Hogs and Sarcasm.

Editor Star:-I notice iu the last issue of The Star some one writing in regard 10 hog law. Now I think he is just right, more especially on our uplands for we can raise corn to feed lots of hogs, (of course our iarmersdon't need any hogs as the law in the case does not even give them a vote on the question). Now in Polk county outside of the bot- toms, 12H bushels ofcoru per acre is m average. About how many hogs would that keepl Almost all people say there IS no money in cotton, but any man on our uplands can raise cotton and buy his meat cheaper than he can keep his hogs up and feed them on corn. Tie says anyone chas- ing rszorbacks has his sympathy :, He is right asain. They also have my sympathy. And as we have no timber in this county, fences are very scarce But here, friendship goes wrong. think this man has place where he can raise corn and has not thought of his poor nsighbor on the uplauds. and my advice is: Do not spend so much ot your time kicking, but make a fence. for we have the best place on earth to live.
