SUPPORT FOR WAGON ToNG"E
Iron Rods Arranged to Strengthen
Downward an6 Side Movements
to Prevent Accidents.

Wagon tongues are often subjected
to great strain and 1t is no uncom

means to support them in both down.

front end of the wagon body and
furnishes a grip for two hooks. each
of which Is connected to ring by

Welding rods. Running forward from
this ring is third and larger yield
ing rod which is connected to a clip
which encircles the wagon tongue
near the middle. The advantage of
this attachment will be readily seen.
ANY strain on the wooden tongue is
shared oy the iron rods. which being
made yieldable by spring parts in
their centers give just enough lee
way without allowing the tongue to
snap in two.

full one; he may be of any color.
He has the reputation of being able
to stand all kinds Of rough treatment
and still survive.
He is regarded as being able to re-
sist disease better than the improved
breeds of hogs. We very much doubt
whether this quality attributed to the
scrub hog is true, since we have no.
ticed that hog cholera takes the scrub
as we'll as the we'll bred hog.
One thing is sure that the scrub
hog can consume more valuable feed
and give less in return than sny other
animal that we know of.
A farmer who owns herd of scrub
hogs seldom needs any other corn
crib than his hogs.
He never gets rich selling pork, and
in fact II he depended upon his hogs
to make him money to buy better
bred hogs he would never own better
ones
The scrub hog usually keeps his
owner so poor that he Is not able to
buy better stock. In fact, this is the
excuse usually given for his exist
'ence Poor farming and scrub hogs
are usually found associated together.
They are near and dear companions.
Both make a rapid retreat before a
progressive spirit and there Is not a
better evidence of the general progress
siveness of people than the absence
of the scrub hog from q community.
