wish to call your attention TO the
jack Gladiator" which, sold Mr.: VIM.
Horribly a short time ago. This Is one
of the best bred jacks in the state OF
Wisconsin and will produce the best
mules you have ever seen. Nothing
pays so well as to raise a few good
mules. Mules are bringing much high
er prices than horses, and when horses
are high, mules are still higher, This
has been the case since the settlement
of America and it will never change.
OF course we cannot raise all mules; we
must raise more horses than mules,
but it will pay every farmer to raise a
few good mules. Weanling mules the
past season sold readily at from $50 to
$40 each at four mOnths old. Good,
heavy three and four year old mules
are now bringing $400 to $500 per pair
everywhere. One gentleman from Mo
bile, Alabama, came here a few days
ago and says he cannot buy pair OF
mules in Mobile for less than $500, even
though they were aged and not very
sound. | will buy all the mules sired
by Mr.. Hornby's jack, delivered IN
Viroqua at weanling age, during the
month of November, next year, that
are of fair quality, sound and in rea-
sonably good condition, at $65 each.
make the delivery late so as toget the
late mules. All those who are in posi-
ton to do so should patronize Mr.. Horn
by this season. You cannot make as
much money in any other way in live
