I have made a great many expert • ments with bogs and am now conduci ng hog breeding experiments, with tbe help of Mr. Spillman of the United States department of agriculture. But the mulefoot in tbe different tes's I l ave made by cros.- hroedir.a: keeps its solid foot in nearly every case. They are a treat boon to farmers j n districts where 'bev have trouble , ,-, Prize Winning Boar. with »be:r tegs mixing with their neighbors' begs, since the mulefoot is easy to tell from any other breed on account of their solid feet. For this reason I 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 jthey come from the wild hog. but I find them very gentle and easy to handle Claims are made by breeders of the j pure bred mulefoot hogs that com pared with other breeds they are hardier, have greater vitality, mature earlier and cost leas to make the first 250 pounds. The sows are geDtle, kind mothers, and are usually very prolific, raising large litters of pigs, which, if turned out. will hustle for their liv ing. or will grow and thrive, paying s big returns under good care end at tention. They claim the pigs are hardier and mote free from pig dis eases than pigs of other breeds, are great rovers, hustling for themselves j from the time of birth, and will us ually demand a premium on the mar ' ket. There is a wonderful demand for : them and this leads some breeders to | breed their gilts too young. One of * •be larger boars of the breed weighed : ■•‘7" potmls. and I have several that j would weigh 1.000 pounds if properly j fed to put on weight. Phosphoric Acid.

BARON HENGELMULLER ANGRY Baron Laaislas Hengeimuller von I Hengervar. Austrian-Hungarian Am bassador to inis country. Journeyed to the Hatnburg-American line docks in Hoboken the other afternoon to meet the baroness and their daughter, who were passengers on the steamship Amerika. Outside the docks were scores of taxicabs on which were taitneters which registered distances and the amount of change doe from passen gers. But the Baron passed these by and bis eye lighted on a limousine car owned by Hexamer's garage and driv en by Fred Voikman. one of its chauf feurs. There was no taximeter on this car. but in his pocket Voikman carries a schedule of prices. "Well take this." said the baron to the baroness, and he assisted his wife and daughter and the maid into the vehicle, and to Voikman remarked: “The Hotel St. Regis. New York." . voiaman arove to thererryand pay ing the passage money from his own pocket, crossed over to Manhattan. Then with all speed be drove to the St. Regis. The baroness, the daughter and the maid alighted. Then came the karon. He stepped to tfce chauffeur and asked brusuely: “How much?" “Six dollars end Sf;y cents. The fifty cents is for ferriage." answered Volkman. The baron s face grew red. his eyes were fixed hard on the chauffeur and he gasped: “Six dollars and a half? I'll not pay it." Ambassadors being bigger than Xew York police, Volkman turned the account over to the company for collection. PRINCESS PAT IS AN ARTIST New Yorkers are enjoying the opportunity of viewing some of the artistic handiwc k of Princess Pa tricia of Connaught, who recently won so much popularity there. Six of her paintings were selected from those shown at the Montreal art exhibition, and are now on exhibition in New York. As r. water color painter she has few rivals in Europe, certain ly none in its royal houses. A picture, reputed to be one of the cleverest works of the princess shows King Edward, smiling in perfect con tent, leaving the dinner table. "I Was Hungry” is the title of this whimsical conceit. King Edward dearly loved his niece. Patricia, and did his best to spoil her. He used to urge her to give imitations of their kin and roared with laughter at her skill at mimicry.

FOR EVERY FAMILY MEDICINE CHEST To the head of every family the health of its different members is most important, and the value of an agreeable laxative that .s certain in its effect is appreciated. One of the most popular remedies in the family medicine chest is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is known to druggists and physicians as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This preparation is mild and gentle in its action on the bowels, yet positive in its effect. A dcse of Sy-up Pepsin at night means relief next morning, while its tonic properties tone up and strengthen the muscles of stomach, liver and bowels so that these organs are able in a short time »o again per . form their natural functions without help. Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin in 50c and $1.00 bottles. If you have never tried this simple, inexpensive, yet effective remedy, write »o Dr. W. B. Caldwell. 20i Washington St.. Monticello. 111., and ask for a sample bottle. Dr. Cald well will be glad to send it without any expense to yon whatever. How His Brother Identified Him. ' Uncle Harris, an old negro, who has been a servant In the family of Colonel Slemmens of Monticello. Ark., for the last forty years, recently made a trip : to Memphis. Upon his return he was telling the colonel's daughter of his trip and the discovery of a brother whom he had not seen for thirty years. Miss Slemmens asked him bow he knew his brother after so long a time, and Uncle Harris replied: “I was walking along the street when a spare built looking man came up to me and says: ‘Say. ain't you my brother?' and 1 said, 'Sure I is Who is you?’" Auto Suggestion.

The small boy of the household was not notably proficient in sacred lore, but when his sister asked him. “Where was Solomon's temple?" he indignant ly resented the supposed impeach ment of his stock of information, and retorted: “Don't you think I know anything?" She assured him that she did not doubt that he knew, but urged him to state for her benefit. Though not crediting her sincerity, he finally exclaimed, curtly: "On the side of his head, of course, where other folk’s are! D’you s pose I’m a fool?” Fully Assimilated. Roy S.
