Selling hogs for less than nickel on
foot is all foolishness, according to Dan
iel Tucker, Galloway farmer, who has
been doing little "6ggerin on the
side. He says he can take 200-pound
hog, dress it, cut it up properly and real
ize fl6 instead of IS if sold on foot. lie
does this at present prices in Fulton.
Lots of work to kill hogs, but man
might as well work at that as anything
else, its the only thing to cope with
the low hog morket when corn is high"

job. After their arraignment in the Har-
