	Old Sow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Old Sow is the name of the largest tidal whirlpool in the Western Hemisphere located off the southwestern shore of Deer Island, New Brunswick between the island and Eastport, Maine.
		The name Old Sow may be derived from a variety of sources ranging from the sucking "pig-like noises" it makes when churning, to a corruption of the word "sough" (pronounced "suff") which means a sucking noise or a drain.
		It is claimed that the Old Sow ties with the Moskstraumen for title of the world's most powerful whirlpool, with the former being measured with a speed of water current up to 27.8 km/h and the latter being measured with a speed of up to 27.7 km/h.

	McCook Daily Gazette: Story: The sow and Aunt Agnes
		By the time I was old enough to visit with "The Old Reprobate" as Agnes fondly called him, he was squarely ensconced in the Old Soldiers Home and unattainable to the likes of me. I sought him out in search of truth and sanity.
		I scratched with the hammer, Buddy sneaked quietly behind her and so carefully did he position the legs of the bloomers so old sow stepped into the legs without a quiver or squeal of worry that we might be doing something wrong or untoward.
		Tempted Old Sow along with some kernels of corn in a dead line toward the dirt road passing the farm and almost ran out before we led Old Sow to the edge of town.

		If the sow shows all the signs of farrowing but she has not produced a piglet and is pawing with a hind leg, or if 45 minutes has passed since the first piglet appeared and there is no sign of the second you will have to help the sow.
		The sow is prevented from entering the creep by placing a temporary wall of boards or strong rails across part of the shelter.

		The Portland, Oregon based band, who trace their roots to a jam session at the Weiser, Idaho festival several years ago, is possibly one of the hottest young retrogressive old-time bands in the country.
		Foghorn manages to transmit the energy and joy of the best of the old 78 RPM recordings with a fervor and attitude more akin to that found on the "college alternative" music circuit than at gatherings of academics and record collectors.
		Old-time music aficionados concerned with reproduction of regional stylistic differences may be disappointed by the band's consistently idiosyncratic approach to material as diverse as the "Round Peak" band repertoire and the fiddle music of John Morgan Salyer.

		Band A6 This version of "Old Granny Hare" was performed by Professor W. Bird of Cullowhee State Normal School at Cullowhee, Jackson County, North Carolina, in the mountains to the southwest of Asheville.
		But, typically, American versions substitute a comical refrain: "The old sow died with the measles in the spring." In any event, this text appears to be unique in its combination of this song with the "Old Molly/Granny Hare" song, representing a fascinating mixture of British, African, and American traditions.

		The troublesomest old sow of the lot had to be called my Lady, and your Highness, like the rest.
		Once it was a wild sow which scuttled out of the bracken, with two young sounders at her heels, and once a lordly red staggard walked daintily out from among the tree trunks, and looked around him with the fearless gaze of one who lived under the King's own high protection.
		They dig, they hoe, they reap, they sow, they bear monstrous burdens on their backs, they shove similar ones long distances on wheelbarrows, they drag the cart when there is no dog or lean cow to drag it--and when there is, they assist the dog or cow.
