A soon as ioHHilile 1 referred to our former roiiventation and asked bim what he thought almut uiy auKpM tioiis, after mature consideration. He replied, "There may be aouie thiii(! in what you Kay and prob ably I iiiiht pet a larger crop by more inteusivo cultivation, but I have made some estimates which show that the added profits will all lie eaten up by the increased eottt Your plan calls for increased ex penses in a good many items." "1 am glud to hear you mention this, because it shows you have liceu thinkiu: the mutter over with some care," 1 replied. "Ijet us take one thing at a time. Name the principal item of increase in ex pense under intensive cultivation." "The main increase," Raid Uncle John, "is in tlio niimlwr of mules necessary to work my crop. I have .'00 acres in cotton and about 100 acres iu corn ami other crota. It takes 10 mules to do the field work and it costs mn at least J I I'll a year to keep a mule. I cau't keep a mule up for work every day for less than l'2 a month and the least time for work in a year is b mouths. For the remaiuiug six moutha the hay, crain, nnd pitsture will cost ? a mouth, inakini; l'-'O for the )ear. As I understand, your plan will reipiire as many more mule to do the work. The cot of keeping . mote mules will licftiOO. I can't all. ud it." "Yes, you can afford it," I re plied, "for it will bring yon a large profit, but you are mistaken as to the increased cost. I think your estimate on the cost of keeping mule one year is rather high. It is true that it ia expensive the way you keep animals. Your pasture are mainly weeds and brush. What grass there is doea not have much chance to get sunshine enough to mature aud In-come sweet ; hence, the richer grasses have gone on a strike aud refuse to live there, aud the tough aud UatelnM varietiea of the grass family hare taken aiuo. Your bay is poor, aud thee two cause account for your feed ing ao much grain, which ia exten sive. 1 ou are mistaken ataiui us requiring .0 per cent wore mules to do the same amouut or work, it ia true I propose to add consider able more mule power, but the bet ter injplenieula fully romtiensate, ao that each man doea double or more work per day. Thus your I" mules hitched In spans to toe tiest implement would enable ft men to do more aud better work than your 10 niules and 10 meu now do. The saving of 5 men iaaomethiug. Sup pose, however, you adopt the most improved system aud use only ma chiue method in the production ol cotton aud corn not practicable on all lauds, but eutirely ao on yours and allow IS mules for your work; there ia Mill a redurtiou in labor from yonr present system. Yon cut out the chopping aud hoe ing aud yon use fewer men with teams, ao that the cost of producing an acre of cotton would be no more than at present and the average yield would be at least threefold "Yonr plan of keeping mules is too expensive, aud you are uot alone in this. Probably there is no extravagance on Southern farms more universal than allowing the mules to eat on the profits. It ia related that ouoe a lady saw pet turkey swallow her costly diamond. In that case they killed the turkey and recovered the diamoud, but the farmer who sees his mule swal low his profits can not kill the mule and find them. A better way is to preveut bis swallowing them. The economical keeping of work ani mals depends upon three things good pasture, the best hay, and the most economical grain ration. A good pasture is well drained and is free from brush ami weeds. Sweet grasses do not grow ou wet, sour laud; they love sunshine and they are too proud to associate with low weeds. "There must lie a night pasture with an abundance of grass for the mules and a day pasture for off days and Sundays. This plan will save alsiut one-third of the hay and grain during the working sea son. Poor hay, sun baked till there is no flavor in it, is little lietter than straw. The quantity of hay an animal will eat depends largely upon the flavor. High flavored aud nutritious bay costs no more, if produced at borne, than low grade hay. As to grain, it is unwise to feed so much corn, for there are other foods more economical, tand that will produce 25 bushels of corn . ... 11, jnnA 01 -... nr IO me acre win pruuuuc j mm ui soy bean bay, equal in food value , to 70 bushels of corn; or it will pro- J duce 2 tons of eowpea hay, euml iu value to 77 bushels of com; or 2 tons of peanut hay (Hauih pea nut hay with the nuu ), equal to hi J 5 bushels of corn. It ia less labor to work an acre in either of these rroi than in corn. They re- ruili.. .,,,1 Ik. ..II i. (HIIV- ill. 1 iw 1111 icn '. mm left in lietter couditioiu Much of their value detieud upon the way they are cured. "A working day's ration for a mule with good night pasture would be: Hay, 6 pounds; soy bean bay, 10 (siuuds (or cowpea bay, H pou mis; or peanut bay, 7 pouuda); and corn, 4 pouuds. The actual cost of this ration to the farmer is about 10 cents, or I a month. For the six working months this would make lis, and for the aix remain ing months the mule can lie fed on grass aud pea Tinea, pastures, and refuse crops at almut (2 a month, making a total of t-W a year. For some years I have kept an account of the cost of fcediDg my mules oa this plan, and the total cost baa Ira below thia estimate. While we are on the mule quest ion let me suggest that it is always good econ omy to have 20 per ceut. more mules thau are actually required for the crop, so as to have an extra animal in case of accident or to have an additioual team for emer gency work." "You have made a strong argn ment for the use of mule power," said I'ncle John, "aud I waut to thiuk the matter over. Y'ou are a great friend of the mule, I see." "I am no Miever in the econo my of mule jmwer," I replied, "ex cept for the coast country ami the lumber camps. The upland farm er uses poor economy w heu be de pends 11 1 ion mules." "What would you use?" said I'ncle .'ohn. "I would use active, blocky, well bred draft mares or the hackney. The colt raised annually would pay all the expenses and my team work mould cost 1110 nothing. That is the French plan, and the peasants of France are the greatest farm economists iu the world; but we will talk almut that at another time. I must go." "t'oiiie over again," said Uncle John, quite cordially. "That horse talk nit her interests me. In the old times before the war we had horses that were horses: uow a gentleman has nothing to ride but a plow mule.' ' A Californlan'i Luck. "The luckiest day of my life was when I bought a box of Kuckleu's Arnica Salve," writes Charles t. Iiudahu of Tracy, Cal. "Two 2.1c. boxes cured me of an annoying case of itching piles, which had troub led me for years and that yielded to no other treatment."
