II will be seen that the horse and
mule population, except for one i've
year period, increased constantly,
while the value fiuctuated much more
widely. The mule was worth on the
average the lowest price in it's his
tory In the depth of the depression
which followed the panic OF 1909.
Since that time he has advanced like
close second, but always second
as the figures show.
A Missouri expert in mule breed
ing, giving evidence before the Kan
sas State Board OF Agriculture, said:
Tell me when the farmers in the
United States are going to quit
growing corn, wheat, oats and hay
and when the planters in the south
are going to quit growing cotton,
sugar cane and rice; when the lum-
bermen are going TO quit cutting
lumber; when the coal will all be
taken out of the earth, and when
the railroad building will stop-then
will tell you when the mule will
get so cheap the farmer cannot at
ford to raise him"
or course. good times do not last
forever. 1t is fairly evident from the
figures We have quoted that there
was so little money in raising mules
to say nothing Of horses, between
1895 and 1900 that the numbers fell
of in each case, although doubtless
there was more money in raising a
mule at Sal than a horse at $32. II
should be remembered that since
that time we have had the longest
period in our history Of unbroken
agricultural prosperity. We cannot
expect this TO go on indefinitely.
Between 1886 and 1897 the value
of the mule dropped 4s per cent. and
that OF the horse So per cent, where
again the humber animal had the ad.

MULES AND HORSES

Not merely for his work, his in

value, the mule is worth more than

difficult TO demonstrate this. The
comparative figures of the Depart OF

Dear Dad: on orders from Post
master,General Hitchcock. clerks In

been active In attempting to form a
union, have been discharged. Other
clerks have been given the third de-
gree and warned. There will be some
startling facts brought before con-

ready TO report.
Victor Berger, the new Socialist
congressman from Milwaukee, Is Kept
busy denying that the Mexican revo-
lutionists are Socialists. Whenever a
standpat congressman or senator
wishes to speak slightingly OF the
Mexican revolutionists he describes
them as Socialists.
The Arizona constitution, with It's
recall OF judges. is still stumbling
block to President Taft Congress
man Flood OF the house territorial
committee thought he could remove
the stumbling block. He proposed TO
introduce a resolution which would
relieve President Taft OF the present
law requiring executive approval OF
the Arizona constitution. Now Presi'

ton II amounts TO the same thing as
signing the constitution. AS ne

he doesn't see how he can approve
OF the resolution. so II looks ike q
