A ease of brains against strength or more of “mind over matter,” was told the Whangamomona correspondent. of the Taranaki Herald, who writes One of the settlers, Mr Gordon Wilson, had been troubled with a lamb-ldlling pig, which was too cunning to operate except at night. Discussing the matter with his neighbour, Mr W. Adams, they hit on the plan of making the pig ‘'kill himself.” Their idea was simple vet clever. Mr Pig had one track he always took to the paddock, and this track was narrow just at the fence line. Here thev placed a loaded gun on the side of the track and lashed it in such a manner that the muzzle pointed on to the track and the gun was secure. Bv means of a block, a strip of raw hide, and a springy manuka set right on Mr Pig’s right-of-way, they completed their idea. According to them, the pig must rub or knock the springy manuka, which was only lightly held down, anil which in turn pulled the trigger. And the whole thing worked out according to their plan. In the morning the pig they were after was dead, lying by the gun, shot through the fore part of the shoulder. Could they do it again? NO MATTER WHAT CAUSE. No matter what the cause of the trouble may be, whether through cold, impure drinking water, or unsuitable food, Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy will afford quick relief from Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cramps, or Colic.
