Il can not be hurt very we'll. 1t is
seldom sick. 1t is handy to handle,
and will live upon one-half of what
will support horse.
When horses have been disabled
all over the country by an epidemic,
mules have been as sound as a rock.
One pair of mules will outlast pref
ty nearly two pairs of horses at
steady hard work, and if anybody
thinks differently he can't be well
acquainted with the endurance Of
the mule. ] have been among mules
all my life, and / never saw more
than two mules with a weak con-
stitution. Many people, too, have
an idea that q mule is naturally
vicious. / have never found that
true.
A mule will respond to kindness
about as quick as a horse. The
trouble with mules is that they are
abused, made vicious, by the cruel
ty Of man. / have seen mule
that has been ill-treated by a man
kicking vicionsly at Aim if he at
tempted to go into her stall, while
another man who had treated her
kindly could treat her as he would
"a kitten. If mule is handled
from the very beginning, as colt
ought to be handled, it will be as
gentle as colt that is thus handled
is. The writer in the paper referred
to tells us that mule breeding has
become improbable. That is true
enough. So is horse breeding and
cattle breeding Improbable. But
that is not the fault of the mule,
the horse or the cattle. 1t is the
fault of the unnatural condition of
things. When horse breeding be-
comes profitable, mule breeding will
be. While you can buy a horse for
$40 or $40, it can not be expected
thatrmules will sell like hot cakes.

Classifying Honey.

Better results in every way can
be secured if care is taken to keep
each variety of honey separate as
it is made through the season.
This is readily accomplished with
extracted honey, and, to certain
extent, with comb honey. General
ly, the first surplus honey obtained
is from fruit blossoms. While,
usually, fruit bloom does not afford
much surplus, occasionally it does,
and sometimes quite a quantity is
collected. After this tits often pos
sible to secure a considerable sur
plrs from the different briar bios
SONS, and this is nearly always of
q finer quality than apple and peach
blossoms that follow. The next
surplus of any quantity is white
wood, or poplar blossom. This,
among beekeepers, is considered
the second best flow obtained
through the season, and this, al
though not so clear and beautiful,
is very popular in the market, be-
ing almost as much in demand as
clover honey. White clover fur
nishes the heaviest flow and is con-
sidered the best honey that is col
lected. 1t is certainly the finest
looking. Following clover comes
bass, or linn wood. Generally the
fiow from bass wood is much heavier
andsis, only second to clover inqnal-
ity. Sumach, which follows, gives
a beautiful golden-colored honey,
bat tastes of the shrub it is gather
ed from. One advantage with it is
that it rarely fails to give at least
faig crop. Either when extracted
or sold in the comb care should be
taken not to allow it to remain in
the hives for any considerable time
after it is sealed over, as there is
always the risk of its being soiled.
at least in color, if allowed to re-
main in the hive. Like nearly all
other products, its appearance is al
ways an important factor in selling
to the best advantage. This is
another good reason for keeping
each class separate.

new light that the editor of the pa

FARM Notes.


gtitute for gravel.
The roosts should be low, especial
~ for large heavy fowls.
There is no economy in stinting
the feed Of growing fowls.
Oats are one Of the very best
grains to feed to melting hens.
Fowls that are confined need q
supply Of green food daily now.
Fowls that have the run of the
farm do not need much grain now.
Minorcae, Leghorns and Black
Spanish chickens are valuable for
egg laying.
If the hens have D good range
there will be less trouble from soft
shelled eggs.
In shipping live poultry it is poor
economy TO ship the best with the
poorest. Grade them.
Ducklings thrive best on soft food
and need plenty Of water while eat
ing to help them to swallow.
In nearly all cases improvement
in poultry can be more readily Sc
cured if only one or two breeds are
kept.
The proper age at which to be-
gin to feed the fowls to fatten is just
as soon as they have reached ma
turity.
If rightly cared for, a duck will
weigh pound when six weeks
old, and can be marketed when
eight weeks old.
One advantage in feeding ducks
is their freedom from disease. Aft
er they are ten days old there is
very little risk of loss.
From now on chickens should be
given free range, turned out every
morning and given an opportunity
to make their own living.
Hard food is better than soft d
for poultry, but soft food il S
cellent invigorator. Soft food n.aSes
a good ration TO give first in the
morning.
1t is not always the largest fowl
that is the most vigorous, but the
one with full, high eyes, heavy
bone, compact body and quick
NOV, ment.
Equal parts of bran and corn
meal mixed up with water and
baked and then soaked until soft
in sweet milk is an excellent feed
for young chickens.
Considering their freedom from
disease and their willingness to con-
sumo all kinds of food, geese can
readily be made profitable if kept
in good-sized focks.
1t is well enough to give oily
foods when the hens are in poor
condition or when they are debil-
lated from the attacks of lice, but
care should be taken not TO give too
much.
Fowls are subject to many dis
eases, especially when confined in
close quarters in towns, that do not
break out among them when they
are given unlimited range on che
farm. t.se '.osa'''. ''' Tstf
Beware of overlooking. It is va
riety Of food and shell-producing
materials that will bring the best
results. Never give more than is
eaten up clean; give whole grains

The Curious People OF Iloneo Island.

that part of the Mikado's realm.

A Rabbit Plague in the West.

jack rabbits have become a plague
in the West. The cultivation OF wide
areas OF land has favored their increase
by furnishing unlimited food. Their
depredations in Califol MIA, Colorado.
Idaho and Utah have grown so serious
that the problem of keeping them in
check is regarded with anxiety.
These rabbits are largely used for
food and for sport in the West. In II
fair race they can outstrip all but the
hounds, aud can keep abreast of rail-
way train running at moderate speed
FOR some distance. Large quantities
of the animals Nre shipped to market
every year as game.
In California the most effective
method OF determination thus far tried
Is tho ''drive." An enclosure, open
ut one end. il made of wire netting,
and from the opening of this pen di.
verging wings of wire nets are carried
out in the form of a wide-mothel V,
sometimes for n distance of two or
three miles.
y rabbit drive in Gallo is al.
ways gala day. Excursionists are
attracted in large numbers by special
rates offered by the railways. The
people turn out with sticks and clubs,
and, scattering over great extent OF
country, star, the rabbits and drive
them toward the mouth of the corral.
Every available vehicle is pressed into
service, but the larger part of the
throng Is usually on foot. The lines
gradually close in, and the frightened
Dummies, urged on by blows and
shouts, rush blindly into the opening
between the wings and are gradually
crowded toward the narrow end OF the
pen, where they are soon despatched
with clubs. The number of rabbits
killed varies from q few hundred up
to $1,000, or even 20, 900 in single
day.
The climax of the drive is n painful
scene. Hundreds OF men and boys
rush into the pen; the screeching OF
the rabbits can be heard above every.
thing, and the ground il covered with
dead buunies by the hundred. At the
entrance OF the corral the scene is in.
describably pitiful. To beat the poor
screaming animals to death is short
work, but everybody is glad when it is
over.
In 155 drives in California, from
1875 to 1895, $40, 900 rabbits wert
killed. Similar hunts frequently take
place in Colorado, and the dead rab.
bits are distributed among the poor cl
Denver and Pueblo. They are trans.
ported free Of charge by the railways.
This charitable work was begun about
four years ago. Last season 4jOl
rabbits were distributed in Uenyer
