FARMER SURPRISES COURT
That certain food which is supplied to pigs at Goodwood is eaten every day by human beings in Dunedin was the surprising statement made by a farmer who was giving evidence in the Dunedin Magistrate's Court. The plaintiff in the case, who was claiming wages from the farmer, had complained that while he was on the farm he had to eat the same meat as he was 'killimg for the pigs, and the farmer, when questioned on this point, re- ' plied that what the plaintiff had said. might be true. He knew that the plaintiff had taken two joints homs to his mother. "You eat the same meat every day, he informed counsel, who, after recovering from his surprise, remarked that what the eye did not see the heart did not, grieve for. Ihe farmer then explained th'at the cows to which he referred were killed for pig-food because they could not |be driven from Goodwood to the market at Burnside.
