of a poorer quality than the horse. They
are almost invaluable for army use. /
learn the manner of breaking them is as
follows: Half dozen men take four
green mules, halter, bride, harness them
and hitch them into heavy four horse
wagon without much ceremony. They kick
and founce, but it does not better the mat
ter. One man always rides on the near
mule of the hinder pair, and when break
ing them, usually one man to each pair
then after claiming both hind wheels of
the wagon, they start them off, and have
all they want to do to manage them.

cile, and after few days hard practice in
the drill they are considered broken, and
are put into service. They are harpessed
and driven the same as horses, except on
the government teams, where the driver,
instead of sitting on the wagon, sits on
the near mule of the hind pair, and drives
each pair with one line.
"They are not so stubborn and wilful
as I supposed, before seeing them work.
Indeed, / think, when rightly used, they
are quite as easily managed as the horse.
They are all shod. They can be taught
to hold, down hill, as we'll as horses
but holding back, in this country, is usu-
ally done, especially on heavy loads, by
claiming the wheel, or by using brake
The government wagons drawn by the
mules are provided with chains attached
to the side of the wagon, for claiming the
wheels.
"These mules are abused by hard work
and hard fare, but they perform vas
deal of labor. Indeed, Uncle Sam coulc
hardly get along without them, with Sc
much work to do as he has now"
Having said enough to set your agricul
tural patrons to reasoning upon the sub
ject, assert the same law that produces
the hardy mule, will produce correspond

HORSE BREEDING.-THE MULE.

Mr., EDIToR:-Anything in regard to
breeding stock, is always in season. The
general principles are the same, in sue
.cessfully breeding any species of animals.
The leading desire seems to be for large
animals Nature provides that the size of
animals is in some proportion to the
amount of food provided. The animals of
the tropics are larger than in the temper
ate zones, and the cattle in Kentucky lar
ger than those in the French country, in
Canada,-horses in the cities, larger than
those in the country. Plenty of good food
is essential but food alone cannot always
bring size, and SO it i the custom for some
enterprising person, to import specimens
of larger growth to cross with native
breeds, and the result is often discourag-
ing, from the fact that the physiological
law is disregarded, that the male should
not be disproporttonaly larger than The
female. The offspring of an injudicious
cross will lack vitality, and be more liable
to disease and premature death.
During the first stages of its growth, it
requires more hourishment than can be
afforded by the dam, and as it approach
es maturity we see it is narrow chested and
lacks muscle and endurance. Strong lungs
are essential to an animal that must en-.
dure fatigue, and these are obtained by
crossing small male with large female.
The cross Of the horse with the donkey il
worthless, and seldom practiced. but The
Jack with the mare, produces the mule
which for enduranc has no equal, and j.
farmers in Vermont, could be persuaded t
raise and use mules, we think it woulc
advance their pecuniary interests. Upor
this subject we subjoin the following com
munication from A. W. Howard, now il
the United States service: l
suppose you will be surprised whel
/ tell you that an average mule is wortl
more than an average horse. The pric
ranges according to quality, from seventy
five dollars to one hundred and twenty
five, and some even higher than that. 4
pair Of mules will do moro work, last long
Ter, bear harder usage, require less food an,

ment. This Guard is composed of details
from the following regiments the first
brigade is composed of the 15lst Penn,
the 39th, l25th, l26th and ll1th New
York; the second brigade is composed of
the 18th. 18th, l4th. 18th and 10th Vt.
This Guard went into camp by itself on
the 9Th of Nov. 1862, and commenced its
duties on the 9TH of the same month,
where it has been ever since, So you see
we have pretty good time of it. We
have now for commissioned officers only a
Major who is from the 10Th VT regiment; /;
also lst Lieut.. J. G. Blanchard from the
same regiment. The regiment to which L
belong is now encamped near Wolf Run
Shoals, which is the 18th Vt. (or sneak
ing 18th as they call it.)
We have had but little warm weather
since the last Of December, and we look
forward for spring to open, with all the
expectations that our army which has so
long been inactive will soon be on the
move. Let me now say something res.
pecting the negroes. Negroes around here
are scared to death if they hear of any
thing like cavalry raid. They are very
social people, with only Is or 20 in one
little hut. and have always been well
treated whenever. I have gone to guard
them or come in contact with them
Christmas is their particular time of ju5i
lee, and they have week or more Christ
mas. During one of these Christmas
dances where one of our Guard was sta
toned during the time, a negro woman
fell down stairs and broke her neck
"Only one more niger gone, boys" said
one of the old negroes, "go on" and the
fiddling never stopped. The negroes art
not lacking in wit, nor are they altogether
ignorant of this war. They appreciate
kindness and they also know how to keeI
school, If your schoolmasters wish tc
see the practical part, rather than thu
theory of teaching the "young ideas how
to sho9t,' let them study the school-roou
in all its different colors, but especially
that color which partakes of the natur,
of charcoal
