They are less bic TO disease than
horses, can stand heat better, are not
easily biemished. as they are very
famous countries the sure footed mule
is used almost exclusively as the beast
Of burden. They can draw heavy loads,
such as a binder or corn harvester,
with much less worry than the horse
in hot weather
In muddy or fat countries the mule
should be bred with large feet, the
same as horses.
Why do the armies of the world
want mules? Simply because of the
mules nature. He can withstand more
hardships than the horse. His heavy
jawbone enables him to live on very
rough food OR forage. BE responds
readily TO kind tres tment and will
stsnd more exerbon and live longer
than the norse. Nearly every state in
The Union raises more or less mules.
and in the great majority of them the
higher than horses.
Now. if the mule is so valuable when
his dam is bred in the country general
ly to the jack, only when she is deemed
too much blemished or unfit to breed
to horse, what would be the result
If he had an equal chance Of having
for his dam the best mares in the land
such ais are bred to these fine horses
We don't want these horse breeders to
quit breeding. nor will they do it, for
we are looking to better mares to get
better mules
Some people have the idea that
mules and jacks are vicious and hard
to handle. I have handled them for
twenty-five years and Ia large num-
bers, sometimes as many as 300 on my
farms at one time, and have never
been bitten, kicked or hurt by either
mule or jack, and find to handle them
with kindness there is no more harm
in them than In the gentlest Of horses.
have never had a jack or mule
founder, either on grain or water. l
do believe a good mule team can do
as much work as a good team OF
horses on half the amount of grain. AS
for the care of mules, we give them all
they want to eat and drink and work
them all the time. Our mules are al
ways fat, and we never have a sick
one. AS the mule will not breed, l
think they were created for special
purpose-and that true, honest, dura-
BILE and valuable worker. And we as
breeders should aim to breed for the
best, the largest and smoothest, with
plenty of bone, good style and action.
This can only be done by breeding first
class mares to first class jacks, and
then you will find when you raise
mules they will command first class
price.

A little circumstance happened here

than save the price Of the boar on the

he said, more for it than he ever paid

mare she may continue. doing her work
as usual She will be much better

some men who were arguing the sub.

In the very peak OF the building. This

KEEPING THE
SWINE HEALTHY

lt is the custom In many states for
horse stalls into the pigpen. Where
much is thrown In at once ii is liable
to heat. Ii the pigs are compelled to
sleep in this heating manure and then
get out into the cold air they are apt to
have rheumatism. says writer in
the Farm Journal Then their owner
will ask. What ails my pigsg They
seem 10 have lost the use of their legs"
Ii hat little manure is thrown into the
pen at once the pigs can generally
spread il about and keep il from heat
in%, but some people do not clean out
the l,oX stalls for several days or
weekssat time Pigs should not be
compelled Ia sleep In manure OF any
kind Better give them a nest place by
itself With nothing in 1t but dry straw.
Dipping Hogs.
j. NJ Gray of Wakenda. Mo-, sue
cessful farmer and stockman, thinks
there Is no excuse for what is known
as hog cholera He says that the old
adage of the preventive being better
than the cure stands good with the hog
raisers. Il ann one of the kind that
lost many hogs from the so called
cholera" said Mr.. Gray. But | have
adopted the dipping pan, aud since
put that 10 force ! have not had sick
hog on the place. The hog needs some
sanitary care, just the same as any
other animal or human being for that
matter, In order to keep him healthy
and free from disease. 1t is not cost
iy treatment either, but no other ex-
penditure on the farm will bring back
any such big returns as dipping the
hogs. ! dip them. whether there Is any
not. 1t kills the lice, cleans the hogs

The Old Time sPip."

Pip Is just one symptom In disease.
1t Is just a dry tongue. Never try to
remove the dry covering of the tongue.
Better hunt the real trouble and cure
that. A "pippy" tongue Is seen in
bronchitis, pneumonia-in fact, in all
diseases Of the air passages, says a
writer In American Poultry Advocate.
One thing 1 am sure of-that IL, that
boiled potato skins never produce trou-
bic. ] see no reason to think that there
is drying quality enough In these skins
when fed raw to give the looks Of
pip.

Give the Eoais Water

1t is as necessary that the fOals
have an abundance Of pure water as 1t
d to feed them literally, says Horse
Breeder. They should be watered at
least three times every day and should
be given plenty Of time to drink. The
stalls should be well ventilated and
well lighted The man who attempts
to raise colts In damp, dark place
will not find the business profitable.
When II is possible to do so have the
stalls on the south side Of the building
and furnished with glass windows that
will admit the sunlight. but 90 securely
protected that the glass cannot be
