HAS A MULE-FOOT HOG.
kansan Proposes to Raise Swine That
Even Jews Can Eat.

Ottawa, Kan, March 10.-Oscar
Dyer of Centropolis township has re-
ceived by express from Ebert, Ind, a
fine specimen of the ''mule-foot hog"
a novelty in this section. Mr.. Dyer
proposes to propagate the breed.
The mule-foot hog is so called be-
cause it's hoofs exactly resemble those
of a mule-differing from other hogs
in that the hOof is not cloVen. The
animal is not a freak but an individual
of a distinct breed. The dominant
color is black but individuals may be
slightly spotted with white. The body
is rangy on long legs and the animal
does not take on much fat. For this
reason it is known commercially as
the bacon hog"
