Types of Mules.

The most valuable mules belong to the draft
class. Such mules stand 10 to l6H hands high,
are heavily muscled throughout and weigh over
1900 pounds. The plantation mules weigh from
1000 to 1900 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 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 are produced by
possessing sufficient draft blood to give them
weight and sufficient fine horse blood to give
them finish. The colts from pure bred draft
mares 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 1000 to 1400 pound mares
in his farm work. He finds that these mares
more than pay for their keep in the work that
they are able to do, and besides they furnish
500 mule colt
Our work among the farmers of Kentucky
leads to make the statement that it costs about
$169 to raise mule to the age of three-year-
old. 1t is poor economy to be stngy with
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 never attain to a useful size.

the stockmen should mix verdgris and sweet

The work animals of the southern farm is the
mule. The number of mules in Kentucky
established by the statisticans of the United
States Government on January l. 1913, at 10000,
with value of $120 per head total value of
$27 100000. The farmers in the agricultural
states of the south raise very few mules and they
are, therefore, dependent Kentucky and ad-
jacent states to supply their work stock.

shoulder and light bone, the colt considered being
thy hay, but it is considered rather coarse and
woody. During August and September many
stockmen use green corn which is often run
through a cutting box before being fed to the
jack. Green sorghum is also fed in this man
ner Bran and oats are standard feeds and corn
is often used, but it is considered that too much
corn is heating and causes jack sores. The jack
should be allowed paddock in which he may
considerable exercise and also some graz
ing His stall should open into paddock and
he should be allowed to run in and out at will in
winter and summer. Green rye, wheat clover
pasture is useful for young jacks.
A young jack should be fed two ears of corn,
one 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-
hay. If the jack is poor add four ears of
corn per day.
Aged jacks will eat about the same as two
year-olds. Have the feed trough as high as the
body as feeding from the ground causes low
rage and eve necks.
During the winter the jack, pictured in the
next column is fed bundle of cut-up sheaf
oats at p. m, one-half gallon of clean shelled
oats twice day every other day, quart of
bran or ground barley is mixed with one of his
feeds. This jack also has a two-acre pasture to
run in at will.

Rearing of Jacks.

A jack colt should be allowed to run in a pas
ture with horse colt flly the former being
preferred because the young jacks are 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 ennet colts are allowed to run with their
dams in pasture from spring to fall. In October
the foals brought to the barn and weaned.
Then they are fed cut sheaf oats and sorghum
and of corn a day. In the spring they
are placed on pasture and are fed nothing else
unless the grass becomes very short. In the
winter they again taken to the barn and pro-
vided roughage with a small amount of grain
during the winter. When three years old they are
bred. Aged jennets are maintained on pasture in
winter and summer, but during cold weather
they supplied slower and occasionally
some hay.

Brood Mares for Producing Mules.

Every one agrees that the small mare is unfit
for mule breeding. There many cold
blooded, lght-boded, fra and unsound mares
which are not deemed of sufficient merit to breed
to stations and so they used to produce
mules. A irst-class jack will beget only second
class mules from such inferior dams. There is
little demand for inferior mule colts, while there
