1t may not be generally know, but it
Is fact that the Kansas hog is fully |
entitled TO stick up his snout and take
considerable pride in his juicy fairness.
By referring 20 Secretary Coburn's re-
port II will be found that "the average
'alue Of the Kansas hog is % per cent
greater than that of the Missouri
,orker; AZ per cent above the Virginia
iog; 81 above his Kentucky relative; 90
ser cent higher than the Texan; 1874 in
advance of the Arkansan and 1870 per
,ent greater than that of the Florida
iog." OF course there is no great
glory for the Kansas porker in out
icoring the razor-bacled wind-splitters
IT Arkansas and Florida, but there is a
whole lot Of satisfaction in knowing

which are supposed to be some pump
Sins when it comes to hogs. There
ire but eight states which have more
hogs than Kansas, and but four in
which their aggregate value is larger.

IIasset we'll are sure that she commit
ted suicide. 1t has been nearly u
month since she was seen by her neigh
bors, An old well near the house will !
be examined for the body. The Has
