pine straw from
the adjacent forests could be placed
in abundance. Then on the fiat
woods-low lands-the surface soil
from each side Of the road could be
thrown up, and something akin to
turnplkes would thus be made. These
would prove blessing to man and
beast alike, reducing the cost Of trans
pOrtat1On and time Of transit, in con-
sequence OF the capacity OF teams to
pull greater loads and more quickly
THAN upon the ordinary roads. These
main arteries would give life to trade,
open up new industries, stimulate pro-
uucers to raise more Of everything,
and thus add to the wealth and pros,
perlty Of the state.
Stock, comprising cattle and a few
hogs, and quota OF sheep and goats
prOpOruOnate to the advantages Of the
LOCALITY, should be regarded as most
valuable adjunct of the farm.
The next wholesome advice would
relate to crops, and the tiller of the
SOIL would be given to understand that
the first consideration should be
given to those crops needed to meet
the demand Of man and beast Upon
the place, and that these could be best
had by the planting Of cassava, po-
tatoes, velvet beans, peas, chufas,
cane, and whatever Of corn-Kaffir
and lndian-sorghum and the various
garden stuff that fancy might suggest
and compatible with means to feel
out for as promising profit. In this
way a living would be assured and
the knowledge acquired regarding the
most profitable Of the desirable crops.
OF course, fruits Of all kinds indigo
nous to the locality should receive
favor upon the farm, and be diversi-
he'd and enlarged upon commensurate
with the size of the pocketbooA and
the safety Of the investment as having
been demonstrated by fruit-groWers
III the vicinity.
To recapitulate, good roads through
out the state, and the pursuing Of
diversified, intensive system of farm
ing, would, we believe, soon bring
into demand every ti1lable acre of
land, and, i'll consequence, add wealth
and prosperity to the state at large

The principal trouble with orange
culture in South Florida is the neglect
OF the owner to keep his trees in the
most thrifty condition. There is no
thing handled by the Florida farmer
which responds more profitably to
liberal treatment than the orange tree.
1t is true that man can limp along
and make some money on his grove
with ordinary care; but if he will keep
it up to the highest notch of fertil1za-
ton and cultivation, he will make two

If you want the best hams, not sim
ply good, but the ''best ever" you
must make them out Of razorback
hogs. The process Of curing, Of
course, is important, but the first step
is the material. Don't imagine you
can make ''just as good" out Of these
big Poland China, Duroc-J Jersey or
overplus of fat, besides the way in
which it is put on, and the civilized
style of feeding Injuries the flavor.
The ideal ham and bacon producer
is the fashioned razorback, now
only found in certain sections of the
South, and often called the shoestring
breed: Twenty years ago Maryland
girl went with her invalid mother to
south Georgia, and while there was
invited by an old planter to dinner.
Among other things brought on the
table was a ham, different in looks
from any they had seen. Instead of
being dumpy and almost round, it
was long and fiat When the Mary
land women got a taste of that meat
they thought they never had eaten
ham before. 1t was a revelation. The
old planter took them to the smoke
house, showed them how the curing
was done, and also exhibited sample
of his pigs or KILLERS" as he called
them. These hogs run wild in the
loW-lylng countries of the coastal
plains and in the rough and broken
mountain regions. They made their
own living by roofing with their long
shouts, and their food is the most
natural and wholesome Not only is
a fine flavor developed, but their mode
OF life causes the putting On of mixed
tat and lean so essential to the max
ing of the finest bacon.
When the Maryland girl returned
home, the thought occurred that she
might support herself and mother by
making and selling the kind of hams
they had eaten in Georgia. The plant
er sent her six pigs and later she
procured a few more, from which,
eventually, large herd was develop

Another world beaten is the new

costing $25 900, and being the largest

increased space is thus secured for
