    O.F. Gerard, of North Webster, writes The Times about a big prize hog, stating: "We are reading about down in the state of Virginia that they are boasting about a hog being the prize winner, weighing 501 pounds, and claim this to be the largest porker in the state. Sure this is good for one of the southern states, but up north and around North Webster, in Kosciusko County we class this size porkers as pigs.

"Last week L.H. Kline butchered his winter's meat and the smallest one weighing 625 pounds, net weight - this with the squeal taken out, and the hog not very fat."
