Several years ago a great political party swept all opposition before it by its magical cry, "The full dinner pail" Now what the South needs is a campaign for "The full smokehouse." With our soil, our climate, and our adaptability to growing cheap feeds, we can make pork cheaper than any other section of the United States. If we do not make it to sell, we should at least come to see that it is a disgrace for any Dixie farmer to be caught buying Western side meat with ten-cent cotton) for himself or his tenants. DonH depend on corn alone: there are many cheaper ways of making meat. And don I depend on razor-backs as Lem Leanman did seepage 8) or you "may conclude, as he did, that "Hog raisin' don't pay." These are two lessons hammered home in this "Hog and Bacon Special" There are others. Our object is to set the Southern farmer to thinking and to raising hogs.

It will be the same way with next week's Progressive Farmer. Watch for it. We regret to announc that Prof. C. M. Con ner, for the past year Professor of Agriculture in the North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical? College, and" formerly with Clemson College, South. Carolina, has accepted a position as Assist ant Commissioner of Agriculture for the Philip pine Islands and will now leave the South. He is a valuable man and we wish him great success in his new work. . A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK. The men in cities who are the centers of energy, the driving wheels of trade, politics, or practical arts, and the women of beauty and genius, are the children or grand-children of farmers, and are spending the energies -which their fathers hard, silent life accumulated in frosty furrows, in pov erty, necessity, and darkness, Emerson, it !
