The farmers of Catahoula county
Secure their swine In novel way;
They buil0 a pen near the forests SIDE;
But leave largo gate open vide;
then on the pen, from reach OF hogs
They sit. and call their hunting dogs;
At their mastec's go" the hog dogs hurry
Like saaep dogs after lamb flocks skurry
Yelping and barking all the time.
They beat about brush. oak and pine,
Until the swine with anger swell,
Come in herd from forests dell,
Large and small. male and female gender
In hot pursuit of the Offender;
Furious, through tho woods they follow,
smeared and dripping from their wallow
In the pen daslcs the cunning dog;
Sv fly tehind him runs each hog:
Then DER the pen. the wise dog leaps
Slam goes the gate. the farmer Keeps
Ills quarry safe; the work complete.
