MULE IS OF MORE
VALUE THAN HORSE
II Properly Broken, Animals Ex-
eel Horses for General Farm
Work-EatS Less.

Mules can be worked when three
years old, though they do not reach
their maturity until seven years Of age.
Their temper, health and usefulness
depend very much on the manner Of
breaking them. says q writer In the
Baltimore American. The so-called
stubbornness an obstinacy Of the mule
arises chiefly from the abuse heds wont
to receive when young. He seldom. II
ever, bites or kocks those who treat
him kindly.
The mule can do more work and
needs less grain than the horse, he IL
less liable to disease and RECEIVERS
from sickness and injury quicker than
a horse. He works better when old
and holds out longer. He seldom
takes fright or runs away. For heavy
hauling and In making up spans select
those of 15 to i5h hands high. Those
of similar dispositions should be chos-
en- and put together, SO they will work
together with q will. For working
small crops In the garden, for any
kind Of farm work. the mule will be
found much the most economical work
animal to own. One pair Of medium
sized mules can be kept on less grain
than a pair Of the same sized horses;
they do not need SO much grain. Nearly
all our truckers use mules. We have
for number of years used mules ex-
clusively on our farms. For teaming
the mule is the animal to have.
For culuvating vegetables in mar
row rows the small mule weighing un-
der 1000 pounds should be chosen.
Mules are high in price this season.
n pair of medium sized young broken
mules Ia worth $3.50 to $500. Small
truck mules may be had for $3.50 per
Span.

put on the market. II will depend.
too upon the kind of feed that is be-
ing grown. In my opinion. corn is
about the best feed that can be given
the hogs on the average farm.
Hog raising ought TO be as much a
part of the regular farming opera
tons as the growing of crops. the
rearing OF cattle and the handling Of
meadows. Unless conditions are un-
usual hog farm is hardly likely to
pay. But-the hog should be part
Of the regular production of any and
all farms where crops OF n feeding
value are grown. We ought to grow
all the porkers that can be economi-
cally grown and fed.
The hog is a mortgage-lifter and a
bankroll tattener In these later
years. The profits In his carcass may
be reached by any man having a few
or many acres. The slow spread OF
the breeding of better hogs Is bound
to make the business more profitable
In the future.
against the better breeds OF hogs is
that they are not altogether suited to
the conditions on. the average farm.
Il Is urged that the better-class hop
has grown under more favorable ar
engagements and that he is inferior
to the nondescript in not being abb,
to take care OF himself. That Is a
mistake. In the first place any hog
that is profitable must be given
proper sheltering, pasturage and ra-
lions. II the change is gradual
the objection will not be true in any
case.
by getting n good boar, say pure
bred Berkshire, putting him at the
head of the herd. this can be proven.
1t is possible to get good boar with
out sending 500 or 1000 miles for
him. Usually he can be secured pref
ty close to home, and he Is already
acclimated. A pure-bred boar. used
with a herd OF ordinary brood sows.
will boost the meat production OF the
farm by about one-third and the fat
tening will not require an ear more or
corn or a pound more of slops in his
feed.
We ought to get rid Of the razor
back type that eat more corn without
results than do the animals that have
been bred for generations with the
idea Of turning out an animal that
can turn every grain to profit. While
blue-ribbon types are not adapted to
ordinary farm conditions. the hog
with the breeding back of him will pay

SPRAY TO PREVENT
BLIGHT OF POTATO
Disease Is Most Destructive in
July and August-Amount
Required Per Acre.

Early potato blight is liable to at
tack the potato crop at any time from
June until the crop is ripe, but Is
most seriously destructive in July
and August 1t attacks the foliage.
Professor Kohler of the Minnesota
experiment station doubts IL it will be
profitable to spray early paintings OF
early varieties.
II, however. others desire to do so
he advises spraying when plants are
small, and a continuance of the treat
ment every ten days until at least
ten per cent of the leaf surface is
dying, when II will be useless to
spray longer. In rainy weather spray
ing should be more frequent. Twenty
five to 35 gallons Of Bordeaux per acre
will be required for the treatment
when the plants are small. and as they
advance in growth the amount will
need increasing to so. 60 or rs gal
Ions per acre.
Spraying for early blight on late
varieties OF the Rural New Yorker
type of potatoes has proved profit
able at the Minnesota station. Spray
ing late varieties Of the Rural New
Yorker type may be delayed until the
earliest planting of early varieties in
the locality shows signs of the pres
ence of the disease, when spraying
should be Immediately applied at the
rate of 60 to rs gallons of Bordeaux
per acre followed with spraying of
an equal amount every ten days in
good weather In rainy weather spray
more frequently.

have never clearly understood why
most farmers are opposed to getting
rid OF the mongrel breed Of swine and
getting hold OF a better. bigger. thrift
Ter animal. The hog flesh that Is
capable Of turning corn aud Stops and
good pasture grasses into pork quick
ly Is the variety every man OF us
needs.
There is shortage OF meats that is
world wide at the present time,
says a writer In the Farm Progress.
Prices are good. they may or may not
be higher. 1t is time for the farm
or to take a greater advantage of his
opportunities In the way OF meat
production.
In this connection II may as well be
understood that the man who buys
his hogs and his feed will not make
a great deal on the transaction. The
first consideration OF the hog raiser
is to grow his own feed. Breeding his
own animals Is the second.
Get rid OF the rundown, worn-out
breeds II you have hogs of that char
acter. To make money on porkers
grow the 200. 900 and 400 pound
animals. Stringy, razorbacked, rangy
animals will eat as much corn as the
more compact hogs that turn corn
and slops into money.
The boar Is a big consideration. Get
n hood one for yourself or IL this Is
impossible buy one in partnership
with one or two of your neighbors
Then wait for results before giving
up the project and slipping back into
the old way, Pick out the best sows
you have. buy a few more II neces-
sary, and give some consideration to
pasturage. Keep the boar and the
brood sows and the young pigs out Of
the horse lot and give them a chance
to grow.
Dry lots, wood pastures, close pens
keeping the hog where a profit Is to
be expected. Twenty years ago there
were men In this community who
made great deal Of money from
mast-fed hogs. That was before the
days of the stock law" and there was
much timber. Now the timber is pref
ty well gone. but some men still ex-
poct to partially fatten their hogs by
allowing them to run in woods pas
lures during the late fall.
A certain part Of the farm will have
to be set aside for the production OF
success. The number Of acres re-
quired will. Of couse, depend upon

fifty years ago this year fraterniZed

federates at Peachtree Creek. Ca,
when he was one of Sherman's army
on the celebrated march to the sea.
He was being conveyed to the rear
by a confederate soldier when the
union batteries opened fire upon the
party among whom he was pris-
oner. The man who was guarding
Munsee was hit and fell, knocking
Munsee down and lying on top of
him.

Here is a story which was told by
A. T. Dice, vice-president Of the Read
ing railway:
Once upon a time there were a vet
eran In gray and q veteran In blue
They came to Gettysburg and In the
course OF events and visits to hotels
they happened to meet. They looked
over the sights Of Gettysburg and the
monuments of the field. But they
found they must part.
The one in blue lived in Oregon;
the one In gray In New Orleans. They
went weeping together to their sta
ton and passed by train after train
deferring the parting that must come
Just what they said. just how they
reached the final grand idea OF the
meeting. Mr.. Dice did not know.
But. however. yesterday they finally
decided that the time for parting had
come. The one from Oregon could
not figure how to reach home via New
Orleans and his gray comrade. while
willing to see the west, didn't have
the money for ticket.
They lined upon on the platform as
their trains stood waiting and then
before the crowd, they slowly stripped
off their uniforms and exchanged
them there while the curious flocked
to see them.
The Oregonian who came proudly to
town with a coat Of blue, went as
proudly away with one OF gray and
the veteran from Louisiana who boast
ed the gray OF the south sat with
swelling chest in his new uniform OF
blue.

financial affairs. It was said that
Sickles misunderstood the spirit and
his pride was so hurt that their meet
ing today would not be cordial.
