CHARACTERISTICS OF A MULE
Endurance, vlgor and Easiness to
Keep Depend Upon Mare-De-
nand 10 for Bio Animals.

Mule breeders differ to some extent
over whether the mule colts charac-
teristics are due most to the jack or
to 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 depend upon the mare.
So 1t will be seen that the scrub
mare, the cat-hammed, washy type
of little weight or stamina will not
make suitable mother for the mule
that is to sell well. Any sort of a
mare will not do, but that Is rather a
popular idea among some growers.
Take a big farm mare. one that Will
stand about 10, 1914 or l6 hands high,
and that weighs anywhere from 1,400
to 1900 pounds, and bred to a good
jack she should produce the kind OF
mules that the market is always look
ing for.
When the jack is selected he should
be of fair size and weight at about
1000 to 1,200 pounds, and have the
right kind of a pedigree back OF him.
or course there are good jacks that
are somewhat smaller, but the 10 to
15h hand animal is the one that Is
most cqrtain IN produca tho tvna NJ
mules that a farmer likes to be able
to offer. Where an animal is bought
II is worth the buyers while to spend
little more and get as nearly what
is wanted as possible.
It is just as easy to raise a big, rug
ged, heavy mule as 1t is to grow the
little mules that are now used over
much Of the South. They call them
cotton mules" in the southern states,

while the ground is soft. The wide

former wearers of the grey gave
vent to the rebel yell, heard so often
in the Old Dominion during the four
years war, and no doubt brought to
the minds of some present similar
scenes in Odd Fellows Hall in Alex
andria twenty years ago. In 1895
there was reunion of the followers
of Colonel John S. Mosby in this
city, which was attended by many
ex-Confederates as well as by num-
bers who were non combattants dur
ing the war between the north and
the south Upon the appearance OF
their former leader the members of
his command went off in series Of
yells which brought the large COM
pany to their feet. The greatest en-
thusiasm prevailed for some time.
The reunion of Mosby's men and
the dedication of the Confederate
Monument at Prince and Washington
streets May "a, 1889, were the most
successful events connected with the
history of the late Southern COME
deracy ever witnessed in this city.
The late General Fitzhugh Lee de-
livered the Grafton OH the latter oc-
casion, and many persons from other
cities were present.
When the Mosby veterans met 4
number of quiet Alexandrians never
suspected by their many friends Of
belonging to his gallant band APP
peared with their credentials. Among
the number was well known colored
shoemaker, who was one Of the cooks
to the command.
The largest gathering was at night
when grand banquet was served.
General Gordon and Senator John w.
Daniel were the principal speakers.
Colonel Mosby was, of course, call
ed on, but he was filled with emo
ton and could say but little when
he scanned the faces Of most OF his
old followers.
