The Fairmont West IUYR'0a says;
One day this week Mr.. Patrick Kinney
living near Barnesville, this county,
killed four hogs whose net weight was
l,645 pounds, making an average weight
for each hog of 4ll{ pounds. Thlsls hard
to beat, and Mr.. Kinney challenges any
other man in Marion or Monongalla
county to produce four better hogs Now
let the Post bring forth its biz hogs; but
mind, boys, no lying; stick to the truth
THE same paper also says: We are
reliably informed that one day last week
Mr.. John Bunner, who resides on the
east side of the river a short distance
below Palatlnc, kutchered calf sixteen
months and half old that weighed SIX
hundred and eighteen pounds net. lhIS
i. the largest animal Of the kind, aye
considered, that we ever heard ot-much
larrer than most three-year-olds raised
IN this country. Its size is truly remark
able, but can be accounted for IN great
measure from the fact that the calf was
never wcaned and was allowed to remain
in the fields with its mother up to the
dov il was killed. Mr. Ronner takes the
load in the stock raising business.
