Poison Tablets Guarded.

Various methods designed TO pre-
vent the installing OF biohloride OF
mercury for medicine. or some other
harmless substance. have been pro-
posed with the idea OF making Il pos
sible TO use this deadly poison AZ an
antiseptic without mourning any dan
ger. Two OF the latest OF these are
extremely simple but evidently eifec.
tive. Ono method consists In string
ing the tablets together and then bot.
Ting them In the usual manner. A
tablet can only DO detached by cutting
tho string. and this apparently does
away with all possibility OF mistake.
The other method Is 10 inease the tab
lets In metal guards 80 that Il is im.
possible TO swallow them. The tablet
can be dissolved with the guard In
place or can easily be removed from
the guard.-Popular Mechanics iIaga.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A MULE
Endurance, viaor and Easlness to
Keep Depend Upon Mare--oe-
mand IL for Big Animals.

Mule breeders differ TO some extent
over whether the mule colts charac-
terlstics are due most to the JACK or
10 the mare. Several investigators
who have asked mule breeders for
their experiences and opinions have
received information that was at vari
ance. The weight OF opinion, however,
seems TO incline that the external
characteristics OF the mule colt are
given him by the Jack. while his en-
durance, vigor and easiness to keep
will de )end upon the mare.
so 4 will be seen that the scrub
mare. the cathammed. washy type
OF little weight or stamina will not
make a suitable mother for the mule
that is to sell well. Amy sort OF a
mare will not do. but that Is rather q
popular idea among some growers.
Take a big farm mare. one that VIII
stand about rs. 1874 or 10 hands high,
and that weighs anywhere from i.4OO
10 $500 pounds. and bred TO a good
Jack she should produce the kind OF
mules that the market ia always look
Ing for.
When the Jack IL selected he should
be Of fair size and weight at about
1000 10 1900 pounds. and have the
right kind OF a pedigree back Of him.
or course there are good Jacks that
are somewhat smaller. but tho is to

most certain TO produce the type OF
mules that a farmer likes TO be able
