MONEY IN MULES.
3-Year=Olds Bring $500
Each.

Raising mules for the market is an
industry which for some reason is
almost entirely neglected in the East
safer. surer method of making money,
especially for the small farmer.
A farmer with a hundred acres could
raise q couple of mules every year.
When three years old, IL a fair size,
they will bring him 5000 each. If extra
large and well shaped they will bring
almost as much more. There is always
a demand and a ready market for any
mule, and the bigger the mule the big
ger the price.
One mar with d farm of 200 acres
keeps one driving horse and ten mares.
Each one of these mares raises a
mule colt every year besides doing all
the farm work, and on this particular
farm there is plenty for them to do.
The colts are allowed to run with the
mares until four months old. They are
then placed in a pasture by themselves
and are never allowed to stop grow
ing until they hav attained their full
growth. From the time they leave the
mare until they are shipped to market
they are never fed hay or oats. Sowed
corn, bean fodder, c~ornstalks and
straw in winter and grass in hummer
in their diet.
MY experience" writes this farmer
in Country Life in America, ,"has
taught me that mules thrive best on
coarse food-not fence rails and the
windy end of a barn, but any other
food than hay or oats. My rations for
sixty mules engaged in heavy railroad
construction work are six quarts of
corn a day for each, and n bundle
Of rye straw for two mules at night"
