We are told that the merchants
of Covington are having an unusual
demand for garden seed. This would
indicate that more than usual atten-
ton is to be given to gardens. Those
who have taken the trouble and time
to keep an accurate account insist
that garden is one of the most prof
liable things to have. In fact, it is
the most profitable land that is cul-
tivated.
The Covington Milling Co. made
a shipment of hogs to St. Louis Fri
day. This makes the sixth car they
have shipped in two months. These
cars average $1,000 each, or total
of $4,000, to the hog raisers here
abouts. This doesn't represent the
total shipments Of hogs, as other
parties have made number of ship
ments of mixed cattle and hogs dur
ing that time.
