AS draft animals and for general

several respects. They are capable of
more continuous application at heavy
work under favorable conditions.
Although they may often be less tract

therefore more desirable for work in

or piungirg would be dangerous to

The color which is most desirable IL
mules is DIRK brown or black. and in
breeding them the Jacks and mares
are selected with reference to the
probability Of securing these colors in
the mules. 1t is usually considered
that the female mule is more desirable
than the male because she is far more

meeting of the city council held
last night plans were set on foot
for the establishment of three
small market houses in various
parts of the city with the double
view of reducing the price of
meat and affording greater con-
venience to housekeepers. The
charge is made that meat is un-
necessarily high in Monroe in
comparison to what the dealers
pay for their supplies. 1t is said
that dressed pork has been pur-
chased as low as Az cents per
poand and retailed at 20 cents
