MULES FOR FARMING.
Continuous Work seems To lie "A Daily

Continuous Work Seems To lie "A Daily
Advantage To Them.
There ~ much unnecessary prejudice
against the mule. Ii exists among
those people who have had little or no
experience with this creature. He is
not an extravagant eater, in the first
place. His preference Is rather for the
cheaper proyender and n very moderate
quantity of corn and oats. He is built
for work, in that his looks do not sug-
gest any aristocratic tendencies. Under
sensible handling he is trained TO work
i'm much less time than the average
horse.
He has n "mind OF his own" and will
not always hurry on short notice; but
he Is willing TO plod along steadily early
and late, and thus accomplishes more
i'm day of heavy WORK chan the average
horse team. No animal endurep
drudgery so we'll. Continuous work
seems to be a daily advantage. When
worked steadily n mule team is very re-
lialfle in every essential requirement.
A "level head" and more than 'horse
sense" Is characteristic OF this faithful
brute. With many years experience
with them on farm the writer would
prefer that on "A farm of n quarter sec
ton or more that three-fourths of the
teams should be mules.

We may be sure that the mules win

generation of horses may do.
It's worth thinking about seriously.

potato, these branches will be cut off,
and the strength Of the eye diminished
more or less. The proper way TO cut
the tubers for seed is - cut them
srosswise of the tuber, as indicated by
the dotted lines, beginning with the
one near the stem-end, and going
around with the spiral produced by the
eyes. This will leave the eye and its con-
nection whole from the surface to cen
ter of the tuber, and il will be in the
best condition to germinate and grow.
1t is not settled yet whether IL Is best
TO plant the tip or the seed end, or not.
In practice do not do il, as there are
30 many eyes together there that they
interfere with each other, and, except
with new and very highly priced
seed, / clip the seed end squarely off
and throw IL away.

during the season.
/ have tried this plan, with varying
success, but n better way with me has
been to prepare the ground in the best
fl,.ar "a
as usual. In few days n light harrow
Is run over the land, and this is re-
peated about the time the potatoes are
ready 10 come through the ground.
After this the mulch of straw is put on,
and the only after-work IS to pull out
the weeds that come through a small
task IL the land has had proper Gull
tivation during previous years. One
of the best and largest crops ever grew
was grown by this method.
In whatever manner potatoes are
planted, they must have thorough cul-
tivation, deep for the early part of the
season, and shallow after the roots be-
gin to run across the rows, for there
Is not q crop that is injured more by
having the roots torn off by cultivation

roots have plenty of room and plenty
of food the crop cannot be good one.

At the station IL was found that al

dry seasons--lilxe 1s95--it may yield
more hay than clover; that in normal
seasons il sometimes yields less than
clover; that but two cuttings of alfalfa
may be expected the same season with
