The reader will, if he has not aln ad asked thepu-tion, ask : where lies tlx- evil of rais ing mules ? Are tin y not more ea.-ily raised than horses, more durable, more lasting, and more aarticularlv adapted to roach negro , ., .. , , .i m - serv ice : i nr remre, wnere nes tne evn m rtiising them in preference to horses lint h t us look at the suhject. in refer ence to tin- future, ns well as the past and present, and I think it will appear to a re flecting mind as one of the greatest of evils and indeed one of the greatest of curses to the country. While the tendency of the latter is to increase the number and render them cheap, that of the bitter gradually is to lessen the number mid enhance the price. When we remember that unlike horses, they are a hybrid, and ineapable of propagating their species, it requires no great stretch of the imagination to see-, that if the mule mania continues a few vears loneer, the aaarl disastrous f taiatqili attm will bo the result. Urood mares will become seareer every year, until we shall be entirely at the mercy of Keutueky, and such prices de manded for mules as will open our eree to the n al cause, and force us back to the good old practice of raising horses. There are not now one-fourth as manv brood mares in this District as there were ten vears turn. ! Hut that does not here stop, nor will it do otherwise than grow more enormous every year, unless the system it-e!f is abolished. In consequence of the stimulus wo give to Kentucky to raise mules, brood mares are there becoming scarce, and it is not uncom mon for stock raisers in that State, even now, to procure there from adjoining States. If the system were carried OB without hin drance, if there were not a prohibitory priee, beyond which we could not be re munerated to go, the time would come and at no very distant day either, when we con sider tin- ordinary lite time of a hors wheat the whole race of bonsea would be ex tinct. Under the system as now carried on, we see nothing in the future but high prices. In five years, tin y would be worth four hun dred dollars, and in ten years, not less than five or six hundred: bv whic h time, we shall be forced if wo do not voluntarily before to r turn to the old custom. It is to be hoped, however, that a new era is about to draw upon us. that the State Agricultural Society, combining as it will, the wisdom and foresight of the State, will take this subject into serious consideration. There is involved in it an interest of im mense importance, and the sooner the tide in favor of mules is checked, the better for all classes of our people. If that Society applies its funds to the encouragement of mule raising, as former Societies have done, it will never be able to compensate the State for the injury inflicted. There is a- & . i , ooui mm mucu sense in iestowmg pttHsww on mules, as there would be on herinnphro- dites. or on emasculated sows and fillies, or on a cross mi anv two otmosite bmaSm oi iiuiinul which could not propagate its kind, It won), In. innri. t.i tti.. intiirjir ..r ill., sit.... . . i3P - . , . o on r preuiiuuis on ine scalps oi jat us than to encourage their msmSi.

N.. it is the natural result of a most unnatural system, and will mag nify in importance, if the proper remedy i not applied, until our people will he forced to rt-ort to some other than horse power j for the cultivation of their farms.
