Raise Mules, Farmer

When you may raise one mule colt
each year. and give your, wife a gentle
mare to drive around, from New Year s
till Christmas, for her complete satisfac-
ton and convenience; and the mare can
also cultivate enough corn and fodder to
feed herself full twelve months; where
is the good sense In going to mule deal
er and promising TO pay him two hun
bred dollars for a three-year-old mule,
and then drain yourself dry of cash in the
fall to pay him?
II mules you must have, why not raise
them for yourself and save that money
We have excellent Bermuda pastures
and colts could be easily raised by the
tenants who pay not a cent for the use
of these pastures; yet they all go to the
mule dealer and buy. mules at high prices.
OF course mules must be looked after,
and a scrub mule colt will sell cheap. but
the average farmer has so much more
time than money, that he can afford to
rise a little earlier or stay out little
later to see that the little mules are safe
ly sheltered and fed, before his days
work is done. Cotton and mules go to-
gether-just like hogs and corn are In
unison-so we may set 1t down that mules
will be in demand as long as cotton is
worth cultivating. 1t is my opinion that
brood mares are valuable property in a
cotton country; and the wise farmer viii
look ahead and appreciate the opportuni-
ty of raising a two hundred dollar mule
while he is raising two hundred dollars
worth of cotton that costs more time,
labor and expense to raise and market
