Aren't You Also on the Pig?

Aren't You Also on the Pig?
Carlisle, 12/1, 1904

My dear little Carrie:

Honestly now aren't you also on the pig? When you kill yours, save me a nice piece of ham, and I'll be up and take dinner with you. You may also keep a few young chickens handy.

(If you're "on the pig's back," it apparently means that you're lucky or well off.)

Whereas today we'd say high on the hog.

Or high off the hog! Whether you're on or off the hog, it seems to be the same thing.
