MULES OF
MANY TYPES

A prominent expert breeder says
that the greatest seller ON the market
| Is the cotton mule" About half the
mules marketed are Of this class. They
are bought from December to the lst
Of March by the southern planters or
the dealers who supply them. The
cotton mules height runs from four
teen to fifteen and half hands, and
he must weigh from $50 to- LOO
pounds. The kind sought after by the
southern planter Is the trim. smooth
haired mule that shows good breed
ing The Missouri variety suits the
man Of the cotton fields.
Next In Importance Is the 'levee or
construction mule" In great demand
for railroad and levee building. Camps
need big rugged animals. Style cuts

especially desired for drawing heavy
loads In loose dirt He must weigh
from 1900 to 1900 pounds and be from
fifteen to seventeen hands high. In

"wagon mule" Size and breed are

over They advertise their owners as
well as themselves. They are now
much used for heavy delivery pur-
poses, often worked three abreast, be-
ing considered better than horses for
this traffic on account Of their endur-
ance.
The "mine mule Is broad, chunky
fellow. but not very tall. The average
height Is fourteen hands. The spit

ground channels, must not be over
twelve and one-half hands high and
must have long bodies and short legs

New Process Milk GermIess.


After more than q years experiment
with Its new system for the purifica-
ton Of milk well known corporation
has announced its intention of conduct
ing trial station in East Orange,
N. ]. Embracing several radical de-
partures from other methods of purih-
cation, the new system aims to pro-
duce a milk that will be free from
typhoid and other disease germs and
more assimilable than the raw mate
rial
At the diaries the milk will be
pumped cold into forty gallon tanks
which contain carbonic acid gas at a
pressure Of seventy-five pounds. These
cans are taken to the distributing sta
tions, where the pressure is relieved
and the milk passed through vacuum
tanks. t.is then bottled and deliv-
cred to the consumer. - "-~---tt =. : =.
The process and the product have
been put through series Of examina-
tons by a prominent physician In
his opinion milk subjected to carbonic
acid gas, which Is the principal ingredi-
sent Of soda water, at the pressure
which is used will be free from 95 per
cent Of the bacteria which are harm
full. He also says the disagreeable fea-
lures Of raw milk are eliminated.
Chemical analysis has shown that
the treated milk is more easily d.
lgested than the raw product. Itwould
be better, therefore, for infant feeding.

Of planters and contractors. Almost
any kind Of mule seems to satisfy
| the farmer, although when he takes a
| notion to have fine team he will
| ontbid the trader for it. 2
There are sound reasons for this de-
nand for mules. The fool mule, so
termed by comic writer's, is not such a
TOOL, after all. He knows how to take
care OF himself, and teaming compa-
MES that have used them will tell you
that q span of mules will outlast two
or three spans Of horses at hard work.
The mule will neither overeat nor
overdrink. When very tired he never
drinks or eats until he rests. He Is
not easily overworked; neither Is he
nervous, but conserves his energy by
taking things quietly. He is immune
to many diseases that attack the horse,
The demand for the mule is Just trib-
ute to his usefulness and an argu-
ment in favor Of growing him on the
farm. {
The prices Of mules vary some. but
there Is no farm animal more steady

An expert breeder says that brood
sows when breeding for market
should be fed warm ,slop. sktmmilk
and wheat bran made into a thin
mash. with just enough corn to keep
them In good order, but not overfat
during the winter. They need a good
pasture to run on during the spring
and summer and blue grass, clover
and cowpeas for pasture and forage
The pigs should have a separate pen
to feed In just as soon as they are
large enough. They soon learn to eat
warm slop in which little cornmeal
or wheat bran is stirred. As the pigs
grow the sows are fed more and rich
er feed. such as wheat, rye. cornmeal
and plenty of rich slop and pumpkins
during the winter. 81 - ".s-
Each brood SOW should have pen
to herself. which is kept we'll supplied
with. clean straw. as bedding for win
ter. During the summer she has q
run In woodland pasture and thick
ct. When the pigs are Eve or six
weeks old they should be taken from
the sows and put on feed to them
selves. -
The March pigs should be fed for
the November market. They should be
started on rye pasture in April, then
put on clover. AS soon as they can
get full benefit Of new rye turn them
in on it,, then on cowpeas, and feed
corn about FIVE or six weeks before
marketing. The hogs when ready for
market at eight and nine months old
should weigh about $50 to 275 pounds
each and bring fancy prices from To-
cal butchers. Keep the fall pigs grow
ing all winter. In the spring they
should be put on rye pasture and early
clover and fed cornmeal, wheat and
rye grain and finished up for the June
market on little old corn.
Hogs should have access to plenty of
pure water at all times. Give them
stone, coal, salt and wood ashes and
sometimes little sulphur as tonic

and have no doubt 1t Is true, that
Colonel Roosevelt and President Taft
have been III correspondence. All this
clears the atmosphere and makes a
whole lot Of things Ineligible that be-
fore were the occasion Of doubts and
misgivings. 5i
There is only one element In the
matter that is still confusing. It is the
slant taken by Clifford Pinchot and
James r. Garfield, who were the two
particular friends Of Roosevelt when
In the White House. Within the past
Few days Mr.. Pinchot has advised the
National Conservation association, Of
which he is the new president, that
certain of the administration conserva-
tion bills are Objectionable. Indeed,
there are few items of the proposed
legislation to which he gives his cor
dial support. Now, 1t Is known that
Garfield is working with Pinchot, and
presumably these structures have his
approval. This is new phase Of the
Ballinger-P!nchot controversy and a
serious one. In the beginning it was
stated that the difference between the
secretary Of the interior and former for
ester was largely one Of methods and
that all sides were practically agreed
as to the legislation necessary. These
latest developments indicate the line
OF cleavage to be more fundamental,
relating not only to methods, but to
policies and principles.
The CLAWS testimony that Garfield
was not reapp pointed secretary Of the
Interior for the reason that the Cum
bingham coal claimants opposed him
Is denied by friends Of President Taft,
and the real reason for his elimination
Is explained. In effect 1t Is that Taft
wanted older and more experienced
men. Moreover, Garfield believed In.
one rule OF action that to the president
was inad admissible. It was the one later
put forward by Mr.. pinchot that a
public official should do all for the
people that the law does not expressly
forbid him from doing. Now, Taft as
g lawyer and q judge looked on thai.

OF the president say that this was the

BsrtoIette a Naval Commander

1. Calvin Bertolette, son OF Lew
A Bertolette of Wilmington, and
himself a Wilmingtonian, was
Fridav commissioned by the Navy
Department at Washington, to be a
commander in the navy, the promo
ton dating from July Ist, 1909.
Before the commission was issued II
was necessary to take an examina-
tion and the promotion shows the
successful result Of that examina-
ton.
Commander Bertolette is well and
favorablv known in Wilmington
where he spent his boyhood. He en-
tered the Naval Academy at An
napolis, Md, in 1888, as a result
of passing a competitive examina-
ton in a most creditable manner.
Following the usual course at the
Naval Academy he passed through
the different official stages in the
navy and now has been elevated to
the post Of commander Nominally
he has been a commander for some
time, his last duty being in charge
of the naval interests Of the Philip
pine Islands. He was with the
/ fleet which sailed around the world
but as a result of orders from Wash
ington he stopped at Manila to
take charge Of the work there, and
remained at Manila until a few
months ago when he was ordered
( to return here for the examination
for his promotion, which had al
ready been decided upon.
When Commander Bertolette was
an ensign in the navy he was as
signed to the Wilmington, being a
member of the first corps Of officers
selected for the boat, and he was
with the Wilmington at the time il
visited Wilmington. Since that
time he has been on several of the
larger boats, serving as executive
officer on some of them. Since his
promotion he has not been assign
ed. Having been away for severa.
years he may remain here for some
time. He is now in Seattle, Wash

Commissioners MAKING
A NEW CODE OF LAWS
Lore, Ward and Hayes WreStle
With Thousands of Pages.

II any person imagines that the
revising and recodifying Of the laws
OF Delaware is an easy task, he
should observe the work thus far
done in the way Of making new
code for Delaware by former Chief
Justice Chas. B. Lore, Walter II.
HAYES and Herbert II. Ward, com
missiOners who We're named by the
State Judiciary under authority Of
the last Legislature Messrs. Lore,
Ward and Hayes have been at work
on the making Of new code Of
laws for the State since Oct. 4 last,
and they still have many months Of
the most exacting cOllating, revis-
ing, re-arranging and annotating Of
laws ahead of them, Some idea Of
what remains to be done may be
had from the fact that they will re-
wise, edit and cut down about 4, 500
pages to make a code that will com
prise about 1000 pages. 1t prOba-
bly will be printed and issued in
two volumes for convenience in
handling. The code as revised will
have to be adopted, section by sec
ton Just like a new law, by the
Legislature, and this will consume
many weeks Of a session.
The resolution Of the Legislature
providing for revising and recodi-
fication Of the Laws of Delaware,
set 81, 800 as a limit Of all expenses
including salaries. There is but
81 900 available for actual expenses
of the commissioners, and doubtless
the next Legislature will be asked to
sanction an additional appropria-
tion to pay for the cost of typewrit-
ing and some ether expense details
The State Of Indiana appropriated
500 600 for the revising of its code
which had been revised only a few
years before. Among the lawyers
generally the opinion seems to be
that Delaware is fortunate in getting
three lawyers Of the ability OF Judge
Lore. Mr.. Ward and Mr.. Hayes to
undertake the work they are now
doing for anywhere near the COM
pensatlon they are to receive. 1t is
the first code to be revised and es-
tablished for Delaware since 1852.
The 1852 code was compiled by
Samuel NJ. Harrington, Daniel NJ.
Bates and Joseph P. Comegys. Some.
idea Of the ground covered thus far
by the commissioners can be had
from the following table regarding
what they have done thus far.
