A detailed retrospective on Confederate era tax in kind in Georgia and the wartime pork output in Sumter, Schley, Webster, Stewart and nearby counties. The piece contrasts wartime abundance with postwar shifts toward buying pork from the North, discusses breed choices like Poland China and Berkshire, and compares Ohio and Georgia methods, noting grass farming, pasture use, and housing stock as key profit factors. It cites a local farmer turning twenty acres into pork profit with $16 investment and $56 return, and ends with notes on sheep pasture and domestic meat.
