There are several advantages which the breeding of mules, the draft ani mal of the South, offers over horse breeding. These reasons are in part those which make the breeding ot draft horses the most profitable for the Northern farmer. Heavy horses are not popular in the South and pos sibly there are certain climatic rea sons for this; and. therefore, we must either breed light harness or saddle horses or go to the mule. The breed ing of these classes of horses requires greater skill and care, a larger invest ment for breeding stock and heavier expense in training and fitting for market. In mule breeding a cheaper grade of mares may be used, while at the same time they are the host type of farm work horses and the young ani mals are more easily raised, go on to the market at an ealier age and re quire no special fitting or education to render them salable. We do not agree that a mule can he raised as cheaply as a steer, nor that mule raising is likely to he the most profitable on rough cheap lands, with out abundance of feed and good Intel, ligent care; but on good lands which will produce good pasture and with liberal feeding, the raising of mules at present prices, offers profits no less attractive than 15-cent cotton and T? cent corn. Counting the work which I lim brood mnri*x ami tho young mules will do. and which is so much needed on our farms in order to cultivate them economically, the average cost of raising a mule need not be more than onehalf the average selling price, in recent years. Counting the depreciation in the value of a mare and the interest on the money Invested in her at $20 a year, allowing $10 as the service foe of the jack and calculating one mule COit to two marcs, we have $50 as tho cost of the mule colt. If to this we add $2."> a year for his breeding, we have a two-year-old mule at a cost of $100; or a three-year-old mule at a cost of $12.r.. Of course, it will cost more than $2;"? to properly grow a mule from 2 to It years of age, but during this time he may be broken and earn in work performed a good share of his keep. Even on this liber al estimate a profit of from $7."> to $100 may be made on each 3-year-old mule. This alone, even though there wero no other reasons why we should grow more, should ho sulficlent .to in duce any farmer to consider tho di rect piuflto of mule raising most fa vorably.?Raleigh (N. C.) Progressive Fanner and Gazette. W. B. KNIQHT ATTORNEY AND COUNSELLOR AT LAW LAURAS, S. C. Office up-Stairs in Barksdale Building next door to Palmetto Bank. liow to Get Rid of Mosquitoes. The fust thing to do is to see that there arc no unnecessary pools of water, to offer breeding places, near the premises. An Interesting and hope ful fact connected with malarial mos quitoes is that they do not Hy for great distances. .Many mosquito scourges have resulted from the cure less disposal of water about the back premises. If it is impossible to drain and till breeding places, the only recourse is to thoroughly screen the house and promptly kill ail insects that find their way into the house. This may be don.', if numbers justify it, by burn ing pyrethrum powder in the infected room. Persons suffering from malaria should be protected from the bites of the malaria-bearing mosquito, for in this way the infection is spread. So far as present knowledge goes this is tho only way by which people become malarious.?Mrs. P. L Stevens, In Ita. lelgh (N. C.) Progressive Fanner and On/ dte.
