CHARACTERISTICS OF A MULE
Endurance, vioor and easiness to
Keep Depend Upon Mare-De-
mand 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 a suitable mother for the mule
that is to sell well. Any sort of q
mare will not do, but that is rather a
popular idea among some growers.
Take a big farm mare. one that will
stand about Is. 1874 or 16 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 1900 pounds. and have the
right kind Of q pedigree back of him.
or course there are good jacks that
are somewhat smaller, but the Is to
15h hand animal is the one that is
most certain to produce the type Of
mules that a farmer likes to be able
to offer. Where an animal is bought
It is worth the buyers while to spend
a little more and get as nearly what
Is wanted as possible.
1t is just as easy to raise big. rug

little mules that are now used over
much of the South. They call them

One night was spent In the home
OF Sam Maharg one OF the progress
sive farmers near Hiatt. The beau
titled residence and modernly equip
ped farm with its waving wheat
fields and the warm welcome extend
ed made us feel that we were among
the highly favored. Here we saw
one Of the best fields Of corn on the
trip. In the way OF utilizing a
spring that flows from beneath a
hill Mr.. Maharg has installed ram
which forces the waite: up 10 the
house without a stroke Of labor. So
many places in the country could be
made more handy for the mothers

A hustling boy was entered upon
the corn contest making the 50th one

pig into a mare and the mare has
born him a good colt. Where is the
boy that can beat that?
Ed Smith, our corn demonstration,
is getting along fine with his crops
as well as the new buildings that he
has under way. We went over his

condition OF his farm are all indica-
tons OF progress and success. Ripe
cherries and good dinner was the
order OF the hour at this home.

an indication of prosperity on his
part.
