band trying to help-for is not a
farmers wife true help-meet?
The day we sent our first hogs to
market dawned foggy and bleak, and
from the beginning things went
wrong. In the first place. the alarm
did not ring. due no doubt to the
fact that although had wound itand
turned the dial so it would ring half
an hour earlier-I had forgotten to

back)
Les had to build the fire, for in
spite of Girl Scout training, I have
never yet learned to build a success
full fire in wood stove. Then, he
slapped his cap on his head and
rushed out to begin his chores.
A few minutes later, I banked the
fire, slipped into my own jacket, and
went to sshelp." Les was fixing an
extra ration for our five fat hogs, so
climbed up the short stepladder
to the granary and scooped up the
chopped grain while Les carried the
heavy buckets of Soured slxim-miIk.
We were very proud of these beau
tiful big Duroc-Jersey pigs. Short
red hair glistened as though it had
been brushed. Saucy rope-like tails
cur1ed over their broad backs as they
grunted and pushed each other about,
noisily gulping their food At little
less than six months of age, they
weighed 245 pounds each. Any one
of them might have won blue rib

what he needed was big strong

hghtest job, but I was terrified of
the squealing snorting beasts.
We had fattened our pigs in Dor
table pen. The panels were made of
lO-inch boards IL feet long, nailed
to small poles. These panels could
move about so that the pigs would
have clean dry pasture as often as
necessary and not have too much
room in which to exercise off fat
gained by heavy feeding. Les un-
fastened the chain that held the pam
els to the corner post and with one
hand swung it into place against
the loading shoot

Well, I grabbed, but I didn't swing.

battle. had learned pig chasing the
hard way too, and knew we would
not be able to catch this one in time
to get him loaded If he got away
now. So, I dropped the panel, grabbed
the pigs tail and hung on. The pig
was big, but he was not as stubborn
as I, and his progress was severely
hampered as l came humping dog
gedly along behind him, blowing up
double burrows of sod with my heels
and clinging desperately to his tail

Now, while l was single-handed1y

Jimmy grasped the pig by an ear
and hind foot, trunde1ed him along
wheelbarrow fashion to the pen, and
soon had him loaded. In short time
all the hogs were in the truck and
Les looking at his watch announced
that it was now just nine o'clock.
Was it possible? Only 10 minutes
had passed since Jimmy had first
driven into the yard.
Last Look
We climbed upon the truck for
a last look and to compare our pigs
with those belonging to Jimmy. They
were still laughing, and Les chided
me because one pig had no curl in
his tail In a few minutes, Les,
Jimmy and the pigs were on their
way to market
