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. N. S.
