Mule Trade.

There has been a sensational expan-
sion In the volume Of exports Of Ameri-
can mules. For January, 1900, there
were exported |, 759 mules, against 53S
head In January last year. The ex-
port Of mules for the seven months
ended January, 1900, comprises q total
of 22,264 head. against 1884 mules for
the corresponding period in 1898, the
former valued at S1,947,214 and the
latter at $431;372. Evidently the wars
are OF advantage to the horse and the
mule growers, and the end of the wars
will not end all, because the whole
horse and mule supply is reaching q
low point, and IT will take 4 number Of
years to catch up with the demand

MIX For Lambs.

MIX For Lambs.
There is a considerable difference
between the milks Of various animals.
remarks The Sheep Breeder. This We
ries from 2 to Is per cent. The COW
gives the poorest quality of milk of any
milking animal, the average quality
being under 4 per cent. The whale
gives the richest, its milk having as
much as IS per cent fat. The milk Of
the elephant comes next, that Of the
goat next with s or 1ONper.cent Of fat,
and the sleeps milk has an average Of
6 per cent. Thus In the choice Of a
COW as foster mother for the lambs
which for various reasons may need
her services q Guernsey cow Is to be
chosen, her milk having an average Of
over 5 per cent Of fat in it. But lambs
may be reared successfully, although
they will not get so fat, on the milk Of
any ordinary cow of the pure Jersey
breed or crossbred. The thing, how,
ever, to consider is how to ave the
lambs and not, as yet how to make
them fat. When full growth is wanted,
the early and regular feeding of a ra-
ton OF bran, cornmeal and c~ottonseed
meal finely ground together in equal
proportions and fed in a trough kept
in a creep to which they ear gain ac-
cess while the ewes cannot, with the
continuance Of the fresh milk to the
abandoned lambs, will bring them up
successfully. It is easy to rear such
lambs in this way to a weight of so
pounds alive when 80 days old and add
three-quarters Of a pound a day live
weight after that until they are fit for
market. There Is no boom in sheep.
The vast increase in value Of locks is
the legitimate and unavoidable result
Of natural causes and hence must be
permanent. The rapid growth of pop
ulation and still more the increased ia
vor for good mutton as a staple food
find room for fully 30 per cent increase
In the production Of mutton, and as
this needs time there is an absolute
certainty the present satisfactory con.
dition of the markets for both mutton
and wool must continue, and 1t may
even improve. And we may easily be.
lieye that as sheep increase the grow.
ing demand will keep even pace. with
the growing focks.

In fact we have been slated for some
time by our friends, and only "a the
interest of harmony were we finally in
duced to accept.
We first met the companion Of our
joys nearly twelve years ago when we
were classmates at the Griffin school
house, westof town. We were mem
bers of the same class that graduated
from the high school in '96, and in
many ways our lot has been cast to-
gether in pleasant places. Lillian is
the only daughter Of ex-Mayor Hodges,
our popular shoe merchant, and has
lived here since a mere child. During
the past four years she has been teach.
ing school, and has given very good
satisfaction. The writer is the name
sake of his father, who lives west of
the city, and for the past two and one
half years has been connected with the
Leader.
We are now comfortably located in
the rooms over the Leader Office where
we will be pleased to meet III friends
after August 10th. Our wife chow

rather be (W)right than be presi-
