SOW A PASTURE FOR THE HOGS THIS WIHTER Every farmer who is baying meet at present should reeliae the, importance of growing this farm prod aet at home; for borne one and a enrplaa for the market. The hog will appreciate and perhapa give aa great returns for good treatment aa any other farm animal. Do not expect him when turned oat on the raDge to root or die to be thrifty and fill the pork barrel at killing time. Bat oa the other hand provide good pen tane and get good boga and the renalta will apeak for tbamaalvaa. Meat la going te> remain high for aome time Mr. Hoover baa re fused to take charge of the meat situation ao prod act ion will large ly oontrol the price. There in no danger of there being more meat produced than the market will de mend within the next few yearn. Only a few days ago good hoge ware selling at HOc par pound on foot. Think of it, a hog weighing «uu lbc on loot being worth $40 on the eity market. Now doee it not eoand reason able that the farmers should pay more attention to hog raising and at least raise eoongh for home use. Sow something for the bog to eat this fail, winter and next spring. Set aside e few aores of the farm for a permanent pasture Send this with the kiad of eloreru sad grasses that la bast adapted to yoar lend.

A Charlotte mas who beard him a ooople of weeks ago at Lumberton was so uapcsassd with the forceful eloquence of tbs judge that be called at The Ob server office to make so especially complimentary report about it and the impression tbe apeeab mads on tbe people, judge Bond repeated the performance at Luu barton’s patriotic meeting. Mow day, than came on to Charlotte to aaa hie son who in one of the boya in khaki at Camp Greene.
