Well Erred Mules.

Are the best shaped mules raised in
Missouri or Kentucky? To this question
American Agriculturalist replies: I'm
doubtedly Kentucky carries off the palm
in this respect, Us tho breeding of mules
has been long conducted there. There
are many intelligent mule breeders in
Missouri, but the Kentucky stock has
the general preference. Kentucky mules,
upon on average, are worth $40 per
head moro than tho Missouri mules,
from the fact that they arc better
bred. There IL more thoroughbred
blood diffused among the horse stock
generally of Kentucky and Tennessee
than in any other states in tho Union,
thus giving better class OF mares to
breed from than can DO found outside Of
these two states. On tho other hand the
blood Of the Clyde and Percheron mixed
with the coarse Canadian is the founda-
ton Of a large number of the brood
mares in the northwest. They produce
large, coarse, sluggish mules, not to DO
compared to tho somewhat smaller, but
clean limbed, active, high spirited mule.
out of well bred Kentucky mares. No
animal shows the effects OF good breed
ing more readily or to greater advantage
than mule.

Stays and srorss.s-

Tho Spectator. after quoting Profee-
sor Roy's assertion that the desire for
waist belts is instructive, and has been
displayed by all athletes and persons
OF whom exertion is required since the
beginning of history. adds: 1T will
be observed that this argument, which
is certainly true of all runners. Asiatic
or European, applies to men equally
with women, though men grid them
selves only TO meet special calls upon
their strength. To this a graduate
from Cambridge. where he was dis
tinguished as a runner and long dis
lance bicycle rider. protests that
neither runnerS.nor experts upon the
wheel, at that university. ever used or
showed n desire to use tight waist
belts. On the contrary, il was their
custom TO grid themselves as loosely
as possible, in order to allow free
movement of the diaphragm. II
rOwcrs ever wear waist belts. thew
arc SO loose as to cause no inter
ference with the freest movements of
all the muscles Of the body. Ii is pro-
bablc that the habit Of "girling up the
loins" preparatory to physical exer-
ton originated in Oriental countries.
where in ancient times, and now as
we'll, the peculiar form of the prevail
ing costume made il necessary in or
der to secure free movement of the
limbs. A custom once established,
needs no further explanation. Itmay
survive long after there is any reason
for it. The Hittites wore peaked toed,
turned up shoes thousands Of years af
ter their ancestors had come from the
mountains of the north, where the
form of their snow shoes suggested the
peculiar fashion; and the daily life of
every people is full of instances that
might be cited. Nobody today places
restraint upon any of his organs if he
desires to excel in feats of strength or
speed. He may wear waist belt, but
it is never so tight, Us has already been
remarked as to rowcrs, as to Interfere

of more than 800 select apartment
houses, each having q distinct and
more or less fashionable name. As
these flats range III value from 5000,
900 to $1,000, 900. fair idea may be
gained Of tho enormous amount of
money invested i'll this style of dwell
ing house which is now going out of
fashion.
OF course most flats arc worth moro
than 100000. 1t was for this price

To Prevent u Calf from Sucking.

Tho most effectual way to break calf
from sucking her dam, says Dixie
Farmer, is to separate the calf entirely
from tho dam, but If this is not practical
bic or desirable make muzzlc for the
calf as follows: Insert long, sharp, fiat
headed spikes in a piece of harness
leather two inches wide and long enough
to go round the muzzle of tho calf.
Stitch or tack another piece of leather to
the back of tho first SO as TO held the
spikes in position. Stitch into circular
shape, and attach to the calf's nose by
means of n hcadstall. The spikes should
DO about two inches apart and three
inches long, and would be better if made
of steel, which may DO dono by any
blacksmith.

agricultural departments and experiment
stations is the promotion Of agriculture
by such scientific Investigations and
careful experiments as farmers cannot
make for themselves, and which require
the skill OF trained specialists. At tho

every state, analyses of commercial
fertilizers are made, as well as expert
mcnts with growing crops and best
everything pertaining to the SUCCESS of
agriculture is considered and reported on.

The Dalles, the coming season,
should surprise the whole country.
This city has more natural resources
than any other on the Columbia, and,
If proper enterprise was exhibited,
should show greater growth than
any town in Oregon. A beef packing
establishment should be started here
with the opening of the season, and
this should give employment to two or
three hundred people. This is the
best point in tie Inland Empire for
such an enterprise, and if it be
put in operation it would be means
of increasing our wealth two-fold.
Aside from this a woolen factory,
and other manufacturing industries
could be operated with great bene-
fit to the business of the community
We hope some of the wealth which
has been made in this city for the last
quarter of century will be expended
during the coming year in placing in
ooeration some OF the most desirable
factors for our development. The
Dalles has the best prospects of any
town in the northwest, and if we do
not lead any other city east of the
Cascades the fault lies at our own door.
