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. With armies on the
march and reddening skies in Eur-
ope, creatures such: as this age in -I
valuable.—Pbrt .iiplgda Times.. '!
