Mules against Horses.

have for the past four years been more
and more convinced that the mule is by far
the more profitable animal to raise or keen
for work. The following is comparative
statement of the cost of raising, value of ami
mails, and comparative profit on raising the
mule and horse. Mules got by imported or
half breed jacks will mature for work or mark
ct at two years old, the horse from four to FIVE
years old. The average working life Of
mule is say twenty years old-instances are
known OF their living to eighty years, and it
IS not unusual to see animals Of thirty and
1nrty-fve years OF age at work regularly
lhe average working life of the horse is say
hlhe years; many horses i am aware work
more years, but l think it is, generally conce.
ded that the average will not exceed that
time. The risk OF raising mule colt is much
less than the horse, because of their more
hardy nature, disease being almost unknown
among them. To obtain the cost of the two
animals when fit for service or sale, we will
assume the cost of stallion and Jack at the
same price, say twenty dollars The first year
the cost Of either colt is but little--say ten
dollars. The second year the cost of the mule
colt and horse colt will be the same, although
mule as general thing does not eat but
two'thlrds as much as horse; it being NOR
forward at two years old we place it at the
same cost. AT this time we sell the mule sac
ut $500. The third and fourth year we saw
the horse colt costs but $25 to raise, and is
then sold at $500, which is good average
The cost of the two animals appears as fol.
lows: Mule--cost of colt, 20; expense Of
keeping two years, $35; interest on cost and
keeping at per cent, SO; making total Of
S5S cost, which deduct from its sale and add
interest on money for the two years to bring
it to date of sale of borse-$l6 S4-sl5S 81
net profit on mule to date of sale of horse
Now the cost of horse colt 500; expense Of
keeping two years. $35; Interest on costof keep
ing 3; expense of keeping two years more,
$50 interest on keeping 81 So making total
Tof $ll2 So, which deduct from amount re.
ceived for horse, leaves profit on raising mule
Sl5S 81 profit on raising horse, $S7 50; ex-
cess of profit in raising mules over horses.
$7l 34 or almost as much as is realized for,
raising horse. s.
This amount seems large, but when com.
pared with the actual profit to the user Of the
animal it is small The working. life of
horse being 10 years and the mule 20, one
mule will last as long as two horses. There.
fore to do two hundred dollars worth of mule
work, it requires Si444 44-IOOths, besides in
terest on the capital I assume both mule
and horse to be useless at the end of twenty
years, which Is not actually SO, butnear enough
to show the comparison The saving of hay
and grain was fed the two animals by the ar
my, being one-third less for the, mule than the
horse, amounts--hay calculated at $40 ton
and corn at 81 bushel--to $50 81 year

The CORN GRuB,--The corn crop has many
formidable enemies to contend with, and
among them is what is commonly called the
grub, which frequently damages the crop Sc
riously. One of the best and most judicious
remedies, perhaps the very best ever sugges-
ted, is the application of salt as soon as the
plant makes it appearance above ground
Take one part common salt, with three parts
plaster or gypsum, and apply about table
spoonful around each HILL and it will be found
to be q sure protection. The mixture should
not come in contact with the sprouts as it
may destroy them. This method has been
tried over and over again by some of the best
farmers of Pennsylvania, Delaawre and New
Jersey, and when properly applied, has never
failed to be perfectly successful We hope
our farmers, who have reason to fear for the
depredations of the grub this season, will try
this mixture, leaving few alternate rows Of
corn without salt, and communicate to us the
result We are aware some writers say that
salt has no effect upon vermin, but we speak
in this matter on the best authority

Vainly lifted up its voice.

Boundless love to you and me,
Sinks oppression, with its titles,

A remedy possessing the virtues Of Constitution
Water cannot be classed under 'quack' prepara-
tions, as it is now used by the most scientific
practitioners in this city, 1t is only second class
physicians that cry down popular remedies, while
the better skilled make use Of every means to &C.
complish cure; and the success Of the ply sicians
increases u his knowledge Of different remedies
enable him to produce q cure, while others fail in
the attempt. Science is satisfied with the truth.
Give Constitution Water fair trial-we mean
YOU who are under some speci0list's care from
year to year, and We particularly allnde to ladies
who are constantly resorting to local Treatment,
and all sorts OF local applications for diseases,
with SO much chance Of success as there would be
from local applications to the throat for diseases
of brain. We have been careful to use language
in our circular that could not shock the most del
icate organization, but we receive SO many com
municatons from persons for which Constitution
Water is adapted, and OF whose disease no men
ticn has been made, that we have come to the
conclusion that if the remedy is capable o. pro-
ducng cure, no matter what the disease may be,
il should be made known. The medicine Is put
up for the public, and there should be no excep-
tons We say, Constitution Water is not like Z
gilded pill, made to suit the eye and taste; r.
medicine, in every sense Of the term placed In
the hands Of the people for their rel,ei, ana u
taken according to the directions it will IN every
case produce a radical cure. We would say that
the directions In regard to Diet etc. relate only to
the disease under which they occur
