WIN. G. Grove, of Canal twp,
sold two hogs in Cochranton a few
days ago, the larger one weighing 35S
pounds. He stated, that because of
the low price of wheat, be had fatten.
ed his hogs principally on wheat.
This may look extravagant, but it is
not so. 1t is estimated that bushel
of wheat, properly ground and pre-.
pared, and fed with little other feed
to give variety, will put from 10 to
20 pounds of flesh on a healthy hog.
If it does, he will realize fully dol.
lar bushel on HE wheat by thus
turning it into pork. That beats SELL

An extremely delicate operation
was performed by the local pbysi-
clans of this place and East Hickory,
on Saturday last, 10 the removal of
dbroid tumor from the abdomen of
Mrs. Thomas P. Harry, a colored Ia
dy of West Hickory. The growth
had reached enormous size, weighing
at least 40 pounds, and but for the
operation the lady could have lived
but a few weeks, The undertaking
was successfully accomplished and
the patient has since been doing we'll
under the care of a professional
nurse, and the physicians naturally
feel much elated over their success.
When it was known that this opera.
tion was necessary the good people of
East aud West Hickory set to work
to raise funds wherewith to defray the
expenses necessarily incurred, aud
they are happy TO know that the re-
suits proved so favorably for the re.
covery of a worthy woman.
