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.
