the Editor of the "NowCuna Dany News Sm—I have during the last few: days read numerous accounts in your paper of cruelty to pigs, and was very. touched.
Uhad for many years reared pigs in my country farm and have studied their habils and customs very earnestly. During that time of my studies, I have, 1 might say "Lived " pig's fe," and In my authoritative opinion igs have, as Ponxy mentioned in his letter of February 22, a "perverted sense of humour" but with enough patience and care they can be trained. and kept like any house pets.
On my farm I had about ten pigs and spent most of the day teaching them to sit down and shake hands in the same way as dogs are taught. After living on the farm for about ye years 1 was obliged to move to town, taking with me two of tay pigs which I kept in my home.
state the above facts merely to show your readers that pigs, and in fact most any other such animals, can, after a lot of affection and care, be kept as ordinary house. pets.
