Ann Brown's speech on ."Pigs" They can be persuaded, but try to push .them around and they kick up quite -a storm in defence of their rights. They like the soft, easy life, but will rustle up their own living, and don't mind getting dirty in the process. .They're noisy at the table and their manners aren't perfect. There are no phonies among them. Take them or leave them, they're still pigs. Nobody seemsto love a pig. For years he has been smeared and libeled. Oh, we have been told that he is the smartest an- imal in the barnyard, but who has pointed out the pig is also the cleanest, and the mostgen• erous to man; a walking pantry.. 1 he stores a third of what he eats (against a stingy eighth for cattle and sheep) ins delicious 7 3ohopstandLbarn, ,Eveaothe;eais, tail, slips, btaFIr and4snout ate edible. The tragedy, to quote an old proverb --"Pigs like poets are never appreciated until dead. " Pigs did not come over in the "Mayflower". They were already here. They crossed the Atlantic with.Columbus, and again with De Soti, Cortez and a number of others.- Pigs help- ed keep a starving Jamestown alive. As missionaries, trapper s and settlers moved westward, the pig journeyed alongside. Rangy and lean like the pion- eers themselves, the pig could live off the land, run like a race horse, leap a four. -foot, barrier, fight off a wolf, and survive cold and 'lizzatds, yet they never forgot to swell the clan by six, eight or ten each spring. His offspring whether . salted, pickled ,or smoked, car- ried on where the pig couldn't travel. Salt pork, was in every explorer's pack. It would out keep beef by months. '1 As late as the 1800's pigs .' roamed New York City streets as scavengers and at round -up time there were lively chase$ down Broadway --then the social centre of town. Most farmers had a few "mortgage lifter pigs" that fats tened on waste corn and brought quick money. But not n o•w. Meatpackers demand uniform, fast grown disease free hogs in sizable shipments, which only.; big growers can supply. The slop -fed farm pig is gone, and, what a pixy, for today's chill t,. dren may never learn to know ° this complex personality and ° serene charm. A pig likes all foods that hu7 mans do; not to mention,a few; others. Pigs are gregarious arid,. funloving too, as every farm ', child knows who has.. watched—4. them play a form of tag that is astonishingly like the burp, r• game. They like to" swim watercress; or just for kicks when the stream gets low they . can go wild with the exte- ment of catching a fish. A pig prefeis clean water, but gladly settles for a mudhole, yet he is no sucker. You can't fool him with an empty pail as you can a horse. "A pig, " said Abraham Lincoln admiringly, "won't believe a thing he can't see. " To the casual observer, pigs don't seem affectionate.. It is hard to bestow a caress on a snout or jointed feet; but they. have a way of winning the heart. -as farm children well know. As a result of better feeding and disease control, the pig's efficiency has vastly improved. Until recently he needed four pounds of food to gr o w one pound of pork. Today he re quires only about three,and one English pig recently produced a pound of pork for slightly less than two pounds of food. Equally impressive is the way G�rre News Items Mr.. and MIs.
