It is foolhardy to use the best mares
.or raising mules. There are too few
of them to keep up the horse supply.
There are plenty OF poor or unsound
mares that will rear good mules. said
w. A. Cochel, head of the department
Of animal husbandry, at the Kansas
Agricultural college. to a class in
horse production, recently.
The best mule is produced from a
light type of horse. Professor Cochel
said. A good mule-producing mare has
4 big head; is rugged. roomy. compar-
atively heavy bone. a good big foot,
and is outstanding. The Jack should
be as high as possible. have a Roman
nose. coarse bone. big foot. and long
ears.
A mule eats in an irregular manner.
and 1t is almost impossible to founder
him. They do better II fed in lot
than in stall. On farms where IT is
necessary to have hired men 1t is
best to let them work mules. because
of the smaller danger OF injury or loss
due to bad driving or feeding. Mules

SEALED CARDBOARD CARTONS
Economic Importance of Such Con-
tainer Made Plain by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.

The United States department of ag.
riculture has just issued a bulletin
tNo. 15), in which a sealed cardboard
container for cereals is described,
which should do much to protect ce-
reals from insect attack.
The economic importance OF such a
container for cereals which the grocer
sells by the box is greater than at
first appears. Packages may become
infested while in the grocer's store
room or on his shelves. Warehouses
are also usually more or less infested
by insects which crawl around on the
packages. When such packages are
purchased, the buyer. on discovering
that they have been attacked. usually
returns them to the grocer. the grocer
return them to the mill where they
were prepared, and the mill screens
the cereal and sells it as feed. The
exact financial loss due to these con-
ditions can not be accurately deter
mined. but extensive observations
lead to the belief that 1t is much
greater than most millers suppose.
The new bulletin. which is a con-
tribution from the bureau of entomol-
ogy, gives the results Of experiments
in California, with packages that were
regularly closed by gluing the ends,
and with those which were covered
by piece Of label paper SO that an
insect could not enter without piercing
the label. The result Of this expert
ment showed that the nonlabeled pack
ages were thoroughly infested with
insects. while the labeled packages
were absolutely free from insects.

EXCELLENT NOTES

Look round for better head for
your flock Of sheep than you ever had
before. Be willing to pay the cost.
1t will all come back.
Let your breeding stock be the best
on the farm. Weed out every indi-
vidual that is not thrifty. well built

Never buy a eve with great long
hoofs. The longer her hoofs the few

SOME VERY STRANGE PETS

at Bardstown. Ky. Constant associa-
ton with humanity has made him as

for that boar. The. boar Immediately

Is an Angora goat. a beautiful fluffy
creature. and its master declares that
1t can smile. Representative Rother-
mel, well known through his own state
as lighter, was first won to the ami
NAL when he saw it arguing with the
hired man out by the stable OF his
home one day. The man was trying
to put the goat inside the stable and
the goat objected. The hired man
talked to the Angora as its own uncle
, might have talked. And Just as he
was getting on intimate terms with
the creature it turned on its reverse
speed. ported its helm and bumped
him on the green grass
Representative Rothermel went out
and calmed the goat just as the hired
man was arranging for murder with
the aid of an AK. The goat became
his master thereafter. 1t trots about
the lawn bleating gently whenever
the legislator calls. Representative
Rothermel is authority for the state
ment that the goat has never as yet
butted him.
