Horses and Mules in the West.

"a pair Of big, fine young mules
are easily worth $500, and they are
hard to get, even at that high price,"
said Mr.. l.. B. Foreman, of Cincin-
natl
Kentucky is the great mule pro-
ducing State, and one county alone in
that Commonwealth had $4,000
mules on it's tax rolls last year.
There is good money in breeding
tAem, but not in localities where land
is very high priced. Horses of high
quality are also very scarce in the
West, and the demand for them is
even keener than in the days when
automobiles were unknown. Good
horses, in fact, are so high that sales
are exceedingly. dull. "-Washinston
Post.

be easy to create passageways for
persons to walk when taking and
leaving their seats. In case of fire,
an easy exit could be made. In the

shown in which there is a recess or
counter-sunk portion. This recess
corresponds in depth and size to the

surface is established which can
readily be walked ever by persons
without endangering their lives.

coed President Roosevelt.

been made that the great North
Platte forest reserve of 100000
acres OF supposed forests has scarce
ly 100 trees on the entire reservation,
but instead is composed of fat prai-
rie land without a tree in sight for
miles.
