St. Louis, Jan. 21.-Pools for fix
ing prices and trade combinations of
other kinds were urged here today
by w. l.. Saunders, of the Ingersall-
Rand company, New York, as means
of increasing Americas export bust
ness. He was addressing the second
annual National Foreign Trade con-
vention, which opened at the Plant
ers' hotel today. 5
"There is nothing in the Sherman
law which prohibits price-fixing,
pools and trade combinations of
American producers in selling goods
for delivery Abroad he declared.
'The United States government has
no authority in the matter of sales
made for delivery to foreign coun-
tries.
1T may be best for those who
doubt Interpretation of the law to
bring a test case rather than expect
congress to pass permissible legisla-
ton. The American exporter is
forced to compete with such trade
combinations and cartels in all the
greater countries of Europe and even
in the Balkan States -
1.-THE day is happily past when
here is occasion in discussion of
government regulation of commerce,
to introduce any question as to what
government regulation of commerce
should or should not do as far as
trade in the United States is con-
cerned. The government has de-
cided to regulate business and re-
cent judicial decisions interpreting
the Sherman Act have made plain
what it prevents and what it permits.
The government started in by po-
licy of protection and patronage
which practically freed the American
manufacturer in most lines from for
eign competition, but, in doing this,
the. welfare of the people at large
was at first safeguarded by internal
competition It was found possible,
however, to throttle this competition
by combinations and consolidation of
interest so as to put the public at
large at the mercy of a trust which
threatened to become, and in such
cases did reach, the position of being
a private monopoly. Here we have a

Nearly everyone knows that in con-
struction work In the cities where
teams are used. the mule stands alone
as the only means by which such work
can proftably be done. This being
true. 1t seems strange that farmers
have not seen the economy of keeping
mules instead of horses for farm work.
II is true that some farmers. scattered
here and there. have recognized their
advantages: yet. judging from the
number of advertisements of mules in
the stock papers in comparison with
those OF horses. it is evident that
mules are not widely used-at least
as widely as they should be.
In the first place. two horses eat as
much as three mules. while two mules
will do as much work as three horses
of the same weight. Farmers who
keep mules know they eat less than
horses, but few have probably realized
the great difference in amount of feed
consumed. In an experiment the Me-
braska station. by keeping careful
account OF the rations during a con-
siderable period. found that 1t cost
241a cents day to keep each horse.
and only 161a cents day to keep each
mule. says a writer in Successful
Farming. On this basis II costs about
$50 year to keep a horse and about
$50 a year to keep the humble mule.
When 1t comes to hard work. mules
are far superior to horses. They can
pun more than horses OF the same
weight and can stand the strain much
longer. One breeder states that they
can pull a load almost twice as far
as horse team in the same length
of time. They can stand continuous
hard work much better than horses,

CAUSE OF DISEASE
AMONG LIVE STOCK
Lack of Care and Attention Is
Responsible for Much Trou-
bIe-Attend to Details.

Want of care is the prolific cause
of accident and disease among stock.
The masters eye or the owners 90
licitude are proyerbially preventives
against trouble or waste; but II the
masters or the owners will not trouble
themselves to exercise the watchful
care needed, we may be sure no one
else will.
The careful farmer will never have
his teams brought in at night without
having their legs well rubbed down,
the sweat washed off the shoulders.
then watered. the stalls well bedded
and properly fed. Old horses, care
fully handled and fed. will outlast
young horses that are badly fed and
worked. In the dairy. the least falling
off in the yield of a COW should be the
cause OF inquiry or observation until
the reason is found: for that there is
a reason we may be assured. says a
writer in Baltimore American. The
careful dairyman will have each cows
milk weighed and recorded at each
milking; this is the only way to find
out the profitable cows in the herd.
The feeding of the cows. sheep and
horses and hogs should be done by
the farmer or competent hand, and
not by first one person and another.
Have regular hours for feeding. milk
ing and working. More and better
work can be done with less exertion
by man or animal.
The most prosperous farmer in our
l. tt,..<
stated that his success was largely
owing to strict attention to little
things" If this habit of close scrutiny
and observation becomes the rule in
stead of the exception. there will be
much less trouble and loss for farm
ers to complain of.

and have greater recuperative power.
That Is, they can do hard work day
after day and still be fresh the next
day when horses are too fatigued to
work
Mules can stand more hardships
than horses and require less care.
Indeed. 1t is surprising how well they
do under neglect and abuse. They
stand up much better than horses In
hot weather. They are less liable to
sickness and disease and are hardly
ever troubled with spavins. They do
not founder from over-eating. They
are patient and will do any work that
horse can do.
Two other great advantages that
should not be overlooked by the pro
spective buyer are that mules can be
put to light work when less than two
years old, and are useful for twenty
to thirty years.
Mules are, as a rule. gentle. They
will eat out of the same trough with
other mules and not fight. Occasional
ly. mules run away, but when they
do, they never hurt themselves as
horses do. And when running in this
pasture, they seldom get cut on barbed
wire.
A further advantage is that they
grow more to uniform sizes and colors
than horses. II man has mule to
sell. he can get a better price than for
horse. because mules are more cas-
lily mated. Mules are invariably sound
and therefore marketable. while q
large majority OF horses become un
sound and have to be sold at a dis
advantage. A three-year-oid mule ia
worth $3.50 and span in their prime
! from $500 to $500.
