P11FERED PHILOSOPHY.

The man who takes life as dose, al
ways finds it bitter one.
Great souls can neither be starved by
poverty nor choked by riches.
There are good, bad and Indifferent
people, and others who are the whole
combination.
Whenever you meet man who dis
trusts everybody, you have found one
whom it is safe for everybody to dis
trust.
The workman who does no more than
he is paid to do. soon finds himself un-
able to get anything to do that is paid
tor.
There are some people whose energy
seems to be exhausted in reaching the
conclusion that something ought to be
done.
Some people," says dusky philoso-
pher, "takes credit fob lookin' on de
bright side VIXEN dey is simply takin
life easy, ready to shif' de 'sponsibility
when de trouble comes"
A man never realizes how foolish he
was until he accidentally comes across
a love letter he wrote to his wife be-
fore they were married. And the woman
usually wonders why the husband is not

Southern Farm Mortgages.

The south, for the most part, has
only incumbered some of it's chattels.
On the other hand, from the view
point of the investor, there can be no
doubt about the attractions of the
south as q field for farm mortgage in
vestnents. AS Bonds and Mortgages"
points out, the security is safe-rel-
atively safer than in any other part of
the country, for there is no other sec
tion where values put upon land are so
dispr oportionate to it's earning power,
whether it is employed in agriculture
or allowed to lie idle and grow up in
timber.
1t has often been said by shrewd OBJ
servers that If only a small percent
age of the money employed to give
the west it's start-and of course the
making part of the money was placed
through the medium of farm mortgage
had heen invested in the south in
stead, it would now be the most pop
ulous, as it already is the most pros
porous section of the country. But
whatever the ultimate economic value
of system of farm mortgaging in the
south, as general as that pursued in
the west, would be, there is no doubt
that such a course at this juncture Of
the south's development would prom
ise more for the section than if intro
duced at an earlier period, before the
strides in industry and transportation
placed the southern farmer in his pres
ent position of comparative independ-
ence respecting markets and market
prices.
The utility of the mortgage is Of
course the same in financiering farm
that it is in any other business under
taking; and the essential, or primary
difference, between the west and the
south has simply been the order in
which resources have been taken up
for development In the west the farm
lands came first; in the south they
are coming last, their attractions
heightened by all that has gone be-
fore in the developments Of other
things.-Southern Field.

FOR THOROUGHBRED SWINE.
Plea 0f q Kentucky Farmer For the
Subatitution Of Thoroughbred
For Razor-Back swine.

Many farmers who raise fine horses,
cattle and sheep. still have their farms
stocked with scrubs or razor-b back
hogs, cherishing the idea that a razor
back is the best forager and that 1t Is
more economical to raise them than
any other variety. AS to their being
the best foragers, that is true, but the
time when men could make money out
Of such stock has passed into history.
Forty years ago this country was not
20 denseIy populated and there were
vast forests OF chestnut, oak and
beech trees, besides enough mast Of
some kind or other, to keep hogs In
good condition the year round. But
now things are quite differentj there
is nothing for hogs to eat except what
Is fed to them by their owners and
many farsesing men in this and other
countries have bred up several breeds
OF hogs to high standard Of perfec-
ton hogs that will quickly respond to
the care given them. a razor hack. II

ADMIRAL TOGO KNOWS MEN
The Famous Japanese Sea Fighter
"Uses His Subordinates Like
His Own Fingers"

The world knows Admiral Togo as
a man of the sword, pure and simple
The world, as often, is mistaken. He
is something greater than a fighter; as
a judge of men, he ranks much higher
than as a soldier. His men never cease
to marvel at the ease with which he ac.
complishes the most difficult tasks of q
commander, and at the rarity of mis-
takes that he makes in the choice of his
subordinates, says the Detroit Free
Press. There is saying among the men
of the Nippon navy that runs something
like this:
There is only one commander who
uses his subordinates like his own fin
gers, and the name of that man is
Admiral Togo"
The old-time ideal of the sammurai
was the wedding of the soldier and the
scholar in one; and Admiral Togo is not
false to the ideal; he is student as well
as fighter.
II am no scholar" he is reported tc
have said. From my early youth, how.
ever, my masters have compelled me to
examine and follow carefully the teach
ings Of the school of Yomei. 1t seems tc
me that soldier can derive great deal
of benefit from the study of Yomei"
The admiral is certainly not the first
or the only soldier of Nippon who has
acknowledged his debt to the teachings
of the Chinese philosopher whom our
people know under the name of Yomei.
The school of Yomei emphasizes a per-
feet poise of the soul. The students OF
Z Yomei value, more than anything else,
the quiet balance Of nerve, the equili-
brium which cannot be disturbed by a
little thing like a bursting shell within a
few feet of man or a sword-gleam a
few inches before the eyes. The first
lesson that master of sword or a mas
ter of jiu jitsu tries to instil into the
mind of samurai youths the impor-
tance of attaining coolness of nerve anc
perfect poise of the soul. In the eyes OF
the Nippon fighting men these qualities
are much more important than the clever
handling of sword or gun.

MODERN MECHANICAL MAGIC
King Louis XIV. and his Court Dis
played in Cinematograph Pic
lures In Versailles.

F'renchmen who venerate the past and
abhor all modern inventions are terribly
scandalized at what they describe as
desecration of the historic palace Of Ver-
sailles, which was lately made to serve
Is the background for series Of theat-
rical spectacles organized at the request
Of cinematograph operator, says a
Paris report in the London Mail.
The object was to reproduce as faith
fully as possible number of character
istic scenes in the life Of Versailles dur-
ing the life of Louis XIV Eighty per-
sons were engaged to represent the
great monarch and his courtiers, and at
nine o'clock in the morning they drove
up in carriages and were admitted to the
palace grounds.
All Of them wore the costume Of the
period, and when the magnificent state
coach, drawn by gorgeously caparisoned
horses, had been brought from the Tria-
non, an imposing Louis XIV, dressed in
canary-colored silk and carrying long
gold-tipped staff, took up conspicuous
position in front of it.
Around his majesty was a brilliant
group of courtiers, with wigs and swords,
and powdered ladies-in-waiting and
further of band of musicians with flies
and drums and other instruments.
In a large open space between the king
and the Neptune fountain stood num-
Der Of ethereal-looking ballet dancers,
who, as soon as the music began kept
time with graceful movement as they
performed the dance of the Valkyries.
Ladies and gentlemen of the court
strutted about smiling and bowing, and
King Louis beamed with royal satisfac-
ton at the pretty sight Not far away
three gentlemen in irreproachable silk
hats and frock coats superintended the
working of the cinematograph in re-
cording IAN entertainment at Versailles
under Louis XIV"
Then white column of spray rose
from the great fountain. The king en-
tered his carriage, his courtiers formed
an escort, and, followed by guards and
retainers, the royal procession passed
slowly before the photographer.
In the ofternoon dainty nymphs dis
ported themselves to the delight of his
majesty in the Bouquet de la Colonnade,
and the days proceedings were brought
to fitting conclusion by duel between
patrician ladies, fought before the royal
eyes and those of the gentlemen with
silk hats and frock coats.

weigh 300 pounds at two years old,
while any of the leading thorough
breds will weigh from $50 to 300
pounds at eight to nine months old
and the thoroughbred pork is worth
from two to three cents more per
pound. One would make ro mistake in
raising Poland Chinas, Berkshires,
Chesters and various others. I prefer
the Chesters, as the sows are very
prolific breeders, often farrowip-. from
eight to twelve pigs, and they make
the best of mothers. The pigs will
take on flesh rapidly, and the only
objection that / have heard urged
against them is that they have thin
skin and light coats Of hair, and will
sun0urn and get NANCY. I find by
experience that they only get in this
condition when not properly fed and
are allowed to get poor; SO will all
black hogs, or hogs of.any color, but
they do not show 1t as much as white
hogs. There is no profit in keeping
an animal In this condition; and it not
only destroys the profits, but it is
morally wrong to starve dumb brute.
To parody the lines of the poet:
Sunburn and mango from poor condi-
tions rise:
Feed well your hogs. there all the
profit lies.
In raising hogs / think it best to
have all the sows farrow about the
same time; this may be done by keep
in;s the boars away from the sows
Then two weeks previous to the time
thelsows are to be bred, the principal
part of their food should be threshed
oats Then turn the boar with them,
and they will be likely to farrow near
the same time. By this method you
will have hogs of uniform size to put
on the market, which will bring re-
mEnerative prices and, besides, save
vast amount Of trouble in caring for
pigs of different ages. Hogs can be
raised successfully on almost any farm,
but some farms are better adapted for
the business owing to the abundant
supply of fresh water and plenty of
shade, which is essential for the de-
velorment of the hogs during the sum-
mer months. We strongly advocate
the hog wallow. It has the same ef-
feet on the hog that grooming has on
the horse. Not a stagnated pond, but
wallow beside a running stream is
best. Hogs are not ex-scavengers, as
some people seem to think, but are
naturally clean animal If allowed to
be SO. / prefer the colony plan in
caring for brood sows-one-fourth of
an atre sowed to clover with stream
of water running through each lot (if
not natural, then artifciaD, and the
narrowing pen built near the center of
the lot. By using this method, the
sows are not disturbed by each other,
and better results are obtained.-A. N.

fectly easy to distinguish between hu-
man blood and that of the lower NAM
mails it is dificult to demonstrate a
satisfactory distinction under the
microscope between human blood and
that of apes and monkeys. But this
is by no means all. For, whereas the
resemblance is greatest between the
blood of man and tnat of apes, it be-
comes less strongly marked when the
blood of the lower old world monkeys
is compared. still less so in the case of
the American monkeys, and least Of
all when the blood of the lemurs is
under comparison. This is exactly
what geological wiseacres might have
expected to occur, i. smuch as the
lemurs depart most widely Of all the
primates from the human types.
