1t does not cost much to start a
mule ranch. The mares should be
good ones OF desirable conformation,
but neither a stainless pedigree nor
a trotting or pacing inheritance is
necessary; while high class i'm
ported Maltese jack can be purchas-
ed at from $1,000 to $500.
The mule buyer has to exercise
the same keenness of judgment that
is supposed to characterize the horse
buyer. Though a good mule has a
much more faulty conformation than
a good horse, it is necessary, never
theless, to look out for the best ply
sical makeup obtainable. The
back should not be too long, and
the quarters should not be too short.
The cannon bones are sure 10 be
longer than those of good horse,
but al the sa,Re-tiwejt rnust be re-
membered that the shorter they are
the better will the mule be. The
best conformation for the mule is
that which most nearly resembles
that of a good horse. There is an
other important point, however, that
the mule buyer cannot afford to
overlook. The mule should be
stout and heavy in proportion to his
height and length. No good buyer
has any use for a light rangy or
leggy mule. He should be stout
and compact, whether big or little.
Considerable stress is laid on the
color of the mule by the experienced
speculator. Cream color, light gray
mealy bay and meaiy chestnut will
not do; hard red chestnut will do,
but solid deep bay, brown and black
or brown with tan muzzle, are hs
shades most liked, thou9h dark
buckskin or dun with decidedly
black points is not at all objection.
able. While it is not expected that
mule will have a very handsome
head, care should be taken that the
head and ear be not too coarse.
Another, and a very importan,
point in buying mule, il to see
that he has good legs. AS already
stated; his body should be heavy in
proportion to his height, but to safe
ly carry this weight it is absolutely
necessary that the limbs should bs
strong, clean and sinewy. "Weigh'
of bone" below the knee is As i'm
portant for the mule as for the rac'
horse. The mule is very apt I,

tionally good ON fdore than
four-ffths of the animals employed
in it are mules. Another fact which
may not be patent to the casual OBJ
server il that the drayege Of freight
in New Orleans is the fastest in
America. In most of the Northern
cities ponderous Clydesdale and
Percheron horses haul the heaviest
loads, while here the same work is
performed by mules, which, though
nearly ors quite as powerful, are
much larger and more active. A
mule team will walk as rapidly with
loaded wagon or float as team Of
cart horses will with an empty one,
while the former will trot along five
or six miles an hour except when
harnessed to heavy load -
Besides being able TO do heavy
hauling much more rapidly than
heavy horses, mules have great
advantage in soundness, immunity
from disease and longevity.
The demand for mules in New
Orleans is not dependent on the
city market, however. 1t is here
that nearly all the planters of Louis
lana purchase their mules. The
mules offered to planters are divid-
ed into two distinct classes sugar
mules" and "cotton mules"
The sugar planters of Louisiana
are chiefly located on heavy lands,
where deep plowing of stiff soils and
the hauling of heavy loads of cane

constitute the work allotted to the
mule. The sugar mule should
therefore, be a heavy, powerful ami
NAL. He is from fifteen and hall
to sixteen hands high and should
be stoutly and compactly built.
The cotton planters, on the other
hand, require light, active mules
that can get about briskly without
fatiguing themselves. The cotton
mules usually range from fourteen
to fifteen hands high, according to
the character of the soil they are in.
tended to work.
The orange growers of Southern
Louisiana usually buy sugar mules,
as they are for the most part located
on the heavy sugar producing lands
of the State, but the rice planters
though often located ON heavy soils
& fhe,
6lte able t0'do the very shall
low plowing necessary for the cult
vation of rice.
The price Of the cotton mule ran
ges from $125 to $40, and that O
the sugar mule from $175 to 1925.
The most marketable age for a mule
is two years. Planters prefer to
buy them at that age to secure the
longest pos lie period of service,
and as tn Jreeaer of course likes tc
sell the produce of his ranch as ear
ly as possible, the arrangement usu-
ally suits both buyer and seller ad-
mirably.
1t will readily be seen that the
mule production is an exceptionally
profitable industry, and it seems
strange that so few of these useful
and readily marketable creatures
are bred in this State. Some of the
best race horses ever bred in Amer.
lea were produced in Louisiana, and
with cheap, rich land, and climate
particularly advantageous, there ap
pears to be no reason why mule

profitably here as in Kentucky o.

less care, and will thrive on mucl
rougher feeding than colts and fillie
of the most plebeian origin, but a

Mule.

Some or the Good Points About the
Mule.
The best mules raised on this
continent are marketed in New Or
leans. There are many reasons for
this, but the simplest and most i'm
portant of these is that New Orleans
will pay more for good mule than
any city in the Union that is locat-
ed in reasonable distance of the
mule raising sections of the United
States. AS the business of the city
is now carried on, the mule is an
important factor in nearly every
branch of trade. He hauls nearly
everything, from a milk cart to a
cotton float, from beer jumper to
"a street car.

Got His Man.

Pierce Wore arrived last evening
about o'clock in charge of George
Williams, who was locked up in Jail
to await a hearing On the charge Of
horse stealing. AS heretofore stated
Wore left here last Sunday night in
pursuit OF Williams who, it was sup
posed, was on his way to Idaho with
a fine horse belonging to II. II. Harris.
Wore went to Mountain City where
he got man named Walker to ac-
company him. They arrived at the
Duck Valley Reservation early We'd
nesday morning and stopped for
breakfast. They had been there
about an hour AMI half when their
man rode in to have a shoe put on
his horse, one having been lost since
leaving Elko. After the shoe was re-
placed and paid for Williams went
out of the shop, followed by his pur-
suers. After getting outside he said:
"Well, suppose you are after me for
horse stealing" Wore told him he was
correct, and having disarmed his
prisoner he brought him and the
horse back to Elko where he arrived
last evening as before stated.
