CORDIAL welcome FOR MULE
British Army Authorities Recognize
the Good Qualities OF the
Unhandsome Animal.

It would appear from the quality Of
the latest arrivals OF mules here that
they are to be used for cavalry pur-
poses. The lot at EPSON are declared
by experts to be as clean as polo
ponies, able to gallop, and quite big
enough for the purpose-they are
about fourteen hands two inches high.
They would outrun any of the heavy
stamp of horse, Of which there are
plenty left, whilst horses suitable for
cavalry purposes are scarce all over
the world. Mules, of course, are used
by Spanish and Mexican cavalry, but
they have not hitherto been used in
the British army except for transport
and for mountain batteries. The like
lihood is that there will be revival Of
the mounted infantry idea, to take
light cavalry men who are now work,
ing in the trenches from place to place
where motor traffic is impossible. Sir
Garnet Wolseley In 1872 foretold some
thing Of the kind In his wellington
Essay" where he said that mounted
infantry on mules or even in carts, &C.
companied by a small proportion Of
real cavalry, would be OF signal use in
days to come. The mules and ponies
that formed the whole of Sir. Fred.
erick Rogers transport from Kabul
to Kandaher-he had no oxen or
camels-carried two. "maunds." which
is about one hundred and sixty pounds,
but were capable of carrying much
more. A mountain battery mules load
runs up to 220 pounds. but he'is never
as big as even fourteen hands.-Man-

instance and at almost every stage Of
growth It could be seen that the plants
grown from large seed were much
more uniform in stature and In time

It seems reasonable, to conclude
that large sized seeder is factor In

writer's judgment the lack Of plant

apt to be due to the use of seed which

CRv M. CUMMINGs.) )

y
a Lettuce is standard vegetable
crop, largely grown IN farm gardens
and ranking high In commercial ,horti.
culture as forcing crop; hence Its
inclusion in these seed sorting expert
ments. Although a seed-bed crop, it
ID often grown in places where space
Is expensive, where intensive culture
prevails, and where crop uniformity
and even maturity are of prime i'm
portance. On this account growers
now carefully consider both seed and
varietal choice. In some dollhouse
districts only certain varieties are
deemed suitable for greenhouse Gull
ture: and few progressive growers
select, only the locally.grown seed now
recognized as strains of commercial
varieties. Although many methods of
seed selection have been adopted, the
influence of seed size has not been
given careful study until more or less
recently. 3.,5. ss,s,z Nh. hi 81 zsss; -

differentiated seeds on this, basis is

GE The best method Of feeding is to cut

cut hay, straw or chair, allowing the
pile to heat for few hours before
feeding. This has the merit OF warm

that tin is very scarce metal indeed.

TURKEYS READY FOR MARKET

It is not to be wondered that there

taken into consideration the course so
many breeders take in fattening their
birds. 5 ~. -'5-'
It is mistake to pen up flock of
turkeys for the purpose of fattening
them. Turkeys are of wild nature,
and as soon as they are cooped begin
chasing one another about and con-
stantly worrying for freedom.
They soon tire of their food, grow
thin and will when killing time comes
weigh less than when first cooped with
the intention of fattening them. -
