SHyrct Potatoes.

When we consider that tho average
value Of an acre of cotton is Sl5, corn
80, wheat $l2 and sweet potatoes $50,
is it not time that more Of the latter
are planted? asks an Alabama CORE
spondent of Southern Cultivator He
says:
And us it costs more than twice as
much TO cultivate an acre in cotton than
it does an acre i'll potatoes we feel GER
tain that good deal of land that is
planted in the former should be planted
i'll the latter
AS to quality for the table, taking 10
as IL maximum, the Bunch yam, or Vine
less the Sugar and Tennessee stand s. .,
the Georgia yam S, the old fashioned
white or yellow yam 3. 8 and the yellow
and big stem Jersey 3, the lowest of any
of about 30 varieties tested. That pota-
toes that are best for the table are best
for stock goes without saying, yet there
arc farmers who plant inferior kinds for
stock, thinking that they will do just
as well. This is great mistake for
hogs will fatten faster ON first class
sweet potato than on one of inferior
quality. Mover plant different kinds so
near each other that their vines will
touch, for they will mix to the injury
of one kind and may ruin both Get

will find sweet potatoes one Of the most
profitable crops that you can raise.

MULES THAT PAY.
a Tennessee Mule Breeder Explains How
Desirable Sound Colts Are Bred.


In report of tho bureau of animal
Industry appears chapter on mules by
Mr.. j. l.. Jones, u successful mule breed
er of Tennessee. Tho following is IN
abstract from Mr.. Jones' paper:
There are two classes of the mule-
VIZ, one the product of tho malo ass or
jack and the marc and the other tho Off
spring of the stallion and female ass or
jennet. The cross between tho lack and
the mare is properly called tho mule,
whilo the other, tho product of tho stall
lion and jennet, is designated a hinlly.
The mule is the moro valuable animal
Of the two
The mule partakes of the several char
acteristics of both its parents, having
the head, ear, foot and bono of tho lack,
whilo i'll height and body it follows the
marc. 1t has the voice of neither, but is
between the two, and more nearly re-
sembles the jack, and the vigor, strength
and courage of the horse 1t is easily
kept, very hardy, and no path is too
preclpltous or mountain trail too diff
cult for ono Of them with it's burden
The mulo enjoys comparative immunity
from disease and lives to q comparative
great age.
AS mule resembles very largely in
its body and shape its mother, 1t is nee
essary that care should DO taken in Sc
Letting tho dam, for q good, growing,
sound colt must have good, sound sire
and dam. The jack may be ever so
good The result will be disappoint-
ment unless the mare is good, sound
and properly built for breeding. First
she should be sound and good color.
Tho marc should be we'll bred-that is,
she should give better results by having
some good crosses. BY all means let her
have cross of thoroughbred, say one
quarter, supplemented with strong
crosses of some of the larger breeds, and
the balance of the breeding may be made
up of the better class of the native
stock. The mare should have good
length, large, well rounded barrel, good
head. long neck, good, broad fiat bone,
broad chest, wide between the hips and
good style.
