From the Prairie Farmer.
Protection OF Cattle i'm Winter.


Farmers shiver at the bare thought of
the wild animals of our prairies lying
out during those intensely cold nights,
with the thermometer sinking, and al
ready far below zero. The rabbit, the
wolf, and the prairie chicken even, share
IN our liberal sympathies, while our less
fully naturally clad domestic animals can
drop down anywhere by the straw stack
and none too well filled up at that, without
sympathy.
The herds of the farmer represent the
increase of a portion of his capital, and
the time and care which he takes of them
quite clearly indicates his intelligence and
adaptation TO business. That farmer who
winters an animal constantly Iessening in
flesh, that he may realize its growth dur
ing six months of the year, is like the
man who would not let his boy 90 to
school when he was young, fearing that he
would have nothing to learn when he be-
came man and went to college; or he
is like capitalist, willing to have his mo-
ney decreased in amount one-fourth the
time, for want of care, because 1t brings
a remunerating profit the balance.
The growing Of stock in Illinois is
highly profitable, whether for home or
distant markets, but the subject of protec-
ton from cold is one upon which we are
very, very negligent. Idare not give my
opinion as to the fraction of domestic ami
mails sheltered and cared for, as they
should be in Illinois and other western
States and Territories. The almost uni
versal excuse given is want of lumber;
tie real cause is the want Of desire, or

Mules VS.. Horses.

The prominent reasons for using mules
in teaming and farm labor in preference
to horses, are briefly explained by cor-
respondent Of the GeneSee Farmer:
They live to much greater age a
mule has scarcely attained his natural
strength at twelve years, an age in which
horses have commenced rapid deteriora-
alton in value and usefulness: the aver
age life of the mule is about thirty years,
but often a, forty they are known to per-
form efficiently the most laborious serYi-
ces.
A team of of mules will accomplish al
most the labor of horses with the consum-
tion of one third less provinder. Within
the last few years mules have been ex-
tensiVely introduced into the teaming op.
erations of the manufacturing district in
which l reside, and are universally con-
sidered here more efficient and economi-
cal than horses. Mules are subject to but
few diseases that prevail among horses.
Their hard skin and soft hair render them
less liable to be CALLED by the harness or
affected by cutaneous diseases.
They are said never to be infested by
vermin. The vision of the mule is much
more quick and distinct than that of the
horse, and, therefore they are less La
bic to shy or become frightened. They
are sure-footed to a proverb. The mule
excels the horse and emulates the OK IN
his steady and uniform efforts IN labor.
Il is objected TO mules, that besides their
disagreeable braying they are obstinate
and slow, but these defects, ! believe may
be overcome by gentleness and practice.
The breeding of these animals is a
subject worthy of serious and considerale
reflection Of every farmer. Il is evident
to my mind that mules may be bred with
less care and expense than horses, and
they will command a price nearly equal
to that Of an ordinary horse, while the
demand for them is prompt and eOnlinu-
allV increasing

Valuable FIeeces.

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
sends the following in regard to the value
of Aeeces of wool clipped in Ohio county
Virginia:
"Mr. P. Pearson bought in 1856, six
ty-six Saxon ewes, from a flock that av-
eraged about two and l-3 pounds, wash
ed wool per head these ewes were bred
three years to a Silesian buck, bought of
]. E. Sission. This year, Mr.. p. shear
ed from l75 sheep, /, 2, and years old,
from this cross, 625 pounds of well wash
ed wool, an average of three and six
tenths pounds per head, and sold at go
cents per pound, making 50 II per
fleece, showing an increase Of one and a
fourth pounds by one cross with the Sile-
sian. J. E. Sisson, shared 500 head,
mostly Silesian and crosses, which clipped
LIPS pounds clean wool, being nearly
four pounds per head, and brought 50 IL
per fleece. This flock contains 2 bucks,
80 two year-old wethers, the other breed
ing ewes and yearlIngs. In this flock
are 40 pure Silesians, whose feeces av-
eraged 5 pounds of clean wool. Mr.. S.
raised 206 lambs. His flock numbered
at the last time of shearing twenty sheep
more than at the previous one; the sales
of sheep and wool amounted to s., 200
