lies not so much in what is said as
the whimsical way a person says it.
That is why so many books of humor
invariably get "all-edged" mentally
by the reader between brack-

That, too, Is why SO many people

Insure Pigs In Sweden.

Though 1t is commonly known that
there is scarcely anything in the
world that cannot be insured, the lay
man would probably hesitate before
he fastened to Lloyd's to insure his
pigs. In Sweden, however, no difficul-
ties stand in his way. In fact, there
are several competing companies all
anxious to insure the lives of pigs
belonging to the small farmer. But
as yet the industry has not developed
as much as 1t might, since out Of the
seven hundred Swedish institutions
which insure live stock there are only
forty which insure pigs. These So
cieties are most numerous in the
thickly populated districts, where they
insure pigs only. Tho pigs insured
must be at first in good condition, and
the agencies refuse to pay IL the ami
mails die in consequence Of Ill treat
ment or neglect.

does not cut SO deep and makes bet
ter track on roads which are travelled
while the ground is soft. The wide
tire packs the surface into firm road
bed, and thus enables it to drain we'll
in time of rain.
In cornfields, plowed fields. field
lanes, and on pasture and alfalfa land,
the draft on the wide tire is consider
ably less, no matter what the condi-
ton Of the soil. The wide tire does
not cut up the meadow or field as
does the narrow tire. This is also
important, as q smooth surface in the
meadow IL much easier to NOW over.
Use no tire less than four inches on
your fields or on soft roads; make
King road drag and use It Thus low
or your own freight rates by lowering
your hauling costs.
