Pork Packing in the West.

The nnual report Of pork packing iI the
west as compiled by Charles B. Murray, editor Of

packing to be 5, 5000 G4 hogs, against 6,139,2 12
last year; average weight, 25l,44 pounds, a de-
crease of Is. So as compared with last year; de-
crease in the yield of lard per hog, 21Spounds.
pork production shows pa, S5S less than
last year. The stocks of meat in the west, in
Guiding barreled pork, were 113, 600, 900 pounds
less than a year ago. The exports since Nov.
are A, 00O, GOO pounds less than a year ago,
and 145, 900, 600 less than the average the seven
previous years. The outlook for hog supplies
indicates about 10 per cent. shortage for the
summer. The Price Current concludes it is
not impossible that there may be a falling off
of SOC, 600, but thinks it more likely to be much
less than the total packing for the twelve
months ending March 1, 9,1SS,100, against
9,342, 800 the preceding year.

The --latest Snake Story.

North Carolina furnishes the latest
snake story. In that State is a reptile
known as the joint snake. When at
tackled in flies in pieces, each piece
taking care of itself. A darby who at
tackled one the other day was amazed to
see it break up and fly off in different
directions. An hour later he returned
that way, when he was astonished to
see it all together again except the tail
piece. In a few minutes he saw that
section coming mp to join the body,
taking sharp, quick little jrrks. 1t
came nearer and nearer until within a
few inches of the three-quarter snake,
when it gave a sudden Jump and hitched
on in its proper place with a fuss re-
sembling the popping of a cap. The
darkey knocked it to pieces sewers
times, and each time it came together
again. He carried his amusement too
far. however, IN throwing the tail part
| of the snake across the creek, just to
| see, he said, chow long it would take
to catch up" but it never caught up.
The snake, with the three joints, was
carried to the house, where a new tail
is beginning to grow to replace the lost
one. A gentleman who knows much
about this singular species says a head
| will grow on the detached trunk, and
! there will be two snakes instead of one.
