good hogs, and were then shipped direct
TO Natchez, where they demand fancy

They Inform us that they expect to
make another shipment in the near fu-

Hog raising Is one OF the many appro-
pirate ways to contend with the one
crop idea, and the struggle against the
boil weeyil and other similar depre-
dations can be successfully fought by
such pursuit.
