In the course of our career we have had several dogs also horses a cow or two unnumbered cats canaries and White rats one oat and just once As a special dispensation of Providence a pig named major. A mystery major s origin was veiled in mys Tery. We found one. Chilly morning in late summer galloping about under our Orchard Hrees. He Vas the tiniest and Hungriest pig fee had Ever seen but an intrepid Ellow biting us viciously when be cornered him and snared him n a Felt hat. We carried our hat us of squealing wild boar into he Kitchen and. There we Trust his Grubby Little nose into the cat s dish of bread and milk. " rom the moment that he Felt the farm milk trickling Down into Lis sadly deflated Little stomach he was our own Loving and Loyal big until at least until ack of accommodation did us Art. When he had eaten All he Ould hold he fell asleep almost at me. I wrapped him in a sweater and carried. My sleeping Piglet o one. Or two of the neighbors whom we knew to have families of Small pigs. Later i telephoned to others farther away but found in every Case that their family circles were still unbroken. It seemed that destiny had marked major for our pig. It was the the county Tair and we finally concluded that must have been Tak no a sow and litter of Young piglets to be exhibited and that major rugged individualist that he proved to be had squeezed his of the that or he was a biological Miracle which had been dropped from the skies simply because i had Al Vays wanted a pig. So devoted he proved to be one of the most beloved members of our entire menagerie and so devoted to us As to be a terrific nuisance. He had a varied vocabulary and talked to himself when no other audience was at hand and when we talked to him he would look in our faces with his shrewd Blue like those of a human being. my husband o husband s. Dis had a special Little chortle of affection a Fitch he Al Vays struck up whenever his Best beloved Hove in sight. I washed him often in. Warm soapy water. Throughout this rite used to stand with his fore get on the Edge of the Washtub and sing a High operatic number partly of protest at the indignity of the thing and partly of. Ecstasy at receiving so much attention. He always emerged Pink and glow no like a fat old rom the Barber s hands and with his minor assistance he managed to keep himself a fresh and Savory pig. He loved to stand in front of the fireplace warming himself and gazing into the fire until he Ell asleep and toppled Over onto Liis nose. At nights he had to sleep in the shed provided with a big sack of shavings which he was sup posed to use for a mattress. How Ever he had a better scheme than that. He would crawl into the sack for greater warmth arid the two current cats would lie on the top of his sleeping bag for Mutual Aid and Comfort. This worked out beautifully until morning dawned and major decided to emerge Usu ally out the wrong end of the sack. Nearly every morning i was roused by a commotion in the shed and hurried out to find the loudly protesting sack of shavings cavorting about the shed with the two wild eyed cats clinging precariously to i r late. Resting major s accomplishments major was the Light of the Home for Only three weeks but in that Brief period and at so in Ripe an age very pad tricks. Shuffle his get in a Clumsy dance when we shuffled ours and Sang him is Lively Jig. The other one. Was when asked and. What is. Your Nam e Little to reasonable facsimile of same. However we had to get rid of major. A pig is seriously Handicap Ped. As a pet no be Guiling his ways. For. One thing he rows up much too rapidly and the paths of glory Lead but to the Gravy. And for another there Iha certain stigma attached to the and pos Sibly also a. Sli tit haunting Aroma As Well As a tendency to slurp his fellow Clergyman came to Call we had Arun and Caf Cli major and banish Lim although it must for him to see the necessity for this hurried exit however major always found something to for. The was kept in the hed and he used to tip it and Wal ova Pillow cases Ossing them High Over his. Head and uttering loud cries of Delight which used to penetrate weirdly nto the conversation in the living room. Wedding guest during the one wedding we. Had while we owned major he rooted open the shed door and came shuffling out across the Lawn rubbed up an Aster in pass no then with his Nice Pink face n a highly soiled condition he came around. To the front door talking to himself in his Chat Tiest manner. When he saw strangers resent he stopped a moment Lis ening then came up and gazed fixedly through the screen door at he wedding party As far As i know the first pig to witness a wedding ceremony this Side of con . Major had grown out of All sounds in the Short three weeks we lad him. A Well fed pig gains a 5ound a Day in then win or was coming on and we had no quarters for him other than our Small shed. So we. Had no Choice but to part with our dear Gazelle. A neighbor who kept pigs was very glad to be Given an additional one and major to his intense Dis gust was quartered in the Sty with the pigs of All places our shampooed and shining major the last time i went to see him the was to be shipped to the pack no House the following Day and be weighed two Hundred arid fifty pounds but he came running As he always did when he heard my voice and sit on my Lap. I sometimes wonder Why by like ours keeps pets at All when they cause us so Many heart dreams their life Span is so exceedingly Short. Few stories of pets can have the Happy ending. How Ever they Are the greatest plea sure to us. While they last and the learn never loses what it. Once has loved. When the time comes to Lay. Away yet another of our pets in the quiet Corner of our Garden where heaves the turf in Many a mouldering Heap t i often say Well Darling it s Over. But was i while it nearly divine someone once said his dog every Man is Napoleon. This accounts for the popularity of but i notice that to our each one of our pets of whatever Are very much More than Napoleon. We Are the nearest thing they know to the divine. I have spoken gently to a delirious dog and had him struggle Back across the Borders of consciousness to wag his Tail. I have Laid my hands on pets in their last distress and had them Stop their struggling As 5i some Healing virtue had. Actually passed out of my Strong hands into their stricken Little bodies. I sat beside old our Best beloved cat late one night while waiting for. The vet. To come. She had become paralysed and was crying in distress at being unable to. Stand on her feet. I sat beside her and. Told her what a Good cat she had always been and How loved her. As Long As i talked Tabby Lay quiet and listened. So i Laid my head Down beside her on her Towel ant talked about All the Good times we had. Had together about our Long trip from the East with her Anc Snorton Riding in a crate on the running Board and of her shuffling off every time for a meal and bringing Back a Nice a Field mouse for Snorton.

Clash of policies Canada s Trade ties with soviet dwindling Ottawa aug. 9 a s thinning Trade jines to Russia so taut you can almost Pluck them and hear a tune from the cold showing signs of snapping altogether. Decline in Trade Trade officers say the decline in Trade which in any Case has never flourished to the extent of Canada s shipments to and from demo cratic countries stems principally from the Sharp clash in the Trad ing philosophies of the two coun tries. Communist Russia is ruled under rigid state control. Her sales and purchases on foreign markets Are usually made under bilateral bulk buying arrangements. Canada on the other hand has rejected bilateral Trade. The Dom Inion believes in free Trade and wherever possible buys and Sells a the open Market. The marked recent decline in Russo Canadian Trade also May Stem from other roots. In Many instances what Russia want to buy Canada is not willing to sell and what Russia want to sell Canada simply does t need. Many overtures russian overtures have been made for example for the Pur Chase of Canadian Copper and Nickel two commodities which could Well be used in the manufacture of War weapons. The Over Tures have been cold shouldered. For one thing Canada already has made commitments Eor he Copper exports. Nickel is in free Supply but not to the extent when the Dominion has any great worry about markets. Russian offers also have been made to Trade meat lumber an caviar for other Canadian raw materials and machine tools. Canada does t produce much caviar by looks after her own meat and lumber requirements. And so Russo Canadian Trade has dwindled to the Point where Canada sold More to the communist country 20 years ago than she is Selling now buying in proportion. Furs Oriental carpets and books make up the items Canada takes from soviet some Canadian machinery Iron products and chemicals still get into Russia. Cd Jafnel Cap gris Nez France aug.
