It would simply : Maean a revolution. There are few bounties in the whole '.South that - Jiave a railroad station or a steam boat landing that .'do not buy ' large quantities of two or more of these staple products. There is no way. of. estimating accurately the money spent , each year for these farm products, but it is sim- jly enormous: All this would be Tetained'in the: South to circulate slid increase all lines of business ; but this is only one of the many benefits which would-accrue. ,Not " -ontil we breed our own mules ban we hope to have enough of them to do our farm work well and -economically. There are .no great er weaknesses in our present- sys tem of doing farm work' than those resulting from a lack of mule -.power the -use of small, ineffec tive implements and of man labor which should have its place taken by machines and mules.

Farm Journal, for March. Hor Raising in Vatauga : - Mr. Editor : I ; wish to : : give your readers my short experience in hograising since March, 199 i In that month I bought a pair of Duroc pigs, and in-August the sow farrowed 7;pigs, which I sold for $36. : Then on : April f 2 c she mothered a litter of 10 , which I sold for. $50.50, and on September 14 she brought forth 12 pigs--lost three of which I sold 5 for, $25 leaving four stilK on hand. So rating them at the same price : at which -the ; others sold, the v sow paid me $131:50, and during the same time the male paid me 05; 50 making a total of $1.79. Then af t er , feeding th e two parent ;ho gs sixty days, feeding them 29 11-2 bushels of corn, I butchered and weighed them and the pair netted 785 pounds.; 5 The lard, after be ing rendered out ; weighed" 82 pounds: V , ):'-:''':: My experience with the two hogs was as follows- 1 put them in the pen on November 17, one weigh ing 294 pounds and- the other . 204 pounds.
