The first time I was invited to help hold ane af these uquirming lard buckets, it seemed like great fun, but when the poor thjng started ta squeal as an unshaven farmer, in ald clothes, approached it, with a wicked looking butcher knife in his hand, I thought of the cannibal stories I'd heard, We'iI drop every- thing to help our policyholders Folks who have bought policies can couat on us ta give their insurance needs top priority. %Vhatever the emergency -fire, burglary or auto accident-we re- spond ta your eall with, Swvif t, efficient service.

REAL ESTATE Residence RIA 3,5493 Bowmanvtlle' promptly lei go the truggling pig, and beat it - amid the jeers and caicalls o! the other assassins assembled for the butchering spree. Since then, 1 have been a participant inlaray such affairs. In spite of the àmelly, grub- by, slappy aspects cf the job, it had its good side, such as the social atmosphere o!f isiting neighbours, liearing their star- ies, mnd repartee, besides saide remarks about the aacestry of the "dear departed" if things didn'i go right. It was exciting ta help hang the big black sap kettle, f111 it with water, thea brlng it ta a bail with aId pine roots, However, T did not like help- ing ta lift the slippery carcass so that the "gain" stick could be placed in a notch in a rail leaned against the woodshed, because, u.1ually. jusl as everyoat lei go, cither the rail would break, or one end of the "gamn" stick would slip, and the whole performance would have ta be repealed. It's a wonder sueh shenani- gans didn't produce a nation o! chroaic hernia sufferers, cou- pled with eyes that bulged out about a foot. 1A simple block and tackle' wotild have made things a lot easier, but that would have 1been cansidered too sissi!ied: apparenlly, a strong back and a weak mnd xvere aIl the re- quisites necesýary. Anoîher silly thing was-only anc "pig hook" among several farmers. The chap using the "hook" xvas O.K., lie had some- thing solld ta pull on, but the resi of us risked aur very nccks trying ta keep aur bal- ance on the rickety table, while trying ta hang on ta slippery legs, and tail, as we heaved aur friend in and out o! the scalding barrel. Another maddening thing was, ta help some fariner who didn't provide enough scalding water, so that the head end, and the rear end o! the pig would bc prctty good but a big arca in the rniddle would have ta be dry shaved. Maybe that's how sorne rural barbers of the -past gai their start. It was always a "must" to put some hardwood ashes in the scalding barrel in the be- lie! that these would be a big factor in helpiag ta, de-whis- ker the patient. It sure made hlm sîlimy! I 4till remember using a ho]- low sweet claver stem to blow up the bladder, tyîng a six foot long string te it, and chas- ing the girls, screaming arouad the school yard. 1 now realize that they really llked being chased. It was a breath holding marnent when tmre patrlarch examined the pig's "mreit", and ia a voice o! doomn, proneunc- ed the kind af winter we could expect: If the "mnelt" was thlck et the front end. that'. when we could expect the hardest part ai the winter, and vice versa. My speclalty was, ta drap the thing, and pretend ta forget which was the front end. Melt or ne mnelt, we always seemed ta have plenty of wln- ter-at bath ends. O.N.O.
