ing In garden will step over hills
of potatoes or other vegetables with
as much care as the gardener would

try to avoid stepping on a hill, and
in some instances they seem to make
a point Of tramplIng down everything

"Our experience with mules leads
us to believe they are harder than
horses; they are seldom sick, their
shoulders hardly ever become sore and
they are more easily taught what Is
expected Of them. We have never yet
known of mule being injured in any
respect from over-feeding. They
know when to quit eating. For steady
work and hard knocks we prefer the
mule every time The farmers of the
west are beginning to appreciate them
at their true value, as the number OF
mule teams now in use, compared TO
what there was few years ago, fully
attests"-H. C. s., Kansas.
Forty years experience with mules
has satisfied me that they will not
compare, in financial way, with
horses, not being adapted to saddle or
carriage. nor will they bring any In
crease, as a horse does. They are mis-
chievous, breachy and will often kill
young stock If turned In with them on
pasture. A farmer Of moderate means
should keep horses every time. H.
NJ, Illinois.
Where farming operations are car
ried on on large scale, and animals
are kept solely for farm work, and
not for alternate work and driving to
buggy, / prefer the mule to horses.
Mules endure warm climate better
than horses, largely because they DO
not over-feed or over-exert themselves
in hot weather. No animal can take
the place Of the mule in the south.
The mule is very valuable In garden
work, from his close-stepping habits,
which make It easy to work small
plants in narrow rows without dam
age. As to feeding, while a mule Will
keep at work on coarser food than
horse, l have never found that hard
worked mule team would keep in fine
condition on less than similar team
of horses. Never buy long-legged
mule. A big, "gangling," long-legged
mule Is the meanest "critter" on earth.
Whether heavy or light, see to it that
he is compactly built F. M,

The following letters have been re-
ceived from farmers located in various
sections Of the country on the merits
and dement's of the mule and the
horse.
II have had thirty years experience
in working horses and mules on a to-
bacco, wheat and corn farm, and l
prefer the mules. Their feet are
smaller and they injure very little Of
the tobacco and corn; they are less
liable to disease, less fastidious in APP
petite, will endure greater hardships,
are longer-lived, and worry the plow-
man less, as they are more steady.
Not one horse is used for farm work
to ten mules, in this section of the
country E. E., Kentucky.
ION large farms where there is
steady work and lots of it, have
found the mules the most profitable.
They can do certain amount of work
at a less expense for feed, are tougher,
and, in proportion to weight, stronger
than horses. While they stand neglect
and ill-treatment better than horses,
they appreciate kindness Just as well.
Mules are ready for work six days of
the week and fifty-two weeks in the
year, and are all the better for 1t.
There is prejudice against mules

MARGIN OF PROFIT AND LOSS
Record Of the Cost Of Production and
Sales Will Determine Whether
Hens Are Paying.

A flock Of hens should be made to
pay a good dividend on the invest
ment. If they do not do this there is
something radically wrong some
where along the line.
If you have kept a record the
cost of production and the sales you
will be able to tell whether or not
your hens are paying. Hens that are
laying an average Of so or so per cent.
are doing well and will make good
showing on the right side Of the cash
book. Any averages above that will
be SO much more gain and will more
than justify keeping the birds.
If they fall way below this mark
you better investigate and find out
the cause of the trouble. It may be
that you have poor strain Of birds,
that you are not feeding the right
kinds of foods or in sufficient guam
titles, or that you are not giving them
the proper attention that they must
have in order to be great producers.

SEED
POTATOES BAD
Foreign Grown Varieties Should
Not BE Used on Account
of Several Known
Disease.

Although homegrown seed pota-
toes are selling at high prices, foreign
grown potatoes should not be substi-
tuted for them. The following state
ment ON the danger to the American
potato crop from the use of imported
seed potatoes has been issued by the
fecretary of agriculture:
Europe has several potato diseases
not now known to exist In this coun-
try. which, If introduced, might be the
means Of greatly reducing our annual
yield OF potatoes. Should these dis
eases become prevalent throughout
the United States, the cost of pro
aucing future crops might be very
greatly increased.
Do not, therefore. under any cir
cumstances, use foreign-grown pota-
toes for seed either at the north or

Birds OF All Ages Should BE Elk
amined During the Hot
Months for Little
Mites and Lice.
CIV N. B. -BERNARp.l

All the old birds. and young, too,
hould be examined frequently during
the hot months because then it is
that the lice and mites thrive.
If cut bone or chopped meat is fed
during the summer extra precautions
must be taken to have it perfectly
fresh.
Many birds die from eating bone
and meat scraps which have been al
lowed to lie around exposed to the
heat and the flies
In feeding chickens, always remem-
Der that they are provided for to pro-
duce fresh eggs for human feed and
therefore their own feed should be
just as pure as that we eat ourselves.
The hot sun will cause young Cos
lings and ducklings as well to topple
over and die. Provide shade for them
until they are strong on their pegs.

COVERING WALLS

our eye the most beautiful flower for
thatApurpose that grows.
The japanese wistaria is not so
well adapted to this purpose as the
common royal purple flower of Amer
lea. To get the best results the vine
must be constantly pruned and kept
back for two or three years, else 1t
will run in long streamers and the
flowers will hang straight down. The
vines must be trained to run In all
directions.
We can never forget the wall of a
large old house in Richmond, Va, that
is covered with this beautiful flower.

and is one soft mass Of ravishing
beauty In this climate the vine needs
