Raising Mules in Georgia.

It is certainly refreshing to meet
up with a man in, the South who is
making a success in raising live
stock. 1t is quite a common thing to
find a farmer who is raising hogs and
some cattle, but it is very rare to find
one engaged in raising mules. Last
week we met MI. ]. McWhorter, of
Beardstown, in Oglethorpe County,
Georgia, who is as~uccessful merchant
and farmer. In conversation with
him he informed us that he was rails
ing mules on a small scale and was
very much pleased with the result.
He has six mares and raises six mules
a year. This spring he sold II of
his raisings for $21O.10. The mule
did moi cost him any greater outlay
OF money than he would have had to
expend i'll raising two bales of cotton,
and yet brought him just twice as
much. The farmers are right in not
having any but large, heavy mules.
1t takes power to pull the pillow deep.
Paying $500 and more for a mule
has begun to open our farmers eyes
to the vast drain upon our cotton
crop that is annually being made to
keep up the enormous supply of
mules. Now, let us go a step fur
ther and begin to raise them. Per-
cheron mares make fine working ami
mails and will breed large mules.
Every man who has as much as 200
acres of land or a goodpasture should
also have at least two good mares to
raise mEle colts. A fine jack should
be in every county site in our South
land. The mule will always be large
ly used by u cotton producers, then
why not raise them, since rye, wheat,
oats, peas, velvet beans, sorghum,
Bermuda, alfalfa will grow here with
earth if we only give them a good
chance. We feel a deep interest in
Mp. ]. L. McWhorter's venture. We
hope he will ~persevere, and we trust
hundreds of our successful farmers
will join with him in this important
and long neglected. IEanch. of farm

With One Eye Opcn.

Grease is cheaper than axles or
horsepower.
A little lime scattered about will
help some.
Those second-crop potatoes will be
among the best things on the table
next winter.
Entomology makes great divisions
in the family of mosquitoes; but they
all seem to have about the same
manners.
Right along now is a good time to
make out the program for next year.
The ancients consisted of. two
classes: 1st, those who were willing
to learn. 21, the others.
A good sort of education is that
which enables one to do the right
thing, at the right place, at the right
time.
If the mosquito bills are too siarp,
pour 4 few drops of kerosene ON any
surface water about the premises.
Flowing wet land is working for
nothing and taking money out of the
crop with which to pay for the privi-
lege.
we are all failures, now, aren't
we? The difference is that some
give up while the others keep going.

only way by which you can hope to
control the thistles, but it will pay
you to attack the problem with all

tremely difficult to eradicate, but if
you do not battle with it persistently
it will soon spread all over your farm

How to Deal With the DuckIings.

To raise young ducks successfully,
the best way is TO treat them almost
like Il pig, cOnfine them in a small,
grassy yard with a coop or a box for
a roosting place. Feed them four or
five times a day or more, from the
left overs" from the dinner table
cold vegetables, etc. Mix this with
buttermilk and feed in a trough as
you would a pig. not forgetting to
provide them with one-third the bulk
of their ration with sand, for they
do not pick grit as does the chicken,
but eat sand or even mud with their
ration.
They Need no exercise, and only
enough water to drink-none to
swim in, or even get the down on
them wet. They delight TO fill their
craws full, then sit quietly down
near the tros N and their eyes
up to the sun, first one side then the
other, until the spirit moves them
again to hit the feed trough. A fat
tening hog is modest in its demand
for food as compared with a flock of
healthy Pekin ducks a month old,
but then it is not watch Charlotte, but
the ducks grow.-Uncle 10, Mecklen-
burg County, North Carolina.

Only Too Well Satisfied.

The husband who is always growl-
ing ver everything from his meals
to his laundry looked up from his
paper and remarked sulkily:
MADAM, / see where a Chicago
man went from home, remaining
thirty years and then returned and
gave his wife $4,000. If you dom
do better you may find me doing the
same trick
This patient little wife looked up
from her sewing and replied sweetly
"All right, James, but if you will
only remain away the thirty years
you needn't trouble yourself about
the $4,000" And after that he stop
ped growling.-Chicago News.

RIGHT HOME
Doctor Recommends Postum From
Personal Test.

No one is better able to realize
the injurious action of caffeine-the
drug in coffee-on the heart, than the
doctor.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving off coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his WI case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because he
was benefited by it. He says:
Il wish to add my testimony in re-
gard to that excellent preparation
Postum. I have had functional or
nervous heart trouble for " Is
Years, and part of the time was I'M
able to attend to my business.
L was a moderate user Of coffee
and did not think drinking it hurt
me. But on stopping 1t and using
Postum instead, my heart has got all
right, and / ascribe il to the change
from coffee to Postum.
I am prescribing it now in cases
Of sickness, especially when coffee
uoes 1ot agree, or affects the heart,
nerves or stomach.
When made right it has a much
better flavor than coffee. and is a

among cotton producers as time pas
ses, as it is now doing, we look for
several thousand Of these co-opera-
tive warehouses to be put up this
summer.
When cotton producers get great
chain of these warehouses linked to-
gether in all the cotton States in
bonded form and produce their own
farm supplies, this concert of action
in, a business way will place this
whole cotton proposition upon firm
foundation and insure continued pros

buttNit Yill also bring prosperity to
every industry in the South.
There is nothing new in this art of
making artificial stone or cement
blocks BY properly mixing sand and
cement. This art is about as old as
the country. But the recent improve
ments in the manufacturing and con-
sequent cheapening of the cost of ce-
ment and the machinery for forming
these hollow blocks has reduced the
cost of this building material to such
an extent that ii now looks like we
are into what might be called the
cement or concrete age.
These small hand power machines,
weighing from 400 pounds up and
costing from $4,000 up,'may be set up
at any convenient place, and by fol-
lowing the instructions sent out with
these machines most any intelligent
man can make these hollow blocks
and put up these warehouse walls.
Any further information on this
warehouse subject may be had by any
Union men that will address this bu-
rcau and enclose stamped envelope
for reply.
