a big hog. There Is three kind o. hog,
white hogs, black hogs and two legged
hogs. The contrariest hog is the black
hog, and the meanest of all hogs is the
two legged hogs. If you want to drive
a hog anyvhey, you must drive him tbe
contrary way. Hog Is like. women in
that respect. you can drive them better
by coaxing, In other ways hogs ain'i
like women except, daddy says, they are
never s4,is6ed and always a-grunting.
Women wear earrings in their ears. hogs
wear 'em'iu thsT nose, Dsddys says that

useful. A hogs head holds water, and
his tail makes apice whistle but daddy
says you can't make a silk purse out Of a
pigs ear. A hog has ten legs. two four
legs, that's eight, and two hind legs,
that's ten, Fools call EN- hams. Daddy
