ASSES MILK COMES HIGH,

Asses, instead of cows, occupied
one side of the stable. There were
twenty of them, neat little beasts.
(. We charge dollar and a half a
quart for asses milk" said the dairy
manager. You see, we have to, for
these animals although MIXED
four times a day, only yield two pints
apiece altogether.
The milk is very thin. 1t is sweet

Sometimes We sell an ass to "A
customer. We charge $50 Then the
customer himself, or else his servant,
must do the milking, and that is a
hard, disagreeable, even dangerous
job. In the long run, after month
or two. the ass is sou back to us at
half price,
often we rent an ass out to a family
that needs the milk. We charge IS a
week rental. The family, by doing
its own milking, thus saves So.

MULES ARE PROFITABLE.
Farmers Find They Pay Far Better
Than Horses.

The average farmer is probably not
aware of the fact that an average
mule sells for $40 head more than
horses. Sucn is the case and the
price has been gradually rising for
number of years. There has never
been what would be called an over
production of mules, while the mar
ket has often been unable to fully
supply the trade, says the Sarcoxie
MOI Leader
The ability of the mule to endure
great heat has brought it into most
general use in the southern states,
where large farms are devoted en-
tirely to raising cotton: also the
farmers of this country find the mule
stands the work in the hot season
in wheat fields much better than
the horse. All men that have used
mules know this to be fact.
The mule natures more quickly
than the horse and can be placed on
the market from one to two years
sooner than the average horse. This
means a larger profit to the pro-
ducers and quicker returns for the
investment. A well-fed mule can be
worked at two years of age with
safety, if proper Judgment Is ex.
ercised by the driver. They are
much less nervous than a horse. thus
not so liable to accident or blemish.
A blemish, that would make a fine
horse unstable would take but a
trifie from a mule. The mule is less
liable to wire cuts and blemishes for
the reason that he is more careful
about running into anything than a
horse. You will see six or eight
horses blemished and SCARED from
wire where you will see one mule
SCARED from it.
The mule is a taxpayer and a
mortgage litter for the farmer; he
is ready sale at weaving time, at one
wear, two years, or when he is
broken to work. The mule is ready
money at any age. The horse colt
does mot sell we'll until it is three
OF four years old and broke to work
and drive.

around it as tightly as possible. You
can now place it on Goals at white

The reason for this seemingly re

fatal accidents of this sort were
'thirty-five less than in 1904, while non
fatal injuries were 331 less than in the
previous twelvemonth.
More than half the total number of
persons killed con steam railroads i'm
E904 were trespassers upon the prop
erty of the roads, persons for whose
safety the reads were not legally re
s,ponsible lin; any way. But it is due to
them that the railroads appear in the
statistics to have been the cause of
mare accidental deaths than any
other single agency. When one re-
cabs THAT there are more than 100000
miles of steel rails, penetrating into
every nook and corner of the United
States; that the railroads employ
millions of men; that the number of
passengers carried annually runs up
to many millions; and that practically
the fetal population of the country in
some way or another comes in con-
tact with the railroads, the wonder is
that misshaps are relatively so few.
1T lis "a common idea that fatal acct
dents are much more frequent on
American railroads than on those in
Europe, particularly those in the
United Kingdom; and many persons
constantly assert that foreign lines
are operated with much greater re-
gard for safety than are the American.
The facts are quite the contrary, how
ever. The latest statistics show that
the difference in conditions here and
abroad il very slight, the number of
passengers killed to the billion carried
one mile being 1886 in the United
States, while in Europe. including the
United Kingdom, it is 12.16. These
figures are the more significant when
it is considered that the average time
schedule of European roads is much
slower than eurs; that foreigners are
more amenable to the rules and regu-
lations made by the roads for the
safety Of passengers and employees;
that foreigners also are constitu
tioaalIy less nervous, less fnsistent on
speed and less impatient of delay than
the citizens of this country.
A comparison Of the latest statistics
of fatalities among passengers on Eng
lish and American railways shows that
we have a clear advantage in the mat
ter Of safety. In Great Britain the
proportion Of passengers killed to
those carried one mile is one in 1928
900, while in this country it is one in
65,16S,143 In other words the average
American ought to be able TO travel
at least e5,o0o,900 miles by rail-
enough to occupy him through several
life-times-before he ran into fatal
accident; and he should be able TO
travel 2,541,0s6 miles without meeting
with even slight injury.
