The last meeting of the CORTLAND

learned about canning and preserving
Meek lenburg-Miss Massey:
A former Mecklenburg county club
girl wrote me last week OF her success
in club work in Dinwiddie county
Il die this year" she wrote fshe is
just eighteenl ~'fof old age. but have
won the trip to the state short cout
so die happy"
Mecklenburg-N. H Williams. Jr:
Mrs W. has recently bought an ex-
cellent berkshire SOW for which she
paid 5000 lhe has ordered a young
boar pig for which she will pay $50
This can be traced directly to the in
fluence Of the pig club in the follow
ing manner. Three years ago a little
hoy in the neighborhood joined the
pig club and borrowed SIS to buy his
pig She turned out so well that his
vicinity is going in for Berkshires
right along and his work has effected
the change. He has up TO the
sold nearly $500 worth Of pigs and has
the SOW yet He has completely won
the neighborhood over to the work OF
the agent, and even his father says
that he had no faith in our work until
his son got his pig,
nandoah-B. A. Warmer;
1t is gratifying to note the interest
that is being taken in better live stock
by our farmers. especially with refer
ence to pure bred hogs More regis
tered hogs have been brought into this
county since the organization of the
Boys Fig club than all combined dur
ing the three years preceding the or
ganization of this club The farmers
Of two Of the pig club boys were in
to see me recently and each gave me
check for $3.50, and requested me
to send them to NJ, O. Cooper and In
struct him TO buy each of them a reg
istered Poland China SOW, Before the
pig club was organized and the farm
ers had chance to see some real
good Poland Chinas, they would have
thought ! was crazy to insist upon
their paying such N prico for hogs,
In the pig club pigs they have had the
fact demonstrated that II pays to buy
good stock and they realize the value
OF good blood.
Goochland--Miss Davis.
