Mules arc Profitable.
Following ure a few reasons
given by a correspondent of Kan-
sas Runner why furmiirs snould
raise mules:
1. Thev ean be raised oln iper
than any other stock.
'2. They will go on the market
much voiinger than any horse.
!J. They can ho handled at 2
years old und if properly man-
aged will do as much work as a
4-year-old horse and ho the bet-
ter for it.
1. They are less subject to dis-
eases than any other stock and
not liable to get blemishes by
wire or otherwise. I have raised
mules a number of years and
never had one blemished but
have had line horses nearly
ruined.
5 They avoid danger and do
not get into holes or dangerous
places. If they run away they
seldom hurt thomselves or any-
thing else much. The writer Iiiib
nearly always a good bunch of
mules and has not been kicked
but twice in twenty years and
both times by a horse.
(5. They stand heat much hot-
tor than horses. If you do not
think so try a span on your
binder some hot sultry day by
the side of your horses.
7. They can stand more abuse
and hardship than the horse but
appreciate good treatment more
than any other animal living and
live to greator age than horses.
8. There is profit in mule-raising
because of quicker growth be-
ing inarkotablo at 55 years old. A
horse has o bo 5 years old thus

two years' feed is saved. J have
sold a number of 2-year-old mules
for $150 each.
0. There is always a good de-
mand for mules of from 5 months
up to 15 years old. Were there
a ureater number of mules there
would be plenty of buyers. In
time of war mules are always
high. An army can do without
guns as well as without mules.
It was during the civil war the
writer lirst learned to appreciate
the mule.
10. Mules can be raised with
less care than cattle. They will
eat straw or anything that cattle
will. In 15)00 the writer bought
twenty mules at weaning time
wintered them on wheat pasture
sold them January 1 for $1100
more than they cost him The
cost of feeding was about .fllOO
but put it at $500 and it will
leave $070 for trouble care and
interest on monoy. That would
seem a fair profit but the real
profit was $1000.
11. Two mules can be raised
till !5 years old on the same feed
as one steer. The steer will be
worth from $150 to S75; the mules
from S250 to $1500.
