(By JOHN H. DUNLAP. Pesident of
American Mulefoot Hog Record As
ISOLATION. Williamsport. Ohio)
Aristotle, who was born in 3S4 B. c.,
wrote of race of hogs with undivided
toes or consolidated hoofs. Later Lin
naeus. the Swedish naturalist, born in
1907. wrote that hogs with undivided
toes were not uncommon about his
native town in Sweden. This hog has
been known to naturalists in differ
ent parts of the world for more than
1000 years. At the present time these
hogs are said to be found In Sweden.
Holland. Scotland. Norway and Tur-
key, and they have been found in diff
ferent parts of the world for cen
turtles
The sows have large filters and us
ually raise them Although ! person
ally prefer not more than ten pigs to
a litter. large filters are to be pre-
ferred to filters of two or five, which
seem to be the number that sows of
some breeds farrow.
While they seem to be the same as
any ordinary hog except for their feet.
/ find that their intestines are smaller.
and this makes them kill out larger
percentage of meat. The liver, also.
seems to be different from the ordi.
nary hog. Soldiers of the Civil war
tell that they saw these hogs In sew
eral Of the southern states at that
time and that they found them hard
to capture. but that the meat was
fine.
The full blooded mulefoot hogs grow
as large as any Of the other breeds
when they have the same care. The
only thing that will keep their size
down is breeding too young. A great
many new and inexperienced breeders
get pair of these pigs and breed
them too young. and after they get
started with them inbred them to the
detrimeLt of their whole herd. Pros
pective buyers of this improved breed
should be careful to buy of expert
enced breeders who have more than
one boar In their herd and who can give
proof positive that they do not in
breed.
The American Mulefoot Hog Record
association. with headquarters In Co
lumbus. o.. was organized to protect
the buyers of these hogs as well as to
assist its members who are trying in
an honorable way to build up this
great breed. All hogs of pure breed
ing can be recorded with this associa-
ton that is backed by some of the
Oldest and most reputable of breed
ers.
My attention was first called to this
breed by letter from Mr.. Quinn Of

EARLIEST OF SWEET PEPPERS
Plants Require Rather Light, Well
Drained Soil, and They Must Be
Kept Growing From Start.

Perhaps the earliest variety is the
Neapolitan. II well grown plants are
set out early they will produce fine
fruit in June. The fruit first turns to
q light yellow and then to brilliant
scarlet
The Ruby King. the Bull Nose, or
Sweet Bell are fine peppers. They are
blunt nosed, round and about two or
three inches long. The Ruby King is
a little larger than the Bull Nose and
its flesh is very mild and sweet
These plants grow about three feet
high and are not easily blown down.
The largest variety is the Chinese
Giant. The flesh Is thick and sweet
and can be eaten raw.
Peppers require rather light, well
drained soil, and they must be kept
growing from the start. II the growth
is checked by cold weather or lack Of
moisture they will not mature well
When the plants show two or three
leaves in seed bed transplant in small
cans or flower pots. and again trans
plant when all danger of frost is
passed and. in fact, not until the
weather becomes quite warm. Place
a shovelful OF well watered manure in
each hill.

A Mood.

A quiet owl stole in the field below,
and vanished into the heart of tree.
And suddenly, above the moor-line,
saw the large moon rising. Cinnamon
colored, It made all things swim, made
me uncertain Of my thoughts, vague
with may feeling. Shapes seemed
but drifts OF moon-dust, and true re-
atty nothing save sort Of still lis
tening to the wind. And for long
sat. just watching the moon creep
up. and hearing the thin, dry rustic
Of the leaves along the holly hedge.
And there came to me this thought:
What is this Universe-that never had
beginning and will never have an end
but myriad striving to perfect pic
lures never the same, so blending and
fading one into another, that all form
one great perfected picture? And what
are we-ripples on the tides Of a birth

there is no necessity for artificial
heating in the houses. The city Is pic
turesque and interesting and surround
ed on all sides by mountains, the tops
of which have been lost in the clouds
since the arrival of the Knox party.
Scenery Is Beautiful.
The trip from San Jose to Port Linn
on is the more attractive because OF
the beauty of the scenery after the
first hour of the ride. The railroad
follows the line of torrential noun
tain river from Port Limon to Car
tago. IA miles below San Jose. Though
there are many railroads In the United
States through mountains Of greater
altitude than those of Costa RIGA,
none of them have the tropical vegeta-
ton which distinguishes this country.
Mountains which in the states would
be bare. bleak and desolate are here
covered to their very peaks with tbs
luxuriant growth that Is found at
Port Limon. The mountains are a.
ways green the year around.
Dry goods and a great number OF
household articles are bought from
Europe. 1t is frequently declared by
Americans In Costa RIGA that II firms
in the United States would study the
Costa Rican market as carefully as the
European merchants do and make the
same efforts to please their customers
they would have no difficulty in gain
ing a greater proportion of the trade
OF Costa Rica The same applies to
the trade situation In all Central
American countries. according to opin-
ions expressed here.
For example, tons OF concrete is be-
ing used in Costa RIGA In all sorts OF
construction 1t Is said that American
firms would get all this business II
they would pack the cement in iron
cans ra-ler than in barrels, the metal
containers being necessary because of
the dampness on the coast, which
spells about half of each barrel of ce-
ment that is not used as soon as re-
ceived. Another criticism of Amer
leans in Central America is that they
are too anxious to get rich in one
day.
AS It is. the United States receives
more than half Of the total exports
of Costa RIGA and sells Costa RIGA
nearly half Of her total imports. The
general view is that the sales of Amer
lean made goods in Costa RIGA win
continue to increase. It is stated by
Americans here that as the opportuni-
ties afforded In Costa Rica for agri-
cultural development on large scale
become better known in the states
more American capital will enter the
country. The opening of the Panama
canal win also help toward this end.

FERTILITY MAY BE RESTORED
Principal Factor In Restoration, 40
cordIng to Prof. Alfred Vivian,
Is Organic Matter.


ANY soil which was once rich can
be made rich," is the declaration
made by Prof Alfred Vivian. acting
dean Of the College of Agriculture.
Ohio State University, in recent adj
dress. The principal factor concerned
In the restoration of the soil fertility,
according to Prof. Vivian. is organic
matter.
"The destruction of organic matter
by cultivation and otherwise, Is
largely responsible for the depletion
our our Soils" said he. This organic
matter must be restored II we expect
our farms to be productive. What
does organic matter do? 1t Increases
the power of the soil to absorb and
retain moisture; improves the physi-
cal or mechanical condition of the
SOIL helps to control soil tempera-
ture, and is a storehouse of plant
food How can organic matter be re-
stored to the soil?
by saving all animal manures and
putting them onto the land; by max
ing use of all crop residues. that is.
putting back into the soil everything
not used for feed; by turning under
green manuring and catch crops"
Prof. Vivian pointed out the loss sus-
tanned by burning straw stacks and
other crcO residues and declaG I'd that
the difference between the careful
saving Of this plant food and erRn-
ton destruction was ''the difference
between the salvation and damnation
of our Soils"

ance Of nitrogen for the corn crop and
at the proper time during its growth
to insure a maximum yield. The bac-
terra in the manure will hasten the
decomposition Of the organic matter
contained in the roots and stubble Of
the clover sod and hasten them into
a condition available to nourish the
growing corn crop.
All farmers know that excellent
crops Of mixed grass may be grown
on a field that has produced good
crop of corn by the application Of
manure alone the previous year but
IL my opinion better economical re-
suits may be obtained II the manure
is applied at the rate Of from 5 to
10 loads to the acre and supplemented
with some form of fertilizer supply
ing an abundance of phosphoric acid
and potash.
The phosphoric acid may be pur-
chased in numerous forms, but in my
opinion the potash had best come in
the form of high grade or a low
grade sulphate.

We are always eager to get the gar

Better start the plants In the hot

It's a mighty mean man who will

sheep or poultry manure, in the rows

By w. NJ. KELLEY

On the majority Of stock and dairy

to apply the farm manure. A corn
crop is able to make profitable use Of
manure for the reason that it makes
its principal growth late in the season
after the fertilizing elements in the
manure have been available to nour-
Ssh the growing plants. by the action
