FEEDING AND SELLING MULES.
How They Should Be Dealt With to
Get the Best Results.


The southerner requires fat mules.
the fatter the better. Flesh catches
the planters eye. Sleek-coated ami
mails are also In demand. In size, the
cotton mule ranges from the 14-hand
donkey to the 15.2-hand farm mule.
Mare mules are given the preference
in the south, but north. east or west
this is not 80. The wise feeder will
keep these facts in view when buying
young or work mules. The rough,
leggy animal should be avoided. Such
are mean feeders and seldom fatten.
This Is also true OF colts. 1t Is posi-
BILE, says Orange Judd Farmer, to tell
with reasonable certainty which colts
will feed out well and which will not.
The colt that keeps nearly fat on ordi-
nary feed and with ordinary care can
be depended on, while the one that Is
stuhted, rough and thin Is a doubtful
feeder. Some OF our feeders raise
their own stock mules, buying colts
and yearlings, then pasturing or feed
ing them very much as cattle are fed.
Feeding usually begins In early fall
and continues until the end of the
year. Many carloads of two-year-old
mules 60 south.
The feeding Is best done In sheds
equipped for that purpose. In most
sections. at least five kinds OF feed
can be had. Corn Is the principal fat
tening element, but bran and shelled
oats act as loosening agent and pro-
duce a good coat. Such feeds should
be given in the proportion OF one part
bran or oats to three or four parts
corn. Soy beans are promising mule
feed, being the equal Of linseed meal.
In rearing and fattening mules, the
shearing should be attended to often.
The name falls over badly when al
lowed to get too long, and 1t Is prac-
tically impossible to make good trim
later. When receiving mule that has
been shod, remove the shoes. especial
ly those on the hind feet, the first
thing. Mules will kick each other,
but II there are no shoes, no harm is
done.
Work as many as possible, IL only
a time or two. Many consider mule
broken that has had only one or two
lessons in the wagon or plow. Mules
should be kept, during the fattening
period, confined to the shed. Good
bedding is very essential to producing
a fine finish. The above Is written
with special reference to cotton mules.
but applies equally well to other de-
mands. Most all the cotton mules
from Kentucky are sold through the
Atlantic gateway. The market opens
in the late fall or early winter and
closes in early spring.

THE GREGORY DINNER

"Good-by."
Mrs. Walton hurriedly attended to
her household affairs, and went on
to the club to play golf. At five
O'Clock, when she returned, with just
time enough to dress, she was met by
the maid, who said:
"Mr. Walton tiliphoned out, ma'am,

THE STORY.

GA MOTHER burial" Moses muttered
IA to himself, sadly, as he saw the
solemn procession passing on towards
! the outer borders of the camp. Sure
ly the word of the Lord is being full
filed, and the graves of the children
of Israel are filling the wilderness.pN
The aged leader turned and let his
eyes follow the somber little group
meditatively. There was the shroud-
covered form lying so cold and still
on the stretcher borne between the
four, behind whom came the mourn
ers, their heads covered and their
garments rent in token of their grief.
1t was but one of many such scenes
which had marked the wilderness
journey during the many years they
had been shut in there.
"Yea, the word of the Lord is being
fulfilled. It cannot be long ere we
shall enter the land of which God
hath spoken"
"Know you who 1t Is who Is being
borne yonder to his grave?" ques-
toned Caleb, who stood near.
mo, dost thou?" rejoined Moses.
"Yea, he was one of the most aged
men of my tribe" replied Caleb
land his death is another victory Of
faith"
"How so? Tell me-" said Moses,
with an eagerness which showed that
the smallest incident in the life Of
his people was of the greatest inter-
est to him.
"You remember how when we faced
that dreadful crisis so many years
ago, and I had all but persuaded the
people Of my tribe to stand with me
and encouraged the people to go for
ward, when this man whose burial
IL but now taking place, interposed
and turned the sentiment against me.
He was a man of much influence In
the tribe. and of strong, dominating
will, and he challenged my appeal, and

SERMON ETTE.

sERMoNETTE.
Paul .seizes upon this dark
chapter In tho history Of the
Hebrew people to point warm
Ing and make an appeal to the
children Of God to-day.
All left Egypt for Canaan, but
all did not reach the rest and
blessing of that promised land.
Why7
Because Of the awful sin Of un-
belief, the one certain barrier to
the realization of the promised
blessing Of God.
Holding up this striking ex-
ample Of what the sin Of unbe-
lief can forfeit to the soul OF
man, Paul appeals to the Chris
tian to "fear, lest, a promise be-
ing left US of entering into his
rest, any Of you should seem to
come short Of II. Let us
labor, therefore, to enter into
that rest, lest any man fall after
the same example of unbelief."
The unbelief which drove the
children Of Israel back into the
wilderness was tho unbelief OF
a settled purpose, for had 1t not
been so, they would have lis
tened to the last appeal Of Caleb
and Joshua.
So II Is ever with the human
soul. Where unbeIief has been
allowed to set and harden, like
the cement block, there Is MOTH
ing which can soften II and
bring II back to the plastic state
again.. No, II cannot be soft
ened, but some day Gods judy
mont will fall and grind the
hardened heart of unbeIief to
powder. Contemplate this, o
soul. ListenI To-day, II ye
/ will hear his voice, harden not
your hearts,"
There is wilderness in every
life where graves must be made
, and the sins Of unbelief buried
out of sight, before the soul can
come into the blessed privilege
of the Promised Land.
Forty years, a year for day!
A pretty heavy penalty to pay,
and yet Is not that the ratio
which sin often exacts Of the
soul? On every hand we see
, the marks of sin which will be
carried down to the very grave.
After all the graves in the will
! derness were the only bright
places there, for they spoke of
buried unbelief, and Of the GER
tainty that the Promised Land
! lay just beyond its borders.
I Graves are to put dead things
In. An unbeIieving heart Is a
} dead heart, and were better bur-
led. Yea, bury II, though II be
I with tears, and then turn and
let God give you new heart In
which burns living hope. Then
tears will be turned to sunshine
I and gladness, and the wilderness
will be suddenly transformed
into the land flowing with milk
and honey.

ORIGIN OF THOROUGHBRED.
Can Be Traced Back to Arabian, Turk
or Barb Stock.

The American thoroughbred Is de-
sLended from the English thorough
bred, and the latter Is made up by
blood almost wholly from Arabian,
Turk or Barb stock. The English
stud book for thoroughbreds is not
open to any horse that has had an out
cross of common blood during the
past hundred years or more, and 1t
Is doubtful If one having an out-cross
$50 years back would be recorded. A
reference to the lists of horses in Eng
llsh racing stables at the time the
thoroughbred was brought to the front
will show that the originators de-
pended almost entirely on the horses
brought from the orient, and of the
three general classes mentioned.
The Americans have greatly i'm
proved on the original thoroughbreds
by selecting and to some extent by
crossing with Arabian horses Of fine
type. This practice has not been
common of late years, for our breed
ers have formed the opinion that they
can do little more for the breed by
importing Arabian horses. BY selec-
ton, the quality of the thoroughbred
is now so high that 1t is believed that
In bringing in more foreign blood,
even of the Arabian breeds, there Is
danger of deteriorating It,
The American trotting horse was
developed from the thoroughbred, or
rather as a strain of the thoroughbred.
Constant selection has made this
horse the most important of the thor.
oughbreds, not only for races, but also
for the saddle and carriage.

BUILDING a Breed.

The usual method Of starting q
breed of live stock is to select two
or more unusually good animals from
a group that has been developed in
certain direction by means of better
food, better environment and careful
selection from greater number. No
breed Is ever started II the animals
that can be used are not better than
the same breed Of animals in another
locality. At the beginning this work
is carried on by d few men, some
times by one. In-breeding has to be
practiced for generations till certain
characteristics are fixed In the anil
mails. The in-breeding IL intensified
by constantly eliminating those AMI
mails not of the desired type.

he kicks with both hind feet run a
rope from one hind foot up through
the ring b, down through ring d and
back through ring b to G, and fasten

kicks with both feet he will jerk this

him standing on one foot. This will
