any state now find mule raising very
profitable If he will get the right sort
Of mares and keep the colts growing
right along till they make the neces-
sary size. The mares must be of good
size. The mule will be sure to get his
size from his dam. and If he is kept
growing right along he will be good
for a fair price as two-year-old and
for a better one at three. And yet
the cost will not be more than that of
a steer of the same age.
Feeding is another important factor
in mule raising. Either corn or oats
are good feed to use with alfalfa hay.
They will give better results If used
together than if either one Is fed alone.
If the mules do not seem to eat as
much as they should, mix shelled corn
and oats in equal parts by weight and
grind them. Feed only a little ground
feed at first and gradually increase 1t
as they get accustomed to the change.
Some of the mules may not eat any
more of the ground feed than of the
whole corn and oats, but what they
do eat will do them more good. lit
tie blackstfap molasses mixed with
the grain would make it more palatable
after they once become used to it, in
creasing the consumption of feed and
consequently making faster gains. If
the mules have any tendency to scour
at work the main grain reliance should
be oats. or little of some other kind
of hay might be fed with the alfalfa.

Accordingly Professor Holden plan

sistance Of railroad managers. lie
would take a special train and go oui
ON the railroads where he could meet
the farmers and show them that sci
ence only simpli6es.
Professor Holden's plan was not to
go into plant breeding, but to conhne
himself largely to insisting that the
farmers plant selected seed corn, seed
which had been tested In a simple de-
vice which could be made in any farm
workshop. Given this hint In lectures
and by the use of charts. the Iowa ed
ucator believed the direct result would
be instantaneous, while the fairyland
of science would he opened little
way to the farmers. and they would
realize after the first year or two OF
experimenting that by Harvesting up
and using the forces OF heredity in
corn and other farm crops production
could be greatly increased and conse-
quently the profits of farming become
greater. the land pay dividends" on u
higher valuation. because brains had
been mixed with muscle In meeting
the seasons
The work Professor Holden proposed
to do was evangelistic, aud when his
trains were started down the long
lines OF shimmering steel they became
known as ''seed corn gospel trains"
Some of the figures Professor Holden
presented were startling, but they sent
large audiences OF farmers away from
the meetings pledged never again to
select seed corn from a crib with a
scoop shovel.

The Value of the Separator.

The value of the cream separator is
based on the amount it saves out Of
the loss of the cream that is common
under the old or primitive methods.
Usually there is a loss of from % to
60 per cent of the cream. The cream
separator saves this loss. and. comput.
ing that under the average price Of
butter fat the cream separator will
save the farmer $40 or more a COW
per year. so we see that If a farmer
milks five or six cows he saves enough
in one year TO buy a cream separator
above the old methods. Many Of the
hardware dealers who are separator
agents have said to me frequently that
they are always pleased TO sell a cream
separator TO the farmer because 1t
