Mr.. J. NJ. Mills, of the Holly

Saturday informed US that he was
the owner of a two and a half
months old pig that has recently
been following one of his COWS and
robbing her of her milk the same as
a calf. The pig, Mr.. Mills said,
would run along after the cow
squealing and when it would catch
up with her would rear up on his
hind legs and this would bring it in
contact with the cows udder, which
he proceeded to pull at ravenously
with his mouth. Mr.. Mills was
obliged to shut up the pig in order
to keep from being robbed of his
