MuLEs.-By Hugh T. Brooks.--I attended
the late State Fair held at New York there
were many things connected with it of perma-
nent interest, and l take the first leisure time
which l could command to notice them.
There were present quite number ofmules
CT large size, and finer appearance that had
ever before seen. l saw eleven span attached
to one wagon, all of which were from fourteen
to seventeen hands high, and would weigh
twelve or fourteen hundred they belonged
to a gentleman i'll New Jersey, who informed
me that he works farm of 5000 acres with
mules, and finds great advantage in so doing.
He represents them to be nearly or quite free
from the ordinary diseases and defects of hors-
es, and if perchance, anything should happen
to them, turn Them out awhile and they will
get over it. They will do the same work as
horses, on about half the grain. They will
never refuse to work under the seductive fiat
terry, but like the rest of mankind they are
a little Malssh,' and prefer not to be kicked
or cudgeled. Ihad no idea that they ever at
tanned the size and power they do. / saw two
span well broken, and were very manageable
and doeile, that were owned in the city OF New
York, which took the first premium they
would certainly come up to the greatest size
and weight mentioned above.
Mules are coming into use very much in
New York. prominent business man in
that city, Mr.. VIM. Wilmerdng, Informed me
that his son had a span which drive very hand
somely, and make good time, performing a
mile in less than four minutes with ease Let
Fashion and her colts look out for their lau-
rels; for the mules viii after them yet
am determined to embark in the breeding
of mules, and | hope that every town that
hasn't jackass, will at once get one-I mean
one of the genuine, long. cared rariety-we
must conquer our prejudices the animal
has been damaged by un,oorthy associations,
and l think ought to be permitted to call upon
the courts for redress.
was told that alarge jack, with good pro-
portions, would cost in Kentucky, from 5000
to $500, and in some cases a $1,000.
Let us start right, even if it costs something.
believe our farm work can be done 25 per
cent cheaper with mules than with horses or
oxen, and in this opinion l am sustained by
my neighbor, Mr.. Morgan, who has worked
them in this state and Ohio. My friend Will
merding, of New York, triumphantly asked,
Who ever saw or heard of u dead mule =
Their longevity is remarkable, and while they
are as easily kept as oxen, they are more ex-
peditious. Success to the long cared tribe -
Rural Nelo Yorker.
Why are otmules more extensively owned
by our farmers ! They are hardy, cheaply
kept. free from disease, and will live as long
as the oldest inhabitant

GRAPES RIPENING EARLIER THAN FoRMRR-
LIN recent conversation with DR.. I'm
derhill, of Groton Point, he informed us that
both the Isabella and Catawba are evidently
ripening earlier, from year to year Ten to
twelve years since the earliest punches of Isa-
bellas were ready for market about the first of
October. The past season they were equally
forward on the 10th of September this sea-
son has, however, been remarkable and
some allowance is to be made on that account,
but last year, and the year before, the grapes
were as mature about the 18th of September,
as formerly at the end Of that month.
DIR, U. thinks the Isabella may be cultivat-
ed much farther north than has generally been
supposed, by reducing the amount of fruit to
the vine, so that there may be greater flow
of sap, and by this means an earlier growth
and maturity secured. He thinks much more
depends upon the method of manuring, prun-
ing and the general plan of cultivation, then
upon climate, since the often ripen poorly even
in Virginia aud Maryland, when Improperly
managed, and yet, in the same season, ripen
well in Massachusetts, A. Agricultsrist.

How MUCH LIME DO Soils NERD We have
lately had occasion TO remark, that less lime is
needed in soils than many suppose. Profess
sor Emmons, in his report on the Geological
survey of North Carolina, says" If We may
appeal to observation and experiment, it is es-
tablished that small per centage of lime only
is necessary to the highest degree of fertility
and yet this small per centage is necessary.
If there is present one half of one per cent, it
larger quantity in productive Soils" Prof Il.
is a chemist and geologist OF long experience,
and was one of the first (perhaps the frst,) to
ascertain thai some IF the most productive
soils for wheat in Western New York contain
comparatively little lime CultsuGtor.

Mr.. West went out and drove Him away. Smith
started for his home, and in short time return
ed with gun threatening to shoot Mr. West,
but as he neared the house he observed his wife
running into the kitchen. He picked up a spade
and commenced forcing the door and while in
that act Mr.. West shot him with fowlng piece
out of the window. Smith fell and Immediately
