w1LD-HoG KILLINGS.
Annual Eve NJ That Il Popular Ann . ms
<he Nadyes Of the Tennessee
Mounda fnn.

Every fall along the latter part Of
November the scattered dwellers in
the mountain regions uf Tennessee
gather together for their annual wild
hog killing.
The race of wild hogs found there
is supposed to have originated from
stock brought into the region by the
early settlers. The original swine
were permitted to run free in the
woods to fatten on the roots, nuts
and mast. Some Of them wandered
away and remained in the woods, and
from them has sprung the present
race OF wild hogs, says the New York
Sun.
These hogs show marked differ
snee in appearance and habits form
the original domestic stock. They
are tall and slab-sided. Their ears
stand erect and are twice as long as
those Of domestic swine. They have
curved tusks which in the boars are
often three inches long. Their hair
il coarse and wiry. The sayageness
Of the wild hogs is such that the
mountain wolves, which are yet plen-
tiful in the region, give them a wide
berth.
To this day the people who dwell
among those hills depend for their
winter supply Of meat on wild game,
and chiefly on the wild hogs. Tho
hogs are not in fit condition until
late in the fall, and then they have
grown fat on the mast of the woods,
and their flesh is sweet, hard and
juicy. They are hunted by parties
of half a dozen or more.
The wild hogs travel in droves.
They are shy Of man and exceedingly
wary. When pig-killing parties find
signs of drove the hunters close in
on the hogs.
Dogs trained for the purpose open
the attack. The hogs will show fight
at sight of the dogs and at once
stand at bay. The dogs are trained
to seize the hogs by the ear. No guns
are used in the killing. Each mem-
Der Of the party carries a heavy hick-
DRY cudgel and long-bladed butcher
knife.
The rushing in of party on a
drove that the dogs have rounded up|
usually puts to flight all the hogs
that are not held by dog. These,
squealing and snorting and fighting,
are pounced upon by the killers, who
stun them by blows on the head with
the hickory clubs and then cut their
throats.
1t frequently happens that some
overconfident dog is killed before the
man with the club gets in his blow
and then there is likely to be an ugly
fight between that man and the hog,
. fight that very often results in the
mans serious injury. There are not
; few Instances on record where . |
fight such as that has resulted in the
death Of the man.
Sometimes in a struggle with some
particularly determined and vigorous
wild hog, the pig-killer has been |
known to jump astride the hogs |
back, and, holding fast with one hand
to the long, stiff bristles on its neck,
sndeavor to stab the hog in the
throat. In one case man who re-
sorted to these tactics was carried
more than q mile through the brush
On the hogs back.
None of these wild hog pig killings
s ever ended without the death of
,ne or more dogs, and more or less
desperate fights between the men and
he hogs. A hog-killing trip fire.
Iuently covers three or four days be-
ore sufficient pork has been secured.

Cure strengthens the lungs, wards off
pneumonia and is harmless and never
