GOOD HOGS SENT TO THE FAIRS.

Jasper county will be well represented in the swine department at the Wisconsin state fair at Milwaukee, next week. Two big oar loads were shipped from here for the fair, Friday night. There were about 40 in each car. One of them contained choice specimen’s from the Poland China hepr of Smith, Harmon & Co., of Rensselaer. The other car about an equal number of Duroo Jerseys. These were mostly the property of John Teter, of Carpenter Tp., and included the celebrated prize winning boar, “Top Knotoher Again.” Pumphrey & Son, of Rensselaer, also sent five good Duroos with Mr. Teter’s drove. Both of these big hog exhibits will also be sent to the Indiana state fair, if present intentions are carried’out.
