Mr. George E. Ransom shipped from is Mush Island farm one day last week to Richmond a solid carload of hogs—120 in number. The average weight of the porkers was 165 pounds and they were only eight months old. We learn the shipment will net Mr. Ransom about $3,000.
Raising hogs pays much better than raising cotton at 15 cents per pound.
