OHIO MAN IS TO TEST A NEW
THEORY.
Believes That the Animal Is Natu.
rally a Lover Of Cleanliness
But Has Never Been Given
Chance 10 Prove II.

r. X. Rutter OF Lexington, o.. has
leaped into fame at one jump by an
nouncing that hereafter he is going
TO keep the pig In the parlor, says
the Chicago RecordHerald. Mr.. Rut-
ter. from adyIoos from the correspond
ent at Lexington, is a man with
theory His idea as he has evolved
70 Is that pigs are naturally lovers
OF cleanliness. all reports TO the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
He win attempt TO prove his theory
by taking six tiny little porkers and
bringing them 10 bright adult age In
his parlor. They will never know the
contamination OF the muddy slough
and the pen. They will be raised as
real ladies' and gentlemen and then
turned loose 10 choose their future
career in the parlor or In the muddy
bog. Mr.. Ruter is willing to bet dol
lars 10 douehnuis that the swine will
give the merry "oofoof' 10 the mud
dy bog and waddle back TO the par
Tor.
Mr. Rutter says that pigs are set
down by the unthlnklng as being
lovers of dirt because usually all their
early environment is dirt The ordi-
nary or garden variety OF pig, says
Mr.. Rutter has never had an opp0rtu-
nifty 10 show that naturally he is neat
and tidy. Pig raisers take It for
granted that hogs love mud and dirt
and they do not permit them to demon
strate to the contrary.
