THE GRAsPIN'EsT MAN

'The graspin est man l ever know
ed" said Uncle Jerry PEBBLES, was
an old chap named Snoopins. Some
body told him once that when he
breathed he took in oxygen and gave
out carbon. He spent a whole day
tryin' to find out which of them two
gases cost the most if you had to
buy 'em. He wanted to know wheth-
er he was maxim or losin' money
when he breathed. "-Top-Notch.

Types of Mules.

The most valuable mules belong to the draft
class. Such mules stand 10 to l6A hands high,
are heavily muscled throughout and weigh over
1900 pounds. The plantation mules weigh from
1000 to 500 pounds and are IS to 10 hands high.
The sugar mules possess considerable quality.
The smallest class of market mules is that known
as mining mules. In as much some mines
only accommodate an animal of about IS hands.
a lack of size constitutes virtue and these mules
are usually cheap and plentiful.

is an unlimited market for those of size and
quality. The best mules produced by mares
possessing sufficient draft blood to give them
weight and sufficient fine horse blood to give
them finish The colts from pure bred draft
mares are apt to be coarse and sluggish. The
mules from pure bred mares of the light horse
type sometimes lack scale The Kentucky farmer
is beginning to use l200 to l400 pound
in his farm work. He finds that these
more than pay for their keep in the work that
they are able to do. and besides they furnish
$l00 mule colt
Our work among the farmers of Kentucky
leads us to make the statement that it costs about
$l69 to raise mule to the age of a threeyear
old. 1t is poor economy to be stingy with a
mule colt in regard to feed. Size is one of the
most valuable attributes possessed by this type of
work stock and if they stunted while young
they will attain to a useful size

Brood Mares for Producing Mules.

Every one agrees that the small mare is unfit
for mule breeding There are many cold
blooded light-bodied, frail and unsound mares
which are not deemed of sufficient merit to breed
to stations and so they are used to produce
mules frst-class jack will beget only second

The work animals of the southern farm is the
mule. The number of mules in Kentucky
established by the statisticians of the United
States Government on January l, 1913, at 10000,
with value of $l20 per head total value of
$274S0,0O0. The farmers in the agricultural
states of the south raise very few mules and they
are, therefore, dependent on Kentucky and ad-
jacent states to supply their work stock.

Bran and oats are standard feeds and corn
is often used but it is considered that too much
is heating and causes jack sores. The jack
should be allowed paddock in which he may
secure considerable exercise and also some graz

he should be allowed to run in and out at will in
winter and summer. Green rye, wheat or clover

quart of bran, two quarts of oats and he
should be allowed to run in one-acre pasture
during the day. At night he should be supplied
five pounds OF clover hay.
For yearlings use four ears of corn two and
one-half quarts of oats, two and one-haf quarts
of bran and seven pounds of clover hay.
For two-year-olds one gallon of oats, two
quarts of bran, and seven to ten pounds of clo-
yer hay. If the jack is poor add four ears of

Aged jacks will eat about the same as two

Rearing of Jacks.

A jack colt should be allowed to run in pas
ture with horse colt illy, the former being
preferred because the young jacks so rough
in their play. If young jack associates only
with young jacks or jennets during early life he
will not ordinarily serve mares later on.
The jennet colts allowed to run with their
dams in pasture from spring to fall. In October
the foals brought to the barn and weaned.
Then they fed cut sheaf oats and sorghum
and one ear of corn day. In the spring they
are placed on pasture and are fed nothing else
unless the grass becomes very short. In the
winter they are again taken to the barn and pro-
vided roughage with small amount of grain
during the winter. When three years old they are
bred. Aged jennets maintained on pasture in
winter and summer, but during cold weather
they supplied corn stover and occasionally
some hay.
