Description: 

When Flem Snopes buys the Compson property from Jason, he hires Wat Snopes to convert the unburned "carriage house . . . into a small two-storey residence" for another Snopes - Orestes (361). Res "fences up the adjacent ground into lots" on which he raises "scrubby cattle and hogs" (361). The hogs who stray onto Mr. Meadowfill's property next door become the source of "an active kind of guerilla feud" between the two neighbors (361).
