Mules Sell Better Than Horses.

For mules there is always demand,
and, independent of his service on the
farm, large. well-trained, gentle mule
would always demand good price,
and could at any moment be converted
into cash. A mule is about the only
product of the farm for which dealers
will seek, and every good mule would
command its market value on the spot
where it Is grown. We rarely hear of
a native-raised horse that can be sold
for more than two hundred dollars.
and then only TO some one who hap
pens to fancy him; but to good mules
there is fixed market value. Two
hundred and fifty dollars is no unusual
price paid for fine mule, and in the
cities of the West six hundred and even
eight hundred dollars are paid for .

WOOL COMsING.
Improvements In Machinery for Reducing
Wool Fiber.

wool ffofrs
Every improvement in machinery
for reducing or preparing fiber adds
to the profits of the producer, because
it cheapens manufacture, allowing the
dollar to exert greater purchasing
capacity than before. The growth of
improvement, however, is slow. Wool
combing, for instance, is one of the
most ancient of industries. and vet I'M
til within recent times the combs, fire.
pan, etc, were crude and stationary,
until in 1890 Cartwright succeeded in
constructing q practical machine for
the combing of wool, which, however,
was deficient in many respects.
The Textile M1nnf act0reT gives q
succinct account of the various i'm
provements since that time, which.
condensed, shows that Hawksley, of
Nottingham, made a considerable adj
vance upon Cartwright's machine. and
this was followed at an interval of
thirty-five years by the more successful
attempts of Plat and Collier. These
were again distanced in 1912 and 1874
BY the further advances made BY Dom
isthorpe. Ii is, however. to Josue
Heilman, the inventor of the combing
machine known by his name, that the
trade is most indebted for the success
made in mechanical wool combing.
The principle of this machine, which
has been further developed and i'm
proved upon by Messrs. Lister and
Donisthorpe and others. rendered me
chsnical combing such a success that
the old system rapidly disappeared be-
fore il. and the hand comber i'm the
wool industry has now become as
nearly extinct as the hand-loom weaver
in the cotton trade.
These several defects have now been
remedied in the following ways: BY
the introduction of a new motion for
driving the dabbling brushes. from
which both dabbling brushes are driven
by one strap. alternate action being Sc
cured by the cranks being set at half
centers. This perfectly effects the end
in view so far a. that point is con-
cerned. Another advantage is also
gained by the dabbling brushes start
ing to operate at full speed before the
comb circles are on the move. which
never allows the silver OF fiber TO pass
the center where the two combs come
together before it is properly dabbed
into the pins of the two circular combs,
and as they descend upon and are lifted
FROM the teeth of the revolving combs
more quickly than heretofore, they are
less exposed TO wear from the action of
the revolving combs than formerly
