On the Use Of Mules.

!. Mules, on a general average, live
more than twice as long as horses. They
arc fit for service from three years old to
thirty. At twelve horse has seen his
best days and is going down hill, but a
mule at that age has scarcely risen out OF
his colthood, and goes on improving till
he is twenty. Instances are recorded OF
mules living sixty or seventy years, but
these are exceptions. The general rale
is that they average thirty.
2. Mules are never exposed to diseases
as horses are. Immense sums OF money
are annually lost in the Premature death
Of high-spirited horses by accident and
disease. The omnibus lines in the city
Of New York have not been able to sus-
tain their losses and are beginning TO use
mules, as less liable by far even 10 accl-
dent as we'll as disease. This results
from the next consideration, which is
that
8. Mules have organs of vision and
hearing far superior to those of the horse.
Hence they seldom frighten, and run of.
A horse frightens, because he imaglnes
he sees something frightful, but mule,
having superior discernment, both by the
eve and ear, understands everything he
meets, and therefore is safe. For the
same reason he is surer footed, and hence
more valuable in mountainous regions,
and on dangerous roads. doubt wheth-
or on the Alpine paths mule ever made
misstep. He may have been deceived
a The frmness of the spot where he set
MS foot, but not in the pyoPriety OF the
choice, all appearances considered.
4. The mule is much more hardy
.han the horse. A pair of these animals
owned by a neighbor of mine, although
small in Size, will plough more land IN a
week than four horses. Their faculty Of
endurance is almost incredible.
5. Another very important fact 49, tina!
IN the matter of food, a mule will live and
thrive on less than one-hall it takes to
keep a horse. The horses of England
=, this present time, are consuming gram
which would save the lives of thousands
of British subjects. In national point
orview, the agricultural is so great that
the greater the demand for grain OF all
kinds, the better for the farmer. But yet
individual farmers, who are in debt, and
whose land is not improved, would find
It profitable, in the course of ten years. to
leave the labor of full team, and save one
half and more of the food necessary to
keep it up as might be The case IN subsn
luting mules for horses.
