Holmes Go. Hogs
Shipped to Market

Two cars of Holmes county hogs left
Lexington Tuesday bound for Newbern,
Tennessee. They were not fat porkers
but what is known in farm parlance as
"feeders," and are to be placed in feed
lots, given all the feed they will con-
sumo for sixty or ninety days, at which
time they will be ready for the market
Fhe hogs were bought over the county
by B. f. Fisher and Jeff Jones, of Car
rollton.
1t is reported that there is an abun-
dant corn crop here and hereabouts, and
that corn can be delivered locally at rs
cents per bushel or less. With the pre-
vailing prices on fat hogs and feeders
the feeding of porkers should prove an
extremely profitable venture.
