Excellent Type of Mule.

span Of mules may be kept patiently
plodding away without the files or
the heat worrying them In the least.
1t is during such time as this that
the mules will show their real worth,
says a writer in the Farm Progress.
A mule will grow sleek and fat upon
less feed than horse. OF course 3
little better ration should be fed, for
1t is hardly right to underfeed any
animal.
1 believe that poor training by his
master has given the mule his repu-
tation for viciousness. A mules tenn
peram...s Is such that he resents any
mistreatment more readily than a
horse. II the trainer uses good 1udg-
ment and proper treatment with the
mule while it Is young. there LIB no
cause for It's developing any bad haD-
its. Many mules are as gentle and
safe as any horse.
The mule is noted for it's long life.
It is rarity to see mule that mas
died from natural cause. His consti-
tuition is 80 strong and vigorous as to
be almost proof against many dis
eases. The average length Of dfe of
the mule Is almost double that OF the
horse.
The mule is especially desirable FOR
the farmer who has rough or billy
land to TILL as he Is more sure-footed
than a horse and can be worked upon
ground where it would be difficult to
take horse.

Insure Good Currants.

Small fruit Is not always chargeable
to a poor variety, but is sometimes
due to poor culture and no pruning.
Currants are borne largely on wood
three or four years old. Older wood
snould be pruned out and enough
young wood also to prevent crowding.
This may be done early In the spring
or in the autumn. Cultivate and add
barnyard manure to the plants occa-
atonally.

WOnlan's Beauty is
Based ON Health
To Have Health, Bowel
Movement is Absolutely
NeceSS0ry-How Best
TO Obtain it

II woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics every woman would be a
picture of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. It lies in health.
In the majority Of cases the basis of
health and the cause, of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not
eat carefully, they eat indigestible
foods because the foods are served
daintily and they do not exercise
enough. But whatever the particular
cause may be 1t is important that the
condition should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
quirements, is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women en-
dorse highly. Mrs. Jennie Snedeker,
1041 West Monroe ST., Chicago, testi-
fies that she is "cured of grave stom-
ach and bowel troubles by using Syrup
Pepsin and without the aid of doc
tor or any other medicine" All the
family can use Syrup Pepsin, for thou
sands of mothers give II to babies and
children. II is also admirably suited
to the requirements Of elderly people,
in fact to all who by reason of age or
lnfirmity cannot stand harsh salts, ca
thartics, pills or purgatives. These
should always be avoided for at best

REGARD PRISON AS HOTEL
English Veterans in Crime Find De-

Prison hotels, where habitual Grim

custom Of committing serious crimes

convicts, who have become priv

How to Break Up Brooding.

The best and quickest method Of
breaking up broody hens is to build
cage entirely Of laths. without any
solid floor to It, and hang or fasten
the cage up outdoors where the air
can pass through it. A hen treated
in this way will be broken from set
ting in a very few days and 1t is not
necessary to deprive her Of food or
water nor to nearly drown her in n
tub OF water. as is done too often.
Rroody hens should not be starved.
but fed all they will eat. Heavy feed
ing starts them laying quickly after
their broodiness has been ended.
Starving them delays egg production
much longer.

Other advantages in agriculture,
aside from the prohts. are the health
fulness of the outdoor work, the recre-
alive value due to the absorbing in
terest of working with the bees, the
interval of four to six months In the
year when one can pack away the
problems to hibernate when one can
loosen her tether and find new spheres
Il. which to refresh mind and spirit in
the already refreshed body. To eluci-
date this last point, work with the
bees calls ono outdoors only in the nice
weather. in the pleasanter seven or
eight months Of the year; when bad
winter months approach the bees are
packed away until spring. One is more
likely to apprec late this feature when,
like the writer. she has tended poul-
try two years, poultry which insist on
prompt meals 365 days In a year and
unending attention in many other
ways.
Bee keeping is an interesting and
profitable side line fer many women
today, but as yet, few are supporting
families on their apiaries.
Let the beginner remember to start
In a small way, start right, and in
crease slowly. Let her read some
good bee literature before buying
hives or swarms, so that she can in
form herself as to the best to get.
She should have all the hives Uniform
so that she can readily transfer a
frame Of rood, for instance, from one
hive to any other hive. or course If
she is going to have them all alike.
it is important that she begin with
the best kind.
