We came out, looked at the mules teeth, kicked him in the helly, Jerked his tail 3 or 4 times, picked up, a hoof and gave it the once over, poked his stick at the wart that was on his (the mule's) leg (and It was there when I bought him, and if anything, it was smaller), and squirted tobacco juice plumb across the hail then he began: ' "Well, let me see. The old feller is about done for. How come you to starve him? He's reelly too old for us to handle, he's comin 17. That wart will ruin him sooner or later, Might be able to handle him for 13 dollars I fel so sorry for old Bob. He was only 7 years old 6 months ago, and now .he is about to dk ?f ola age. Rather than hobnobble a day or two and then get only 13 dollars, I pitched the bridle to the "liar" and took my money and bought a balloon casing for my lizzie. The very next day I happened to be in Knockdown & Dragout's stables. I heard my same old mule seller trying to sell my mule to Farmer Brown. He was full of bull, and loaded for bear. This is introduction he gave to Mr. Brown?"Yes sir ree: This is the McGee mule comin 7, got all his colt's teeth, clean 83 ?^on' Peart? eats like a goat worth 2 bttpdred bones, but you can have him for 135 dollars.

Mules goner be higher This one will fetch 250 in 30 days' Watch him" (He punched him in the side with a sharp stick and the mule jumped about 5 feet.) Anything with !ifp in it would jump higher. Mr. Brown took him home. I am almost thru farming and fooling with mules, but if I keep at it, I want a regular mule buyfr and mule seller to do my buying and selling both.

Every refrigerator ship which has traveled from Buenos Ayres to New York all summer and through September has had on board tons of frozen turkey, or pagos, as the Argentine calls the Pilgrims' bird. The Western World, which left Buenos Ayres late in August alone carried 130 tons of frozen turkey for the early fall trade in the United Btates. Likewise many a butter and egg man East on a buying trip, wonders if girls will ever reach the limit. Fancy, insisting on having ixgdices, as she does, when the price of one bird alone would have kept the family in beans and potatoes for a week. Fortunately for him, he is at least spared the ignomy of paying for a delicacy every bite of which would remind her of Rudolph Vul-I entino if she but knew the nativity of the perdice. However, she eats with her bald-headed Lothario from the West, nor knowing that the de-J licious morsel before her, the perdiz is far more common in the romantic Argentine than are the men whom she has associated with the Argentine ever since viewing "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." But the perdices, or In plain English, partridges or martinets, are martinets in no frozen state as they cross the Equator. They arc shipped alive. If the Americans are willing to pay, the natives and the steamship company can find ways and means to carry crates of live partridges that twenty-day journey from Buenos Ayres to New York. The hunters during the season can exert their wiles to catch the partridge alive. There birds which resemble which North Americans call quail, are just as difficult to cat^h as the latter. The common method' of the hunters is to get the birds dizzy by circling round their prey, the birds stupidly following them until their heads are in a whirl. When they sober up from their drunk they find themselves Shanghaied and en route north. They are introduced later to Epicurians- as "freshly killed perdices." And Americans pay, and pay willingly, for what the Argentinos use only as an appetizer. Their perdices they serve pickled?perdiz en Escabeche?as part of the finnbre, or first course, to a delicious South American dinner. After the partridge there will come fish, steak, pheasant so what is a mere pickled partridge to an Argentino? What is a mere bird of any sort to that prodigious country which earns its pin money by supplying America with its early fall turkeys and supplying Europe with game all during the season. During July and August agents go through the countryside surrounding Buenos Ayres and Rosario buying turkeys for northern consumption. Accustomed as he is to dealing in thousands and thousands of head of cattle, the Argentine ranch owner feels about the turkey business as the minister does about wedding fees? just a little extra change for his wife's whims. In fact turkeys are raised so easily and so plentifully in the Argentine that their family history reminds us of Ellis Butler's story "Pigs Is Pigs." Santiago , Campion, as American who owns the largest hog ranch in the world, just outside Buenos Ayres, told how his estancio got a flock of turkeys before they knew what was happening. few of the birds wandered away from the fold to be counted among the missing. One day their nests were discovered, a mid a patch of thistle which afforded protection from animal intrusion. Some months later a whole Turkish family, uncles, aunts, grandmothers and babies were found Toosting on the fence. They had not reverted to their wild stage, so it was a simple matter to drive the prodigals back ,.to the barnyard. As it is with turkeys, so it is with all the game birds in the Argentine. Quail, partridge, pheasant, duck, goose are delicacies only to foreigners. They are as common as steak to^ the Argentinos. It has been only within the last few years, according to shippers in the Argentine, that the United States j hasi.drawn upon the Southern source of supply of birds. It is a trade which increases each season, limited onty by the amount of refrigerator space available on the ships between Buenos Ayres, .Montevideo and New York. ' ~;The shipment of. fowl is but an interesting phase of the seasonal trade between Argentine and North America, due to the reversal of the Summer and winter seasons in the two hemispheres.Th$ seasons for turkeys in both countries is winter, but winter in the Argentine means summer in New York. Consequently, when the supply of cold storage turkey in the Statesj carried from the winter before, begins to rim out, the Argentine product is sought. With fruit and eggs the shipment is reciprocal. Great ^quantities of eggs are shipped from the States to 1 the Argentine during the spring months of th<p. north. Then duripg i the northern winter months the Argentine ships eggs to the New York j market.- safe -r _ : .. J.
