time to break the recruit mule" and
when they get to work they show
wonderful endurance. They also eat
less than the horse. and can go longer
without water. The army mules daily
ration consists of nine pounds of grain
and IA pounds of hay. The fearful noise
made by the mule, which comes in
somewhere between a donkey's bray

which was captured from the Spanish
government on board the ship Cath

been placed our u. S." and a "U''
on the hind quarter, which is the initial
of the Spanish quartermaster who pur-
chased the mules in Texas for the
