W. W. Fudge has a cow at his LaCrosse farm that is responsible for the runt of a litter of pigs becoming the most robust of the bunch. The runt left the rest of the family and began sucking the cow early in his childhood. The cow assumed a motherly disposition toward the forlorn youngster. She would lie down for him to nurse when he was first 'adopted.' Later he would stand on his hind legs. Now he is grown up so he stands on all fours and takes his meal. The cow always bawls for him when he is not around. No, the folks on the farm do not interfere. He gets all the milk.
