VALUABLE ANIMALS, Mitt in Price of Cotton ke a aturd Demand, aut War flas Increased the Demand Until Now a Mule is Wortti More Than a Horsez.BreedinX Will Pay HERE will be a famine in the - mule market in the next few years, as the result of war, that will prove very trouble some to the Sounthern farmers. This is the opinion of every nae raiser and dealer in the Sou',hvwest. It has sent -up the rrice of the sturdy and stub born animal that doEs the bulk of tbe farm work south of the Ohio A." 'Potomac; and the price still tends up ward, and will cost the British War Department half a million mnore than its original estimate for mules. Bat, however great the advance in price it will not mend the matter or prevcnt a Samnie. The mule has been found so neces sary in war and the American mule so superior to the Spanish and Italian animal that there has been a drain on the market in this country which it cannot stand. The market, more over, was caught in a somewhat de nuded state, with a smaller crop of animals on hand than ever before. Mule raising for some five or six years had ceased to be as profitable as here tofore and many mule growers had re tired from business. The bulk of the mule crop is grown in Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky au] Tennessee, the animal being shiopd to the South and Southwest. There was a steady decline in prices until 1837, when, in consequence of the Spanisi War prices advanced. This decline is partly attributable to the fail in the value of the horse, due to the areater use of bicycles, trolley cars, etc. The horse, however, has fallen off more thaa the mule in value, and the latter, in spite of ignoble origin, commands a better price. The average value of a mulo, includ ing the young and old, is $14.9G; of a horse only $37.40. The Cuban insurrection brou:;ht the mule back into favor and created a demand for mules, which has con tinued ever since. Just now there is a periol of war, especially in tropical countries, where the male is an abso lute necessity. The demand for the animals has, therefore, greatly in crease!I, and at the same time the ad vauce in the price of cotton has caused the Southern farmers to improve their I places and increase their stock, w.hich they greatly needed. There is a su.li cent amount of mule stock left over to supply the present demand, but at greatly advanced 1.rices. But when this supply is exhausted it is going tc cause a mule famine. The mule crop is a slow one and not to be harvested in a single year like corn or wheat o colton. There arc comparatively fen mule breeders operating siock farmne 2nt now. it will take some time t( get these farms in operation. purchust the jacks and brood mares. Ther there will have to be a Ion:; wait anc a vear or so to bring the male colt t< L a.nturity. Altogettier it will takt fre ror four years to get any retarx beeg-ti me the nmul es ar< put upn the mar a i-:AI J .male fauine. There is the predic tion, if it can be call a prediction, based1 npon the solid fact that the United States has cut down its output Iof mules from thirty-three to fifty pes cent. just at a t-ine when th.- demand for mules has become greater than ever because of war. The export of mules from this coun try a year- ago was not over 1000 aunnually. In 1837, with the Cuban wvar, it rose to 8000J. It was probably 20,000 to 25,000 last year and will be even greater for 1900. The Spaniard~ first began the export of mule;3 for use in the Cuban revolution. They found the animal extremely valuable and indleed necessary in their camplaigns against the Cubans in the mountains. They had to travel long distances fromi the railroads, and th.ey needed lat ge numbers of pack mules, animals that could stand the climate of Cuba. A Spanish commission was established at New Orleans for the shipment of mules to Cabr, and perhaps 10,003 were sent to tl~at island to help sub due the Cubar~s. On the very eve of the war between the Unite:l States and Spain, Spain still had a large number of mules in this country. A cargo of the animals had been placed upon the Spanish steamer Buaenven tura, which was about leaving for Havana, when an order from Wash ington stopped the shipment on the ground that the mules were intended for the Spanish army to be used! against this country., The animals were disembarked and driven back to tbe stock yards,and the Buenaventura, which had remained here dangerously late in order to take on the animals, put out to sea, only to be captured by the American fleet in the Gulf and' condemned as a prize of war. The de cision was subsequently reversed and the value of the vessel paid over to the owners. The Spaniards announced them selves well pleased with their experi ences with American mules and de clared that , a bountiful supply of these animals doubled the efficiency of an army operating in the field, and having long expeditions to make. When the United States went to war with Spain, it protitedl by the experi ence of that country and supplied its: army in Cuba with a large force of mles. The same thing was done in the Philippines, and the Government demand calle'd for 15,000 animals. Then came the Beer war. The British War Office had heard of the experience of Spain and the United! States in the use of mules in war, and decided to try the animal. It also ade New Orleans the headquarters of the mule purchasing business. Bme 12,000 or 13,006 mules bayvd al ready been sent to South Africa. The nimals have given satisfaction to the British Government, so much so that the order has been increased to 2i. 000, and will probably run up to 40, 000, with from three to four cargoe of mules leaving New Orleans eac week. The Boer sympathizers in Cape Colony have endeavored to arouse a prejudice against the Ameri can animals brought there, and the papers, which are known to lbe luke warm, are filled with stories that the: imported mules have brought gian- i 1,6 eot=ntry. There is an outbreak or rlanders among the animals, but thatcc )utbreak came after the animals .and ,d in South Africa, and was ps:sibly MA tie to the exhausted coiiitioi in j which the animals reached Africa, wvhich rendered them prone to the many diseases that prevail there de- tn structive to horses and mules. The Afrikander protest against tho importation of American mules has led the British Government to order the inoculation of all the animals witii the Pasteur serum before being suinped from here; but this inocula tion has shown not a single glandered D animal, thereby going a long way to prove that the outbreak of glanders among the American pack animals was not brought there by them. In Bi no wise dissoaded by the protests of co the native farmers of the Cape Colony th against the importation of America mules, the British Wrar Ofeo will in crease the amount of its purchases; ha and after experimieuting with Italian and Andalusian mules it-bas closed its purchasing bureaus in Naples and Gibraltar, and will use only American auimals bought in the Southwest and fr, shipped throngh Ne v Orleans. Tie extent of the purchases will b depend, of course, on the duration oi the Boer war. Present appearances would seem to call for 30,000 or mori mules. War is a heavy consumer of mles. They wear out in a compara tikely short timae, for they receive very lititle attention-one of their chief merits being their toughness and their ab-ility tc take care of them selves and to ndure all the privations to which they may ue sabjected. They:. are completely used up and of little value after a campaign, as the United 0 States found when it tried to sell b i some of the supertinous mules em ployed in the Santiago campaidn. t Whether the mule would be useful e C in a war in a tenwperate country is a question that cannot well be determ ined. His toughness, his stolid ness, his ability to gct along with lit. t!e care, to stand any climate, and to n exist with far less water and food than his half brother the horse, would c I seem to make him a valuable animal t for armnf paching purposes in any climate, but to his importance, value I and indeed necessity in a campaign Iin a tropical or semi-tropical country c the United States, Great BriLaim and Spain can ail testify. He is now 1 more important to an army than a horse, ain'd as essential as the artiliery f I!lc Withont him au army caa no longer move any distance without danger of ruuning out of its snoplies. The recent fight at Nicholson's Nek bore evidence to the importance of the mule in warfare; for the result of the battle was largely due to the mules, which ran olf and left the British without ammunition-these, by the by, were Spanish, not Amerl ccan mules, the first cargo of the latter having not yet reached Cape Colony. At present nearly all the mules at the front in South Africa are the Ameri can animal, who are giving Generals Baler, Gatacre and Methuen .vala able assistance in their canmpaign. It can be readily seen from thxeqe facts why a mule framine is threatened in the early fnture when the present supply of uiules is exhausted. _Mule br eeding has star ted up largely in alt pats of the West and Southwest, in nonseqnence of the improved value of F~he e mares is now very limited, and it will be somne years, before the new cro'> of ruimas is on the market. -New York Sn Elevator Edne'ation.

' (TT HILE the world of specu lators is occupied in guessing as to the future movement of Marcus ly, the Montana millionaire, his ily and friends know that in a very )rt time he will retire to the mag icent estate he has created in the tter Root Valley, the famous Bitter ot stock farm. This immense ranch :prises in the ranch proper more in 17,000 acres, with over 30,000 res of mountain lands, used solely - pasturage. In summer the place s all the charms of a feudal estate, d even in the dead of winter it is I of interest. One reason so little read of it is that it is quite a distance )m the beaten track. Up to a little >re than a decade ago nearly the ioleranch consisted of barren, arid nech lands, but when Mr. Daly ac ired the land ho made it blossom e the rose. The bottom lands were rtially watered by a tiny creek, der being a scarce article; and Mr. aly immediately inaugurated a sys m of irrigation, at a cost of $350,000, bere are numerous large ditche Lich divert the waters of Skalkah< id Gird's Creeks which supply wate ough all the time, bat to guari ,ainst every possibility a large cana Ter twenty miles long has recentl; en completed, which is connecte' ith the river.

Mr. Daly for his heat en employs only specialists. The way the name of the Bitte> oot ranch has become famoun troughont the sporting world, both ir merica and abroad, is because of it: mons horses, which born and bred i this ranch have borne away the nors on every racetrack of note, is is Marcus Daly's one hobby rses and racing. Hp en and 'vered circular tracks, h st train g inclosures, are the admiration of 'ery racing raan. Mr. Daly went to the business systematically; he t visited the most celebrated stock rms and stables in this country; m each he purchased the choicest t, the fastest strains of racing blood; en he sent to England, - France, ria and Arabia, where no horse is too high priced for him to secure this Bitter Root ranch in the wilds Montana; this blending of the ood of centuries of the moss illus os lineage has brought forth ine wonders whose achievements e amazed the racing world. No itter where these princes and prin ises have been reared they can find fault with their quarters here. Over 700 acres sown with blue iss are devoted to the stud pad. eks and to the brood mares and cir colts. Nearly 1500 actes have en set aside for the oughbreds for this purpose ' has been cut into hundreds of high-fenced pad. sks. Near by is the residence of n Lucas, the genial Kentuckian, famous expert breeder in charge the thoroughbreds; grouped around massive barns, cottages, orchards gardens. Everywhere are shade es and driveways, running water, king a veritable equine paradise. A HORSE PALAcEr :n the centre of this thoroughbred >artment is the pride of Daly's Lrt, the famous "Tammiany Castle," ated on a plateau which rises gen fully 100 feet above the surround lands. Mr. Lucas designed the tie and will show the favored ones :r it with a good deal of pride. It a one-story brick building, fire of in every detai!. In it are only stalls an]1 an offiee. These stalls eightee feet square and have a k celin"' tvrel e inches in thick s. Eae stall is not only plaster but wainscoted and finished in '4 solid ogk, with ventilation a the bottom, brought from the roof. A perfectly equable temperament is maintained the year rond. At the rear of the barn is the im mense granary of soid stone. A mac adamized walk runs all around the castle, and this is all rocfed over, forming attractive verandas; these ver andas are literally enmeshed in sum irer with the choicest of vines and flowers. In the front is over an acre of green velvet lawn; all about are beds of ilowers. In the front is over I an acre of glittering sand, while foun tains are playing in every available spot. :In this department are kept the C finest stallions; Hamburg, valued at $75,000; Tammany, Ogden, Bathamp ton and Inverness, costing Marons Daly over $250,000, but which no sum could purchase from him now. All are well known as royal stallions and winners of the largest prizes ever offered. Here are also quarteredi the cream of the brood mares-over 200 in all, together with foals, to whom the racing men of America look for world-beaters. The standard bred or trotting de partment is located in the lower lands and over 1000 acres is devoted to it. Like the thoroughbred department, everything is in the most elaborate and convenient form. Paddocks, barns, all built with an eye to the greatest convenience, but still pleasing to look at, both outside and inside. There are about 100 brood mares and the I foals there. The entire ranch, every department, is connected by telephone with the stock farm office, which is in Hamiltoi, in the rear of the "Ravalli County Ba nk. FAMED FOR ITS DOGS. Another thing for which the ranch - . is famous is its dog kennels, which - I are all grouped around Tammany f Castle. The - different strains and breeds are well known to dog fanciers. One can almost pick out the dogs in Butte which have come from Daly's I kennels, so superior are they. Au - other sight well worth seeing are the v hatcheries and fowl coverts, also situ - ated on the plateau. Every kind of a pigeon is to be seen here; every kind of game cock flourishes and English I and China pheasants aboand. The - pea fowls add a picturesque touch. y As for domestic fowls not a breed can ,e be named which s not here repre I sented. A pechliar thing is thWe hun 1 dreds of quail in the fields all over the U I r-ncb. Mr. Daly imported them from - Is California and they are multiplying it beyond his most sanguine hopes. - e From a very brief description some e idea of the magnitude of operations on r r Daly's ranch may-be gained. But no! r e one can arrive at an idea of the beauty; s of the place unless he visits it. Weeks r coild be pleasantly spent visiting the le different departments. It has so far, e stock and all, cost Mr. Daly over $4, n 000,000, but it will repay him a thou t- sand fold, although that part he does e not care about. He has turned the - desert into a park and has haut~ a home that might well be the envy o~ -1 kings. t CURIOUS FACTS. aThe wife of a New York merch t e has paid $800 for a cat. e was made in ithe SNile VWlley years ago an . cess e lost. - j t Toads become torpid in wi ter and ,hide themselves, taking no ood for ' five or six months. - Au old man named Anton Kam, who y died recently in an Austrian almshouse, y was found to' be worth $5,000,000. te e A sign of .politeness in Thibet onuL .meeting a person is to hold up the -clasped hand .and stick out the tongue. . r The British soldier's dress was not always red.
