The Color Of Mules.

In long exhaustive article on the
mule" which it puts in the form of
a review of book on that animal
published by q Philadelphia house,
tho writer says ~ ,. d,
"Color has much to with the value
OF a mule, The deepest colored of
any color are generally the best. The
white mule is the least hardy, though
an iron gray is almost invariably a
serviceabie. animal. Cream mules,
with hair, name and tail ali of the
same color, are frail but those with
black name and tail, striped legs, and
a black stripe across the shoulders and
the back are more hardy and more
apt to resemble the jack than mare.
Pfntos, or spotted mules, arc the least
valuable of their race
With regard to the practice of using
almost anything, whether it is easier
for the animal or otherwise, to attach
it to the load, the same writer gives
these sensible directions: ...t.a
"Work animals should have every
portion of the harness fitting comfort
ably. The bride and throat-latch
should neither be too short nor too
tight, for one will ruin the mouth and
head, and the other the mind. The
collar should be just long enough to
enable the driver to pass his open
hand easily through between it and
the wind-pipe; and if itpinches at all
should be put in water over night
and few moments wearing the next
morning will give it the exect shape
of the neck. Dry, hard leather col.
ars should never DC scraped, but wash
ed, thoroughly, in warm soapsuds and
then oiled" --.s

Summer Clothing.

For all persons, especially ilvalids,
and those who take cold easily, thin
material Of wooden gauzc, next the
skin, is safest and best, because H.
First, it is nOn-conductor, carries
heat from the body more slowly than
cotton, linen, or silk; all colds are
caused by the body becoming colder
than natural, especially If it is made
colder rapidly, and wooden material
next the skin is the best thing known
to prevent this rapid cooling, especi-
ally after exercise which has caused
Precipitation, and does not cause that
disagreeable sepulchral dampness
which wet linen does when il comes
in contact with the skin.
The warmer the weather the more
the need for wooden next the skin !;
hence British sailors are required to
wear wooden next the skin, i'm trOpi-
cal ATTITUDES, in summer, as the best
observed protection against disease.
All garments worn next the skin
during the day should be removed at
night and spread out for thorough air.

,. Cotton is the best material 10 be
worn next the skin at night. All
changes from heavier to a lighter

by putting'on the lighter clothing at
the first dressing in the morning.
1t is greatly safer for children, for
invalids, and for old persons, to have
too much clothing than too little.

What Effect has the Noon Upon the
Time OF Planting, Growth, and Yield
or Vegetables? 80

From the Southern Planter and Farmer.
Mr.. EDITOR A phenomenon to me
has. presented itself in my crop of
Early Rose potatoes, which perhaps
some of your correspondents can ex-
plain. They were planted OH the same
piece of ground, and from the same
seed, but at different times. The first
parcel being planted some ten days or
two weeks before the last. The
ground for both being prepared in the
same manner with lime and manure.
NV gardener, a skillful and expert
enced Scotchman, after taking from
the two parcels, separately, some
thirty or forty bushels, reports that
those last planted yielded double the
quantity Ct those first planted, and
they were, besides, larger md better
grown. He is at loss to know why
this great difference in the yield and
size of the tuber. But have another
man in my employ, who is Observant
and intelligent, and all his lif, farm
or; he says the difference is due 10 the
fact that the first planting was OH the
wrong time of the mOon-when it was
on its increase; the last crop planted
when the moon was OH the wane, in
the dark Of the moon. From what
cause so ever, the difference of pro-
duct certainly makes the true solution

swelled in the crops. Just before
