A short trip down in the county last
Thursday developed the fact that
great many farmers were engaged in
/ butchering their hogs. At some farms
five or six fine looking porkers were
hanging on the rack out in the open,
while at other farms the number was
from two to four. So now those farm
ers will have their winter meat, the
housewives will have lard for cooking
purposes and sausages will be on the
table at breakfast fanked by the de-
licious buckwheat cakes that Garrett
couny farm women so delight in bak-
ing-unless the family is composed of
large number of members, when the
work becomes rather arduous, but re-
mains pleasure to the mother to see
her offspring eat with such gusto.
