Despised or illy thought of as it
is, the mule really merits a tlcsl ol
consideration these days, from the
commercial standHtint. It is a
fact that the demand for this ani
mal is growing tstder than the sup
ply, and the consequence in a steady
advance in its price. This is due
to a certain extent to a better uii
derstanding of the real value of the
mule as a worker, and also to the
improved breeding of the animal
itself.
It is larger, stronger aud better
looking than the old-time mule,
and seems to be getting more oivil
ixed, too, or a liettcr lichaved fellow,
which is douhtlcss due to better
treatment than was formerly given
hint. Another reason for the good
demand is that the Ameru.'iii molt
