that grew 80 rapidly that he determined 70

Zens generally took an interest III the burly

The hog was pat in pen and fed all it

pen became too small, and it was turned
out. and was either driven or waudcred
into the stable Here the purker took
possession of horse stall and grew til

before death, and that its weight was
about l.2l3 pounds-perhaps something
