ALSO SOME GOOD HOGS IN THOSE DAYS

Some good hogs were raised in this vicinity -many years ago. Not less than 40 years ago a pig 7 months old, owned and raised by T. J. Richardson, weighed 340 pounds. T. J. Richardson then lived on part of what is now the Jud Adams farm in Barkley township.— F. M. PARKER. The" above mentioned pig came April 15, and was weighed November 14, of the same year, and sold to S. R. Nichols. The pig was driven ou foot to Francesville, a distance of 12 miles, and made the trip all right. We had no railroad at Rensselaer at that time. — T. J. RICHARDSON.
