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

feeding differs so materially from that of
both oxen and mules, that a little caution
is here deemed advisabl. to keep inexpe

to their wants ant necessities; that they
may proxidc in the best possible manner

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. Mules and oxen aro to much alike.

be acquainted with one is to knoxv the oili
