Our Uncle Sam has sometimes a dry way of presenting a vital fact, tucking It away, for example, in a rather ap palling table of figures; also In this strenuous day most of ns read "on the run," and so between the two condl tlons we often miss the significance of a valuable item. It is of about the same use to us as the pearl In the undiscovered oyster or truth at the bot tom of her well. But any one who will dig into the Intel v IrcumI government report - on farm animals will find this clear fact that on Jan. 1, 1908, the average value per head of mules throughout the coun try was greater tbr the average Talus of any other class of animals kept on farms. The mule's value per head was tl07.76 against $03.41 for the horse. TnvMtiirntln still further back, be can find that the year 1900 was one of tremendous activity In horse and mule markets and of unparalleled prosperity for horse and mule breeders. Prices bounded skyward, and for all classes there was a demand greater than the market could eunnly. This demand shows every indication of belug well maintained and with little present like lihood of an oversupply. It is true that, high as it is. the av erage price of January, 1908, for mules la some dollars below that of January, 1907. Whatever cause one may choose to assign for this, it seems to have no ffect on the Interest that now prevails In mule raising. A good mule is a money maker and brings the ready cash at any and all times.; The Boer war cleaned a lot of small mules out of tn country, and breeders are main taining that Improvement by raising more extensively the "big" mule. It is on the whole a larger sized and better animal that is now coming into the mule markets. Muls Stataa and Marktts. Although many of the best draft mules are sold to the cities of the north at top prices and many are used on the farms of the central west, the backbone of the mule industry Is the southern demand. Kansas City and St Louis handle most of the mules Of this country, and the mules) are mostly bred in the states In touch with these cities. But there are plenty of other regions where the conditions of soil, climate and feed and forage growth are equally good for an imal production. It seems that In the southern states east of the Mississippi river mule raising might fit especially well into the general scheme of farm ing. Atlanta is, as a fact, becoming a great distributing point for mules. CUsms of Animals. But wherever and by whoniHoever the mule may bo rained he can liurdly help being a money coiner under pres ent conditions. Northern and western cities are using more of the large, heavy draft mule tenuis than ever be fore. Smaller animals, but of best quality, have their market as sugar mules and best cotton mules, while mora Inferior products are also wanted a cotton, pit aud pack animals. rattle In the Utile lu arrive, and when t'ji3 r:r.ve!o;:3(' sound meets the enr of t!:e rlue keeper he knows that .mcli a p!g will lever go Into the pork barrel or Into the breetlins pen. - James Atkinson.

The rich crop of prizes which the king's cattle and sheep won at the Blnglcy Hall show, Birmingham, Is the latest demonstration of his majesty's success as a farmer, of which he is so deservedly proud. When the king be gan breeding nearly forty years ago the Sandringham farm lands were in an almost hopeless condition, barren j and barely capable of cultivation. To- i day. according to Rider Haggard, "it j Is a wonderful farm, for nowhere la so much high bred stock to be seen on the same area." But probably no where will you find such an array of plates and cups won at shows as that hlch Sandringham boasts. At a sin gle exhibition his majesty once won no fewer than fourteen first pmes. In 1903 he captured five first prizes and cups in addition to numerous seconds and thirds. In 1904 his prizes num bered twenty. In 1905 he won a cham pion plate, a challenge cup and eight een other prizes, including four firsts, while last year he took at the Smltb- fleld show ten firsts, nine breed cups and plates, six other prizes and several highly commendeds," and every prize winner he has bred himself.

Any locality that will grow clover of any species, that Is favorable to the production of alfalfa, peas or beans or where grains aro rapidly grown, not only corn, but barley, wheat, oats or rye, will I a favorable situation for the aucceasful production of pork.

There la much greater mortality among young pigs In countries where corn la grown and fed thau Is the case where the small cereals like oats, bar ley, wheat and rye are used to make np the ration of the brood aows. This Indicates, therefore, that the corn must be lacking In a measure In those con tttuenta, such as protein aud mineral matter, that are needed In the makeup of young pigs. The sooner that we accept this atate of affairs as a fact the better It will be for the pig crop of the corn belt. It should bt stated that where one has on band a aupply of good oats tbla grain In Itself, along with a little corn In cold weather, will bring a bunch of aows up to the farrowing period In aplendld condition. Vnllke corn, oata may be very liberally fed with prac tically do danger of overdoing the mat ter. If oata are used there will not be the aame need, or at least there will not be ao large a demand, for mineral matter on the aide, because oats are rich In those subetsncea.
