Triton, Ca. Jan. 2.-Mr Dan Walker,
living near Triton, killed his two fam
Gus porkers Friday of last week, and
the two weighed, after dressing, 1000
pounds, one Weighing $50 and the other
$50 He was compelled to cut them
up to weigh them, or the total would
doubtless have been several pounds
more. One of the hogs has been I'M
able to stand up for two months, and
recently Mr.. Walker was obliged to re-
duCe his flesh, so that he lost at least
200 pounds, and although he was much
the largest hog all his life, he weighed
100 less than his mate. From the two
Mr. Walker took 24O pounds of fat,
making total of $40 pounds for the
two hogs. Although of good stock, Mr..
Walker gave the hogs no special atten-
ton, letting them run in the woods
until they were nearly year old. Mr..
Walker says he has not lost a hog
from cholera in ten years, and that he
can readily and certainly cure the
most obstinate case of that disease.
