Johnson's Fine Hogs brings up the Subject of the Caterpillar Year. - - *i*i- -- \ { POr l lie OIMIIII,J "Good evening Captain! iiow do Christmas limes serve you? Js it too cold to run that land tomorrow? II it is mv trip is not lost a n* way for 1 have been wanting to see you a long time." "Get down, get down, you're pearly frozen* now, go in the house to the fire. 1'il take your horse," "All right, where's Mil and Miss Lizz i?'' All in the house go right in." "Good evening Mi?." "Miss L\zza what are you all driving at these Christmas times?" "Oh we've just Uirougu supper, eat supper here before dark. Warm and come right in the dining room.''?"That's right, I'd Jove to live with you old people who Jove soon suppers. **'H?ve some coffee, try some of the turkey and''?uNo, no meat to night, biscuit, cheese, potato pone, cocoanut pie, cakes^kc. <fce. make the supper already too good!" "Well Captain, you find it pretty cold feeding up: but tell me where did you raise all those big 2-vear-old barrows? how manyi are you going to kilf 'this year?"' 'Well, about 40, but some are smaller." But tell me, Captain, ab.iui the cholera; how can you keep so many hogs?" "Well, you see, I have not been bothered with the hog chol? n.iturni'inr vear era since* me ? when my hogs ale so many cater pillars, and took the cholera and so many died." ' But, Captain, did the hogs eat the caterpillar.-?1' ' Why yes! they would go to the bunches of caterpillars where they lay like swarms of beqs on the sides of the trees near the ground and just gorge themselves." "But say, Capt Johnson, in ^^earnesf. dl.l the hogs eat them?' "" - * :"1" iliou Hii1 ;ind " \V 11V CVII'IIIIJ ..IV J the cholera killed them like sheep." Weld Wei ! I remember that caterpillar year when they ate every green leat all along LynchV river swamp, and I don't think you could find a green black gum, or pop-ash !eal< from Pee Dee to . the K It bridge at Effingham and bow much farther I know not." "But 1 don't know how it was at Pee Dee swaiups. How was it, Captain?" ' Well, I tell you, they fell 111 the river and drilled in drifts. I went fishing in the old dead river aud caught - the- fish under the caterpillar drift, the live ones on top would.crawl up the boat sides until the gunnels were covered about 6 inches deep with caterpillars, and they crawled all over me. No use to knock them off, they came too fa+t." "Well, here's the doctor, tell us, Dr, about those caterpillars in Pee Dee!*' *' Well, I tell you one thinTs, they whipped out some ratt harids who tied up with an inch manila rope at the old dead rtver and tried to cook; but before they could cook, the pan was. running over with the caterpillars: So they went, back home; but the worms climbed on the rope until it was bigger than one of the logs in the rail, and the floating drifts of caterpillars jaifimed the raft until the rope broke." "Mr Covington was running a turpentine still, at Savage and had to quit." i4He skimmed off the caterpillars in the still and had a pile of them as big as big as a potato bankwand a? high as your head an(5tttev stunk worse than two J , dead hoWes; the spirits were red and stunk so it would not sell and it was sent back to him." "Well, Well, Dr, that was a scourge almost equal to one of Pharoah's plagues." 4,I remember I was apprehensive abou! the nnw year, lor il mi ... i .:^i t tw\n , every caterpillar iaiu unw ami all hatched out, what wouid become of us? Woul^ they no' eat up the lorest and kill Hie trees." "But the <rood Lord in hi? kind providence caused a warm spell of weather 111 February, which lasted so long the eggs hatched out. thinking it was spring. But March brought a cold spell which retarded the budding of the trees until the worms ? arv< d to death in the cold and for the want ol leaves to eat." "But. Contain, tell us more about the hog cholera and how you raise so many hog>?" ' Well, I tell you, I get some pulverized sulphur and carry on a drizzly day, and while the hogs are eating I sprinkle it on them and on the corn and in a short while they seem to clean off, look fresh and grow right on " "I have not iiad any cholera among my hogs since the caterpillar year. I had one old sow to die w th old age after I had raised 100 pigs from her,but no cholera." ' Well,* Captain, I've kept you up long enough.
