LARGE WORK ANIMALS BEST
Mule 10 Most Economical Machine for
Production Of Power-Break Them
When Two Years Old.

Large draft horses furnish the
Drawn to save mems energies for the
work that requires skill and care.
II you have mules on the farm that
are coming two-year-olds, break them
now--that is, work for half day at
q time--it won't hurt them; but, on
the other hand, will do them good.
The mule is easily broken. as all
farmers who have handled them will
testify. but 1t is a good thing to get
them used to being handled before
they get too old; then they are ready
for the regular work when you need
them.
The great superiority Of the mule
consists in his greater endurance OF
heat and severe labor, and ability to
subsist on less food He is undoubt-
edly the most economical machine for
the production OF power.

FINLAND.

Now that all Englishmen living In
Germany are to be taken to concen-
tration camps the intention is to in
tern all other subjects Of states with
which Germany is at war. But the au.
thorities have decided that the Fir
landers shall not be subject to these
rules. for 1t is realized that they are
Russians only by compulsion, and that
it would be unjust to blame them for
what the Russian authorities have per-
petrated against German citizens.

ent from that in Norway. OF course
it is claimed that the feeling in Swe-
den is not so much for Germany as
against Russia. And this may in a
sense be true; but, after all, It is a
distinction without difference. Sven
Hedin, who just now is SO much in
the public eye by reason of his enthu-
siastic advocacy of the German cause,
no doubt speaks the mind of his coun-
trymen. But Sweden wants to keep
out of the trouble and frowns upon
Sven Hedin for speaking his mind too
freely. Sweden last summer prepared
itself for any possible eventuality
Should Sweden by some untoward hap
pening be drawn into the war 1t is
impossible to imagine 1t as fighting on
the side of Russia.
The usual imports of fruits to Swe-
den via Hamburg have been almost
stopped on account Of the war. But
the imports from America and Eng.
land have been but slightly disturbed.
American apples are fairly cheap. It
was feared that !, the prices Of fruit
would rise In. the near future. but the
exports 10 the belligerent nations Is
SO greatly reduced that Sweden may
be benefited by 1t.

Imagine our horror to see the eldest with both
hands cut off and the youngest with four fin
gers cut off her left hand! Their parents
killed while trying to escape from the Germans.
There is also soldier lying in Craigleth Hos
pita here with both eyes out and hands cut off
and a doctor Is in an English hospital with
both hands cut off, which the Germans did
after he had finished attending to their
wounded. The case of the children, according
to the papers, is very common. I am afraid
the Germans will have big reckoning to pay
