Quotations of mules and horses range from 80 to s150. A fair saddle horse costs $50 and tip top one from s2O0 up. All the acts of factoring horses are learned under the bridge. Horse traders are gen. erally considered q hard lot, but then it must be considered that this Is a hard world, and any lot Is hard, especially a 1 job lot like horses traders.
 It Is said the devil takes care of his i own. Horse traders somehow seem to thrive which does not prove that they belong to the devil. but merely illustrates that trade is profitable, and that the full dinner pail is not the only pebble on the beach. F. H. M.

 Trade did seem to be duh. Several trad CTS and swappers were loafng around with nothin. to do but flick fly of a wagon wheel with their whips
 At this point little commotion was caused by sone one trying 10 mount an obstreperous mule. The mule backed this way and that, and the traders all gath cred round and whipped the mule as a welcome relief from the monotony of flick ing files.
 Some mules is good an some Is meaner than h--l," said teamster, after which opinion he relapsed, as Grover Cleveland would say, Into innocuous desuetude.

FOWLS AND THEIR FRUIT.

Dry earth is a good material to apply
under the roosts.
The nests should be cleaned regularly
to keep them from vermin.
The food for chicks should be placed on
boards in order that their feeding places
may be kept clean.
Pullets may be kept for laying when
the eggs are sold, but for Matching the
hens should be kept.
One advantage in raising turkeys is
that they can secure good part Of their
food from the fields.
Filth will breed lice, and more fowls
and chicks die from lice than from all
other diseases to which fowls are subject.
Fowls seldom tire Of milk. They may
eat too much grain or meat for their
health, but milk in any form is palatable
and healthy.
1t is not necessary that fowls should
have costly food. In fact highly concen-
trated food is a positive injury. They
should have a certain amount of coarse
food to keep them healthy
The flock of hens kept busy scratching
does not contract the vices peculiar to
those fowls that have nothing to do, and
they keep in good flesh and health. The
clean plumage aud bright red comb indi-
cate that egg foods are unnecessary.-St.
Louis Republic.
