   The irate Ranger killed thirteen porcupines chewing away on his front porch, and still they came, the salt proving an irresistible lure. In this same district a porky pulled the most impudent stunt of all.

   He snarled, and the porky looked to be running away but swung his tail and put about twenty-five quills in the side of our dog’s face.
