The last year has brought The mule
into greater prominence than IL has
ever before oceupi,. in this country.
II is true that in some sections, nota-
bly, the cotton states, the mule has
been the great reliance for all kinds
Of farm work, and he and the negro
we're responsible for about all the work
done on southern farms and planta-
tiCDs.
But the great impetus giyer to mule
breeding was the war in South AfI:-
ca. 1t is a rugged country. very dry,
ard horses could not withstand its
peculiar climate. Here tie mule
proved its great value, and soon the
horse was discarded from the ambu-
lance, commisGary and ammunition
trains, and the mule took its place.
They were found to be much superior
TO the horse in the peculiar conditions
eatailed by active campaigning in a
dsy, mountainous country, where for
age is very scarce, and highways are
unknown. Here the peculiar capabill-
ties of the mule had ample room to
show themselves, and the result was so
greatly in his favor, as compared with
the horse, that it may be regarded
practically settled, that he will be-
come fixture in modern armies, and
as essential as arms or AMMUNITION.
The result has been a wonderful in
crease in the demand for mules, and a
corresponding expansion in breeding
and raising them. The general farm
e:s, who stopped breeding horses some
years ago, as they could buy horses
cheaper than they could raise them,
are beginning to use mules on the
tarm, and find they are great workers,
more easily cared for than horses, and
much freer from disease.
The sales of mules at the Chicago
stock yards the last year have been
surprisingly large. Only a few years
tgo a mule sent there for sale was
RAJ ity. New there are consisnments
Gdered every week. and from 200 to
500 are frequently on sale at once. They
range in size from 800 to 1900 pounds.
The former are denominatel cotton
mules, as they are largely taken by
southern formers for plantation work,
and the heavy ones for truck purposes.
In the latter line of work they are
displaoing ordinary truck horses, and
are being used more largely from year
to year. This may be regarded as the
mule age.-Michigan Farmer.

GULF STREAM MARKS.
fts Course Through the Ocean Indicated
In Many Mnys.

fte Course Through the Ocean Indicated
In Many ways.
The color of the stream Is a per-
ceptibly deeper blue than that Of the
nelghboring sea, this blueness forming
one of the standard references of the
nautical novelists. The depth of col
or is due to the high percentage of salt
contained, as compared with the cold
green water of higher ATTITUDES, obser-
walton having shown that the more
salt held in solution by sea water the
more intensely blue is its color. Thus
even in extratropical latitudcs we
sometimes observe water of beauti-
ful blue color, as for instance, in the
Mediterranean and in other nearly
land-locked basins, where the lufiux
Of fresher water being more or less
lmpeded, the percentage of salt con-
tanned is raised by evaporation above
the average.
Another important fact In conncc-
ton with the stream is It's almost trop-
ical temperature, due TO the fact that
It's high velocity enables II to reach the
middle latitudss with very little loss
of heat. Upon entering its limits, the
temperature of the sea water frequent
ly shows a rise of 10 degrees and even
10 degrees. 1t was this feet that gave
to the stream in the later years of the
18th century and the earlier years of
the 10Th an importance IN the minds of
navigatcrs that It no longer possesses.
In those days the chronometer, invent
ed by Harrison in 1865, was still an ex-
pertinent. instruments were crude
and nautical tables often at fault. The
result WAS that the determination OF
the longitude was largely matter of
guesswork, vessel after voyage
from the channel to America often be-
ing ont of her reckoning by degrees in
stead of by minutes. The idea, first
suggested by Benjamin Franklin, that
the master of vessel, by observing
the temperature Of the surface water,
could tell the moment of his entry in
To the gulf stream, and could hence
fix his position to within few miles,
was hailed with delight. The method
was published in 1893 by Jonathan
Williams in work lengthily entitled
"Thermometrical Navigation, being a
series of experiments and obserN atoms
tending TO prove that by ascertaining
the relative heat of the sea water from
time to time, the passage of ship
through the gulf stream, ana from
deep water into soundings. may be dis
covered in time to avoid danger" In
this work he makes the patriotic COM
parson of the gulf stream to streak
