which is req Tired to kill and dress twenty
hogs and giving the weight, at one of our
farmers recently. The large hog killing at
Sewell, last week. in which AZ hogs were
slaughtered in 2 hours and 10 minutes,
is putting pork on the jump. But failure
TO give she combined weight is noted. II

be thrown out Of the scalder some one had
occasion to look inside and there, to their
amazement, WAS q hog which had been
overlooked. Thinking probably it was she
last one that had been killed, so much was
not shought OF it, until it was surely de-
clared that it was the very first one that
had been slaughtered. e0
