How Hogs Helped.

A few years ago | found myself
$500 in debt, and it seemed that,
to be free from it, | would have to
resort to the old method Of robbing
Peter to pay Paul. Fortunately,
however, hogs came to the rescue,
and / have been an ardent hog
fan" since. came into posses
sion of two pure-bred Berkshire
sows that had been bred to a regis
tered male. | also had 2 sows that
owing to my own lack Of foresight,
or | should say common sense,
had been loafng on the job. The
pure-breds caused me to see the
error of my ways, and by looking
ahead little / saw what might be
accomplished toward paying off the
debt with hogs, 50 the other two
sows were bred.
This was in December, and the
next spring my Berkshire brought
nine and eleven pigs, respectively,
the other two ten each Is Of the
pure-bred pigs were sold for Sis
each when 6 weeks old, the other
two being kept for my own breed
ing stock. These sales amounted to
$40. The other lot, being just
common stock, brought $500
at Sc. so each, when 6 weeks old
Thus in the course Of few months
l Lad $400 toward paying that $500
debt. W H I, Dallas, Texas. IN

A good many Of our exchanges
persist in keeping the subject OF
negro emigration alive. Continu-
ally publishing articles relative to
their hardships intended as a warn
ing.
We believe this is the wrong poll
cy. A negro like all the rest of
humanity is loath to take advise,
and is only made more determined
by argument. II this subject were
tabooed and arguments made rela-
tive TO supplying the labor deficit
with Belgian labor, which would
gladly come if supplied with trans
portation, conditions would take
on a different aspect. These people
make ideal farm laborers, and are
starving. We know Of several
farmers who would gladly supply
transportation to this class of farm
laborers.

IRISH POTATOES

We advise our readers to order
their Irish potato seed early; il
fact. the sooner the better Irish
potatoes are very scarce and high,
retailing for $3.50 per bushel IN
Northern markets at the present
time. What the market price will
lie when the Southern crop begins
to move it is impossible to tell, but
it will be high. In Florida our
friends plant in January; in South
Georgia. in February; here near
Atlanta, in March If you can pro-
cure seed this is Che safest crop you
can plant,
Now, don't 60 into the Irish pc.
tato business unless all the condi-
tions are right. The expense q
putting in the crop is too great, and
you must produce q big yield to
make them pay. You must have
rich land, we'll filed with vegetable
matter; you must fertilize heavily,
using at least ton per acre of high
grade fertilizer. Do not attempt
this crop unless you can meet these
conditions.-Ex
