PRESENT MARKET FOR MULES
Breeders Can Only Look With Satisfac.
ton on Demand for These Hard
Working Animals.

Producers of mules can look only
with satisfaction on the present mar
ket for 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 and 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 are in favor. Those who have
mules to sell can count themselves for
tunate, as the demands are such that
good prices should be realized general
~. There is, as usual after a period
of dry weather, a 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
rations to all stock which might pos.
sibly be sold to 90 to market.

SUPERIOR FOR LAYING HENS

at Ohio Staten.

When wheat 7 other feeds are rel.
atiyely higher in price, corn and meat
scrap will produce a satisfactory egg
yield at lower cost per unit Of pro.
ductiOn.
Hens fed on corn and meat scraps
for 1,041 days ut the Ohio experiment
station laid an average of 351 eggs a
hen. Those fed ration of corn, wheat.
oats, bran and meat scrap produced
$40 eggs. The feed cost per dozen
eggs was rs per cent higher for the
lot getting the variety of feeds than
for the corn and meat scrap lot.
Corn, wheat, oats, bran, oilmeal, mid
dlings and meat scrap constituted the
ration of one lot that laid 1871 eggs
per hen one year. Hens fed only corn
and meat scrap laid 123 eggs per hen.
The cost Of feed per dozen eggs was
nearly t per cent greater in the case
of the hens fed the variety ration.

TO PROTECT MUSKRAT
Most Valuable Fur Animal in the
II. United States.
Whether II Shall Be Protected or De.
stroyed Depends on Its Behavior
Sometimes 1t Does consid-
cradle Damage.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Whether the muskrat, the most valu-
able fur animal in the United States,
shall be protected or destroyed de-
ponds upon its behavior. In some cir
cumstanceS 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 U. S. department of agriculture
suggest that it be protected and trap
ped for fur. Even where the animal
has become somewhat of a pest, its
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
soma by causing breaks in embank-
ments, dams, and in the sides of irri-
cation bitches, probably the most prac.
teal remedy is to employ a trapper
and hunter TO patrol the property both
| night and day. In narrow waterways
barrel traps have proved efficient in
catching large numbers of these ami
mails.
By erecting more permanent works,
owners of embellishments, 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
more liberal use of gravel or coarse
sand for the surface of embankments
has been found effective, since the ami.
! mails will not burrow in soil that fills
the hole as fast rs they open it.

FEW HORSES REQUIRE SH0EC
In Case Feet of Animals Become Dry
and Begin to Crack Some Atten-
tion Is Needed

The nature of the work that the
horse is doing determines whethes or
not he should be shod. Horses work
ing on hard roads require shoes, while
with but few exceptions those work
ing in the field do not need to be shod.
In case the feet become dry and hard
and begin to crack, attention should be
given them. Most of the poor feet are
due to improper care. a horses feet
should be trimmed at least every six
or eight weeks. In trimming most of
the work should be done with rasp.
If the nippers are used, too much Of
the hoof is generally cut away, while
if the rasp is used only a small amount
is cut away at time and the foot can
be kept level.

PROFIT IN SHEEP BUSINESS
Most Sensible Way for Any Farmer Is
to Begin on Small Scale and
Gradually Increase.

The most sensible way for the farm
er to get into the sheep business is to
begin on a small scale with a few good
ewes and purebred ram, and increase
his flock with his increasing knowledge
of how to care for sheep and get the
most profit out of them.
