cow ADOPTS LITTER OF PIGS

An unusual instance of foster-mo
theriug was brought to light recently
on a farm owned by c. Anderson. neal
Elkton. Md. where a COW was found
10 be raising litter OF young pigs A
calf had been taken away from the
COW. and Mr.. Anderson expected to
get large quantities of milk But he
was surprised to find that her output
was below the average, and he could
not understand why she had so little
milk.
A close watch kept on her revealed
the fact that she had somehow got
ten three pigs from a SOW whose
mother instinct had waned. and was
allowing the young porkers all the
privileges of her departed calf. The
pigs and their COW mother seemed TO
be getting on well.

THE TALE OF A BIG FEED


There are still some mighty eaters
left. Not long ago Berlin market
porter undertook, for wager, to put
away at one sitting six mutton chops,
twelve eggs, goose, duck, six lbs
Of potatoes and twenty-five pounds OF
hay. Difficulties were anticipated
with the last course, and large sums
were laid against the accomplishment
of the feat. The ingenious porter
solved the difficulty by calling for a
cigarette after he had finished the
duck. He then set light to the hay,
pounded the ashes up with potatoes,
and swallowed the lot. After a heat
ed discussion the referee declared him
