A notable instance of this oddly
camc under the writer's notice once up
on time ON q ranch that was largely
devoted to stock-raising. says the San
Fraucisco Chronicle. Cattle, horses
and hogs were kept in large numbers
and allowed to run at will upon the
range. One day in riding over the
mesa an oddly assorted THO was found
In o locality ut . considerable distance
from any other animals. The THO was
made up of cow, . horse and . pig
and all three were feeding side by side
I'm the most amicable manner. At first
II was thought to DO nothing moro than
. coincidence that the three members Of
different families should happen to be
together, but subsequently II turned
out that this THO had evidently ct up
an alliance offensive and defensive
against all the other animals on the
range They were always together.
II was eomical sight to see the oddly
assorted trio travelling over the range.
The horse usually took the load, with
the COW next, and the pig last OF all.
Occasionnlly the horse looked around to
see Il his porkship was keeping up,
and Il he fell behind o halt would be
made 70 allow him to come closer.
When feeding tho pig was just as apt
to put his snout down by the horses or
cows mouth and endeavor to snatch
the grass from between their teeth a.
to Craze ON his own hook. One could
