Within a few days the same mules were sold to an other party at a handsome profit. Good, big, rugged mules with plenty of meat on them are selling for con siderably more than $1,000 a pair. In fact, $1000 teams are getting to be quite common. A big mule dealer recently stated that in his opinion the best mules would be averaging $1500 a pair within the next year. These high prices m ill be a surprise to those who thought the horse and male market would soon be a thing of the past. Mule buyers are can vassing the country everywhere for all kinds of mules. Those who have not kept up with the mule market will be very much surprised. Plen ty of mule colts have brought more than $200 each. The owners of good jacks must get this Information to their customers some way before the breeding season starts. The mule business promises to be very profit able. In nearly every case mules are the first to Increase In price. Good horses soon follow In value. Just as soon as the mare owners wake up they will want more mule colts. Then those Iwho can see far enough ahead will want some good mares to raise mules from The American Breeder. Miss Daisy Crocker of Mosier was a week end visitor Iwlth friends In Heppner.
