I here arc xarioii opinions on this subject, but our own opinion i, that with proper management a good team of horses, mule, or men will come through, 'arson accustomed to mulrs prefer them. There is no doubt but that thei are much hardier than horses, and arc capable of enduring more hardships, ill treatment ami abuse. They require less time to feed, and njAfnucli less choice n to w li.il Ihoy feed niton. This, in o much a grass is exceedingly scarce in many places, or was the lust season, is ilcen iug of coitsid. oration.

Horses require more care and attention, but what is lost, as a gcncril thing, in titno is gained in speed. Horses should not travel to many hours in a day.
