Please allow me space id your valuable columns for a f? \v hints from the city of West ville. The eiops are looking fine. Of course 1 mean the crops in general an<l the grass cropd especially. We have some very progressing young fariueis starting out. They are energetic, enthusiastic young fellow*. One of them certainly means business. He says he in tends keeping bachelors hall dur ing 1901. 1 will tell j*ou what his crop consists of and leave it with you and your many readers to de cide whether he does or not. His crop is 14 acres cotton, 10 acres corn,or 5 acres of oats and a big potato patch. He is also engaged in another very profltable/busineen. He has some kittens, 8 puppys, two old dog?, a fine lot of pigs and is trying to buy a cow. The pigs will soon be hogs. He first built n 40 foot square poll pen and fed them on white flint rocks (or at least that was all that I saw tu the pen) to rat and 1 took it for grant ed that he fed tticm on the rocks to harden their fat. He kept them this war until plums got ripe when he built a pen around the plum trees and put them in it, aud he goes three times a day wiift pure water and shakes the tr</cs. As ?oou as the plums are exhausted he has some very fine porsiurtmon ttees near by and he contemplates split ting a stick and putting their tails in it and raising thptn on a level with the persimmons. So you sec there is more way* to raisn pork than one. Now </ne other point on him aud I am through with him. He has purcliAtferi a tract of land ahd ftrh'tsttTf him a house site. Now Mr. Editor, you are a good Judge of human nature and I will leave ilie above with you Q9 to whether there is any bachelors hall in U or ttui. ... ... There la another very extensive young fitter op here. Ho has al so picked iiitn out a bouse site and hat piled life rooks where he can handy come at " them in ease of emergency.
