The best mules are produced by
mares possessing sufficient draft
blood to give them weight and suf-
ficient fine horse blood to give them
finish. The colts from pure bred
draft mares are apt to be coarse
and sluggish. The mules from the
pure bred mares Of the light horse
type sometimes lack scale. The
Kentucky farmer is beginning to
use 1900 to l.4O0 pound mares in his
farm work. He finds that these
mares more than pay for their feed

do and besides they furnish a 800

First Great Battle
 Begun at Brussels

London, Aug 1s, 20 P. M.-The court announcement in a telegram from Brussels dated last night, of fierce fighting between Belgian and German troops along an extended front is generally accepted in Lon- don today, as indicating the real be- ginning of the first great battle in the war of eight nations. The German at tack is today again reported to have been made on the direction of Elm peror William himself to his generals in the field.
 The exact extent of the line of fighting has not yet been revealed but presumably 1t stretches in north and south line. Beyond this it's definite location is virtually guess work.
 Refugees from Diest, Tierlemont and other towns in that section of Belgium, who fled as the Germans approached, are coming into Brussels in great numbers. They declare that since the inhabitants vacated Tierle- mont German shells have been drop ping in the town and that subse- quently the Belgians broke the Ger man advance at this place at the point of the bayonet.

 for Several Days.

Stockholm, Sweden. Aug. 19. via London, 1905 P. M.-Fully 15,0O0 Russian refugees from Germany most of them exhausted, famished and sick have gone through Stock holm since the beginning of the war From 1500 to 20o0 have arrived daily. Hotels, barracks and schools have been used for their housing and are filled to capacity every night.
 These unfortunates are a hetoro- genous gathering from all classes. There are wealthy women in furs and diamonds, and poor women in rags with half naked children in their arms; priests in caftans, workmen in smocks, and wealthy professional and business men, all of whom had been driven put of Germany.
 Some of the refugees had been without food for three or four days before reaching Sweden. The trains were so packed that many of their occupants were obliged to stand for twenty-four hours at a stretch. The legs of many were so swollen as to require hospital attention.
 Among the refugees are a number of patients who say they were driven out of hospitals in Germany. ChiI- dren were separated from their fathers and mothers, while mothers lost their children on the way. Hus- bands in some cases remain prison CTS in Germany. a..s.#..
 A number of Polish women taking the cure at Austrian baths near the frontier were forced to return by way of Berlin and arrived without money or news of their children and husbands.

 During the journey across the ocean we heard of the assassination of theI Austrian crown prince We werd filled with horror, but nobody had any idea what effect this act would have upon all Europe, and possibly the whole globe. During the first fourteen days of my stay rumors

 Preparations For War.
 War between Russia and Germany was declared. Germany mobilized and every male person from seven teen to forty-five was called to arms. Germany was to have in fifteen days 5,000,0 ,000 soldiers, fully equipped and every one at his post. Each soldier was supposed to take enough food with him to last him one day. After that the government would take care of him. Every wife of a soldier gets per day 15 cents, and every child up to Is years X cents from the govern- ment The Reichstag has appealed to every boy from twelve to sixteen years of age to go and help the farmer harvest the crops, which are this year unusually promising.

 Not a pound of eatables was al- lowed to be sent across the border. I saw many fat Hoistein oxen grazing. grass.
