Many are anxious to get Inform« tlon at»out mules, animal» tlmt play an Important pnrt in farm work and heavy hauling Some prefer them to the draft horse. Why? Well, they say mules can everlastingly (mil a heavy load without the »lightest letup. In the south they are a deliverer to the MPffEM HAVLtMU CUTroH I cotton growers. Some people Imagine tlmt muli*» don't noil any s|ieclal care, because, a» a rule, tbelr makeup 1» rugged That's true lu this respect. They can stand more abuse than any animal used for heavy working pur- I misch But at bremtlng time attention to fvisllng should tie given Some grain for the mule*, to keep them in good condition without fattening them 1» very lm|»>r!aiii. If the mule run» down from lack ot nourlxtilng food either the progeny wlll be weak and lacking In vigor or the tireedlng may be entirely prevented. The best of all grain food» for keeping the mule lu condition are out» Rye 1» sometimes fed and In some ease» Is very gmid It should be kept from the animals after they have been bred, as it may cause alxirtlon. FEEDING THE COLT. Many Farmers Maks Mistake In Using Bottles and Nipples. Noting In a recent farm paper a plan to raise the baby colts ou a liottle with « rubber nipple, a breeder advises farmers not to tmther with bottles nnd nipples, nt lenat not for colts. Take n di*ep pan or crock and pour into It enough milk to cover your baud. Crook your foretlnger C shape In the milk lx*t the colt once get hold with It» soft, velvety lip of tlmt crooked foretlnger nnd It wlll drink at the third dny. Colts do not or need not suck the tlnger like calves. Sufficient milk 1» placed in good glass Jars In the tank, and the colt learns to come to the gate for Its milk, taking It from any crock, pall or ves sel we choose to feed It from. And the milk should lie warmed slightly nt first. Handling Young Pigs. When pigs ure three weeks old the sow and litter should have the rim of a lot to have exercise air and sun shine. They will then begin to eat. At eight weeks of age they should be Wennud mid provided with n fi*edlng trough. Soaked corn, skimmilk, cooked feeds, with mill finals added, form a goml diet for them Ihi not teed corn meal to excess, for It fattens rather thnn causes healthy growth. Regularity Road to Success. Ihilryiiig lx quite confining, but this Is one of the gissl features of the 111 ilustri Once a farmer get» started he must keep regular hours and do hlu it either when green or when It Ims work In the proper time, nnd It Is tills iieen properly cured for hay.

Comparativa Cost of Lands In tna Two Sections Oiscussod. Io n letter to the New York Times « correspondent wrote recently: “If the Time» really wants to know why it I» that western land-lb Iowa or Illinois-sella for *100 to *2l«> an acre while plenty of farm» can b» bought In New York for *10 tu *20 an acre, let It pay attention The secret la about to t>e relea»»d And let me nay at the outset that with consider able familiarity with both went and east I'd mui’ti prefer to buy eastern to western lands. "One point lu favor of the western farm 1» that, whereas a western farm, properly handled, will raise crops which pay a good Interest on the In vestment without fertilizer, a great many acres of land lu the *10 and *2u belt are merely something to put pro ductlve soil ou top ot. The French method of carrying the land away when one moves wouldn't go bad In connection with several cheap New York farms "Another thing—one can take an eighty acre farm In the middle wi*t and plow every foig of It. while there are very few cheap farms I d this »ec- tlon which can be cut up Into Helds large enough to pay for using large machinery. The result Is that the east »rn farmer. If be la to make use of the cheap lauds, must -putter. Now. lhe right sort of puttering la profitable— fruit, berry and truck raising will make moderately large fortunes for diligent and capable men—but most men don't like that sort of business. The middle westerner is a whole lot happier with a four horse gang plow and a harrow that wouldn't go be tween stumps In the east than be would be on a *10 an acre New York farm. And he doesn’t strike as many stone» In the course of a season as the New York farmer will in a day. The American farmer hasn't lost his sense of the "bigness" of the country yet. aud until he does lose it be wlll prefer to work the’large farm rather than the small one. even If be gets no more for his labor "Furthermore—and this is not to be Ignored—arouud that high priced land In the west will be found a more Intel ligent. better educated body of men. taking them "by and large.' tbau tn a given uuuiber of eastern farmers, be cause the factories aud the other city Joys seem to lure a much larger propor tion of the ambitious yuutb of the east. The city Is so close to the farm that the transition is but a step. (Jf course there are many of the most Intelligent farmers of the country here, but the 'farmer with a desire for Intellectual associations— and some have It—will find less of this opportunity In the *10 and $20 localities than In the west. Intelligent farmers, like men In other professions, like intelligent companion- ship. “I am firmly convinced that the tiest opportunities for agriculture He within a few hundred miles of New York city, and my Impression Is that the best way to get the right sort of farmers to go to this land and stay there is to get a number of this kind of men In terested tn one locnllty. thus Insuring Immunity from death by Intellectual starvation. It used to be Imagined that a farmer couldn't starve lu that way. but we know better now " OF TROUTDALE BANK $ 3O2P2 4» 878.40 |88 M |9a5 45 3488.79 34MB .-¿( 32 1795 51 77.88 ..................................
