Profit in Raising Mules.

The great demand for mules during
the last two years has been brought
about largely by the extensive use in
our own srmv in the West Indies and
the Philippines and alse the unprece-
dented demand by the British army
in South Africa. Good mules 10
hands high usually sell for $125. and
. pair frequently bring from $500
to $50. Smaller animals do not sell
for a. mach, but as they are easily
produced, are profitable if they can
be cold for so or 80. The mule is
particularly adapted to use in tine
army and iS becoming recognized
more and more A. an important factor
in American agricultural states Of the
middle, west and northwest.
Nulss are particularly valuable
from the fact that they are more
hardy and will stand more abuse than
any other draft Snimal. They eat
less and respond more readily to good
feed than horses They are excellent
pullers and are alwa,s ready to move
very quickly with a load. OF conrAe
in rongh countries they are much
better adapted to hauling loads over
hills and in such regions are used al
most exclusively.

CENTURY's MIGRATION.
Greatest Exodus Europe Ever
knew or is Ever Likely
to Know.

The greatest migration that history
has recorded is that of the European
races during the century now closing.
Up to 1920 only about 100000 for
eigners moved to this country, which
has many fold surpassed all the rest
of America in accessions TO its popu-
lation through immigration; but be-
tween 1920 and 1882 more than H.
100000 Europeans LETT their homes
for America and other parts of the
new werld.
The high tide OF the European exo-
dus was reached in 1882. when the
United LtAtes alone received 100000
immigrants. The two next greatest
years in this movement Of population
we're 1883 and 1892, in which two
years his country saw 1,l40,000 Eu-
ropeans enter it's ports. Between 1882
and 1893 the European outpouring
to various parts of the world was ever
100000 souls. Then followed = de-
cline in the volume Of migration, this
country receiving only a little over
300 600 immigrants in 1894 and 20C,-
600 in 1897, while arrivals in other
regions, notably in Brazil and Argen-
tina, about held their own or increas-
ed. In the six years ending with 1898
about 3,OO0,0 900 Europeans sailed for
foreign lAnds. The most trustworthy
data attainable justify the statement
that during the century Europe has
