Believe It or Not!

Friends of S. F. Lockbridge, former state senator, and James I. Nelson, both of Greencastle, are telling a story regarding the strange actions of hogs on their farms last summer. Mr. Lockbridge went to his farm west of Greencastle and on arriving at a field in which were some fat hogs he saw the animals jumping into the air. He Investigated and found them after big, yellow-striped grasshoppers. .The same story is told of Mr. Nelson., except that his hogs were so wild over the grasshoppers that he had to remove them to another field where! the provender was not so plentiful, in order to prevent the hogs from running offtheTatfaster than he could put it on by heavy feeding. t The grasshoppers were as large as a man's thumb and were in such quantities that the hogs by exerting themselves could catch enough to make their efforts "worth while.” —Indianapolis News.
