We are Of opinion that mule breed.
ing has been too much neglected in the
south and perhaps elsewhere. The
mule is really the most useful draft
animal on the farm and by far tha
most economical. For real rough farm
work mules are better than horses
They are not quite so speedy as horses,
but there is much plowing on every
farm that cannot be done both rapidly
and well, and for steady pulling at &
uniform speed the mule has no equal,
They are harder and more easily kept
and more cheaply fed than horses, and
when grown for market they are al
ways ready sale at higher prices than
farm horses. Large mares and well
bred jacks are needed to produce mules

SHEEP IN COW PASTURE.
They VIII Thrive on Herbnge That
Cattle VIII Not Touch.

While Professor Shaw says that
from 10 TO 20 sheep could very well be
kept on every hundred acres on the
farm without costing the owner any
thing for food in winter, we will go
further than that and say that we
think from two to six could be kept for
every cow that Is turned to pasture
and that on most farms that we have
seen the cows would find more feed as
a result They eat many plants which
the COW does not eat, and many OF
croach upon the pasture unless they
are kept down by hand labor or other
means than the grazing of the cow.
That they enrich the land over which
they roam Is too well known to require
any argument. The proverb that "the
hoof of the sheep is golden" Is centu-
ries old and is too evidently an allu-
sion to their ability to improve the
soil they travel over to need an ex-
PLANTATION. Cows have no objection to
feeding over the droppings Of the
sheep. They are so fine and so scatter
ed and so quickly lose their odor that
the growth which is produced by this
fertillzing element is more liable to be
eaten too closely than to be neglected.
When they have been together
short time, they will be found to keep
very closely together, the sheep learn
ing to look to the cows as their natural
protectors and the cows as ready to do
battle for them as for their calves. We
would not take n pasture suitable for
60 sheep and add 10 cows to 1t, for
they would find short picking, but the
pasture that would feed 10 cows must
have been exceptionally well kept from
weeds and bushes If there would not
be feed enough left that the cows had
rejected to feed from 80 to 60 sheep
all the pasturage they would need.

RIVAL TO SILKEN FANS.

A man without sense of romance

cal hand fan and sets it up as a rival
of the toy gauze and lace which has

told ages. His fan buzzes and is not

erlille arrangement. A ratchet and
two small cog wheels at the end OF
the arms transmit this force to the
blades of the fan, which are miniature
electric fan blades. Both of these are
easily carried when not in use.
The inventor says that he has dis
posed of 1000 of his hand fans in a
few months. He isn't sanguine of its
general adoption by the gentler sex
but he thinks that lots of men would
use it in hot weather. Sentiment

TRAGEDY BETWEEN STATIONS
How the sInnEy Conductor Got the
Double Cross" Where He
Thought lie Was "soIid."

The train had just left the station.
Station is better word than daypo,
because there is no dispute about the
pronunciation Of it.
But this is a depression, says the fun
NY man of the Chicago Tribune.
The conductor, having worked the
smoking car, entered the next car, car
rying his conductor face with him.
A depression seems necessary here,
for the conductor face, which is one of
the oldest of the faces, has not received
the attention it deserves. 1t is face
that conveys an impression of high
personal and official responsibility, to-
gether with certain coldness, reserve
and no-you-don't-ness the whole tenn
9ered by sort of impersonal dignity,
as becomes the representative of vast
corporation indispensable to the pub
lie welfare. But it seems to have es-
capped classification hitherto, as face.
Carrying this face with him, then,
not as mask, but rather as an exter-
nal phase properly belonging to his
job, the conductor entered the car.
