EVERYBODY CONTENTED AND HAPPY! 



Cows Suckling Pigs. 



The illustration on page 379 of the 

 issue of The Guide to Nature for Jan- 

 uary, sent to us by Alson Secor, Asso- 

 ciate Editor of "Successful Farming," 

 Des Moines. Iowa, attracted much 

 comment and some unfavorable criti- 

 cism from those who allege that such 

 a thing is impossible. Some experi- 

 enced farmers made such remarks as, 

 "That isn't true," or "The cow would 

 not stand for it." These farmers re- 

 mind one of the old man who went to 

 a menagerie and for the first time saw 

 a giraffe. After gazing at it long and 

 intently he turned away and exclaimed 

 in disgust, "There hain't no such ani- 

 mal!" 



Although we showed the photograph 

 of the cow suckling the pigs, some of 

 our readers, other than farmers, did 

 not take it seriously but regarded it as 

 belonging in the class of pictures made 

 to amuse or to deceive. But it is liter- 

 ally true, and now comes one from 

 Mr. L. B. Whitnall, Battle Creek, 

 Michigan, that is even more expressive. 

 The illustration is published herewith 

 and shows that not only are the pigs 

 having a thoroughly good time but 

 even the cow seems to approve, having 

 an air of contentment and, one might 

 almost say, of pride, in her enthusias- 

 tic even if new form of triplet calves. 



Photographing a Boat Race From 

 Above. 



Photographs of boat races taken 

 from the bank on the same or nearly 

 the same level as the racers, are plenti- 

 ful, but here is one that is unique 

 since it was obtained from a bridge 

 high above the water at a point nearly 

 over the racers.
