I'm from Missouri, and 1 am used to mules. My idea in going into the jack breeding business is that I coul omote the mule industry in these weste states. The horse business is being looked after by men just as good as I a And 1 find that the class of mares out h:re in the west is about the equal of those in the central Wiates. There was no one looking after the mules, and I thought that was my sphere. Besides that, a mule is reaily more serviceable than a horse. When the Joke writers, who ought to be in the same corral with the thipgs they make fum of, gt through poking fun at the mule, we will wake up to find that we have been ebusing one of the best animals we have in America today.

A horse prances around, looks pretty, is petted, while a mule gets down to his work and does it There is no question that a good mule, of good strain, is worth any two horses that ever came on a farm.

You see my mules are all first class strain, and for young, unbroken stock 1 get as high as 320 a head. This is about the same price as we get in Missouri, But it is pleasanter living out here.
