Nine men get up at break OF

to trim the whiskers from the

pressed. They pull up thistles by
the roots, and swat all noXious
weeds and softly say wen bet

Is smothered by the weeds, which

law to make him eat his weeds,

A True Story of A Pig that
Came to Town.

I Mr.. John Leonard of Butler
Mo-, was the owner of a measly
runty, NANCY, lousy, white pig
This pig weighed about 25 pounds
when he was about three months
old, and he did not look like he
would ever weigh any more. Mr.
Leonard took the best care of him
fed him on milk. shorts, ground
corn. But Mr.. Pig would not
grow.
But one day about a week ago,
Mr.. Leonard Thought of plan to
cnre his pig of the lice and mango
and to get his hair to lay down
smooth, which had been sticking
up like a porcupine quilts. So
one dark night he loaded him in
his. wagon and took him to Butler,
Mo-. and sure enough, just as he
expected. the Hog-.Joy Oiler was
out in front of the Logan-Moore
Lumber Yard, so without saying
word about it, he made a pen
out of four of the No-Sag gates
that Mr.. .Coberly had neglected to
put in the yard that night, put
the pig inside of the pen with the
Hog-Joy Oiler. Next morning
when Mr.. Coberly arrived he
found a most contented, happy,
oily pig asking for his breakfast.
Mr.. Leonard was in town last
Saturday and of course wanted
to know how the pig was getting
along, and went to the Logan
Moore Lumber Yard to see him.
He said "When l brought that
pig to town he was alive with lice
but can't find one on him now,
and the sore places behind his
ears are healing up. His hair is
getting slick and lays down
smooth. He has gained five,
pounds. The Hog-Joy Oil and
Grow Fast did it." Mr.. Coberly
says he will make the little old
runty white pig weigh 200 pounds
in four months. He is going to
report to the editor each week
Just how much Mr.. Pig has
gained. We are betting Mr.. Cob
.rly the smokes that Mr.. Pig will
weigh light at the end Of the four
months, but he is game. The Log
.n-Moore Lbr. Co. have sold over
