Two-Year-Oid Mule Colt.

s What influence will the present
tendency to mule breeding have upon
the horse supply Of the future? The
high prices and the scarcity of mules
have suggested to many farmers and
horse raisers both North and South
the desirability of raising mules from
the standpoint of sales for profit.
There is an increased demand for
large mares to breed mules. This
tendency is not confined to any par
ttcular locality. 1t is not alone in
the northern horse raising states. but
Is spreading IN the South. Carloads
OF large young are have been pur-
chased and shipped into the heart
of the southern states for the joint
purpose of teams and mule raising.
The mule is gaining in popularity for
team work wherever the horse and
mule are in use.
The tendency to mule preference
seems to be based ipon economy of
service in team work on the farm and
wherever horse power is demanded.
The demand for more mules means
mares employed in the raising of

(By J. NJ. CADwALLADER. Louisiana

The cream separator is one of the
great inventions that has helped to
revolutionize the dairy business. Its
effect has been especially noticeable
upon the butter industry. Its ten
dency has been to lower the quality OF
butter. but this is not due to any FAULT

resulting from the use of the sepa-

Milk should be separated at a tenn
perature Of IS to 80 degrees and
separation can be accomplished best
as soon as the milk is drawn from

may be some makes of separators
which will separate at a lower tenn

machine will do more efficient work
