"I thought I would like to join the Pig 

 Club this year, as I had never been in it 

 before. 1 got a pig from Ward Streeter's 

 farm in Cummington. I named my pig 

 Billy. He did not like water very well, but 

 would tip it over. I v/eighed my pig on 

 the scales out in the barn. Pa put a barrel 

 on the scales and then I got the pig and 

 put him in it and weighed him. He weighed 

 twenty pounds on the first of June. I fed 

 my pig in a small, V-shaped trough that 

 would hold three quarts. I fed him three 

 times a day. He became a great pet. On 

 the Fourth of July we were gone and he 

 got out several times. I took him to the 

 Cummington fair and he won second prize. 

 At the time of the fair he weighed one 

 hundred and seventy pounds. One day my 

 pig got out when I was working out in the 

 fields. We had company that day and they 

 took some pictures of him. At the begin- 

 ning of the Pig Club I fed my pig about a 

 quart of grain a day and at the close of 

 the contest I was feeding him about four 

 quarts a day.

$100 FOR CLUB WORK 



Massachusetts Society for Promotion of 

 Agriculture Donates It 



One hundred dollars has been donated to 

 each County Farm Bureau to be spent in 

 the interests of club work. The money is 

 to be used under the direction of the County 

 Leader. 



There are a number of uses to which this 

 fund might well be put.
