The Modei. Fakvi for Sale.—The Model
Farm near Higli Point in Guildford county is
for sale. This farm is about four miles from
High Point, and from an agricultural stand
point has really proven a first-cla.ss success.
Its iiitluence ha.s been felt all oyer Guildford
county, and as a result, there are more grade
cattle, grade Jerseys and Durl.ams, and Ches
ter and Beikshirc hog.s in Guildford tliaii in
any otlier county in the State. Mr. Fred
Striidwick, of Hillsboro, bought a grade co'v
in this county some weeks since and de
Clares she is tlie be.st milker he eier liad. 'J'his
farm was established by an association of
Friends in Maryland ; not for profit but rath
er as a school is started, for the benefit of the
people and to teacli them how to farm, We
presume the Friend.s have Iield the farm long
enough to bring about tiie desired result, and
it is now for sale.—Raleigh Neics.

Valuable ip True.—The Fincastle Herald
has b- en informed that a piece ofiron hung on
fruit trees will effectii.diy prevent file nivages
of frost. Tiie informant states that the niglit
beture the freeze in April he Inmg several pieces
of old iron in len of his peach trees, and the
trees were loaded with peaches, the yield be
ing not le.'S than .sevcnry-ti\e busiieis. d'he
fruit of tlie reinaiuliig trees (-ixty-flve in num
ber) in the orchard "'as killed. A piece of
horse shoe was hung in a ch'rry tree and the
yield was ahnndiiit, while in three adjacent
trees the fruit was entirely killed. He s.ays
the idea originated witli Ids mollier and that
lie, by licr instructions when a boy, tried the
.-aine thing frequently, and with the same re
suit. This is important, if true, and it will

of the Stu;e will give to Mr. Miller tlieaid tliat
lie needs and to Mr. Charlotte the respect for
his kindness and attention whieli he so much
deserves, and we can give them botli full en
dorsement.
The citizens of Kinston Iiavc done a noble
part in the care of Mr. Miller, and we feel that
it is not asking too much of others to aid in
lliis more than clianty.

That is the general verdict, we believe.

CosT OP Pork Again.—We asserted last
week that the price of pork paid by onr citizens
was exorbitant, and buying it at 9 and 10 cents
'vas a ruinous liusiness. Since writing that
article we have read an article written by an
experienced farmer, wlio proves beyond all
doubt that meat can be raised at a cost of 3
cents a pound.' He goes on to sliow tiie cost
of raising the corn and how much it takes to
fatten hogs, and reaches the logical conclusion
that it can be raised at 3 cents a pound. If
his reasoning be true, and we see no defect
in it, tlieii these gentlemen who sell us pork
makealmut G.cents on a pound, $6 on the
liundred, and..$(10 on the thousand. Now tell
us 'vliat other business pays so well in this
country. Itbcafs raising cotton, selling goods,
or buiUUng houses,—Aurora- ’
