MULE BREEDING.

4 successful breeder of mules says
elf you select this branch of stock farm
ing as your business in life, you must
attach the greatest importance to right
start. Therefore when you go into the
mule business let your first investment
of capital be in knowledge, and lex
cuse the monotony) second in 'knowl-
EDGE. and the third in more knowledge.
| should never purchase jack less than
fifteen hands high. Have no juggling
with such blauketed phrases as Jack
measure, tape measure, 'hip measure
and lots of others that secure the du-
cats of the deceivable, but fifteen hands
bioh at the withcrs under the standard.
The Maltese JACK has the best speed,
action and spirit of all, and has the
fashionable color, but IS too small. The
Mammoth has the size and color, but Is
foo slow and actionless. We believe
the best jacks to be the Catalonian jacks
of Spain and the Potion jacks of France.
They have been bred for black color,
good action and sound feet. The size
of the foal is generally most influenced
by the male. The shape Of the foal Is
generally influenced by the female
Therefore, if we are purchasing mares
ana can select the types we desire, let
US keep in mind the type OF mule we
desire to raise. So let US look first for
our type. If we take almost any ten sue
cessful Southern farmers into mule pen,
nine of them, at least, will hunt around
until they find mule about fifteen hands
high, with heavy body, straight back,
short fore.leg especially below the
knees; in other words, 'pony-built'
mule. Then we may take this as the
desirable type of mule in the South for
we are raising mules to sell and not for
mark ornaments. Then let US select this
type of mare, aud let US get her from
among the grade draft breeds. "-H.

A CEMENT DECORATION FOR GOWNS.

A CEMENT DbCOkAIiON fO' "O"NS'
The latest novelty for wOmens gowns
is plastic cement which is to be used for
ornamentatiou. The cement is put Oh
the gowns with a stencil, in any pattern
desired. Embroidery can be counter
feited so cleyerly that the cement will be
mistaken for the genuine article. 1t Is
possible by this process, which is, by the
way, the invention o. an American, to
reproduce tapestries, passcmenteric AMI,
in fact. any decoration desired in any ono
or a dozen lines.
The cement is put on in very thin lay
crs. and after it has dried and become
woven into the fabric cannot be told
from hand.woven oiG6mentatlon. toE
light textile fabrics, gauzes and netting
the cement is of great value, anil some
of the specimens Of the work shown u'
are marvelously attractive.
The new process has a great deal to
recommend it to women as an ornament
of dress aud for household decoration.
1t does not iniurc the mlteriil upon
which it is used; it eau bc removed OF
changed at will, aud it is cheap. Its use
will enable woman to change the pat
tern of dress as many times as she iaos,
nd at very small cost.
A dress ornamental with real orna
mentation would cost several hundred
dollars, whereas the cost Of gown done
in plastic cement will not exceed SO.
From $40 to $50 will be the tariff for
the work when it becomes better known.
Competent operators are now engaged
in experimenting with the cement and
cutting the stencils, which will make it
possible to reproduce the most difficult
of embroideres AMI tapcstrlc'.-S,.

vegetables. But those with little flesh
on their bones eat steaks, roast beef and
other meats. Actresses who wish to keep

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

After the eighth year the milk yield
of COW rapidly decreases in flow.
Even a pair of old boots will be
found serviceable at the roots Of a grape
vine.
Plants feed from the air by means of
their leaves, and from the soil by means
of their roots.
String beans are a summer crop and
NAV be had ia succession by making sew
eral paintings.
It is not a good plan to hatch out tur-
KEYS late in the season; it costs too much
to winter them.
The style of hen-house is not so i'm
portant as to have plenty Of sunlight
and dry floor, aud with all cracks and
crevices closed.
A fence two feet high is sufficient for
all of the larger breeds of ducks, aud
house 1Ox2O feet is big enough for
twenty-five ducks.
If provided with a comfortable shelter
ducks will begin laying in February, aud
keep it up regularly until September.
They are better for eggs than hens.
Whitewash on the farm buildings will
make even rundown farm appear
attractive. One barrel of lime will
brighten up the entire iarm-buildings,
fences and trees.
In order to lessen the number of iu-
sects next season make it {; point to rake
up all fallen fruits, as they will make ex-
cellcnt food for the pigs if cooked. 1t
is in the fallen apples, peaches and
pears that many Of the insects. are bred.
ANY cultivation which dsturbs the fine
roots of growing plants is an injury
Deep cultivation, therefore, after the
roots have spreal through the soil should
be avoided. This applies to everything
YOU grow. Clean, shallow culture and
plenty of it should be the rule.
A new strain of dahlias, originated in
England, is known as the Tom Thumb.
The Florists Eccbangs says of them that
the plants are of very dwar fish habit,
and are from nine TO twelve inches in
heigl., compact aud bushy, and produce
their single flowers freely. Twelve dis
tinct colors have already been "ixed."
Poultry houses intended for winter use
should be built during the summer. If
built later in the season they are liable
TO be damp in the winter unless the ium-
Der has been we'll seasoned. Experience
has demonstrated that roup ia the winter
season is often due to the poultry house
being new and damp, owing to the lum-
Der being green.

Tho Horse I'm Bod.

)ne OF the best-known society women
Of Philadelphia spends the spring
mnths st her country place, a few
m es ont of the city. This lady, who
my be called Mrs. Stellcart, although
tht is not her name, went out there
VIII her family q few weeks ago. Soon
a'er opening the country house her
hsband arrived from the West, where
h had been on business, bringing with
bm magnificent Kentucky saddle
hrse, which lie gave to his daughter
Leanor for a birthday present. Not
log a:terward tie gentleman was again
clled away from this part OF tho coun-
ty, and that same afternoon his wife
cscharged the coachman for being i'm
udent. When evening came on Mrs.
aellcart was in 4 quandary. She knew
bat the horse had to be taken care Of
ID she didn't know exactly how to do
!, so she said to her daughter:
Eleanor, we've got to put Toag to
cd. l recollect hearing your father
ell John to be very careful to bed him
Town nicely, so we must d. as well as
we can"
They went to the stable and took
from the carriage house the cushion OF
n wagon seat and a couple Of horse
blankets. Then they repaired to the
stall in which the Kentucky saddle
horse wa, rapidly growing hungry,
likewise weary. Mrs. Stellcart and
Eleanor placed the cushion where they
the horse would use it for a
pillow, and managed to arrange one OF
the blankets to serve in lieu Of mat
tress. They then tried to coax Tong to
lie down, in order that they might
throw the othe' blanket over him and
tuck it in nicely about his heels. But,
for some unaccountable reason, Toag
would not lie down. They tried to
coax him and throw him off his feet, but
the greatly astonished horse at last pro-
Ie,ted so strongly that the ladies gaya
up their work.
Their house is situated half mile
rom any other. and they did not know
what to do. But at last bright idea
struck Eleanor, and she with her
mother hurried to the front gate and
stayed there until two men passed by.
These were called; the situation was
explained to them. They didn't under
stand it at first, but Mrs. SteIlcart
inally burst into fears and begged them
% ccne in and put the horse to bed.
The men willingly walked to the stable
md looked at the stall for a moment.
Then they leaned against the wall and
aughed until they were nearly ex-
lausted. Toag went to bed as usual
hat night, but lie didn't sleep on the
cushion of wagon seat and covered
With blankets.

wo men have made it point to walk
,ast Mrs. Stellcarts residence, stopping |

cuLrrvArINa nucKLEBERRlEs.

Many people have filled in their at
tempts TO cultivate hirkleberries. The
California Fruit Grocer says there is but
one way to grow this fruit successfully.
The bushes will not grow satisfactorily,
if at all, when given clean cultivation.
The roots require shade aud the plants
should be set close together and cut
down low at first, so that the branches
will spread out and shaGe the roots. In
addition to this, mulching OF leaves,
such as they are accustomed to in the
woods, should be given. They will al
ways grow better in partially shaded
places than in the open field.

COWS were dehorned in the evening Just
before milking. There was marked
difference in the behavior OF the differ
ent COWS, some of them being scarcely
effected. while with others the effect was
decided. With all the cows that fell oil
either in yield or quality, there was at
the next mornings milking an improve
,nent, this being more marked in the per
cent. of fat than in the yield of milk. In
some cases this was sufficient to entirely
obscure the immediate effect.
The milk yield Of other COWS in the
stable was diminished almost as much on
the evening that the dehorning was done
as was that of the dehOrned cows
