RAISING GOOD MULES
A PAYING INDUSTRY

Since the ravages of the horse dis
ease in the corn belt couple of years
ago. during which 1t seemed to be
demonstrated that the mules were less
susceptible. they have gained in popu-
larity. especially in those regions
where the horse supply is short, says
the Kansas Farmer.
Pure bred mares are not necessary
to the production of good mules. al
though 1t follows that the better the
mare the better will be the mule. 1t is
olso,true that the reputation which the
mule has for being kicker is not
wholly merited. This is, like some
other things. a matter Of growth. The
old expression "As silly as a goose" Is
an illustration. There is no bird that
wears feathers that knows as much or
is as shrewd as the goose Whether
the mule will kick or not depends upon
his nature. and this nature Is derived
