The liquor traffic is in direct antag-
onism with every enterprise of pro-
ductive industry. Every merchant
knows too well that in proportion as
a man spends his money for liquor he
is an Improbable customer to the
tailor, the shoemaker, the landlord and
the farmer. And precisely the opposite
is true of every legitimate business
In proportion as man spends his
earnings in shoes, or clothing, or
books, so is he. as rule, good and
profitable customer to the merchant
and the farmer. All capital, therefore.

Of work in which horses cannot be

capacity for hard labor, in endurance,
in length of life. in freedom from dis
ease and in economy of feeding.
In an emergency mules may be
worked for twenty-four hours without
water and for two or three days with
out food. The injurious results OF
such treatment are much less serious
than in the case of horses. Digestive
disturbances are less frequent in
mules than in horses, and in general,
with the exception of CHAMBERS, mules
are comparatively less subject to dis
ease than horses.
Mules are especially adapted for
use in mining, and as beasts of bur-

latter purpose, also. the western burro

#Fsu SMALL STORES BOOMING.
Certain Retailers Have Not Been Injured by Great
Enterprises.

When, a while ago. the great stores had so
Increased In size and in the multiplicity OF things
they dealt in that they could supply about every
human requirement" said city dweller, some
people thought that the day of the small store
keeper was over that the little storekeeper
couldn't compete with the big one, but the small
store Is still doing business. / see now many
of them il not more than ever before; and at
this, at first, I wondered but don't wonder so
much now. since our baby came.
"Of course I don't refer here to grocery stores
and butcher shops and various smaller stores fur
nishing food supplies, which must always re-
main everywhere; am speaking of those other
many smaller stores, supplying dry goods and
fancy goods and hardware and housefurnishings.
These are the little stores that were to be put
out Of business, but which do not seem to have
this? I'll tell you.
"The mother with a young child whether she
is with without servants. sticks pretty close
to home, the better to look after the babys well
fare For her minor shopping, anyway. she
doesn't go far. She finds that in her neighbor-
hood there are many little shops where they sell
many things. and If she finds these places to be
nice little shops where they keep nice things SCI
lected with taste and judgment, she keeps on
buying there steadily.
There are thousands Of such shoppers scat
tered everywhere about the city making business
for the neighborhood shopkeeper. The great
stores do great business, whose vast volume an
nualIy increases. but there appears still to be
room for the little storekeeper too. II he viii

horses.
The economy OF feeding mules
makes their employment in sugar and
cotton raising almost universal; In
fact, 1t may be doubted, under pres
ent conditions, whether these indus
tries would be possible II all the la
Dor which Is now done by mules had
to be performed by horses. In the
southern states two types Of mules
have received special names on ac-
count Of their connection with these
industries. The sugar mule Is larger,
more powerful and more valuable
than the cotton mule, which Is the
smaller. cheaper type. These types
are governed according to the re-
cuirements placed upon the animal
the work in the sugar field being
harder than that in the cotton field.
AS draft animals and for general
work purposes mules excel horses in
several respects. They are capable
of more continuous application at
heavy work, under unfavorable condi-
tons. Although they may often be
less tractable, they are also less ex-
citable, and therefore more desir-
able for work in situations where un-
steady movements or plunging would
be dangerous to the draft animals
and to the machinery and attendants
The color which is most desired in
mules is dark brown or black, and in
11n lrc ND r1n
are selected with reference to the
probability of securing these colors
in the mules.
Mules require essentially the same
general care and management as
horses. They should be weaned at
about four months of age. and the
subsequent feeding should be gov
erned according to the purpose for
which the mules are being raised.
The market requirements for mules
are that they should be fat, and at
tention should therefore be given to
this point in order to bring them to a
fat condition coon sitter they are two
years old
In the southern states it is well to
begin the fatteDshg process. in No
vember before the animals become
two years of age. They may be fed
dozen ears of corn per day and an
abundance of clever or timothy hay
until the following April. The mules
may then be turned out upon clover
pasture and the quantity of grain may
be increased. AS soon as the clover ia
cut feeding with clover hay may be
should be continued in the ration.
The animals should have free access
to water and salt Shelled oats and
bran are regarded by many mule
raisers as essential to the proper
finishing of mules for market With
sugar mules this process of feeding
should bring the animals to a weight
of from 1900 to 1850 pounds when
they are just past two years of age.
The same care and attention should
be given to the feeding of cotton
mules, except that the process should
begin later, usylally after the animals
are just past the, second year.
II comparative experiments with
mules and horses it was found that
the mule did about one-third more
work than the horse, ate less corn,
more stover and required more water.
A prominent mule raiser states that
as result of experiments extending
over a period of rs years, three mules
may be expected to consume about
as much as two horses, and to re-
main in better condition than the
horses, although doing the same
amount of work
