although he had stolen all the magic

He was just about to start up the

was made of rubber, when he re-

"Chattering monkeys" he Shrek

So back he whisked. There lay
the chocolate cake just where he
had placed it to entice the children
into his cave, on little wooden table
that was covered with a white
napkin.

EIGHT CENT HOGS

THE Moultrie Observer, published
in the shadow of the greatest
packing house in the South, says that
now is good time to study. the hog
market, and we agree absolutely.
There are several things about it that
should be of interest to the average
South Georgia farmer, it says:
"In the first place it is worthy
of note that the price is up to eight
cents. This looks like it is in the
neighborhood of profit to the hog
raiser. The cheap corn and potatoes
and beans fed to hogs through Jan
uary and February are bringing a
pretty good price when sold at eight
cents pound.
1t is just the season when the
farmer is planning his crops for the
year. Looks like the hog crop holds
cut as much promise as anything in
sight. We will not see hogs as cheap
next winter as they were this win
ter when at the lowest. Hogs, like
cotton, will sell any day in the year.
Like cotton, they do not have to be
marketed at particular time. They
are not among the perishable crops.
Zone thing that should interest
the hog raiser is the difference in the
price OF January LIST, and the price
of March LIST. 1t has paid the man
no has held his hogs off the market
until this week. 1t paid the man
who had one hundred pound pigs in
December to feed and market them
in the last days of February. MANY
of the hogs being marketed now arc
corn finished and will sell as hard
hogs. These bring nine cents instead
of eight cents. There is more fooc
for thought. The pig fed on peanuts
in December worth four cents {
pound. An eighty pound pig wa,
worth $500. Fed on corn and 20
tatoes until March list, four thing
have happened:
"a The weight has been increas
ed to two hundred pounds and tn
pig has become two hundre,

and glutted in December is no1
strong with a good demand.
''The pig that was $40 in Decen
Der is now worth $500, and tn
time has passed very rapidly.
