The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1912-05-24

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.
q 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"-W. E. E., Kentucky
ON large farms where there is
steady work and lots of it, I have
found the mules the most profitable.
They can do certain amount of work
at 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 we'll,
Mules are ready for work six days Of
the week and fifty-two weeks in the
year. and are all the better for it.
There is prejudice against mules
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1912-05-24
CAMPAIGN IS HAVING EFFECT
Already the Death Rate From TubeH
cuosls Is Showing Gratifying
Decrease.

In certain cities, such as New York,
Boston, Cleveland and Chicago, and
in states like Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land and Connecticut, the decline In
the death rate from tuberculosis Is
more marked than in the country az
large, which declined 1877 per cent. in
the ten years from 1901 to 1910. The
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis says that
there are many factors working to-,
gether to cause the decline in the tn.
berculosis death rate, such factors as
the change in the character of our ur-
ban population, increased sanitation,
and better housing, but probably as
potent factor as any has been the ma
ton wide anti-tuberculosis campaign.
1T may be foretold with considerable
certainty" the association says, that
when the effects of the present rapid
ly increasing provision for the care Of
tuberculosis patients shall have be-
come evident, the decline in the death
rate from consumption in the coming
decade will be even more marked than
that in the last one"
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1912-05-24

on the farm He is tougher, stands
the heat and hard work better; he is
not so susceptible to disease as a
horse. l know mules which, in plow-
ing in a garden will step over hills
Of potatoes or other vegetables with
as much care as the gardener would
ask. | never saw a horse that would
try to avoid stepping on a hill, and
in some instances they seem to make
point of trampling down everything
in reach OF their big feet.'-L. w. C.,
Tennessee.
"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 overlooking 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 a few years ago, fully
attests. H c. S, Kansas.
Forty years experience with mules
has satisfied me that they will not
compare, in a 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 a large scale, and animals
are kept solely for farm work, and
not for alternate work and driving to
buggy, l prefer the mule to horses.
Mules endure a 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 housekeeping habits,
which make Il easy 10 work small
plants IN narrow rows without dam
age As to feeding. while a mule will
keep at work on coarser food than a
horse, I have never found that hard
worked mule team would keep in fine
condition on less than a 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. w. F. NJ,
North Carolina.

GIVE CHICKENS
BEST OF CARE
Eirds of All Ages Should Be Ex-
anined During the Hot
Months for Little
Mites and Lice.
CBy NJ. 3. BERNARD)

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.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1912-05-24
Care of Stations.

A stallion shut up in dark stall
without the companionship of other
horses often becomes moody and saw
age. Some English stallioners ride a
pony while leading their horses for
exercise, and the horses become so at.
tached to the ponies that they become
fretful and uneasy when they are not
near. At night the ponies are given a
stall next to the horses OF course,
some horses are too savage in nature
to permit their being led in company
of a pony, but if broken to this treat
ment when young stations can be
handled in this way.

COVERING WALLS
WITH WISTARIA
Common Purple Variety Is Best
Adapted to Hide Great
Vacant Spaces
Needs Pruning.
(By WALTER 3. LEUTz)

We seldom see great wall spaces
covered with wistaria, yet it is to
our eye the most beautiful flower for
that purpose 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 it
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.
The wall is about seventy feet high
and is one soft mass Of ravishing
beauty In this climate the vine needs
no attention after it has once been
well started, and blooms early and
late.

EUROPEAN SEED
POTATOES BAD
Foreign Grown Varieties Should
Not Be Used on Account
of Several Known
Diseases.

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
secretary 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-
ducing 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

coming to this country at the present
time are late sorts and are not adapt
ed to planting in the south, where
early potatoes are the main crop,
neither. are they adapted to planting
at the north, for they will not produce
satisfactory yield.
They are not adapted to our soils
or to our climate, and will not yield
profitable crops; but the danger OF
introducing diseases not now present
is sufficient reason for refusing to
plant them.
