When n Woman Will.
The recent completion of a trip
around the world in an automobile by
Mrs. Harriet Clark Fisher of New Jer
sey Is another Illustration of the old
adage to the effect that when a woman
will she will and when she won’t she
Won’t. Mrs. Fisher did not undertake
this remarkable journey merely to
make or break a record, perform a
“stunt” or Ret her name In the news
papers. She did It for her health. She
Is said to be a millionaire manufac
turer, and she could afford even the
expenses of running a touring ear
where roads are unknown. So some
thing more than a year ago Mrs.
Fisher and her nephew, who Is her
secretary and serves ns chauffeur, be
gun the globe girdling tour In the
horseless carriage.
Tbcre were friends who strongly
urged the woman not to attempt the
journey. She said she believed It would
do her good and she was golug. Over
In India the British military officers,
almost weeping In tbelr solicitous real
for her welfare. Implored her not to
undertake the Journey from Calcutta
to Bombay, declaring that there were
practically no i:onds, that an automo
bile never had been sent through that
fiercely hot land and that vurions per
ils would beset n woman on such a
trip. Mrs. Fisier, with true American
pluck, thankee; the officers and said to
her secretary, "Drive on. Harold.”
Hairbreadth ’scapes were experienced,
but the Americun woman got through
all right, her health improved, her
knowledge of the world Immensely
augmented and her s*lf confidence
vindicated and do doubt strengthened.
The American woman Is becoming
known throughout the world for her
pluck and endtirnr.ee and her Inck of
the timidity and fear which obsess and
beset millions of male and female mor
tals. Mrs. Fisher deserves not a little
slice of the praise due to her sex for
daring to do what neither man nor
woman has attempted heretofore.
Germany refused President Madrid’s
request to protest against our Inter
ference In Nicaragua. Germany knows
what are the good things to let alone
and Is not to be fooled by upstarts.

THE HORSEMAN
When two horses become accustom
ed to working together, don't change
them.
in matching up the work teams
mate them in size, weight and disposi
tion as nearly as possible.
it is very hurt! on a prompt horse to
be obliged to work with a lazy one.
The wear and tear is great and un
necessary and a loss.
A Blemish Is Costly.
Soundness is an essential feature In
the mukeup of a driving or riding
horse when placed upon the market
A small blemish will not only lower
tbe value of a horse, but will often
prevent the sale entirely.
Various Horseshoes.
In Iceland horses are shod With
sheep’s horn, while In the Sudan they
are shod with camel’s skin. A Ger
man not long ago Invented a horse
shoe of paper, prepared by saturating
with oil, turpentine and other Ingre
dients. Thin layers of such paper are
glued to the hoof till requisite thick
ness is attained. The shoes thus made
are said to be durable and Impenetra
ble by moisture.
Thoroughbred Horse.
An authority expresses himself ns
follows: As an old horseman who has
bred and handled horses of many
types 1 have frequently been sur
prised at tbe answers given by the
majority of people when asked the
question. "What constitutes the mos.
striking difference betweeu the thor
oughbred and the common horseV”
Niuoteen out of twenty will name
the beauty or the speed of the thor
oughbred. But, Important ns are both
of these qualities, neither Is correct.
It Is simply that the thoroughbred
when he Is tired will keep on with an
undlmlnlshed courage and ambition,
while a common horse under the snme
circumstances will quit.
Ground Feed For Horses.
Old horses or others with poor teeth
should alwnys hnve grouud grain. It
is almost impossible for them to make
use of the whole grain. During the
spring months or at any season of the
year when they are shedding teeth
colts should hnve ground grain In or
der to prevent any unnecessary use
of the jaws during such a period.
It is nrgued by some that the cost
of grinding will not make It profitable
to grind feed for horses not at work
unless they have defective teelh. But
where one Is prepared to grind Ills
own grain himsplf the work can be
done at odd times, and the expemie of
grinding need hardly enter Into tha
question.
HOGS WITH
mLE FEET
Abating a 'Nuisance.
The Langworths lived in a comer
house so easily accessible from tha
street that they were constantly an
noyed by persons ringing to ask
where othar possible inhabitants of
that block were to be found. Final
ly, goaded to desperation by these
interruptions, the family boy at
tempted to put a stop to the nui
sance.
“I guess,” said he complacently,
“there won’t be any more folks ask
ing if the Browns, the Biddles or
the Hansons live in this bouse. I’ve
fixed ’em.”
“What have you done?” queried
Mrs. Langworth.
“Hung out a sign.”
“And what did you print on it,
laddie ?”
“Just five words,” replied Haroll
proudly, ‘Nobody lives here but
U3.’ ”—Lippincott’s.
Wrong Again.
A political speaker was attacking
the government of the day with
more venom than reason. A man
at the back of the hall at last cried
out, “You’re wrong, sir!” A little
nettled, the orator continued with
out heeding. Presently, in answer
to another strong assertion, came
again, “You’re wrong, sir!” The
speaker looked angry, but continued
on tbe warpath. “You’re wrong,
sir!” again rang out.
Angrily addressing the persistent
one, the orator cried: “Look here!
I could tell this man something
about this government which would
make his hair stand 011 end!”
“You’re wrong again, sir!” came
exultantly from the critic as lie
stood up and removed his hat. His
head was as bald as the proverbial
Ah expert oil hogs writes as lollows:
The mule fooled hogs usually are black
or black with while points and resem
ble the Folund-L’hiims more than any
other breed of bogs. They arc gentle
and like the I'oland-Chlua or Duron-
Jersey in disposition and as a rule
have line soft coats.
Their origin and nativity arc un
known. That they are a distinct breed
there can be no doubt, and they are
the strongest breeders.
Flit a mule foot male lu a herd of
common split foot sows and In a short
time you will have all mule footed
hogs.
These hogs are Immune from cholera
or swine plague. There are uiuny
people who hnve seen them In the
pens with hogs In every stnge of the
disease known as cholera or swine
plague, ana although the mule foots
were healthy fattening and tine feed
ers. they did not believe they were
different from the common hog. But
“there are others," and the others urn
In the majority.
After a careful search covering sev-
era I years 1 fall to find the “south sen
island” or any other Island or coun
try whose history gives any account
of the mule footed hog. And 1 find no
mention of the origin of this breed ex
cept one writer, who says they worn
brought to this country in 1(>:57 by the
Swedes and landed on the coast now
the state of Delaware. They were
called the "horse hoofed lings."
The author of the "Ozark Hog" ns-
sorts "they originated from the Texas
peccary.” The Texas peccury has a
split hoof, the North' American wild
boar has a split hoof, and every spe
cies of known swine has the spilt hoof
except the mule foots, and I assert
that their origin is unknown.
As to the special qualifications and
fine points of the mule foot hog, 1
know it to hnve gronter vitality than
any other breed of lings in the United
States. 1 Imve never known a full
blooded mule foot hog to have hog.
eholern. it Ir an easy feeder, develops
early and rapidly. Is in strong deinnnd
on the market at a premium, Is neither
a lan*. Anr a bacon hog. but n hnppy
medium jetween the two, making It s
profitable hog to handle under nil con
ditions and demands. The sows are
good, gentle mothers and raise largo
litters of pigs, which If turned out will
hustle for their living, or they will
grow fat and thrive, paying big re
turns under good care and attention.
Breeders of this hog find it as com
pared with other breeds hardier, of
greater vitality, mntures earlier, cost
ing less to make the first 2o0 pounds.

named Little, living in Dublin, who
had a daughter. Now, she was in
love with a chap she knew her pater
did not approve of. So one day she
eloped with him. When the old
man found it out he was very
angry and at once followed them.
Now, then, what time was it?
Smith (angrily)—What time waa

I can tell you? I give it up!

1 hnve interviewed many breeders
of mule foot hogs and hnve never
found one who has lost any from cbol
era. Many hnve made cholera tests by
turning their mule foots In lots where
other hogs were dying of cholera or
had died. Sometimes the mule foots
ate the enrensses, and they ate and
slept In the same quarters, yet no mule
foots were sick or died.
This is the claim made by all breed
ers of this bog, and some even go so
far as to sell with guarantee against
eholern. I may say I got these returns
from over n dozen states where they
are raised. I know of no veterinarians
who have made any tests with the
breed, and I was only succfcasful In
getting one experiment stntion to take
up nny experiments with them. In
short. 1 would say that tbe mule foot
so far as tested by farmers has been
Immune from cholera. Is a vigorous,
hardy hog, a good rustler and active
and seems to have lots of vitality.
