WILD PIGS' RAVAGES
MANY LAMBS DESTROYED.
(Per United Press Association.)
WANGANUI, November 20.
Wild pigs are still numerous along the Wanganui River banks, and are doing much damage. One up-river settler states that he has lost 400 lambs this season through the ravages of wild pigs. A rather strange fact is mentioned by another farmer, who declares that when shorn sheep are turned out on ground usually run over by wild pigs, the latter disappear. He expresses the view that the pigs mistake shorn sheep for dogs.
