haven't yet discarded all the good old!
things for the fads and fancies of the]
present day.   Laporte is a very modern I
city,   clean -wide  streets,   well   kept j.
stores, modern public buildings and i
schools,    and    commodious    hotels.:
Just outside of the city is the fa"rm of
Belle  Gunness,, the arch-murderess.
Our morbid curiosity tempted us to
drive out to this farm, reaching there
just about dusk.   It certainly presented a wierd, gruesome aspect wilh its j
deserted buildings, boarded windows, I
yards and fields overgrown with weeds |
and thirteen empty graves.   It certainly gave us all the "willies.:' '
"At Valparaiso, Ind., we were held-}
for speeding,  but a plausible   argu- j
ment and credentials from our home !
cities saved us from getting more than |
a reprimand and the hand • of good ]
fellowship.    Through the most parts :
of Indiana there are thrifty farmers, -
good   farm   buildings,    fine   school- ]
houses and the best highway of any.)
state through which we passed.   Tliey j
are corn farmers right in Indiana, and !
thej' certainly have tbe'soil for it.
"Mr. Longfellow being interested in j
the Saline.creamery,   we visited the!
Elginr 111.,   plant.     This,   however,!
was a disappointment  to   us,   being
more of the office center than the real
big creamerjr plant we expected to see.
"We "spent one night in Chicago.
Auto tourists find it hone too easy to■!
pilot  a  machine  through   this   big, i
noisy city, with its elevated above, the J
cable below, trucks, autos and street;
cars on the level, and the people hur- '
rying, hurrying in. a   mad  rush  to
reach the end of time.   We who -live}
in the small quiet cities of Am. Arbor J
and Saline fail to appreciate with what!
pleasure  and   safety we   travel   our t
streets. ;
"The farms through Illinois, that is ;
the best ones, were largely under corn,>
more lowland and not as good roads •
as Indiana. - i
"We-crossed the Mississippi river at]
Clinton,  having   gone  this   distance i
without having a puncture nor a mo-1
merit's delay on account of our machine,   having   only   four punctures
Irom Ann Arbor to Colorado Springs.
From Clinton, la., we went to Arcadia
where we left our car four and a half
days on account of the roads, it having rained a few days  before.    The
soil is gumbo and it is just impossible
to travel over these roads while wet.
While waiting for the roads to dry we
took the train ior Omaha, Neb., where
they   were   celebrating  their  annual
Aksarben—this is  Nebraska   spelled
backwards.     Thousands of dollars are
spent  on   display   each. year.     The
floats-were beautiful, one being "The
Landing of Columbus."     "The Dove
of Peace,", which was an auto entirely
| covered with natural white flowers es-
' cepting the eyes, which were two American Beauty roses, and all kinds of
j industries were represented-by floats.

the same time they have the  Omaha
State Fair, Pure Food Shows, Etc.    At

called    to    the   platform    and     he|
paid  Michigan   many, high  eompli-j
ments   during  his   twenty   minutes' [

there were none better than the "Pride j

Description of The
■       ' Mule Foot Hog,
The Mule Foot Hog is black, very
few of them- .have white feet. They,
"derived their name from having a
solid foot like a mule or horseT" They
have duclaws on. the side of the foot,
same as.other breeds. The origin of
the Mule Foot Hog is not certainty
known. Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, described them 2260 years ago.
It is believed the Mule Foot" Hog came
from Africa. It is certain that they
are not freaks or sports and have" not
been produced by any kind of cross
breeding with other species. They
were, bred extensively in England by
Lord Eeagh. 100 years ago, brought'to
America from Europe or Africaand
drifted westward through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri before the Civil war
and is now a leading breed in many
parts of the country and. is-giving entire satisfaction wherever they are
given a fair trial. •
The Mule Foot Hog is a vigorous,
active, growthyi good natured and a
nice looking hog.' The sows are verjr
careful mothers, heavy milkers and
raise large litters of pigs. The pigs
are strong and active at birth and
grow rapidly, making the first 200
pounds at a verj' low cost. They are
easity fattened at anj' age and the
meat is -of the very best flavor and
quality. The Mule Foot Hog is one
of the large breeds. The sows, generally weigh 400 to 500 pounds at maturity and the boars are 100 pounds larger.
They usually can be made to. weigh
200 pounds at six months, 300 pounds
at eight months old. Young sows usually .farrow from six to ten pig? the
first litter and eight to twelve from
plder ones. The size of 200 litters in
one .herd' was 1629 pigsj 91 of these
were first litters. Visitors always notice the kind disposition. They are
very tame and easy to handle. Thejr
are a very hardy hog and are not subject to diseases as other hogs.
Breeders are frequently asked if the
Bible does not forbid the use of these
bogs for food because they have a
solid foot. Therefore we quote from
Deut. 14:4,6,8; "These are the beasts
which y*e shall eat, the ox, the sheep
and the goat. And every beast that
parteth the hoof and cleaveith the elift
into two claws~and cjueweth tlfe cud
among beasts that ye shall eat. And
the swine because it divideth the hoof
and yet chev/eth not the cud, it is unclean unto you; ye shall not eat of
their flesh nor touch their dead carcass." This quotation from the Jewish law plainly forbids pork of all
breeds of hogs for food because swine
do not chew their cud and the Jews do
not eat pork for that reason. However, in the New Testament-we read as
follows: Acts 10:10-16—"And he became very hungry,, and would have
eaten: but he fell into a trance and
saw heaven opened aiid a certain vessel descending unto him. As it had
been a great sheet knit at the four cor-
hers and let down to the earth; wherein were all manners of four footed
beasts of the earth. And there came a
voice to him. Rise, Peter, kill and
eat. But Peter said, Not so, Loid, for
I have,never eaten anything that is
common or unclean; and the voice
spake unto him'again the second time
What God hath cleansed, that call not
thou" unclean." This is our excuse
for eating common pork and it certainly does not forbid"-; Mule Foot
pork which is pronounced bj' those
who have eaten it the best in the.
world. * "...'.
