PRESENT MARKET FUR MULES
Breeders Can Only Look With sstisfac.
! . on Demand for These Hard
Working Animals.

Producers of mules can look only
with satisfaction on the present mar
ket Tor these animals. In Kansas
City dealers have contracts with the
United States and British governments
for mules. In the South prosperity
prevails among the producers Of cot
ton n sugar, and buyers Of cotton
and sugar mules are making their
probable wants felt in Kansas City's
trade. Prosperity also prevails in min
ing districts, and mine mules therefore
also ar III favor. Those who have
mules I" stil can count themselves for
tunate. aS the demands are such that
good prices should be realized general
~. There is, us usual after Il period
Of dry weather, Il strong preference for
mules with weight, and producers hav-
ing thin animals should find the differ
ence between thin and fat mules wide
enough to warrant an increase in the
ratlOns 10 all stock which might pos
sibly be sold to GO to market.

TO PROTECT MUSKRAT
Most Valuable Fur Animal in the
United States.
Whether Il Shalt BE Protected or De.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricultureD
Whether the muskrnt, the most valu-
able fur animal in the United States,
shall be protected or destroyed de-
c~uinstanccs this animal becomes detri-
mental and is responsible for consider
able damage to growing crops, irriga-
ton bitches, milldams, etc. Where the
animal is not troublesome. biologists
of the Y. s. department Of agriculture
suggest that it be protected and trap
ped for fur. Even where the animal
has become somewhat Of a pest, It's
numbers often may be kept down by
trapping, while the sale of pelts makes
such activities profitable. Often crops
may be protected by the erection Of
wire-mesh fences between them and
the marsh Or pond where the animals
live. Such fences should reach at least
six inches beneath the surface of the
ground to prevent the muskrat bur-
rowing under.
Where the animals prove trouble
SohiS " causing breaks III elilDtLk-
ments, dams, and in the sides Of irri-
CATION bitches, probably the most prac.
teal remedy is to employ Il trapper

owners of entertainments, dams, etc,
may guard against injuries to their
property by muskrats. A more general
use Of concrete, for example, has
greatly minimized such troubles. The
ore liberal use Of gravel or coarse
sand for the surface of entertainments
has been found effective, since the ami
mails will not burrow in soil that fills
the hole as fast as they open it.
Destruction of muskrats, where this

ton, which is in most eases advisable,

German schooling has proved antag-
Onistic 10 cooperation. although de-
handing unity of action through mass
obedience, Winthrop Talbot writes in
the Century. 1t has failed to foster
real cooperation, for cooperation is a
method by which persons of their own
yolition and by no %conpulsion may
work together tremendously. Only
when training and schooling are the
common privilege Of all is that state
of civic development possible which
permits society to become cooperative
in its action. III other words, a So
cialized society becomes more possible
only as all individual members acquire
each the widest vision. and thus the
power to cooperate tremendously.
