PIGS AS DRAFT ANIMALS

In many countries and even so near
as Scotland the pig has served the
purpose OF beast Of draft, and has
actually been harnessed to the pillow in
company with cows and horses. In
Scotland also early in the last CEN
tury pigs were sometimes made to
serve as chargers and proved most
docile mounts.
The homing instinct is strongly de-
veloped in the pig. Instances not in
frequently occur of pigs finding their
way back to farms whence they have
been conveyed. There is record of
two pigs homing nine miles, and cross
ing the Thames to boot, to their old
farm. whence they had been driven
to Reading market and bought by
local gentleman on the previous day
