BIG DRAIN ON RESOURCES J Money Now Spent For Mules Would SI Purchase Good Draft Mares From raj Which to Obtain Mules?Points on s! Care of Mare and Colt?Homo raj Raised Mules as Good as Any. The tremendous outlay for mulie j|i power on the farm can :be eliminated 11 to a large extent in South Carolina. [|| Already a considerable number of far- e| mers in the state are raising their [fjj mules at home and if this Dolicy is!Si adopted by all the state's farmers, the [|j large annual drain on the state's resources for this product will be [i| stopped. 63! Invested in brood mares, the s| amount usually spent for mules would jijOl purchase large, well-bred draft mares g| of the right type for producing mules. S The cost of raising mule colts on the ly farm to an age at which they can be [3j put to work is about $90 each, when [a even every item in the process ia fljj charged against him. This amount [a frounds large, but the fact is that most M Df it is charged against things that Eire not missed on the average farm, Sj since the colt can be developed large- [a ly on pastures and products of the M farm that would probably not be mar- ?j| keted in any other way. ^ Mares selected for mule raising fel should be of draft type, with quality, jD md should weigh about 1,400 pounds, hi though smaller mares are used with p good results for producing mules of at light weight. If mares are bred to p foal in fall, when work on the farm ia [31 usually lighter and fall pastures are jfj[ good, they need lose very little time during the year from their work in |jj the field. Light work is beneficial to gj a brood n.are even up to the time of [fi foaling, and the resultant oolt Is HJ stronger and more thrifty because of [|i It, provided the mare has been proper- Gj! ly nourished with succulent feed for a Si few weeks before foaling. jlj The average period of gestation, or g| time between service and foaling, is . ibout 340 days or 11 months, although this varies somewhat in both directions. With this information, a farm- ? ar can have his mare foal at about the proper time. lj The pregnant mare's grain ration u should be proportioned to the amount lj Df work she does. About three weeks || U ?* *?11 1 4 kA 3 Dtuorc lO&UIlg, WIlttilL L/i <111 311UU1U uc | added to her feed, the proportion of this being gradually increased and 1 >ther grain proportions decreased as | foaling time approaches. Her foods-J should be altogether free of moldy p ^rain or woody fodaer or straw. ;>t^* An essential point is to give .tfrJPl mare in foal a large, roomy box 4sta4l-V.I After foaling, mares should Test for, ' ibout two weeks before being put back it work. I Give tfie mare and her colt as much J pasturage as possible, with the addi- p tion of bran and grain while the colt S Is young. Care and attention are es- I sential to mature the colt to proper ? Bize and grain should be given to it ff regularly with its pasturage o?r clean hay. J Do not let a colt follow its mother on | the road or in the field. Do npt let a F colt suck while the mare is overheat- ed. Always let the mare cool off first. That mi|les can be raised profit- ? ably in South Carolina has been dem- j" onstrated by several farmers in the ! state, who save the expenditure usual- H [y made for mule power and claim for , Lj the home-raised mule many advan- j n tages over its imported competitor.!

H Livestock Demonstration Agent, 3 Clemson Agricultural College. L LETTERS TO CLEMSON. L ? U In seeking information or help from ? Clemson College, farmers should ad dress the expert or officer in whose line the point in question is, when- L ever possible. This will avoid delays ? which are sometimes costly. This is especially true of such matters as in sect posts, plant diseases and animal L diseases, which can spread so rapidly. J In outbreaks of hog cholera, farmers - should either communicate immediate- 3 ly with the county demonstration y agent or with the veterinary division U of Clemson College. Merely address- H ing the college will get a letter to its -j goal eventually, but sometimes delays jj which ai;e dangerous come about. It U is a good plan for a farmer to keep ij one of the experiment station bulletins 3 always at hand, as In the front of J each of these bulletins will be found ^ the experiment station staff, which y will serve as a directory to any one 5 wishing to write to the college for in- 3 formation. Ij y The summer of 1915 was the most L successful for silo-building that South S Carolina has ever had. There is much 3 yet to be done in this line, however, "j and it is to be hoped that this year's 1| record will be far exceeded next year l! i | Sugar and During the Fi 1 (or any 6ther ( a 1 T}tT^v TTT1 11 drvl 1 o OK 11% 01 VV C(VWUI &K5??
