another and in aany instances it
possible to send the human voice from
one camp to another, The
congestion exists in the Paddy Moun-
district which possibly is the
best bear country in the county.
Many foreign clubs encamped
there besides numerous local organizs-
tions whieh have for many years hunt-

Eilled Four Niece Hoge,
About the largest porkers that have
some to the attention of this paper so
far this season are those which G, M.
Cooney of near Colyer butchered one
day last week. Four hogs produced
1305 pounds of choice meat, their
individual weights being 347, 325,
and 310 pounder. The butchering ses-
son being just in its prime, there no
doubt are others who can quote big
figures, Mr. Cooney would like to
hear from some one who can beat his
figures.
Ee
SOME MORE HOGS,
Alvin Blump, who devotes his time
to gathering cream and eggs for the
Patrons Co-operative Creamery Com-
pany, comes along as a record smasher
for big hogs for the 1915 season. He
killed three Chesterwhite hogs that
weighed just 1309 pounde, the individ-
ual weighis being 400, 446, and 463
pounds, respectively.

The apple crop sbout Centre Hall

handled simost exclusive'y by the]
ventre Hall Ewvaporating Company. |
And it is fortunate for growers
this institution is in existence,
were it not tor these local shippers |
thousands upon thousands of bushels
of apples iu this valley wouid rot for
want of market st soy price. Before |
the Centre Hall Evaporating Com-|
pany was established all the a ples of
the grade used for evaporating were a
dead loss to the growers, there being
absolutely no market for them, This!
season many thousands of bushels of |
them were purchased and evaporated,
and it is possible that it was done at a |
toss to the company. It is about the |
same with the better grade of apples.
Prior to the organiza ion of this com- |
pany hand-picked apples could be sold
in bulk only when it usppened that
there was 8 general shortage in the
market, but since the evaporating
company began business a market is |
nunted every year, and 80 far ali of the |
crop fit for shippiug has been handled,
Chis is not the condition everywhere.
A Union county farmer lefc the infor-
mation here that sixty cents per hunp-
dred weight was the best price offered
him and that many farmers could not
sell at any price, 80 it is seen that a
local dealer can create a markel where
the individual would fail.
This season this company shipped
twelve or fourteen car loads of apples,
averaging from four to five hundrea
bushels to the oar. These were all
hand-picked apples.
