Daly's Hog Killing,

Yesterday was the annual hog kill ing day at the poor farm. Sheriff Cleary and several county officials went out to witness the slaughter, and to capture a spare rib or two. Seventeen hogs were killed, whose aggregate weight was 6,375 pounds, or an average of 375 pounds each. This is most ex cellent pork to be made on the poor farm, and if the inmates are half as fat, Superintendent Daly should come to town and run a hotel or boarding house. Mr. Daly says he has ten more porkers as heavy as these, which he will kill next month. As all the pork raised on the poor farm is consumed by the inmates, it is safe to say they will not suffer this winter.
