What IS it about shamrocks and PIGS?

Is it traditional to hit pigs on the head with shamrocks on Saint Patrick´s Day?

Probably not. For one thing, the inscription at the bottom says "Happy New Year" in LATVIAN. For another, this card is postmarked 1906. I think most of the people fleeing Ireland about then were probably going in the other direction.

Caption: "Post Card" [in 10 languages]
