With the view of throwing some light on the effect of climate upon 

 the fat of the hog, a number of wild hogs 13 were taken and samples of 

 fat prepared. The hogs were found to have very little fat and all. that 

 was obtained from six of the animals was made into composite samples 

 and rendered at once at 100° temperature, and after transporting to the 

 laboratory in sealed glass bottles the samples were filtered through paper 

 filters in a steam- jacketed funnel.

15 The wild hogs were secured by Mr. Agcaoili while on a visit to his home. 

 He writes as follows concerning the hunt (H. D. G.) : 



HUNTING IN THE PROVINCE OF ILOCOS NOETE. 



It was a fresh, clear morning on the 27th of May, 1909, when my uncle, 

 myself, and many others started out on a hunting expedition for the mountains of 

 Nagpapalcan, about 20 miles east of the town of Piddig, Ilocos Norte. About 60 

 hunters, armed with bolos, nets, Spears, and accompanied by dogs, composed the 

 hunting party. We arrived at the camp at noon and after lunch we were divided 

 by the leader into four parties and started out for the game. Within less than a 

 mile from the camp we heard that two deer had already been killed. A short 

 distance farther toward the foot of the mountain we started three wild hogs. The 

 dogs were upon them very quickly before they could reach their sheltering caves. 

 We proceeded on our way to the place where the four columns made their union. 

 All the hemp nets were spread in positions designated by the older hunters, 

 where the deer and hogs were most likely to run, after which each man took 

 the position designated by the leader. All of the dogs were then freed and at 

 a given signal from the leader all began to shout and hello vociferously to 

 frighten the deer and hogs. Men with spears stood near the nets to transfix any 

 animals which might become entangled in the effort to escape from the noise. 

 The results of the first run were 17 deer and 2 hogs. 



The next day the hunt was resumed early in the morning in another locality. 

 Long before noon 29 deer and 1 hog were killed. After luncheon the homeward 

 journey was begun. 



I am much indebted to my uncle Mr. Mariano Aris for his organization and 

 leadership of the party which enabled us to secure the required samples of lard.
