THE DONKEY AND MULE.
The Mule Makes a Visit to the Donkey
Exchange of Views.
Having learned the time the Mule
expected to make his visit to the Don
key, I went .over, and after supper
some new cob pipes were brought out
anti we adjourned to the piazza for -a
smoke. After the Mule had adjusted
the skirts of bis swallow-tailed coat,
he asked what the Doukey thought of
the weather. He replied that there
was too much rain for fodder-pulling
and for cotton on grey land, as it was
shedding too much, and in places was
taking the rust; though, on red lands,
there was no cause for complaint, as i(
was not only growing but was taking
on fruit very rapidly. It was, also,
good for sweet potatoes, which crop,
he was satisfied, would be quite short,
as the dry spring prevented the plant
ing of usual acreage. 11 was, also,
fine for turnips, and that an unusual
quantity had been sown.
The Mule said he had not sown any
yet, but would go to the store to
morrow and get a paper of seed and
sow them certain.
The Donkey advised him to do so
and he would give him a few seed of
tie old-fashioned, rough-leaved varie
ty that had been raised here since
Georgia was first settled. He also
advised him to plant bunch beans
and radishes to cat j ust before frost,
and to plant a ,bcd of cabbage seeds
to be planted out in November to
make early spring cabbnge. The
cold will not hurt them. A few will
go to seed, but they can be cut down
and others put in the place in March.
The Mulo said lie believed he
would risk a paper of seed anyway
and wanted to know what the Don
key thought of the fine corn crop. lie
said the corn was good, but thought
many farmers would be disappointed
in the yield at gathering time, as the
ears was sharp at the end and the
covering of shucks was thicker than
common. However, there will be
enough made to supply the home con
sumption if properly taken care of.
About this time the Donkey’s little
girl came out with her doll to kiss
her father good night. As she start
ed back in passing the Mule she asked
him if his little girl bad any dolls.
He told her that he was a bachelor
and didn’t have any children at his
house. The question seemed to make
him skittish all the rest of the evening,
and he didn’t seem inclined to talk
much.
Continuing, the Donkey said that
too much corn was fed to work stock
anyway. That he commenced to sow-
oats in September and planted enough
to feed his stock at least eight or ten
months of the year. He found that
early sowing would give them a good
start before cold weather commenced,
and they would be taller and the
grain much heavier than those sown
later, besides ripening sooner.
The Mule remarked that he sup
posed if he planted so many oats lie
planted but little corn.
The Donkey said, however, that he
planted the usual acreage and fed it to
hogs to make pork. That he found
it the only way to make farming re
munerative, requiring but little out
lay to make a grain crop, and unless
he raised his meat he could not well
sec how he could get along. Besides
the continued rains had made an im
mense-quantity of good grass, and he
proposed to save a much large quan
tity than usual, that on cold winter
days he might fill his troughs with
good sound hay and stock would
require but little other feed.
The Mule said he thought he would
sow a sack of oats after Christmas.
That if they hit right they would
come in in a mighty good time, and if
they didn’t it would not be much loss
nny way, and that lie would try and
pull a one horse wagon load of hay on
the branch where he couldn’t plow
his cotton.
As the night was short we conclud
ed to go home after promising the
Mule to spend all evening with him
soon. Old Slick.
