IMPORTANCE OF MULE
Industry Has Received Especial
Impetus in Recent Years.
Large-Sized, Well Proportioned and
Strongly Built Animals Are Elk
tremeiy Valuable Asset
Excel in Rough Work.

The mule industry in the United
States is of great Importance and has
received especial impetus during
recent years on account of the Span
tsh-American and South African wars.
When the British army sent its agents
to the western continent to buy mules
they established distributing center
at Lathrop, Missouri, and from this
point were sent out $4,000 mules.
These mules, after serving throughout
the Boer war, are now one of the most
important factors in developing the
agriculture of that region.
The states in which the largest
numbers of mules are bred are Mis-
souri,, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Arkansas, Kansas, and in general the
southern and central states, The mar
ket prices of mules are uniformly

accommodate 40 cows and leave space
for two passageways. But, in a
rectangular barn only three feet four
inches platform space need be allowed
for each COW and the 7S1s-foot barn,
with two three-foot passageways
across 1t for convenience in feeding,
will accommodate AZ COWS. While the
rectangular barn has stall-room for two
more COWS, the round barn contains
space in the center for silo 10 feet
in diameter.
The complete bills for materials for
these barns show the exact saving In
lumber on the 60-foot round barn over
the plank and mortise frame rectan-
gular barns. 36x7S1a feet
The lumber bills of the rectangular
barn show an increase in cost of 20
per cent for the plank frame and 81
per cent for the mortise frame. The
round barn, go feet in diameter, con-
tains 1881, and the rectangular barn
225 lineal feet of wall
The 90-foot round barn would hold
100 cows in two rows, headed together,
65 of which would be in the outer
circle and have three feet six inches
each in width at the gutter. This
leaves sufficient room for feed alleys
and walks and two passageways, one
three feet and the other seven feet
wide for the manure and feed carrier.
All of this is outside of the central
space for a silo 20 feet in diameter
and n feet high with capacity of
$40 tons of silage and In the NOW
there would still be an excess above
the capacity of the rectangular barn
OF $4,000 cubic feet, which would hold
&c tons Of hay or as much as the en-
tire NOW Of barn 32x36 feet with
20-foot posts.
In the final summing up of the cost
Of all the material for the completed
dairy barns with silos show the saw
ing from "a to So per cent in favor
of the round barn and silo, or an act
ual money saving Of from 1919 to ST.
1874, depending upon the size and con-
struction of the barn
Thoughtless men go on building rect
angular barns, but what would this
reckless disregard of possible saw
ing of "a to So per cent mean in a
years business on the farm? If the
dairymen discarded the idea of a
rectangular barn and built round
barn instead, with the money thus
saved he could buy one of the best
pure bred sires for his herd, and also
from three to ten pure-bred heifers
or fine-grade cows. Either of these
purchases might double the profit of
the herd. or this saving properly ap-
piled, would purchase many labor-sav-
ing devices, which would make life
less of drudgery on many dairy
farms

ROUND DAIRY STABLE
In Many Respects More Desir-
able Than Other Styles.
Among Other Things Has Special Ad-
vantage in Work of Distributing
Silage to Cows-circular Con-
structIon Strongest.
fBy w. ]. FRASER

The round barn has special ad-
vantage in the work of distributing
silage to the COWS. Feeding com
nences at the chute where it is thrown
down and continued around the circle
ending with the silage cart at chute
again ready for the next feeding.
The same is true in feeding hay and
grain
Another great advantage is the
large, unobstructed haymow With
the self-supporting roof there are no
timbers whatever obstructing the
NOW, which means no dragging of
hay around or over posts or Orders.
The hay carrier runs on circular
track around the NOV, midway be-
:ween the silo and the outside wall
and drops the hay at any desired
point, which means the saving of
much labor.
The circular construction is the
strongest because it takes advantage
Of the lineal instead of the breaking
strength of the lumber. Each row of
boards running around the barn forms
hoop that holds the barn together
Any piece of timber is many times
stronger on 1ineal pull than on a
breaking stress
All exposed surfaces of round barn
are circular, as both the sides and
roof are arched, which is the strong

acres of such tobacco worth So ,000..
O0D) We're grown under shade in the
Connecticut valley. The Cuban bulk
method of fermenting has been suc-
cessfully introduced into northern
cigar-tobacco districts, resulting in q
more uniform and better product
Substantial improvements in the
methods of curing are now being in.
troduced, notably in the use Of arti-
fetal heat in curing cigar tobaccos.
thus eliminating the loss from pole
sweat. Poor burning quality In cigar
tobaccos renders them Of little
value. This subject has been thor
oughly investigated and the principal
influencing factors have been worked
cut.
Satisfactory methods have been de-
vised for controlling most Of the I'M
portant insects that attack tobacco.
particularly those damaging the crop
during the growing period. Tobacco
Is also subject to number of de-
structive maladies such as the Mo-
sale disease, which occurs throughout
the world, and the root-rot. The il
lustration shows a tobacco worm.
Rural Retreat times. [volume] (Rural Retreat, Va.) 1892-1918, 1912-12-06

Although the average annual pro-
duction of tobacco in the United
States reaches nearly one billion
pounds for which the farmer receives
about s10O,0O0,000. the net profit to
the farmer is much smaller than it
should be. Among the principal
causes for small profits from such an
important crop are failure to follow
sound cultural methods, use of I'M
adapted varieties or strains, damage
nv insects and diseases, and imper-
feet knowledge of the principles that
apply to the processes of curing, fer
menting and handling the leaf To
remedy these conditions the Depart
ment of Agriculture in 1898 began to
investigate the improvement of to-
bacco production.
Efforts to introduce the growing of
a high-grade cigar filler leaf from Gu
ban seed in the southern states have
demonstrated that this industry can
be made a success. A satisfactory
substitute for the imported Sumatra
wrapper leaf has resulted by growing
Sumatra and Cuban types under arti-
acial shade, and In 1911 over 2,00e

higher than those for horses, and as
a result of these conditions the rails
ing of mules under favorable condi-
tions Is a very profitable industry
Mules may be used for all purposes
for which horses are suited, and in ad-
dition are well adapted to several lines
of work in which horses cannot be
employed. Mules excel horses in their
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.
den for packing purposes. For the
latter purpose, also, the western burro
are well adapted; these animals
though diminutive in size as compared
with the horse, will carry as much

A good draft horse does not fuctu-
ate much in value.
Better to have the team matched
in power and endurance than in the
matter of color
Even hogs like variety of feed,
and they will do better in every way
If they can get it.
There is nothing better than ground
charcoal to correct slight bowel
trouble in chickens
Lameness among fowls that are fat
and heavy is often caused by the
roosts being too high.
Nothing ever came so near turning
December into June for dairy cattle
and sheep as the silo.
Feed the horse regularly and liked
rations otherwise there will be sure
TO be indigestion troubles.
Never leave horse in the wind
after he has been driven hard with
out rubbing his feet and legs dry.
When the hens begin to climb trees
to roost it is time to look to the ven
ttlation and cleanliness of the houses.
Cypress is said to be the best ma
terial for wooden silo, as 1t possesses
unusual weather and water resisting
qualities.
A perforated dust can is just as nee
essary in the poultry house as the
sprayer il the fowls are to be kept
free from insects.
Water the horse before you feed
him. The water will rapidly leave
the stomach and the gastric juices
will have full play.
Where farmer Is starting on o
new farm where there are only few
acres broken, nothing pays better
than cows and hogs.
Once more. do not feed the young
chicks a, particle of anything for at
least Sc hours after they are Matched.
Early feeding means disease and
death
Don't forget that the hogs can be
over-fed Overlooking the porkers is
an easy matter and the excess of feed
leads to diseases of the blood liver
and bowels.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

When hanging out clothes this win
ter, have bag made from an old lace
curtain to hold the small pieces like
delicate collars, fine handkerchiefs
and center pieces. They will not be
lost and will dry quite well in the
bag.
Bags of old curtains are also useful
to hold lettuce after washing Hang
