The city marshal has been busy this

about town from noxious weeds and it
is now up to the property owners to do
likewise. Unless they comply within a
reasonable time the work will be done

The Poland China hog is said to be
the least prolific of any of the lard
type breeds but D. A. Mckinley resid-
ing east of town ON the Creencreek
road, has a SOW of this breed that will
make even the Duroc-Jerseys go some
to defeat her. During the past five
months she has given birth to % pigs,
the first litter of IL having been far
rowed on March 25th and a second lit
ter of II on August 25th. This is a re-
cord pretty hard to beat by any of the
4 pork family.
H. F.. Lutte brought to this office
Monday some pea vines from his garden
up on the mountain that beat anything
we have seen in that line for many
moons The peas are of the small gar
den variety known as sugar peas and
seldom grow more than a foot or so in
height but the samples brought us reach
from 61a to feet in length and are
enough to make the Telephone
variety ashamed of themselves.
