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 so. The wise feeder will
keep these facts in view when buying
yang or work mules. The rough,
leggy animal should be avoided. SNch
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
stunted, rough and thin Is 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 go 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 a loosening agent and pro-
duce 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 a 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 it is prac-
tically impossible to make good trim
later. When receiving a mule that has
been shod, remove the shoes, especial
ly those on the hind feet, the first
thing. Mules will kick each other,
but if there are no shoes, no harm is
done.
Work as many as possible, If only
time or two. Many consider mule
broken that has had only one or two
lessons in the wagon or pillow. Mules
should be kept, during the fattening
period, confined to the shed. Good
beddiRg is very essential to producing
q 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.

BREEDING AND FEEDING.
Good Blood viii Do Little Without
Good Food.


In breeding of pure-bred stock there
are several elementary principals es-
sential to success; none of which, how
ever, are entitled to take precedence
over the problem Of good feeding"
The party aspiring to make a mark
as a breeder may possess the capital,
good knowledge of pedigrees, infor-
nation as to the history Of the breed
and the animals that have contributed
to its prominence, and, in addition to
all Of these, he may be good judge
of individual merit and be possessed
of ample ambition, yet If he lacks
that one thing-the knowledge and
application of good feeding as an adj
junct to good breeding"-his ideals
will be shattered, and, worst of all,
he will be financially disappointed.
Therefore, upon this one thing OF good
feeding largely hinges the breeders
success of failure.
know of very wealthy gentleman
who had high ambitions to own one
of the ranking herds of the breed in
which he was very much interested,
says G. ID. Bellows, in Kansas Farmer.
4-e bought literally from the herds Of
the best breeders and had at his COM
mand all of the facilities for turning
out from the herd class of stock of
his own breeding that should have
been a credit alike to him and the
breed. But being both too short
sighted and too stingy to permit his
young things to be properly fed and
developed, we have known Of young
stock of his breeding, the offspring of
splendidly bred and high-priced sires
and dams, go begging at prices that
almost failed to pay sale expenses,
much less return profit upon the in
vestment. The pecuniary loss to a
man of great means is, comparatively
speaking, small matter when put
against the influence that such an
abominable example may have in dis
couraging those who may be watching
the results of this mans breeding
operations.
believe that at the door of poor
feeding can be charged the direct
cause OF more cases or discourage
ment, loss of money and finally giving
up of the improved stock business
than any other one thing.
Without good feeding it is impossi-
BILE to produce cattle that will fully
please either the owner, his friends,
or, more particularly, his customers.
1t is safe to say where a herd of poor
ly fed cattle, half cared for, are kept
on a farm until the owner and breeder
concludes Gas he is sure to do) that
he is in the wrong business and gets
ready for a closing-out sale, that dis
appointment is in store for him. His
banker is also liable to be his COM
panion in disappointment, as will also
the auctioneer, newspaper men, and
last, but not least, the prospective
buyers.

CALLING ON THE "oFF" NIGHT

The moon hung low upon the west
ern sky.
"Ah," unused the young man In the
shadows of the old porch, at is not
my regular night for calling on Evan
geline, but I'll just surprise her. I
know she is in the hammock because
l just heard her cough. I'll just creep
up and hug and kiss her in the dark"
He tiptoed in the direction of the
hammock. 1t was as dark as Egypt.
Suddenly he extended his arms, en-
braced and kissed the form in front of
him. But instead Of the soft, fair
cheek Of Evangeline it was a coarse
cheek of bristles.
"Robbers!" shouted a basso voice,
intermingled with feminine screams.
"Housebreakers!" Porch climbers!"
Far down the road a GREATNESS

ELEPHANT AT THE TELEPHONE
Animal Took Much Time to Learn
Ludicrous Trick.

So perfectly is this elephant broken
that he works by cues imperceptible
to the audience. The trainer merely
raises his shoulders and the young
bull strides toward the telephone box,
turn the crank, ringing the bell, picks
up the receiver in his long trunk and
holds it to his great, flap ear. Then
he hangs it up with the suddenness
of disgust, rings the bell a second
time, and again holds the receiver to
his ear, while he listens with the
sage, bland expression which only an
elephant can assume. When finished,
he hangs up the receiver and rings
off,"
For something like two minutes
this performance lasts. Yet 1t re-
quired month of steady, hard work
to break the elephant into this SIM
pie, ludicrous trick. More than 1000
times, actual count, Barlow had to
grasp Toms trunk, apply it to the
the bell crank and teach the circular
motion of ringing the bell, by leading
the trunk just as you might lead the
hand of a young child when teaching
it to wind a music box. More than
1000 times the trainer had to lead
the tip of the big receiver of the tele-
phone to teach the beast to hold 1t to
his ear and hang it accurately back
on it's hook. And when these details
were mastered, it took more than 500
trials to teach the succession of wind
ing the crank and listening before
Tom understood and knew enough to
twist the crank without breaking ID
into halves at every contact.-Aple1

BUILDING a Breed.

The usual method Of starting a
breed of live stock is to select two
or more unusually good animals from
a group that has been developed in
a certain direction by means of better
food, better environment and careful
selection from greater number. No
breed 10 ever started IL the animals
that can be used are not better than
TIVE same breed of animals in another
locality. At the beginning this work
70 carried on by a few men, some
Dnes by one. In-breeding has to be
practiced for generations till certain
characteristics are fixed In the anil
pals. The in-breeding is intensified
by constantly eliminating those AMI
rAals not of the desired type.

A FOOD CONVERT.
Good Food the True Road to Health.

The pernicious habit some persons
still have of relying on nauseous drugs
to relieve dyspepsia, keeps up the
patent medicine business and helps
keep up the army of dyspeptics.
Indigestion - dyspepsia lis caused
by what is put into the stomach in
the way of improper food, the kind
that so taxes the strength of the d.
gestive organs they are actually Grip
pied.
When this state is reached, to resort
to stimulants is like whipping tired
horse with big load. Every addi-
tional effort he makes under the lash
increases his loss of power to move
the load.

off heavy, greasy, indigestible food and

Cows, pigs and the separator are a
get-there combination.
Sold your wool yet? Brought a good
price this year, didn't it?
The older pigs grow the more food
it will take to make pound of gain.
There never should be an unsound

from the farms of this country.
Feed the farm by the way of THO
good COW. Feed her and she will feed
the farm. and everybody on 1t.
Cultivate your smellers. Never
leave a churn after washing, until
it smells as fresh as the morning dew.
Sows can be kept in smooth, sight
ly conditions. and yet fulfill all the re-
quirements of abundant milk produc-
ton.
Nature never designed that an ami
NAL should suckle down to a skeleton,
which is never done If a proper supply
of food given.

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

The American thoroughbred Is de-
scended 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
cross of common blood during the
past hundred years or more, and it
is doubtful if one having an out-cross
$50 years back would be recorded. A
reference to the lists of horses in Eng
fish 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 it is believed that
in bringing in more foreign blood,
even of the Arabian breeds, there is
danger of deteriorating ii.
The American trotting horse was
developed from the thoroughbred. or
rather as strain of the thoroughbred.
Constant selection has made this
horse the most important of the thor
oughbreJs. not only for races, but also
for the saddle and carriage.

in southern India species of spider
that builds spongy nests with out

by 40 to 100 spiders, with large
excess of females; sometimes five or
six nests are clustered together The
