the week that closed Thursday night
$4,000 hogs found their way into pork

kill amounted to 5000 hogs. The last
time that the kill amounted to 5000
was some time in January 1902,though
one day last December the kill very
nearly reached that mark. A very
large week is expected after the good
beginning yesterday.
