Although there is nothing really OBJ

like to have plants in their rooms,

In that case they can make quite an

as the tendency of the pure bred mule
foot to assert itself with a solid foot

still puzzllng the experts.
This breed gets its name from its
solid foot, which is solid like that Of
a horse or mule. The flesh is of a re-
markedly fine flavor-even better than
the Berkshire. President Taft was
sent a dressed mulefoot pig for
Christmas few years since and
praised 1t highly. People who are not

by JOHN H. DUNLAP, President Of
American Mulefoot Hog Record As
ISOLATION, Willlamsport. Ohio)
Aristotle, who was born in 1884 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 u.s.
ually raise them. Although l person
ally prefer not more than ten pigs to
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
detriment of their whole herd. Pros
pective buyers of this improved breed
should be careful to buy of expert
enced breeders who have more than

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 a letter from Mr.. Quinn of
the United States department of agri-
culture. 1t seems that the govern
ment has never been able to find out
where or how this breed got its solid
foot. There are a great many ideas

FOR VEGETABLES
When Soil Is Warm and Mellow
Sow Seeds of Such Tender
Plants as Beans and
Sweet Potatoes.

Sow seeds of tender vegetables If
the soil is warm and mellow. The
important ones are beans, corn, Gu
cumbers, egg plants, melons, okra,
pepper, pumpkins, squash, sweet po'
tatoes and tomatoes. None of these
young plants can stand even light
frost.
First thinning and transplanting Of
vegetables and flowers. Write your
labels and mark on the labels the dis.
lance apart plants should stand when
thinned or transplanted.
Transplant tender vegetables and
flowers from hotbed to garden.
Set out bedding plants If you must
have them. But think twice. Don't
you really want something less gaudy
and more permanent, namely, hardy
perennials?
Finish second thinning of every.
thing in the garden. Transplant cell
cry the second time.
Keep an eye out for these:
Jack Frost, first signs of cabbage
and cauliflower insects; also
The moment when the petals fall in

Bishop Anderson of Chicago, sup
ported by goodly array of pastors
In other cities. has declared that the
church should not celebrate marriage
unless the intending bride and groom
bring certificates OF health and san
ity. A Boston lady, the Rev. Mabel
H. Witham, now purposes to subject
the candidates to three other tests
as well. She will require the certifi-
cate OF a flnancier that the man is
able to support a wife; one from a
housekeeper that the woman is able
to take charge of a household, and
finally she would have evidence that
the pair are supplied with love i'm

things glorious in their lives" says

rules. No man ever lived that was

on the way he found rich treasure

For solIed Coat Collars.

To clean coat collars try the follow
ing way: Instead of cloth, which
has to be kept in motion for long
while to avoid leaving a ring in place
of spot, use an old tooth brush. Dip
it into the naphtha until thoroughly
saturated, then few brisk rubs and
the spot or CRIME has left for parts

would not be advisable to use brush
on any fabric like satin.

in districts where they have trouble
with their hogs mixing with their
neighbors' hogs, since the mulefoot
is easy to tell from any other breed
on account of their solid feet. For
this reason l advise breeders not to
sell to any Of their immediate neigh
bors If possible. This one point is
worth hundreds of dollars in case of
disputes about hogs when they get
mixed. Since there are so few herds
in the country it prevents any one
driving off your hogs if you have this
breed. A great many suppose that
they come from the wild hog, but
find them very gentle and easy to
handle.
Claims are made by breeders of the
pure bred mulefoot hogs that COM
pared with other breeds they are
harder, have greater vitality, mature
earlier and cost less to make the first
$50 pounds. The sows are gentle, kind
mothers, and are usually very prolific,
