In my last report for Aug. 1S37 the

dried up after so much ra'n.
Instead of making remarks on the
weather and temperature I am goiug to
write on the different ways of how thc
farmers in il'lTerciit stales of the union
call their domestic animals.
Iu Pennsylvania it is with pig, pig,
peggie, piggio.ca'liag their hogs at feed
ing titn'. Ti.c North Carolina farmer
calls prg-i, pi -r-i, dv, cli ng each time on
thc i. Iloosicr yells, vrho-ce, who-ee and
and his pigs come on the jump squealing.
The buckeye farmer fcoaxiugly soo. soo,
soo-ooo. 2sow I am a buckeye and I
dont pretend to call hogs that way; I
call pig! pig!! pigi!! and they come on
the run crowding each o-her at the
trough selfish, greedy pigs. Kentucky
farmers cry poohe, poohe. I suppose it
makes no difference how you call the pigs
even if you oil them in Latin and Greek
they come all the same. Continued.
