Use of the Mule.
Why not raise mules? They are
subject to fewer diseases than horses,
they mature quicker than horses, cost
to breed and raise, there is al
ways ready demand for them at any
age. they have great endurance under

labor; they are sure-footed, steady, not
rattle-headed, active when well bred
and well nourished and are safer than

Setting Out Fruit Trees.
The farm home that does not have
a good orchard, vineyard and plenty
of -mall fruits is missing something
worth while. Why are there so many
tarms without fruits? Surely not be
cause ilie family does not care for
frail. The real reason is because of
llie rush of farm work during the
spring iliere is not time to get the
ground ready and set out the trees or
plants Then many make a half-heart
ed attempt at it, and having poor sne
er- give up the orchard to weeds and
live slock, (lo at the work right. Pre
pare ihe ground thoroughly, and set
out the best trees and plants you can
ge:. Apples, plums, pears, grapes,
Idackhm ides, raspberries and straw-
beriics may all lie grown easily and
within a few years. Order your stock
early and when it comes don’t leave it
dying around the freight depot for two
or three days, Get it home and If
your ground is not ready heel in the
irtts until you are ready to set them
out.—Indiana Farmer.
Forcing Hogs for Killing.
Many farmers are now forcing their
pig s to make the greatest possible
gain in weight before "killing time."
The office of experiment stations of the
Department of Agriculture summarizes
sonic Wisconsin station pig feeding ex
periments covering a period of ten
Dais, with Hie following conclusions:
When- there Is plenty of time for ma
turing the pigs, and it is not necessary
to secure the maximum daily igain, it
i- doubtful if it pays lo grind corn
for pigs. The test shows that where
quirk maturity is nil important item,
’"'•ter results are secured from corn
meal. i>>g S f e d coni meal eat more
grain and make somewhat larger daily
gains. Corn meal can doubtless be
ted to good advantage in finishing oft
a hunch of hogs which were first fed
shidled corn. Changing over to corn
meal near the close of the feeding
period also furnishes a change in the
character of the ration which will lie
satisfactory lo tho animals. When
fitting hogs lo show, sale, or in high
pressure feeding for market, the feed
er win consider it advisable to grind
the corn, even though it Ls expensive
to do so.
Rape Pastures.
Although we have never grown rape
0,1 01| i’ farm, writes a correspondent, ii
has been grown by several of the
neighboring farmers and l have paid
‘lose attention to their success with it.
I intend to try a few acres next sea
son.
As pasture for hogs in the spring
and early part of the summer I do not
think we can find anything equal lo it.
'loung hogs that run on rape pasture
through tlie months of April, May and
■bine are very healthy and heavy boned
they are in excellent condition for the
feed lot.
••ape seems to grow much better in
Father moist ground. The plant, which
slightly resembles cabbage, thrives
’"mi in rich soil. '1 he ground should
in One condition. Give the ground
several harrowings. The best lime to
°' v the seed is in March or first half
01 April, Sow broadcast. Rape can
■ tulure considerable cold weather, but
II °! 'cry much dry weather during the
mi miner, if there is a scarcity of rain
'he plant becomes tough, and there i§

liape also makes a fine pasture for
sheep.
” is more valuable for sheep and
,l '*° steers in tlie fall or winter. When
y<ised for Hie purpose it is better to
rir ”l >t, in rows about SO inches apart,
k’ong in May. Very often two or three
crops can lie cut in one season. It
makes excellent feed for lambs.
Many farmers do not know the pos
sibilities of rape, and it Is not as ex
tensively grown as It should be or ns
it will be In the near future.—Indi

New Life on the Farm.
Prof. Halley of Cornell University,
New York, in a recent talk to the
farmers of that state said that schools
should be well in touch with affairs of
farm life, and further:
"I believe in the rural schools. Hut
like other social institutions In the
country they are In a state of arrested
development, as compared with the
like situations In the city. With the
telephone, th multiplied means of
transportation, the country Is not go
ing to tumble headlong into the city,
hut the city Is going to move out into
ilie country, forming small suburban
centers,
"There Is going to be more difficulty
in gc ting a living from farm lands
hereafter. The problems the farm will
have to face ere twenty times more
numerous and more complex than fif
ty years ago. So we are brought te
the absolute necessity of developing
a new point of view towards agricul
tural life and Industry. If you be
lieve there are possibilities of making
a good living on the land, and life
on ihe land is highly honorable, stick
to It. If the city life gels the best
young men and women who are
brought up in the country, it will be
tlie lily's glory and the country’s fault
for not developing this point of view,
tlie appreciation of the science of agri
culture, and for not keeping in touch
with social instructions of our age in
the rural districts as well as In the
city. And this reorganization of the
rural school is goinj to We a great
part in ibis development of the rural
life and community.
"The farm labor problem will not lie
settled until you train up farm arti
sans who have pride in their work ns
ihe shop artisan has in his work."
Notes for The Farmer.
The barrel churn is not excelled for
making good butter.
The general market prefers butter
with color like what is usual in June.
Excessive washing may remove some
of the volatile oils from butter and
lisscn i s delicate flavor.
Consumers of butter are very often
the best to sell a high grade to. but
ihe seller should consider the cost of
delivering.
Cows that have to drink unclean
water do not give choice milk; and af-
ttr they have waded in nasty water,
iheir uddeis are filthy and defile milk.
Do not keep on churning till the but
ter gathers in large lumps. Stop when
ihe butter granules are the size of
wheat grains and float freely on tlie
buttermilk.
If startling with a cream separator,
study carefully the directions of the
manufacturer. He knows what his
machinery can*do and how to use it
to the best advantage.
If a barrel churn is run too fast,
tlie cream will not fall from one end
to the other as is should; and if run
too slow, the cream will slip along the
sides of the churn and fail to be agi
tated enough.
If the buttermilk is strained through
cheese cloth or a hair-strainer, crumbs
of butter will be caught that would
otherwise Ik* lost. Keep the cheese
cloth or the rair strainer scrupulously
clean, or the blitter may deteriorate.
Under cleanly farm conditions, the
lactic acid bacteria predominates over
all other kinds; and the lactic acid
ones are tlie helpful kind. The laid
ones are carried in dirt. Keep dirt out
of milk, and llie bad ones will be
largely kept out. The importance of
cleanliness is so great that the subject
will bear being recalled to mind now
and then—From "Drops of Dairy
Cream” in the Progressive Farmer.
Wolf Hunter’s Record.
Ninety-three limber wolves killed in
less than a month’s time is the record
made by James MacIntyre of Quatsino,
who lias presented a bill to the govern
ment agent here for $1395, the amount
of bounty at tlie rale of $15 a head.
An examination of Mr. MacIntyre’s
account showed that some of the
wolves were killed before February 1,
tlie date on which the increased boun
ty came into effect, and on these he
will be allowed only $5 per head, but
lie has evidence enough of February's
work to make his claim when revised
amount to a boat $1000.
it is reported that Indians up the
coast, who have learned of the in-
creasecvxcvx vxv x shrd s ta setaoinn
crease in bounty on panthers and
wolves to $15 a head each, have tak
en to the woods on a hunt, and it is
expected that they will soon have
large sums to collect from the govern
ment.—New Alberni Press.

Question of Duty In Mexico.
"To demonstrate the shrewdness of
'the Mexican merchant I want to tell
you a story,” said L. O. Ellis, of
Mexico. "Shortly before I left a cer
tain merchant sent an order to a
large furniture bouse In this country
for an iron bed. He instructed 'the
firm to unscrew the small brass knobs
which adorned the Ironwork. Th9
shipping clerk for the firm, when he
read the instructions, assumed, ap
parently, that the Mexican was crazy
and neglected to comply with the re
quest. Consequently, when the bed
was delivered to the Mexican he had
to pay the same price for it as if it
had been constructed entirely of brass.
If the knobB had been taken off the
charges would have been based on
the weight of the bed in iron. Be
cause the knobs were brass the auth
orities charged the bed up as brass,
thus making the duty about four times
what It should have been."—Washing
