MEANS END OF ARMY MULE
Mechanical Substitute, II Is Said, Will
Do Away With Need for the
Animals Services.

II has been said of the army mule
that he absorbed more food, endured
more blows. stood for more profanity
and performed more work than any
other creature that ever came In con-
tact with man.
Now If we are TO believe certain ru-
mors in the newspapers, the time Is at
hand when there isn't going to be any
army mule. He isn't even to be taken
into the military service to maintain
a tradition. to provide veterans with
stories or TO develop the art OF cuss-
ing. If our troops, like Uncle Toby's
comrades, swear terribly in Flanders
ii will not be because of the long-eared,
lOng-legged, sure-shot kicker who, In
previous wars, has worn mems tenn
pers to FRAGILE. It will have to be
something else.
The substitute for the mules thews
Is q mechanism that looks Ike bass
drum with a pair Of wheels. 1t Is
said to be just iron and power. with
an incidental thirst for liquid fuel. 1t
is warranted to pull entire trains Of
wagons, to make armies hump to keep
up with II. Tests with ii have shown
that by It's sole efforts 1t will carry the
provender and equipment of an entire
regiment, and think nothing of carry
ing the regiment along too. This pos
sibly is exaggeration. But 1t Is plain
enough that the army has become
emancipated from the mule. The fell
low could do wonders, but this tractor
affair will do miracles. And that Is
what army men pray for
We can imagine that some old sol
diers will sorrow over the passing Of
the mule. They remember his virtues
well and have forgotten his teeth and
his hind feet. Man cherishes the pic
turesque. let's time wipe out exaspera-
ton. But this Is new kind of war
and its engines must live by petroleum
and not by horse feed.-TOledo Blade.

LEGUMINOUS CROPS
AID SOIL FERTILITY
Most Profitable to Pasture Land
and Then PloW Under What
Remains of Crop.

Every progressive farmer now
knows that leguminous crops are an
effective way of maintaining soil fer
tility, and for this reason the acreage
in them is constantly increasing. If
the whole crop is plowed under, how
ever, it is evident that there can be no
revenue from the land that year. 1t is
much more profitable, therefore, TO
pasture the land and then to pillow
under what remains of the crop to-
gether with the manure that is left on
the ground.
Barnyard manure contains a large
proportion Of the fertilizing value OF
the substances fed the animals. In
the effect upon fertility, therefore, 1T
makes comparatively little difference
whether the crop or the manure 1T
produces is returned TO the soil. What
difference does exist is much more
than Offset by the profit that should
accompany the proper management OF
live stock.
All legumes make good pasturage,
and their use for this purpose will
minimize the need for more expen-
sive feedstuffs. The extent to which
this is done is one of the great factors
that make for success In the live stock
industry. The efficient use of all farm
roughage, such as straw and slower,
and of leguminous crops will provide
the farmer with much valuable feed
which may be said to cost him little or
nothing, for giving 1t to animals does
not materially lessen Its fertilizing
value, and under ordinary circum-
stances no direct cash returns are to
be expected from 1t.

at the Mcdaniel home after the
murder.
Miss Cook gave testimony for Nc

In selecting at husking time or from

that many OF the desirable ears Sc

favorable envirOnmental conditions
and cannot transmit desirability so
gained to their progeny.
The proper time to field-select seed
corn Is when the corn is mature and
ready to husk, though II cut short by
frost, selection should be made imme-

haps the best way is TO walk down the
rows with a sack tied over the shout

considered desirable. Plants growing
at the edge of the field. or where there
is but one plant To the hill. or where
the soil Is exceptionally fertile, may
produce desirable ears because of n

plant received. and not through hered-
ity. These should not be chosen. only
ears borne on vigorous plants growing
under average conditions, which have
reached proper maturity and size. and
which are borne at proper height
(about 3h feet), and with tips slightly
dropped. should be selected. The ears
should then be properly dried and

made through the winter or when
