Evidently the good old long-nosed Captain Cook pig is coming into favour in Wanganui (says the Herald). Of late consignments have been sent in to the mart for sale and have found no lack of buyers. Those who banqueted on a roast of the wild pig strain know of its distinctive flavour, as compared with some of the flabby whey-fed pigs. There is evidently a market for the Captain Cook strain locally, and this should open -up a prosperous avenue of revenue to Native settlers along the Wanganui liiver.
