BREEDING FOR MULES.
By Using thoroughbred Mares.styIe.
Finish and Action Are In
sured In the FOaI.

1t is an established fact that the
blood of the thoroughbred running
horse is more prepondent than that of
any other of the equine tribes in so
far as transmitting action. finish and
courage TO its produce This is no
ticeable in any cross-bred animal, that
carries even quarter per cent. of this
most desirable blood, from the diminu-
tive Shetland pony to the big Percheron
or Clyde, and in every instance, except
where it is desired to keep the line
blood pure, adds value to the foal
The most pronounced improvement
from mingling this thoroughbred blood
with other strains is in mating a thor
ougbred mare with a jack. 1t gives a
finish, style and action to the foal that
will readily command from ten to if
teen dollars more in the open market
than one by the. same jack out of an
ordinary farm mare. But this ten or
fifteen dollars is by no means the meas
ure of the increased value of mule
out of thoroughbred mare; through
her he inherits quick action, spirit and
courage, that enables him from the
day he comes into service to perform
more work than the common-bred mule
Or horse.
This matter of breeding mules from
thoroughbred mares is by no means
experimental; its value has long since
been recognized by breeders of both
mules and thoroughbreds. The late
Gen. w. G. Harding, the founder and
proprietor of the once famous Belle
Meade stud, used these marlborough
bred mules almost exclusively in cul-
tivating such portions of. the farm as
were not devoted to the rearing of his
thoroughbred horses; they were the
produce Of mares that had failed to drop
successful runners. No better mules
were ever foaled than those bred at
Belle Meade, and no hardsomer teams
ever looked through collars; solid
blacks or bays, clean-iimbed, thin
pointed ears, up-headed, quick or quick
er than horse, and with the courage
and strength to do third more work
either in the plow or wagon. But the
superior excellence of marlborough
bred mule is not confined alone to the
wagon and pillow, as the writer can tes-
tify from his personal experience. The
best buggy animal he ever owned for
hard driving every day, and at the same
time one of the handsomest, was a
light fawn-colored Electromagnetic
mule. She could pull a top buggy a
mile in something better than four
minutes, and cover from six to eight
miles an hour one day with another
for weeks in succession without the
least distress. and the worst mule trade
he ever made was when, after driving
her for nearly two years, he sold her
for $30O.-Southern Agriculturist.

lows:

in a foundry where I was exposed to
dampness. First my feet began to hurt
and to swell, then my knees and my
shoulder joints began to be affected in
the same way. Finally could not walk
without great difficulty and suffering
and had to stop work altogether. My
appetite was feeble and grew very pale
aud weak. l began to have pains about
my heart and it fiuttered a great deal.

dition. My mother knew about the vir-
tues of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, as thew
had given her back her health when she
was nearly wasting to death, and when
she found that they were good for rheu-
matism too, she began to give them to
me about month after was attacked.
That was in the early part of March,
1903, and by June they had driven away
the pains and swelling and had restored
my appetite and color. Then 1 felt
strong enough to take mp line of out

NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair
Began to Fall out-Wonderful Re
suit from Cuticura Remedies.

about the latter part of July my whole
body began to itch. i did not take much
notice of it at first, but it began to get
worse all the time, and then I began to
get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths md
other remedies that were recommended
FOR skin humors; but became worse all
the time. My hair began to fall out and
my scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as would get in
bed and get warm, my whole body would
begin to itch and nay finger nails would
keep it irritated, and it was not long be-
fore l could not rest night or day. A
friend asked me to try the Cuticura Rene
dies, and / did, and the first application
helped me wonderfully For about four
weeks l would take hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura ONT

Second: Because Vinol acts first
upon the stomach creates a healthy
appetite, strengthens and tones up
the digestive organs purifies and en-
riches the blood, and, in a natural
manner, restores health and strength.
Third Because vinol contains no
