Snakes as Hog Fatteners.

"Snakes as food for hogs beat
.chestnuts, acorns or any OF the
fancy foodstuffs," says Sam Taylor
"Of course, you know that in some
parts of Europe pigs have killed
out the vipers. I was in North
Carolina some months ago. and
found there novel industry had
been undertaken by a number OF
men whose lands were overrun by
the small variety of snakes that
infest that section. The snaket
were so numerous ss to be. q
nuisance. One farmer tried the
hog as an exterminator. He
succeeded so well that be found
the drove of animals he had turned
loose on the plantation had not
only decreased the number oi
snakes, but that they were actually
thriving on them. He told his
neighbors about it, and now the
whole valley is one large hog pen
in which hundreds of the animals
are feeding literally on snakes
Formerly no one would buy land
there, Notwithstanding the beauty
of the place, because of the snakes
but now that the remedy has been
found, and at the same tirne b,e
money is made on the pigs that
grow fat on snake food, the land is
destined to be in great demand
as it is the most fertile land ir
North Carolina. This may sound
like a fairy snake tale, but l as
sure you that it is correct, ane
that hundreds of pigs are sole
from that valley every year tha
have literally become fat OF
snakes"
