Panama Canal Not Endangered b,
Landfalls, Says New Yorker.

New York, Oct. THE frequent re-
ports Of landslides along the route of
the Panama Canal need not cause any
alarm regarding the safety or per-
manency of the canal. Authority for
this statement is Prof William H. Burr.
head of the school OF engineering of
Columbia University. AS one of the
consulting engineers for the govern
ment he became familiar with the canal.
Although he has not visited It in some
time and he has received no details of
the reported slide, Prof. Burr Is conf
dent that their importance has been ex-
aggerated.

point on the average under the closing
prices of the previous session in New

Wall Street take the Balkan situation
seriously.
The fact that America is in position to
draw gold from Europe in the face Of
the heavy selling of securities proves
the tremendous strength of the financial
position of the United States. The stocks
sold by Europe this week have furnished
an Offset of SIC, 600 at least against the
gold movement 1t can be seen from this
that the moment the Balkan disturbance
is quilted down America will be able TO
draw gold in great volumes, and can con-
tinue to do so unless Europeans buy
back their stocks.
y Bear Party Active.
The bear party in the stock market
took advantage of to-day's unsettlement
to circulate stories of heavy liquidation
by important interests. Attention was
drawn again to the possibilities of
political scares, to the high rate for
money, the forthcoming decisions in the
Supreme Court on the coal cases and
the rate cases, and on the Union Pacific
ownership of Southern Pacific The pos
sibility of decision in favor of an ad
vanced wage scale for railroad employees
was also emphasized The careful OBJ

fact that the buying of Steel and New

to the markets OF Rome until he was SO
years of age, tur1ed out as too old 10
follow his daily labor and this aged, bur
faithful beast declined TO be shelved
but insisted upon making the regular
trip to the market place although free
and unloaded, falling in line as the
other beasts of burden began their
journey.
The writer recalls a mule SO years
of age that did her daily tasks on
large southern plant ati0n along with
other mules varying from 20 to 25
years younger.
II may be safely asserter that a mule
will last as long as it's teeth and it ~
only when, from advanced age, their
grinders fail TO allow them TO thorough
" masticate their food that their daily
usefulness ceases.
Their immunity from accident and
disease is proverbial and so true is this
that il is seldom that one ever hears OF
a mule being seriously injured unless by
gross carelessness or neglect.
They are not subject supposedly to
CHAMBERS or farcy, the two most fatai
diseases of horses. The conformation
and texture of their hoofs renders them
much less liable to lameness than
horses and when used regularly on the
farm and even occasionally on the road,
they will not require shoes.
Another thing in their favor is that
they can be stabbed without halterinS;
a stable Of 90 head OF mules turned
loose will not give the trouble of THREE
horses turned loose. as the former will
not fight but will live peaceably togetn-
er as a visit to any big sale stable viii
prove as here the mules are always kept
in pens, free and turned loose, while
each horse is battered in his stall.
In feeding mules it may be well 10
remember that they will keep fat ca
about three-fourths the allowance OF a
horse of the same weight, that they will
eat up roughage and that their grain ra-
ton will only be about two-thirds that
of horse.
When it comes to daily care and aV
tention. the mule will live where the
horse will soon die.
These Iarge-eared friends are also
more sure footed than the horse, resist
heat and flies better and do not chafe
so easily.
The objection many farmers raise to
the use of mules is that they do not
breed, that they are stubborn, often VI
cious and that they are entirely insult
ed to pleasure purr oses.
Those objections are worthy consider
alton but the many good qualities or
these sturdy beasts seem to more than
onset them.
From a commercial standpoint il may
be well to remember that pair of year
old mules, well matched, we'll broken
and well grown, say weighing LOO to
1900 each. will bring from $3.50 to $500.
Now il takes a mighty good class ~
farm horse to bring such price. More
mules should be raised by the farmers
all over the country. Breed your heavy
set farm horse mares to a good-sized,
stylish jack and when your ',olts come
take care Of them and they will prove
to be about the most profitable stock
on the place. either to work or TO sell.
You will find them easier to raise,
easier to break and cheaper TO keep than
horse colJs. And. when yDu want TO
dispose Of them they are always in de-

MULES ON
THE FARM
By ]. n. BELL, VIRGINIA.

For generations the mule has been
used exclusively on the farm in the
south They seem not to be in favor to
so great an extent on the farms in the
north and west. This seems pity a.
the l,0OO-pound mule will do as much
work. live on less and last longer at
hard work. than the 1,2OO-pound horse.
There is an old saying in the south to
this effect: Two sets Of mules VIII
stance, a farmer starting out at q
years of age buys a team of mules ,
years old. They are ready to go &c
work -Four or five years Of age might
be better. but at years they are capa-
bic OF doing steady farm or road work
IN properly cared fer.
The writer has known them to be put
TO regular work at IL years Of age
and kept at il until they had crossed
the quarter century mark.
But TO get back 10 the young farmer.
He starts out at Il years of age with
his team OF 3-year-Old mules. For 20
years. or possibly with care, % years.
they will do good work At the end Of
that time they will, at the present price,
II fat and sleek, bring from $50 TO S7s
each.
The farmer is now 81 years Of age.
He buys another set OF mules they last
him IS years. BY this time the owner
is - years and probably through with
the daily struggle for existence, in fact
Is IN q position TO rest on his oars"
a the saying is. leaving tn a servant
no doubt the management OF the farm.
The longevity OF the mule has been a
well established fact for so long that
like the common law. the memory %
man knoweth not -. ne contrary.
Pliny, in his TsIirrngs. mentions the
mule tha- had been used TO carry grain
