Mt'I.KM AND HOItaE. i Mules on an average are more val uable tli a I) horses, are more easily raised, are not so subject to disease, are not likely to run nray Jo wagon ing an I ploughing, and are longer lived, will do more work and require less feed and attention; tliey are stronger, will draw heavier loads and stand a great dial more hardship, and are iu every way preferable to horses for general farm use. Mules come in earlier, being ready for light work when three rears old. They will then do enough work on the furm to pay for .their feed, and after having attain ed the ago of tour years they are ready for any kind of service. But the horse (colt) must be kept until he is four years old before he is worked at all, and wheu he is four he must be a first rate colt to bring as much as the mule will at two years old. But as sume the animals are both required for farm work, see what n difference there is in favor of the mule. The working life of the mule can be safely estimated at thirty years, and that of the horse at ten years. Bo while a mule is working its life out, three horses will be required to do equal service. But these are not the only items. The saving of feed is at least one-fourth, or not less than C47 bush els of corn and 427 tons of hay. This amount, added to the original saving in purchase of animals, shows an ad vantage iu favor of the use of the mule over the horse of over $1,000 during the ordinary life of the ani mal. The mule is less dainty about food, ungriiund grain and dry feed be ing just the thing for him. There are still other advantages in favor of the mule too numerous to uientian. Ex change. A CHEAT FAKJIKIt IN UKOKttlA. Col. Lee Gordon owns and culti vates 20,000 acres, the original cost of which was $450,000. He has 800 laborets, but is gradually adopting the tenant system. He raises twice as much corn as he needs. Six overseer superintend the plantations, and raise from 1,400 to 2,000 bales of cotton. No fertilizers are used, as Col. Gordon believes them to be productive of cat erpillars. Formerly' be spent $12, 000 per annum in guanos and phos phates, but now makes his own manure. Xfr. li. ii. Ubleman does the practice or me plantations on the following plan : He assesses each bead of a family $3 a year, whether lie is sick or not ; and thus, by taxing each man lightly, it is made burdensome on noue. He is a good physician, and says that is the healthiest country he ever saw. Only two adults died last year out of ovet a throuaand - ontJa J he preaching is done on the same plan. There is a negro preacher on a $3,000 salary, who rides, about the country in his two-horse buggy, as fat ns a bishop and as happy as a prince, He charges $8 a head for dealing out salvation the year round, and with a membership of 1,500, never gets less than $3,000 per annum out of the place. On an extensive farm in England the horses wero fed all through the year's plowing on boiled wheat and cut straw, as their sole feed. The far mcr reports that bis horses were uever stronger to labor or looked better, Another farmer ted his store pigs with diseased potatoes, boiled and mashed, to which had been added equal parts of red wheat and tale barley, ground into meal. He reports ."never do I. remember to have had pigs get on better. I have, also, thir ty porkers doing well on the same food. They are not only growing, bu fattening rapidly. It is proper just here to remark, that wheat abounds particularly with gluten, or muscle making mat ter. Hence it is excellent to restore strength, and -good for all working animals. An Irish soldier, pretending to dumbness, and the surgeon of the reg iment, after several attempts to re store him, declaring him incurable was discharged, lie, m a short time afterward, enlisted iu another corps, ana being recognized by an old com rade, aud questioned bow he learned to speak: "By St. Patrick !" replied Paddy, "ten guineas would make any man spake. John Hues: was the accepted suitor of Sarah Williams, a poor but honest young Brooklyn person. Ao aunt died aud left Sarah $40,000, and then she told John she wouldn t be hu trued 8o he has lugged her before the courts. When thev catch a man tratherin Delaware peaches at midnight they preserve whatever good traits he has left iu him by shooting half a pint of sail into his legs.
