All bulls On a farm should be de-

should be disarmed.

try can compete with the cheap labor
of oriental countries in the produce
ton of rice has been definitely set
tied in the affirmative.
Prosperity that doesn't include
the men upon whom all real prosper

1t costs more than a dollar to
feed a rooster a year; therefore it is
false economy to keep of them
than n actually necessary for actual
service. These fellows should be sold
when they weigh about two pounds,
or eaten at the family dinner.

but thinks that all beyond his short

the weather for their lack of success.

RAISING LIVE STOCK.
Farmers Can Make More Money
Raising Hogs and Cattle Than
in Growing Cotton.

Another rise in the price of meats
of all kinds should stir up the farm
ers of the south to the great impor-
lance of increasing their hogs and
cattle. Three dollars can be made
in growing these where one can be
even hoped for in growing cotton.
The time and labor and care required
to raise and market a bale of cotton
will raise a three-year-old beef that
will sell for 500, and leave three
times the net profit hat the cotton
will. This attention will be scattered
over three years, but it will not take
more hours Or days than it does for
the single year in growing the cot
ton. The labor is much less and
much more pleasant. The same time,
labor and money it will take to raise
tel bales of cotton will be sufficient
for 20 cattle or 100 hogs. The
cotton about pays back the cost, pos.
sibly a very small profit. The cattle
will have a clear profit of about one
thousand dollars. We find a great
many farmers who will admit the
u VI lilo tSAllildits DuI VIII III
that they cannot begin it at once,
because they have no ready money,
or are in debt, and must plant some
cotton to make some money to get
out of debt with. This is poor reason
ing. Growing the cotton has brought
them in debt, and the longer they
continue the same programme the
deeper in debt they will find them
selves.
The sensible course to pursue in
such cases would be to change the
programme as o o as possible. We
are constantly receiving letters from
men who say they never made any
clear money farming until they be-
4 gan raising live stock of some kind.
Some have tried mich cows,s some beef
cattle, some hogs, some sheep and
goats, and some have found money
in chickens and bees-anything that
grows and multiplies. The lesson is
a plain one. Something to eat is the
first consideration. The population

PLANTER.
RAISE YOUR OWN MULES.
Farmers should Raise Their own
Motive Power as IA simple Mat
ter of Economy. p

One great expense on the farm is
the motive power. Coed work can
not be done without we have suff-
Gent power. Light horse or mules
can only dc light work. To de- yoDl
blowing requires strcng, heavy stock
to pull the plows. For this reason
we are always glad TO see good,
strong teams. But these cost good
round sums of money. When brought
for cash, good mules are high, but
when bought on true they are much
higher. In almost every community
there are men who make large money
every year simply by the difference
between the cash and the time prices
on mules. They buy them and sell
to the farmers on time, and then
take the farmers notes on the banks
and place them as collateral and get
the money and pay for the mules,
and have a handsome profit left.
All this comes directly out of the
farmers pocket, and often makes a
big hole in his yearly profits. This
is simply bad financiering. The
farmers notes get the money. Why
did they not get it for themselves
and save heavy time per cent? This
per cent. is hardly ever less than
twenty-five and is often nearer fifty.
How can this be avoided? Very
easily. Our farmers should raise
their own mules. 1t will be some
trouble and some expense, but it will
pay to have a little trouble and ex-
pense when we can save so much by
it. A mule colt can be raised for
about twenty-five dollars at two
years old. This mule would cost on
the market, at time prices, from one
hundred to one hundred and twenty
five dollars. From two to three years
he will pay his expenses. At three
he will be worth one hundred and
fifty dollars. 1t is a perfectly safe
estimate to say hat good mules can
be raised to three years old for fifty
dollars, and that they will her be
worth over one hundred dollars.
Here is a business that will pay one
hundred per cent.
This is worth going into as a sep
urdtc DuSi1eSS. Mule farms would
pay. The mule finds his most con-
genial surroundings in the south.
The climate and the food suit him.
Here he would reach his highest de-
velopment. By getting good jacks
and ~jennets, and good-blooded mares
to breed from, we can raise as fine
mules in the cotton-growing states
as anywhere in the world. There is
no line of business that offers larger
and surer profits.
The largest mule markets in the
world are in the south. st. Louis,
Mo-, is the largest, and Atlanta. Ga,
the second largest mule markets in
the world. Over fifty thousand
mules are annually sold in Atlanta.
About five million dollars. a year for
mules that we could just easily grow
for ourselves. This immense leak
will not be stopped by conventions
and resolutions. Each farmer must
do his part by beginning to raise his
home supply of mules.-Southern Gull

POULTRY EXPERIENCES,
"1cui With Farm POULTRY and
suggestions MS to How to
Overcome Them.

Poultry experiences are always
read with interest as a rule. Those
OF the writer have been varied, and
extend over a period of twenty-seven
years, and in that time many ups
and downs have been known. Wehave
always believed in high bred stock of
all kinds, but have made some costly
experiments on account of listening
to the vauntings of interested par
ties. In poultry, especially, we have
toInd the Leghorns so small that
when we put them on the marketthey
brought such a small amount of cash
that we were ashamed of them. A
farmer doe not buy implements with
an eye to what they will bring as
scrap iron when worn ont, nor should
a dairyman buy or raise cows with
an eye to their beef-making qualities
when too old to be profitable as milk.
ers. But, as a rule, a hen can not be
Kept over two years. Consequently
she is soon on the market; besides
there are always many cockerels
among the pullets, which must be
disposed of in some way. On this ac-
count we jumped to the other ex-
IRENE and tried Plymouth Rocks, but
soon found that they were too clum-
sy; that they fell an easy prey to
hawks and vermin. Net being able
to lind just what we wanted among
the various breeds on the market, we
concluded to get up one of our own.
And we feel that we have succeeded,
to some extent at least. One difficult
t.y with farm poultry is that they lay
well when eggs are low, and go on a
strike when they are high. Another
trouble is the inclination to set. We
overcome n of these difficulties
with the other. In summer, after the
spring broods are weancd. we crafty
every hen that wants to set, but give
her only two or three eggs-at most
half a dozen. Eggs are very low
with us then-sometimes only four
cents. BY this means we keep the
hens from laying, thereby resting
their organs preparatory for winter
production. AS each hen has only a
few chicks, she is able TO find nearly
enough for them on the wide range
they have, thereby requiring but a
small mount of feed. Truly the late
hroilers bring no more per pound
than grown hens, but they are fine
on our table; we have no trouble
cisposing of the surplus, and the
profit on them is very satisfactory,
as they cease to develop when cold
weather sets in and will "'eat their
heads off" long before spring. While
these mothers are raising these late
broods they moult, get n new set of
feathers, and are laying we'll again
