CLEVER PIGS.
Do newspapers always tell the truth? If they do, then some animals have an astonishing amount of intelligence The Worcester Gazette says that a farmer has a sow and four well-grown pigs, which have the run of an orchard where the branches of the trees hang low, and are full of apples. The old sow springs up and catches a limb and shakes it, and then she and the pigs devour the fruit thus shaken down. When all that can be obtained in this way has been eaten, one of the pigs climbs on the mother’s back and reaches a higher limb, which it shakes vigorously, and so brings down a fresh supply of apples.
