In conversation with a Wanganui “Herald” representative a farmer gave a striking illustration of the havoc wrought by wiki pigs on his upriver farm. One day recently, whilst making his daily inspection of his property, he found one of his sheep boj;ged and in an exhausted condition. He extricated the unfortunate animal from the mud, allowing it to rest on firm ground -until it recovered. When lie returned to the spot an hour later the farmer was amazed to find only the bones anfi skin of the beast remaining. Wild pigs had attacked .the sheep and devoured every particle of flesh. Needless to say, the farmer is now an enthusiastic pig-hunter.
