The people of this community are kill
ing and have killed some very fine pork
ers. but as Mr.. Editor gave US our orders
in regards to publishing the weight OF
porkers, that none were worth publica-
ton under the five cwt., therefore, l
cannot give you any weights for seldom
any swine live to attain the age to carry
five-hundred pounds of flesh in this vicin-
ity, but if you would allow the extreme
of the opposite to be published, may
furnish you with information of four hogs
weighing 800 pounds and two hogs weigh
ing 1876 pounds, and that is just as inter-
esting as the higher weight and puzzle
too-how many ears of corn per day could
have been fed.
