Strong Points Of the Mule.

The extensive purchases of mules
which the British government has
been making recently for shipment to
South Africa invite reference to the
animals capabilities and disposition.
says the London Live Stock Journal.
Here it is from the hand of Il man who,
appears to have had large o%pportuni-
ties Of c%ultivating its acquaintance:
mo animal is less obstinate than Il
mule. They are most tractable and
obedient and capable of an almost in
credible amount of work. \. mule be-
gins work at 4 years old and goes on
till 40 or 45 years old. Whether it is for
plowing. reaping Or moving machine.
for carting of all descriptions. there is
the shapely. powerful. active and in
telligent animal. prepared to do his
best" In Dpiut of fact. the mule is
like any other animal. much what the
Een,lrncss Oh reverse of his rearer and
breaker makes him.

Timely Consideration OF Lnnd. Tu.

Timely Consideration of Land. Fu>
turc Crops. Etc.
The season is near 1T hand when
farmers should prepare for the next
seasons crop. They should know their
land and what kind of crops it will pro-
duce to the greatest perfection. y good
and successful farmer will have his
plans all made and will have decided
what he will SOW or plant in the differ
ent fields. then when spring il
he finds his plans cannot be followed
he will change them to suit the season.
If the season is too late to SOW wheat,
he will be prepared to put some other
crop III its place. and the same with
other crops.
There is always ample time to SOW or
plant all Of our land to some kind OF
crop. We may not always he able to
plant the crop we wanted. hut there is
always something else that can be
planted later and mature in IL shorter
season.
In this climate the season is over
three months long in which some kind
Of paying crop may be planted. Wheat
may be planted from March 10 to April
/, then to the 10Th of April for oats.
from May ! to June l for corn. then to
June Is for cane for hay and millet to
July Is. There is plenty Of time to got
all of the land planted. Bottom land in
this country Il always be farmed. but
no always just when one wants to
farm it. Sometimes it is wet until it is
too late to plant the crop that was in
tended. That being the case. the next
best crop must be planted.
During the winter is a good time to
prepare seed for spring sowing and
planting. Seed wheat and oats should
be cleaned with a tanning mill to re,
move all foul seed and to separate all
other grains from it. The seed corn
may be selected and shelled if there is
a good place to store it until needed.
The tools and machinery should be
looked over and needed repairs made.
The harness must be repaired and
creased. Tie colts must be broken
and trained to work. and toward spring
the work horses must have special care
to get them in readiness for the spring
work.
When plans such as these are made
and carried out and farming is done in
a systematic way. there is both pleas.
ure and profit in farming. y farmer
should always be so he can push his
work and not let his work push him,
says an Iowa correspondent Of The
Prairie Farmer.
