Remarkable Logical Discovery claimed pyd
Farn,s Stock and Home Regarding. hthe
Connection Between the Hog and Human
.Morals-Anl Attempt Made Here to Show
the FaIlacy That Has Initiated the Care
full Work Of the Farm, Stock and Home
Loglolan. II. 4
Farm, Stock and Home has made what
at first blush would seem TO be a remark
able logical discovery regarding the con-
nection between the hog and human NOR
ais. The discovery is this: ~
Under certain circumstances and condi-
lions the hog OF the community may indi-
cate the development Off human morals
! there.
Farm, Stock and Home then goes on to
develop the argument in this way:
F1rst-The southerner has argued that
the improved hog. of the north could by no
/ possibility be profitable In the south, be
cause you know, sab, that we can have no
use for a hsWg down heah that can't out
run a niger. The razor back is the only |
hawg for this country, -
! Second-But as a matter of fact the i'm
proved hog, especially the Poland China
and. Berkshire, is beginning to be seen
IN large numbers in Tennessee, Alabama,
Il
Hence, what can this signify if not an
Improvement in the morals Of the mig
ger! 1t Is evident thatsa hogs safety no
longer depends upon disability to outrun
a negro; for the improved types can't do
that, and hence the conclusion is inevitable
!, that the morals OF the Blacks of the south
: are improving with the .hogs of that re-
i gion. 4ss III: 80 l4.+a:
Now this would seem at slrst blush to
be very strong argument, but careful
} examination OF, the premises will show that
: error has been allowed to creep into them,
error which has yitiated the conclusion.
The assumption is made shat the improved
lhog of the north is Valueless in the south
, because 1t cannot outrun the negro. This
may have been true Of the first importa-
lions of improved hog into the south from
: the north. - - ~ q, .Ht>,. S..a~-s... Z,
IL But suppose when it was seen that the
improved hog could not outrun the negro,
efforts were put forth to so increase the
I improved hogs weight that he would de-
! IVelop to q point where he. could not sbe
lifted by the negro!t .,zs.j -. ,- 49,. :
Here 1T will at once be seen that a new
S factor has entered into the premises d
( factor that will: give the improved hog
:: Echance in.athe' south Regardless of colored
morals. Then It Will be: seen at once :ac-
: cord1ng to the laws Of logic that the syl-
v logism fails to establish truth. Let us now
restate 1t taking Into consideration these
: facts. .&.N4 es .,.g A..G-.
