Stork Goes Crazy; Pig Has Two Heads
Hogs out on the Raymond Jay farm
near Bagley must have thought they
had a moonshine jag last Friday.
The little pigs looked askance into
the dreamy eyes of their mother. but
found no answer TO the miracle pig
which an unkind stork had left in their
midst.
The stork probably intended to leave
twins but had to go in a hurry and
didn't finish his job.
AT any rate Mr.. Jay is boasting of
a baby grunter with two heads and
three eyes. Otherwise the baby pig is
normal.
The extra orb is in the center of the
heads, arranged something in the fash
ion of a search light.
The pig has only one stomach, but
it has two mouths to suck with, and
that's what makes its brothers and sis
tiers sore.-Courier.
