THE MULE.
Thero are few. farmers who grive
the mule just, due as an all-round
serviceable and patient worker on ahe
farm. The mule is essentially a farm
beast and is only about half appre-
ciated. He can endure more than a
horse, is less subject to illness and
eats less. He will work under any
conditions; always do his best and is
the safest of all beasts of burden,"
sa^vs 'he Buffalo Live Stock Record.
True, he is unattractive, but who
wants to use the mule for a road-
ster? For work in the field mules are
far more serviceable than hors'es and
besides, they are not as high strung
and nervous and have not that fret-
ful disposition which characterizes
horses. Flies bother mules but little
—at least, they- don't show it—and the
eat of the summer has comparative-
ly little effect upon Ihem. This "is
worthy of consideration when culti-
vating corn during fly time. The
horse will not walk straight as a con-
sequence of getting rid of flies, while
the # mule is oblivious of their pres-
ence.
The mule has the good qualities of
both horse and ass and ^eems to
lwve none of their mad ones. He's a
plodder and a contented one.

RAISING SHEEP.
If you are situated to raise sheep,
the buying of a few will be a sodd
investment and bring in money in two
w a\ s at least the wool brings in a
ffood profit early in the spring and
tne^ lambs in the summer and fall.
Some men like one breed and some
another, but 1 think tha,, it matters
n' ,l so m«ch about the Kind as to the
earn that we are trying to make. The
two most essential things are wiol
and mutton. Then the tbing to con-
sider is quality and quantity. We must
lave a good variety of wool and a
good-sized sheep. The Suuthdowns
are good and the Shropshires will pay
well in wool and mutton, but they are
not all the good sheep you can raise.
It usually takes a great deal of
pasture for sheep and unless the srass
grows very rank, four or five sheep
per acre will keep the ' grass  aten
down prety well.
The main thing in raising sheep is
oare; they should have plenty of good
feed and shelter at all times of the
year, and especially during the bad
weather of winter. The ticks must be
kept away and a preventive for grubs
andj /worms used. The sheep must
have shade in hot days, either in the
woods or shed prepared for them.
In the early fall they should be dip-
ped frequently with some good dis-
infectant to keep away the flies that
make the grubs. By so doing you will
keep the flock healthy.
Caring for the lambs in the early
spring is very important. Castration
should be done early, using an anti-
septic Dip the knife in the solution
each time and use some on the lambs
also. It will drive away the flies and
keep down inflammation. I have done
this for many years and know it is
good. I would advise the reader who
is contemplating the raising of sheep
to start small and' add as you learn.
A flock of good, pure-bred sheep is al-
ways profitable.
crossing razor-backo
on poland chinas.
On ttfe farm of S. M. Tilson, near
Greenwood, Ind., is being conducted
an experiment to determine .he prac-
ticability of infusing wild blood into
a Herd of pure-bred Poland Chinas
The .experiment was begun 3 years
ago and up to the present time has
given very satisfactory data from"
which to arrive at conclusions. Al-
though working contrary to all livv-
of breeding, u type seems to * have
been established which for stamint
and killing qualities, has its pure-
bred ancestors beat a mile.
Several years ago Mr. Tilson be-
came discouraged at the excessive
loss off young) £igs from pure-bred
sires and dams. He became convinc-
ed that his herd had suffered a loss of
vitality through living the simple life
of a corn-belt ho*. A percentage of
loss, approximate - forty to fifty, was
sure to occur between farrowing anw
weaning time. A sow in his herd
having ten pigs rarely saved over
five or six. This rate of mortality was
too one-sided for a man who was
raising hogs without sentiment.
The first attempt at Installing new
vigor in the herd was crossing with
other improved breeds. This gave
some relief, but one never knew what
he was going to get from such crosses
He might, from the same litter, get a
broad-backed, deep-sided, well-con-
stituted individual and a typical ra-
zor-back that would not gain ten
pounds in' forty days.
Finding this a failure, Mr. Tilson
determined to go way back to* the or-
iginal type and begin ail over again.
So he sent down to Florida and had a
man capture two of the wild hogs that
inhabit regions of that state. In ap-
pearance they were ludicrous, having
little semblance to the common con-
ception of a hog. However, they
were tough and hardy, and seemed to
have an abundance of vrtality and
constitution. Crosses were made of a
pure-bred Poland |China on a wild
sow. Their offspring were in turn
bred along the same line.
As a result of these crosses Mr. Til-
son has established a herd of iree-
quarter Poland blood and one uarter
wild blood. This mixture l ? deems
the best and arrives at i: i crossing
his half-breed sows \ th pure-bired
Poland Boars. Durir v liie last two
years over one hun lr d pigs have
resulted from this line of breeding,
and only two pigs have been lost. In
appearance these three-quarter^ |^igs
cannot. be distinguished from pure-
breds yet they are far better foragers
and as yet diseases has never enter-
ed the herd. The.sows have from eight
to twelve pigs and save all of th ti.
Now a word as to the feeding qual-
ities of these hogs. It is true they do
not lay on fat quite so rapidly as do
purenbreds, nor are they so deep of
ham or broad of back and shoulder.
It seems that the mst profitable
method of handling tlwrn, as well as
all other feeder hogs is to feed a
ration containing as much green for-
age as possible and market them when
they weight about 150 pounds.
A bunch of them were slaughtered
.at an Indianapolis packing house and
an accurate account of all weights
were kept. It was found that the car-
casses contained morr> leaf and bacon
than other hogs, but were deficient in
ham and shoulder. The shrinkage
was found to be considerably less for
the wild hogs and, as a whole, they
were considered . superior for the
block. The fia-vor of the meat had a
decided "wild" quality that much im-
proved it.
The groat difficulty in this line of
breeding will lie in keeping the wild
strain intact. In Florida, wb . liogs
never come to eat and subs' , entire-
ly by foraging for themselves, there
is little danger of the type becoming
improved. But when brought north
and introduced to corn-belt , condi-
tions, there will he a tendency tf>
become like improved hogs. For pro-
ducing Irrge numbers, of lightweight
market .hogs this outcrossing seems
to be a very profitable and practical
method.—(Farmers News Scimitar.
Remember that over-ratness In a
sire may hide many defects.
Breed preferably to a sire that is
regularly worked on the farm, or h;it
regular road experience every day.
Colts from a stallion that is kept
in a stable with little or no exeeise
are usua'lly Inferior.
See that the mangers are kept sweet
and clean. Sour and moldy grain will
quickly get a horse "off his feed," and
a lack of nervous energy goon follows.
Shake up the bedding and put it
outside the stable on a rack to air and
dry.—Farm Star.

Heavy draft horses are born with

inherited.
*\ good draft sftallion crossed on
marcs with good disposition, produces
colts that are naturally quiet and easy
to train to the slow work of the
farm.
Trotters are born to Ko. and the
restraint of the slow work on the
farm makes fretters that soon wear
