How pigs run to money these times
Is we'll illustrated by case cited by
8 Madrid, Iowa, man in letter TO a
local newspaper. He gave to his

relates what followed:
"At the age of one year 1t had
twelve white pigs At the age of six
months and ten days my daughter
husband took six of them to market
which weighed $50 pounds each. The
price was s7.S5 per hundred, making
