The Southern Sow
AND HER WONDERFUL (POINTS
FOR BEAUTY AND BACON.
An Interesting Essay on the Native
Porker of the Sunny South- Rich
and Racy Descriptions -
How to Save Your
Bacon.
[W ritten for the Western Farmers' Almanac by
Prof. J. P. Stelle, of Mobile, Ala.J
If you spring the subject of producing
pork in the South you will, as a general
rule, be promptly told, especially if you
are in the lower South, that the thing is
next-door neighbor to an impossibility,
and entirely impossible if one desires to
produce good pork with a reasonable de
gree of profit to the producer. If you
are a man disposed to inquire into the
whys and wherefores, rather than make
up your mind from mere hearsay, you
will begin to draw plans for obtaining a
look at some of their stock (which can’t
be made to pay), and perhaps at that
very moment an old sow will yank a
picket from the fence, walk deliberately
into the yard of her owner, with whom
you are stopping, and. with a degree of
composure wonderful to behold, will fall
to shoveling up the grass-sods in front of
the door-steps and, laying them over,
looking for grubs with a handiness that
will immediately convince you that she
has entirely served out the trade of “root
hog-or-die,” and hence clearly under
stands what she is doing while she is
working at them.
And this is an average specimen of
the hogs from which the Southern peo
ple find it impossible to make pork with
profit. Having landed at this conclusion
(correctly enough, too, no doubt), you
will proceed to
A CAREFUL STUDY OF THE ANIMAL.
About the first thing of which it will
remind you as a whole will be a torpedo
vessel. the rooting arrangement filling
the place of the torpedo out in front on
the end of a long spar. But, with all the
ludicrous ideas that you may be able to
associate with it, honesty and fair-deal
ing will force you into the necessity of
admitting that as a rooting arrangement
it is really something supremely sublime,
to say the least of it. The diamond-point
of a gold pen could scarcely be more hard,
and an Indian’s scalping-knife could
scarcely be more sharp. After these con
siderations the rapidity with which grass
sods are being shoved up will not sur
prise you so very much. Continuing
your studies of the remarkable animal
before you, it will be necessary for you
to tear yourself away from its most mag
nificent “rooterthen, on passing back,
you will make careful observations of
the nose or snout. You will decide that
it is shaped like unto the nozzle of a
blacksmith’s bellows, and you will per
ceive that it is of about the same size.
Then you will ask yourself why it is thus
shaped and sized ? The answer will come
without delay, if you are a reasoning
being, that it may the more readily pass
between the spaces in a picket-fence, like
a pair of watch maker’s tweezers, enabl
ing its owner to jerk off a picket with
neatness and dispatch at almost any time
when the cultivated growths in some
man's garden would seem to promise a
paying return for so much exertion on
the part of the owner of the scientifically
planned snout. Indeed, that snout is
A FREE PASS, “NOT TRANSFERABLE
but, unlike what is the case with the
free-pass business in some other instances,
its owner is not always a “dead-head,”
though it will have to be admitted that
the dead-head part of the programme is
often played up to through the sterling
enterprise of the gardener, who lays in
wait for the favored animal -with a shot
gun. The term “dead-head” would, in
this case, carry with it a more literal
meaning than in the other, as you will
see, after a further pursuance of your
studies, a dead hog that is all head, so to
speak, would certainly be rather fairly
represented if referred to as a dead head.
But, after these scattering reflections,
you go back to where you left off in your
study of the Southern hog. It is a com
mon thing for Southern people to claim
that they are most fearfully poor, and
that they couldn’t live but for the fact
that the South is a poor man’s country.
In your study you will be convinced that
this most extraordinary snout, making
up the leading portion of the Southern
hog, is a glorious thing for the said poor
man who owns the said hog (that is to
say, if the hog is worth any thing to him
at all), as it enables the hog to provide
for itself, thus running up against its
owner no bill of costs for feeds.
AND WHAT A MOUTH OF ITS OWN
the animal has ! No need of borrowing
from its neighbors any thing in that line.
It is every thing that could be asked as
to extensiveness. It sets in just under
the “rooter” and reaches back to a point
almost directly above the fore-legs. And
vou take notes of how it works —the
head of that hog seems to be composed
of two long blades working upon a rivet
like a pair of shears. And what teeth !
They come together with the power of a
Pittsburgh spike-cutter; and once set
together to hold, they do hold with the
grip of a Missouri River snag-boat. When
those teeth have f astened upon a picket,
and that hog has tilted'back on its fore
legs, something is bound to come every
time —you may bet all you own on that!
It is to be hoped that you have an oppor
tunity of devoting your attention to those
teeth at work on a pine root. That mas
terly rooting arrangement already con
templated first shoves and shovels the
dirt from around the horizontail-running
root of a pine-sapling, then those teeth
come together on the said root just at its
junction with the main body of the
young tree, and then that animal tilts
back on its fulcrum in the direction the
root runs. You might guess the result.
Before you would have time to say “Joe
Phillips” that root is stripped of its bark
from one end to the other (looking, for
all the world, as if it had just been struck
by lightning), and that bark is being
ground up for application in some way
or other to the natural food-requirements
of the hog.
When your study of the Southern hog
has led you to look it squarely in the
eyes you will be surprised at the depth
of expression to be noticed there. You
will be able to see shrewdness and low
cunning beaming out from every corner
of its deeply-cut optical openings. You
will almost settle into the conviction
that it is a reasoner ; and that almost
conviction will be of vast use to you in’
preventing you from afterward forming
a low estimate of the Southern people
for truth and veracity when they get to
telling you what that hog is capable of
doing, and actually in the habit of doing,
including how it crawls out of bed in the
middle of the night and
LIFTS GATES OFF THEIR HINGES,
or removes pickets from fences, while
the owners of the said gates or pickets
are soundly wrapped in sleep, and then
how it returns to its quiet couch before
the usual waking-time in the morning.
Pursuing your study : Baek of the eyes
come the ears. These are not apt to
amount to much, only a few rags and
tatters of them having been left by such
dogs as happened to wake up on occa
sional instances soon after the gates had
been lifted or the pickets removed. From
the “rooter" to a position just above the
ears there is a rapid ascent in the surface
outline : but here the summit has been
attained and the line begins an irregular
descent, continuing this until it reaches
the end of the tail, which hangs limp
and uncurled to the fullest degree—that
is, if some malicious dog hasn’t happened
to clip it, a happen which usually hap
pens at a period not very late in the life
of the quadruped. About midships of
the animal are the fore-legs, which are
rather well developed. When cut out
and trimmed to shoulders of bacon they
strongly remind one of the billets used
in the game of base ball. Here the head
properly terminates ; and back of this
point there is nothing of special interest,
all the rear works having been built on
apparently either for balancing the head
over the fore-legs or for steering pur
poses. Hams are not to be thought of.
A PAIR OF SLIM PROPELLING-POLES
are rigged on at the point where the
hams of a hog usually grow ; but the man
who would undertake to convert these
into passable hams would be apt to have
only his labor for his pains. Texas Sift
ings has had the audacity to mention
these poles under the name of “hams,”
however, openly declaring them “more
juicy than the hind-leg of an iron fire
dog, but not quite so fat as a pine-knot.”
This conveys to the reader who don’t
understand Southern hogs, from which
the Southern people can't make pork
with profit, a rather clear idea of the
animal at maturity. The young hog, or
shoat, is something put up on rather a
different plan. At three months of age
it looks a deal like a cornstalk fiddle,
with the strings broken in the middle
and sticking out for legs ; at six months
old it presents in general outline some
thing the appearance of a small flounder
(fish) set edgewise on legs, with the ex
ception that it has a nose like a spike
gimlet, a head and face like a buzz-saw,
and a body, back of midships, like unto
the handle of a steel-trap.
And yet, with all these commendable
qualities belonging to their hog (the
Southern scrub—the only kind they ever
attempt to raise as a general rule), the
Southern people have the face to stand
up in meeting and tell the world that
they
CAN'T MAKE THEIR OWN PORK,
and that pork-raising can never be made
a profitable industry in the South ! How
strange ! I say the Southern scrub, or
“ piney- woodser,” as it is called in the
coast-country, is the only hog the South
ern people attempt to raise as a general
rule ; yet, for the sake of correct history,
I must state that a few years ago quite a
mania for crossing the scrub with some
of the finei - strains sprung to life in the
lower South. Many fine males were
bought at high prices and brought down,
but they are all gone now. They couldn’t
live on pine roots and stealage ; so they
were speedily gathered to their fathers.
But the cross? Well, the first generation
of the new cross showed some improve
ment over the scrub in point of shape ;
but by the third generation this was all
gone ; indeed the hog was really worse
than the pure-blood scrub, having lost in
head, thus cutting down its value as a
yielder of hog's-head cheese, and having
gained nothing to speak of in body. It
was what the profane called a “razor
back,” a variety even now quite com
mon in the lower South: head
short and small, making one think
of the front end of a rusty
but lately greased pair of old pruning
shears; body looking like it might have
been modeled after a fine tooth comb;
legs like unto the legs of a battling
bench at a country wash place; tail —
But I know the reader must be weary
ing over my description of Southern
hogs, so I’ll stop.
Sobering down into an effort at talk
ing a little sense on the subject of pro
ducing pork in the South, I would state
that a more foolish idea was never ad
vanced than that now common in our
section to the effect that we can not
produce pork.
WE CAN PRODUCE IT,
and with most decided profit—but not
with our “scrub" or “razor-back” hogs
of course. We can’t produce it with
these for the reason that it’s not in
them; profitable pork from the “scrub”
would be like blood from a turnip. I
think most of our people honestly be
lieve that they cannot produce pork; but
I can clearly see what got them wrong.
The pork which they consume comes al
most exclusively from the corn growing
regions of the North, and this has led
them into the conclusion that corn and
pork are inseparably associated, and
that without corn the production of
pork to any great extent is impossible.
A graver mistake was never made.
While I am free to admit that the corn
regions of the Northwest produce our
pork, I must beg leave to assure all con
cerned that I know, of my own knowl
edge, that the production of pork is not
what would be termed a really profita
ble business for the farmer of that re
gion. The production of pork is a neces
sity into which the farmers are driven by
the fact that corn, one of their best
crops, lacks market at home, and is too
bulky and heavy for shipping to distant
markets with profit; hence they are
forced to raise hogs as a means of con
centrating their product into smaller
bulk for more profitable shipment.
All portions of the south are not en
tirely suited to the production of corn,
that I will not deny; but I shall contend
that this fact does not argue against the
suitableness of all portions of the South
for the production of pork. New Eng
land is not a corn growing country, not
so much so as the south, and yet New
England produces much pork, and actu
ally does it with more profit than falls to
the share of the pork producer of the
Northwest. All rural New England
raises her own pork, and does it, one
might say, entirely without corn; she
does it on pasturage—on clover, for in
stance. In the first place New England
breeds only the best grades of hogs.
These are turned into the fields as “pigs’’
in early spring, and to prevent their
rooting up the clover either wire rings
are hung in their noses or some other
preventive means resorted to. They
feed upon the clover like cattle, and by
THE GEORGIA MAJOR.
fall have grown to large size, all ready
for the butcher. A sow and pigs is kept
through the winter on hay and the va
rious refuses about the farm, and next
spring the shoats are turned upon the
clover as in the spring preceding, and so
it goes on from year to year. There is
not a thing in the way of our producing
pork on precisely the same plan; indeed
w e have many advantages in its favor
which New England does not enjoy.
True, some portions of the South cannot
be counted upon as first-class for the
common red clover; but really we don’t
need the clover.
WE CAN BEAT THE WORLD
for sweet potatoes, for chufas, for pea
nuts, for Southern field peas, for arrow
root, for Spanish clover, and the like, all
the very best of feed for hogs. 1 men
tion these crop 0 simply for the reason
that they <ire pretty well understood:
but there is still another crop that can
beat them all, and is very far ahead of
clover as a pork producer. I allude to
Johnson grass (sorghum halpense), now
rapidly becoming a great favorite in va
rious sections of the South. A pasture
once set to Johnson grass is set forever,
and a johnson grass pasture is a perfect
hog heaven. They eat the young grass
with the most naggish avidity when it
first comes up in the spring, and they
chew up the largest stalks, swallowing
the juice and throwing out the bagesse
when it is full grown in the fall. And
now for how we are to make pork out of
it:
Ring the pigs iu the spring (pigs of
good grades only), and turn them into
the Johnson grass pasture. By fall they
are large enough to go to the pork bar
rel. Remove the rings, say in Novem
ber, and let them go for the large succu
lent roots of the grass, which they will
relish exceedingly, and which are known
to have wonderful fattening qualities.
Kill about Christmas. Leave the old
sow and pigs to winter on the remainder
of the grass roots, which, in our warm
Southern climate, they will do to per
fection. The pasture will not be injured
in the least by the rooting up which it
has received, for the next spring the
grass will start up again as thick as the
hair on a dog’s back. Ring the shoats,
as done last year, and turn them in to
summer upon the pasture, and so keep
up the same routine from season to sea
son, which will make pork undoubtedly,
and make it with much more profit than
can be realized from making it with
corn even in the best corn producing re
gions known. There is no mere theory
about it; the thing has been thoroughly
tested at various points in the South,
proving a most decided success in every
instance.
