Hunting Wild Hogs in California.

There is a district of country lying
west of Bakersfield, and about twenty
five miles distant, which is the source
of much exciting sport. 1t is low tule
land stretching across the country
distance of fifty miles, and averaging
from four to seven miles in width. As
far back as fifteen years ago the hogs OF
settlers began to stray away into these
tules and grow wild. This has been
going on ever since, and they have bred
until they are now found to be very
numerous, and in perfectly wild state.
They are of all ages, from sucking pigs
to venerable old patriarchs Of perhaps
a dozen years, and weighing from a few
pounds to 600 and 700 weight. OF late
wears people began to hunt them, and
it has grown quite a business. Parties
of two or three 90 down there with their
wagons, on which are covered pens
and stay two or three days. They car
nv their guns and six-shOOters, and some
use lassOes. The hunting is done with
dogs. Having struck trail, the dogs
follow it up until they bring the game
70 hav. when the old males frequently
assume the offensive, and fight with
desperate and sometimes with terrific
effect. The huntsmen are always on
horseback and, the game being flushed,
generally use their revolvers to bring it
down. Some they capture with dogs
and bring away alive, and sometimes
they are lassoed and thus secured.
With the large hogs which the dogs
cannot manage, harsher means are
used, and they are shot down with SIX
shooters. Some parties have, in this
way. sometimes secured as high as
twenty-five hogs in one day, and dozen
Is not an unusual catch.
The business is found to be quite
profitable. The hogs are usually found
In good condition, and the flesh IS gen.
orally good, though at rare intervals q
hog is found the flesh of which tastes a
little fishy. They subsist almost entire
" on the tule roots, which are very good
food for swine. OF some bacon l.
made, while some are sold on foot, hye
cents a pound being readily obtained
for the latter. They are OF all coiors,
and are frequently found IN bands OF
