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. II seems strange that farmers
have not seen the economy of keeping
mules instead of horses for farm work.
1t 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, il 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 Ne
braska station. by keeping careful
account of the rations during a con-
siderable period, found that 1t cost
24lk cents a day TO keep each horse,
and only 1871 cents day to keep each
mule, says writer in Successful
Farming On this basis it costs about
$50 year TO keep horse and about
$50 a year 10 keep the humble mule.
When 1t comes to hard work, mules
are far superior to horses. They can
pull 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 a horse team in the same length
of time. They can stand continuous
hard work much better than horses,

When making new comforters the
wool batting is much warmer and
lighter and makes an altogether more
satisfactory comforter than the cot
ton batting. The cost is an item to
be considered. of course, as an ordi-
nary comforter takes two pounds OF
the wool and costs SIS or 80 cents a
pound. The wool batting should be
covered with thin cheesecloth which
keeps the wool from pushing through
the cover and also protects it as the
outside may then be removed and
washed or a new cover put on.

brought out, well brushed and aired

not Objectionable to you, there are
others" The odor of moth balls in

something too sickening to mention
no wonder any self-respecting moth
would refuse to occupy the same
quarters. Clothing that is aired often
and worn occasionally is not apt to
become a harbor for moths. Furs

best ways OF keeping furs from moths

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

PROPER FEEDS FOR
FATTENING SWINE
Much Material May Be Gathered
Up in Fall in Orchard, Gar
den and Elsewhere.

Flesh and fat are now made at
half the cost of grain when the
weather is cold and wet. Much food
may now be gathered up in the
orchard. garden and field. which costs
little. and would otherwise be wasted.
Boil the wheat screenings from the
threshing machine with small potatoes
and mix with wheat bran; feel luke
warm to the shoats. After the slop is
eaten give little old corn, just what
they will eat up clean. Experienced
feeders say that a better quality OF
meat and at the least cost may be had
when old corn is the main grain fed
the last fattening month. Pork made
with soft corn is not cheaply made
Keep the soft corn and nubbins for the
store shoats.
Corn fed to growing shoats, in con
nection with grass and clover will
make better Pain in proportion than
IL either is fed alone. While Stops are
good feed, they should never be al
lowed to become too sour before feed
ing. An important item is to have a
dry shelter for the hogs and clean
dry yard.
Another important matter is plenty
OF pure water, wood ashes and corn
cob charcoal.
Shoats grazed during the summer
in clover and given a moderate
amount Of bran and middlings made
into slop, fed slightly sour. and giver
a liberal allowance Of old corn and
pure water one month before butch
ering will make the choicest kind o

Gas From Sawdust.

Engineers have taught that wood
less than four to six inches diameter
could not be distilled in gas-making
because of its tendency to burn up
rapidly when the temperature reaches
275 degrees Centigrade. 1t has now
been shown that even sawdust can be
distilled in gas making II the retort is
