Pigs Is Pigs— Archie Cameron, well intown farm- er of the Port Elgin area. has a York- shire sow which brought 19 pigsinto the world last year and 16 more little porkers this year for a grand total of 35 piglets in two litters.. For a long time it has been kn:owu that "pigs is pigs" but it seems to us that Al'chie's motherly Yorkshire is overdoing things. Fortunate for Archie is the fact that Adolph Hitler or Beuito Mussolini are far from Bruce County. else they might draft her for their motherhood prizes. She raised four- teen of a litter last year and is under- taking a similar program this year. Weighing in the neighborhood of 800 pounds, "Greta",as she is affection- ately known, is as gorgeous a pig as can be found anywhere in Canada. If anyone knows of a pig who can beat Greta's mark, we would appreciate the koowiedge.
