AS soon as the steamer Manchuria,
bringing Governor general and Mrs.

the distinguished party-member. The

was satisfactorily explained, 1t being
shown that such complaints originat-
ed entirely with those who we're dis
pleased by his rulings.
In compliance with the presidents
request the statement prepared by
Mr. Pinkham was at once transmitted
to him by Senator Shafroth. It was
read by the president and compared
with the complaints and charges on
file.
Mr.. Pinkham's answer will form the
basis OF whatever action is taken by
the president. If not convinced or
persuaded the president may with
draw the nomination and thus close
the controversy on that point. If sat
isfied that Mr.. Pinkham is right and
his enemies wrong, the president will
simply inform Senator Shafroth that
the appointment will stand and urge
him to do the best possible in the di-
rection of securing confirmation. The
entire future outcome of the matter
will rest with the committee after
that time.
The statement made by Mr.. Pinkham
for the benefit of President Wilson
will not prevent him from having a
formal hearing before the committee
in the event that his nomination
stands In addition to the written
communication he will have an oppor-
tunity to appear in person and Fer-
bally answer his critics.
The committee, in turn, may deter
mine to hear other witnesses and
examine them regarding some of the
points in dispute. 1t will conduct its
without reference to
what concluson the president has
reached unless he actually withdraws
the nomination, thus stopping all ac-.
ton. Otherwise. the committee viii
follow its own course until q formal
vote is taken on the question of re-
jecting the appointment or submitting
a favorable report to the senate.

PROFIT Il! ZIG MULES.
Growing Demand For Animals Pro-
duced From Draft Mares.

Growing Demand For Animals Pro-
duced From Draft Mares.
Raising mules for a definite purpose
Offers an excellent opportunity to the
man who will give the business the at
tpution it deserves. says the National
Stockman. Not so many years ago the
raising Of mules was Il sipShod indus
try most of them coming from in
ferior mares that failed to produce
good horse colts or that were bred on
the not much to lose plan by indifer-
ent owners or late years. however,
better mares have been sent to jacks.
and as II Result we have better mules
today than ever before. Mules ill.,
creased faster in va ne during the dec
ade 190O-1910 than did horses.
To produce good mules it is neces-
sary to get away from the old idea
that the meaner and the smaller ii
mule the tougher. Mules that are top
ping the market today come from
strictly high class mares of good size.
The big draft mare produces an excel
lent heavy mule, and the Loo pound
standard bred mare produces mule
well liked by many because of his high
quality. The mules reputation is based
to q considerable extent on his stamina
and long wearing qualities. Therefore
high finish. which is generally consid
cred as an indication of quality. Is OF
great Importance in a mule. He gets
his indications Of high quality largely
from his dam and from his feed. 1t
takes big jack to get big mules from
any mare. He should be the best OBJ
tainabe
There is no reason why the next few
years should not see as great an in
crease in the mule industry as has the
past decade. OF course we can never
have ms many mules as horses nor
even half as many because of the way
in which mules are produced But we
can and should have many more. For
an unskilled and careless teamSter they
beat horse every way They are not
naturally mean or stubborn or vicious.
The bad ones are made so by careless
or no training. They don't get hurt
Every mule is a worker and tit for
work all the time Thus they are pop
ular and growing in popularity all the
time.
