solve the milking problem.
Herndon, Feb. q.
Dear Sir:-You have been Civ
ing us some snake stories; l will
send you a pig story.
1 have been milking three cows
and all Mt once they failed in their
milk, SO ] changed their feed and
still got but little milk. Then |
thought 1t vas time to investigate
and l watched the cows to see
what became of the milk. So,
when the nun got up and began
to get warm, q pig that was a
50-pounder, came out OF the hog
house, crawled under the fence,
and went to the barn, where he
sat down like n dog and proceed
ed to milk the COWS. / told my
wife we had a milking machine
and she wanted to know what
was the use, with only dry cows
Well, ! shut MIR. Pig up and We

so' There was one way. He was an old

should suffer than to have sorrow come 10
those he loved.
He sat on his high stool long after all had
left the Office; rigid statue of sorrow, pride,
aud brave resolution.
