There is fashion and sentiment in stock
raising, as in everything else. Ten years
ago it was rare to see a young mule
owing to an absurd sentiment prevailing
that it was mean thing to breed mare to
a jack. But the question of profit has
been considered, this sentimental delicacy
has left, and now it is as common to see
sucking mules as sucking colts. An in
differently grown mule colt at weaving
time in September, has been worth, for
three or four years past, say $50, good
one $50, and an extra one $50 to S65. A
colt of the same age is worth-well he is
worth all he will fetch, but that is not
much, and indeed unless tits colt of extra
ordinary promise, there can be said to be
no price on him, until three or four years
old. Those who raise mules commonly
sell them at weaving time-mule feeders
generally being large stock farmers. They
purchase mostly in the fall, keep over two
and sometimes three winters and sell in
April and May, down along the Mississip-
pi river, between Ohio and New Orleans.
Prices have ranged like everything, high
and low down, say from S125 to $3.50 each.
Mules are generally kept in lots of one
hundred or more in an open field in win
ter, are feed lavishly on shock, corn, sheaf
oats, timothy, and clover and prairie hay,
and have winter pasture to run on. A
mule like diamond, is valuable according
to size, and the aim of the feeders is to gel
it. To this end they have an extensive
reign of meadow in summer, and are grain
fed early and late in the season. Some
times parties keep over "bunch" three
winters, and sell them the spring they are
three years old. But it requires a good
deal of reserve capital to do this, grea
corn and grass fields, and high, strong anC
hard fences. One can well say "hard'' fen
ces, for hundred mules in an open lot, il
cold weather, will eat up every day abou
as much pine board fence as two mer
would be willing to put up. There car
scarcely be finer sight than one hundred
three year old mules just ready for market
Their names and tails have been barbereC
with the greatest care and precision, the,
are as active as thoroughbred colts, as su
pie and playful as kittens, as wild as deer
and as inquisitive and mischievous as mon
keys. Mule feeding is probably the mos
profitable of all branches of stock busi
ness.

Practical suggestions

A correspondent of the New England !
Farmer writes as follows:
Allow me. right here, to make sug-
gestion. In your caution to discounte-
nance all humbugs and impOsitiOns, please
be caucious how you condemn good thing.
Some things recommended by practical
men may appear absurd at first sight, yet
there is truth at the bottom. You refer in
a note to a statement in the Tribune about
putting fresh butter in animals ears, to
take film from the opposite eye, and
characterize it as zone of the barbarous
methods which are sometimes TesOrted to
in the treatment of cattle diseases" /
read the notice 10 the Tribune with much
interest as l happened to know something
of the remedy. I should say myself, con-
sidering the quantity there recommended,
there was little look of barbarism. But
permit me 10 step right iuto the ring and
defend the fresh butter remedy, only in a
milder way. The remedy was used by my
father, as long ago as 1 can remember
Some thirty-fve years ago, the Pet house
dog, Old Prince, the pet of US youngsters,
got his eye hurt in the woods by stick
switching into It. I remember it well, for
was then a lover ofthe dog, as most boys
are, and we feared the old fellow would be
blind. There being no fresh butter in the
house, some cream was put into bottle
and shaken till it produced butter. A
piece twice as large as a narrow-fat pea
was partially melted and put into the ear
opposite the affected eye. In a few days
the film disappeared 20 our great joy
From that time, it became the universal
remedy in that vicinity. I have used it
many times, and it never has failed.
Some few, years since, the eye of colt I
was driving got injured, became infamed.
and finally a film appeared, and was
spreading rapidly over the eyeball. Hap
pening to be in the company Of a veterinary
surgeon, submitted the case to him. He
said it was a serious injury, and he would
take the case in hand for ten dollars. I
did not engage him, but decided to try the
butter. did so, and in few days the
eye was all right, A piece as large as a
walnut is sufficient for an OK or horse. l
do not remember ever being under the ne
cessity of giving the second dose. Judg-
ing from my own experience, it is mild and
sure remedy.

To Prasarva Fruit Trees

For the following, says the Robertson
Register, we are indebted to Rev. VIM.
Crawford and Mr., Samuel Long, Of Robert
son county
If you would preserve and have your
fruit trees bear well, peal the
bark from the tree, during the liz bit Of the
moon, in June, leaving the new sap, or thick
skin-which grows between the bark and
wood. It should not be broke. L can be
easily done by cutting through the bark,
and raising it with the fingers and cutting
around the tree, when the old bark may be
pulled of without breaking. The sap i'm
mediately forms new bark and possess s
the tree of new aud vigorous life.
Mr.. Crawford states that he tried this
experiment on Pear tree, which had
never borne and was decaying. 1t is nov
a fine, healthy tree. and bears excellent
fruit.
