good, as such ration keeps the

have found corn fodder a very
good bedding. Once q week we
sprinkle alrslaked lime, not too
heavily, on the bedding to pre-
vent the mules having sore feet.

How to Get Rid of Mites and
Hawks.

In his lecture before the
students of the Agricultural De-
Partment of the University of
Missouri last week, T. f. Orr,
secretary of the American Poul.
tty Associatian, told methods of
combating mites and chicken
hawks that might easily be used
by every Missouri housewife:
Mites, he says, may be gotten
rid OF by spraying the chicken
house with a mixture of one part
crude carbobic acid and eight
parts carbon oil. This mixture he
recommends in preference to
mite exterminators sold by trav.
cling agents.
Hawks, he claims, may be
kept out of the poultry yard by
attaching bright pieces of tin, six
ny ten inches, to the trees and
poles surrounding quarters, by
strings two feet long, so that the
wind will make the bright metal
dance in the sunlight.-Live

AS to The Value of Mules.

J. F. Cook. Union Stockyards,
Lexington. KY, is convinced that
the mule as a class is more
valuable animal than the horse
on the farm. He has observed
from repeated experiments that
three mules fifteen hands high
constantly worked consume about
as much forage as two ordinary
sized horses that the vIciousness
and stubbornness of mules are
developed by bad handling, and
that they are truer pullers than
the horse and are Of better hear.
ing and vision. Discussing the
raising of mules he says in the
kentucky Farmer and Breeder:
We find the best colts we buy
are out Of mares with from one
fourth to one half draft blood in
them, which draft blood gives
them the bone and weight, while
the Kentucky blood gives them
the style and finish. We think a
colt which stands three feet five,
inches to three feet six inches
nigh, properly cared for when
weaned at So to 50 inches, when
fully developed will measure Is 3
TO 16.1 hands high, and that
makes them good enough for any
market.

II is said that ct. xas will
plant in "1906 larger acreage
in cotton than "ever before"
For several years the cotton
crop Of that State averaged
about 5000, 900 bales a year,but
in 1905 it did not aggregate
more than about 2 2,400,0o0 bales.
1t is expected that Texas will
grow this year 100000 bales,
or more than the yield OF the
entire world outside of The
United States. Il is estimated
that if all the available cotton
lands in Texas should be put un.
der cultivation il wuul be prac-
tlcable Tor that State to grow
from 100000 to 2O,OOO,OOO
bales OF cotton year, or about
twice the number of bales to
supply the wants of the manu-
fac uring world.
The point of most interest 10
the cetton planters of the South
generally, and to the cotton plan
ters of South Carolina, in whom
we have a particularly friendly
interest, is that Texas will pro
duce this year million and
half bales of cotton more than
it produced last year. In pitch.
ing his crops for 1906 the pru.
dent South Carolina farmer will
reduce his cotton acreage al
least 39 per cent if he wishes to
get anything like a fair price
for the staple next fall. What
our farmers ought 10 do is to
make this year the largest pro
vision crops they have ever
made. If they grow cotton large
ly, their condition at the end of
the crop year will be far worse
than at any previous time in the
last decade. The world can take
only so much cotton, and the
planters ought to have learned
by this time that large crop
means a small price for the sta.
pie. and Courier.
