Mr. Otto‘s specialty in farming â€"is dairying and rearing and fattening hogs for export. His hog pen, a new structure, is ons of the best in the township, being substantially built, commodious and well lighted. He thoroughly understands the rearing and feeding of hogs as the large numâ€" ber of fine porkers be aunually turns out is ample proof. In the dairy line 4t is his aim to work to the best adâ€" vantage, for to ogerato this branch he seems to be making special preparaâ€" tions. He has confined the water of a large spring that flows through his premises. This will be used in drivâ€" mu cream separator and churn.
