MULES FOR FARM WORK

A correspondent Of the % American
Farm journal" thus strongly states
the superiority of mules over horses for
farm work in the South The subject
is worthy the attention of Northern
farmers:
Mules on an average are more val
liable than horses, are more easily raised,
are not so subject to disease, are not
likely to run away in wagoning and
blowing, are longer lived, will do more
work and require less feed and attention :;
they are stronger, will draw Il heavier
load, and stand great deal more hard
ships, and are in every way preferable
to the horse for general farm use
Mules come in earlier, being ready for
light work when three years old They
will then do enough work on the farm
to pay for feed; after having attained
the age of four years they are ready for
any kind Of service.
But the horse (colt) must be kept
until he is four years old before he is
worked at all, and when he is four he
must be a tirstrate colt to bring as much
as the mule will at two years old But
assume the animals are both required
for farm work. see what difference
there is in favor of the mule. The
working life of the mule can be safely
estimated at thirty years, and that of
the horse at ten years. So while a
mule is working its life out, three horses
will be required to do equal service
But these are not the only items The
saving of feed is at least one-fourth, or
not less than 64I bushels of corn, and
427 tons of hay These amounts, add
ed to the original saving in purchase of
animals, show an advantage in favor of
the use of the mule over the horse Of
81 900 during the ordinary life of the
animals. The mule is less dainty about
food, unground grain and dry feed being
Just the thing for him.

How LONG TO MILK A Cow-There
seems to be a prevalent idea that it is
not profitable to milk COW more than
eight or nine months, and most dairy
men dry off their cows early and let
them 90 dry three or four months. Is
this the best practice?
We think not A COW is kept, princi-
pallv, for the value of her milk She
should therefore be bred for holding out
her milk as long as she can, with good
feeding, with due regard for health and
stamina. 1t has been proved in the
case of thousands of cows, that have
lived to good Old age, that they can be
bred to give milk ten months in the year,
bear a good, healthy and strong calf, and
be ready for as good milking season
the next year We should seek for
such cows and discard those that per
sist in drying early, even if they do
give good mess for short season
We have had cows that never gave
over thirty pounds per day, and still
gave 1000 pounds more milk in sea
son than others that would give forty
pounds per day in the flush. The effort
should be made with the heifer to keep
her in milk as long as possible and
cultivate this habit of holding out.

A FEW WORDS ON GRAPE
CULTURE

\ correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph writes as follows The
combined effect of the severity of last
winter and the backward spring was to
kill outright great many vines and to
weaken many more, so that they are
worse than useless and had much better
be thrown out; for with the best nurs
ing they never will amount to anything
but nuisance The fruit as general
thing was not of good quality, from the
fact that the sugar was not well-devel-
oped, while the acid was in excess.
The varieties principally grown in
this vicinity (keuka lake. are Catawba,
Concord, Delaware and Isabella. The
Iona was extensively planted i'll the
palmy days of its glory, but it proved
in most places failure, though here
and there vine, and in few instances
a little patch, has done very we'll; but
nobody wants to plant any more of them
especially for incyard-cnlture. So
of the Walter: it was planted here and
a good many sold at high prices, but
they are also played out, and plants
could not be given away now. The Eu-
melan has not done much better, and
though it has proved harder it is not
reliable as a bearer. from the fact that
the clusters are apt to be thin from
imperfect qualification of the blossoms.
A few Salems are grown, but they do
not pay sufficiently to encourage their
extensive planting for market. So of
Rogers, Hybrids few are grown,
but not to any great extent for market.
People have had about enough OF eX-
pertinent in fancy kinds, so that they
will be chary of anything in that line
for some time to come; but in so doing
they may pass really valuable varieties.
There will be many vines planted next
Spring, but almost entirely of the three
kinds first mentioned.
Experience has shown that not all
the land that is not good for anything
else is good for grapes. At first it was
supposed that any poor slde-hlits, II
only dry, would grow good grapes, but
costly experience has exploded that
folly; and on the other hand, men have
learned that rich, very strong deep soils
will not answer for a permanent vine
yard, though they may do well for a few
years with some varieties; but as they
get old and strong, and their roots deep
in the cool, moist soil, they fail to ripen
fruit or wood, and some varieties will
rot badly under such circumstances.
The soil that proves itself best adapted
TO grape-culture here is a GRANELLY
LOAN WITH AN ADVENTURE OF CLAY
sufficient to give it a good degree of
frmness. and it must be naturally or
artifcallv well-drained

JUDGE NOT TOO HARSHLY.

When YOU meet with one suspected
OF some secret deed of shame,
And for this by all rejected,
As thing of evil fame,
Guard thine every look and action,
Speak no word of heartless blame ;
For the slanderer's vile detraction
Yet may soil thy goodly name.
When YOU meet with one pursuing
WAYS the lost have entered in,
Working out his own undoing
With his recklessness and sin,
Think, if placed in his condition,
Would kind word be in vain?
Or look of cold suspicion
Win thee back to truth again.
There are spots that bear no flowers,
Not because the soil is bad,
But the Summers genial showers
Never make their bosom glad.
Better have an act that S kindly
Treated sometimes with disdain,
Than by Judging others bindly
Doom the innocent to pain.
The cruel and the bitter word
That wounded as it fell
That chilling want of sympathy
We feel, but never tell;
The hard repulse that chills the heart,
Whose hopes are bounding high,
In an unfading record kept,
These things shall never die.

PROTECTION BY PRAYER.

\ little girl, about five years old,
lived with her parents, who were very
poor, in small cottage in village of
Prussia One day when her father
was out, little Rosa was sitting by her
mother, who was just recovering from
an attack of fever, which had weak
cned her very much. She was singing a
little HYMN. when the door opened sud
denly, and six soldiers walked into the
room The poor child was so terrified
at first that she fell from the bench on
which she had been sitting. \ few
moments afterwarG, however, she rose
to her knees, and in her own simple,
childlike words, while the big tears
trembled in her eyes, she prayed that
God would pity them and help them
that He would make the soldiers kind
to her mother, and tell them to go
away to some other house where they
might get something to eat and drink.
and ending with these words: For
Thou knowest, Lord, that we are very
poor"
One of the soldiers patted the child's
head kindly. and said, Who taught
you to pray so nicely little one?''
Jesus and MOTHER" was her simple
reply.
The soldier, a tall, strong, rough
looking man, turned aside his head, and
brushed a tear from his cheek; then.
putting a piece of money in her lap, he
kissed the little girl, and said to her
kindly. There is something for your
mother, my child. Pray for US soldiers
sometimes, Ike good little girl, for
We need prayer very much.
\ few moments later. little Rosa,
who had rushed to close the door after
the soldiers, was clasped in her mothers
arms. And how gladly that mother
thanked the Lord, who had so kindly
protected them from harm and danger,
in answer to the prayer of her child.
