MuLrs.-There is probably no branch
Of our economy that we act more I'm
wisely ia, than that nppcrtaining TO
stock, and especially so with regard to
mules. The price they rated at tho
past winter, should shurely open yonr
eyes to the improNdnnt course we are
pursuing Cool mules rated at 900
TO $l25, and not dull OF sale at that p!
Now take upon me TO say, that even
if cotton is at IL cents per pound, it is
easier TO raise good mule than TO
make $l25 or even 800, By raising
cotton. In the mode Of farming to ac-
complish the different ends, there is al
so a vast difference. He who raises
grain and grass will save, and if judi>
cious, improve his land, and from pas
ture, hays stubble and like means, may
almost without missing what he feeds
supply himself with mules and horses,
and as before said, if judicious, im>
prove his lands; but he who raises q
full crop Of cotton, cannot possibly
keep his lands from wearing out. They
must of necessity lose their fertility.
II any one ever harbored the absurdi.
ty of supposing that he could forever
take from tract of land, however
good, year after year, a good crop and
return nothing to it, few years of
Alabama and Mississippi corn and cot.
ton planting would convince him, II he
observed a little only wilh ono cyc,
that the ideas was a fallacy. But
still, however apparent The thing is,
we go on from year TO year cropping
our bare fields, exposing them to the
scorching sun and the washing shower,
ever taking from them and returning
nothing, and every season buying in
stead Of raising mules.
