Care of Mare and Colt?Home
Raised Mules as Coed as Any.
The tremendous outlay for mule
power on the farm can be eliminated
" to a large extent in South Carolina.
Already a considerable number of farmers
in the state are raising their
mules at home and if this policy is
adopted by all the state's farmers, tho
large annual drain on the state's re- ;
sources for this product will be
stopped.
Invested in brood mares, the i
amount usually spent for mules would
purchase large, well-bred draft mares
of the right type for producing mules. I
The cost of raising mule colts on the
farm to an age at which they can he
put to work is about $110 each, when
even every item in the process is
charged against him. This amount
sounds large, but the fact is that most
of it is charged against things that ,
are not missed on the average farm,
since the colt can be developed largely
on pastures and products of the
faxm that would probably not be marketed
In any other way.
Mares selected for mule raising
should be of draft type, with quality. !
and should weigh about 1.400 pounds. ;
though smaller mares are used with
good results for producing mules of
light woight. If mares are bred to
foal In fall, when work on the farm Is
usually lighter and fall pastures are
good, they need lose very little time
during the year from their work in I
*iiw neia. i-igni worn is beneficial to
a brood n.are even up to the time of
foaling, and tho resultant colt is
stronger and more thrifty because of
It, provided the mare lias been properly
nourished with succulent feed for a
few weeks before foaliiu.
The average period of gestation, or
1imo betw.ea service and fonline, is
about "40 da s or l1 month-*, a'.lough
this var as somewhat in both directions.
With this information, a farmer
ran have his mare foal at about the
proper time.
Tho pregnant mare's grain ration
should ho proportioned to the amount
k' of worn she does. About three weeks
' before foaling, wheat bran should he
added to her feed, the proportion ot
tills being gradually increased and
other grain proportions decreased as
foaling time approaches. Iler t'ood
should be altogether free of moldy
grain or woody fodder or straw.
An essential point is to give the
fnare in foal a large, roomy box stall.
After foaling, mares should rest for
about two weeks before being put back
at work.
Give the mare and her colt as much
pasturage as possible, with the addition
of bran and grain whilo the colt 1
la young. Care and attention are es
eential to mature the colt to proper
size and grain should he given to it
regularly with its pasturage or elean
hay.
Do not let a colt follow its mother on
the road or in the field. Do not let a
colt suck while the mare Is overheated.
Always let the ntare cool olT lirst.
That mules can he raised prolitably
In South Carolina has !> en demonstrated
by several farmers In the
state, who save the expenditure usually
made for mule power and claim tor
the home-raised mule many advan*
tastes over its imported competitor. *
Write to Sidney S. Rlttenberg, Clemson
College, for an itemized statement
of a comparison of mare and mule.

LETTERS TO CLEMSON.
In seeking information or help from
Ctemson College, farmers should address
the expert or ofllcer in whose
line the point In question is, whenever
possible. This will avoid delays
which are sometimes costly. This is
especially true of such matters as Insect
pests, plant diseases and animal
diseases, which cAn spread so rapidly. I
In outbreaks of hog cholera, farmers
should cither communicate Immediate- j
ly with the county demonstration >
agent or with the veterinary division
of Clemson College. Merely addrennlnR
the college will get a letter to Ita
goal eventually, but sometimes delays
which are dangerous come about. It
ia a good plan for a farmer to keep
one of the experiment station bulletins
always at hand, an in the front of
each of these bulletins will be found
t^e experiment ntat'rm staff, which
will serve an a directory to any one 1
wishing to write to the college for Information.

Oniy Remedy for Re'fishness.
What is most pitiful and at the
same time amusing about the people '
who give themselves up to selfishness 1
is their habit of referring the whole '
universe to themselves. It is ts if 1
they were at the center, with till life '
radiating about them. Through their '
false sense of adjustment .In- had
themselves continuailv subjoeted to 1
disappointing and irrituti: - and <!i.t
pirit'.Mg adventures. Atti udt re
marks, behavior, pcrittips not in "in
least related to themselves, tlicy cause
to assume tin imaginary relation
Their feelings tire likely to be in a
continual state of turmoil. They en ;
courage it by persisting in the belie!
that tho trouble lies outside. And yet
the remedy is always waiting for then,
in their consciousness. To make life
over they need only to make ovei
themselves.
Quarantined.
In one of the little mountain towns
of tho South a chautauqua meeting
was held last summer for the first
time. The fact was advertised for
some distance round the town, but the
older negroes, especially, did not understand
what it was all about. Across
tho front of the little hotel of the village
was flung a banner hearing tho
one word, "Chautauqua." Hp to thiB
hotel one day drove an old negro in a
anc-horse wagon containing a few
vegetables, which he hoped to sell to
tho proprietor, as he had done on
former ocrasions Rut when he saw
tho banner with its ominous word ho

The express was approaching a rail- j
way bridge that spanned a deep river,
and a stout old lady in one of the
compartments showed signs of nervousness
As the train went marine
across the structure she did not speak
u word, but seemed to be holding her
breath. "There," said a gentleman in
a neighboring seat, "we are over it
safely." The old lady heaved an ex
plosive sigh. "Well," she said, "if we i
had gone to the bottom I should have ]

wouldn't have been my weight that
did it. I bore up so that 1 really made
