The RaZOr-Back Hog.

To the traveller through Texas one of
the strangest and most peculiar fea-
lures of landscape is the razor-back
hog. He is of Swiss cottage style of
architecture. His physical outline is
angular to degree unknown outside of
a textbook on the science of geometry.
The country razor-back prowls around
in the woods and lives on acorns, pecan
nuts and roots when he can spare time
he climbs under his owners fence and
assists in harvesting the corn crop. In
this respect he is neighborly to fault,
and, when his duty to his owners crop
will allow, he will readily turn in and
assist the neighbors, even working at
night rather than see his crop spoil for
want of attention. Crossing the razor
back with the blue-blooded stock makes
but little improvement. The only eff
fective way to improve him is to cross
him with railway train. He then be-
comes an imported Berkshire, or Po-
land China hog. and if he does not
knock the train off the track, the rail-
road pays for him at the rate Of 81 a
pound, for which they are allowed the
mournful privilege of shoveling the re-
mains off the track. The ham Of the
country razor-back is more juicy than
the hind leg of an iron fire-dog, but not
so fat as a pine knot. Western Plough
