Several years ago we demonstrated
by practical test, says American Cul-
tivator, that rust on celery and on
beans could be checked even after 1t
was well started by a solution Of one
ounce of carbonate of copper in half
pint to pint of liquid ammonia, which
varies in strength so much as sold that
unless surely strong it is better to use
the larger quantity. Add two quarts
of water to this and let the carbonate
dissolve; then dilute to nine gallons
and spray the plants thoroughly about
once in u week or ten days in fair
weather, but repeat If a rain washes it
off. 1t viii not restore the leaves al
ready rusted or the beans that are
spotted, but 1t will prevent the rust or
spot from extending farther.

Digcstibility of skimmiil..

Enormous quantities of skimmi1k
are taken from the creameries of the
country every year and fed with good
results to hogs and young calves,
Among families where only one COW is
kept or where there is tendency to
be economical in saving the cream for
table use or butter making the skim
milk is used for drinking, and many
small children receive large share of
their nourishment in this way. That
skimmilk is nourishing has never been
denied except in a few instances where
ignorance has led to the claim that
separator skimmilk was so poor as to
be unfit for use. 1t is palatable. to
many even more palatable than the
whole milk, and its wholesale use
makes 1t interesting to know IL the re-
moval of the fat from the other con-
stituents causes the latter, especially
the protein, to be any harder to digest
than they are when the whole milk is
consumed. Experiments at the Mary
land station make 1t appear that it does

bers and Values of Farm Animals re-
reals some interesting facts, Of which
probably few have been aware. In it
mules are quoted higher than any 9th
er farm stock, higher even than that
noblest of all domestic animaIs--the
horse.
The figures compiled by the statis-
tician from data furnished by CORE
spondents all over the United States
give the comparative values of stock
graded into four classes--under one
year, between one and two, between
two and three and over three.
In the first three classes, which take
in all under three years old, there are
but four states which count horses
more valuable than mules. But the
bulk of the stock is, of course, over
three years old, and there is not a sin
gle state which does not estimate its
mules of this class as worth more per
head than its horses.
In fact, the total figures for the coun-
try credit the mule as being almost 9
per cent more valuable than the horse,
the general average being for horses
$S7.35 and for mules $05.38. The rela-
tive values of animals under three
years are even further apart, mule
colts being Is and yearlings and two
year-olds IA per cent higher than
horses.
Now, what is the lesson to be gather
ed from these figures? Simply this
there is money for somebody in mules.
A mule can be carried from birth to
market day at 25 per cent less cost than
the horse colt, can be put into market
earlier and find buyer quicker. Ii
you are looking for an article to pro-
duce at profit, don't forget the mule.
Either raise them yourself or buy them
by the inches at weaving time. You
can raise them as cheaply as so many
calves.
The cattle business may be under a
cloud, the horse may have to jump
now may be too high for us to touch,
hogs get cholera, but the mule. bless
his heart, stands ready to help you
out. Don't be afraid to make his ac-
quaintance, to shake hands with him,
as 1t were.
You will never find better friend.
He will make you laugh at his antics
in the pasture, smile at his thrift and
rejoice at the condition of your pocket
book when he leaves you. You know
there is two sided profit to every
thing. The man who makes machine
gets his pay for the making. The man
who purchases expects to see that ma
chine source of profit to him also.
