The Value of the Mule.
The value of a good jack canno.
be estimated except by people in ac
tual contact with the subject, but,
from the entry of jacks at the late
Tri State Fair. I should judge they
were of much value; but, as most of
the entries were from north of our
fair, I couldn’t gain much informa
tion as to their real value to the
Southern farmer. In my opinion,
they should prove a good investment,
and, with more attention to stock,
food and good pasturage, the result
should be very profitable. The pur
chase of broken-down and unsound
mares for bre°dir.g purposes should
be discourage 1. and only the best
and strongest mare should be chosen.
I saw two beautiful mare mules at
the fair, weighing 1,467 to 1,528
pounds each. 4 years old. and they
were from French coach mares that
were sound in limb and wind. The
dam of each was probably valued at
f.700 or more, but look at the income
on the investment, as I heard the
owner refuse 1400 each. There is no
reason why these same mares
could not produce one foal each year,
just as good The Southern farmer
has no coach mares to breed jacks to,
and generally we find some poor, old,
thin. broken-down unsound mare
in foal to a good jack, and the
general result is—the answer that

follows the question, "What do you
get out of a business?" Just what
you put into it. Therefore, the real
value of a good jack must be based on
how you go about it. Always buy the
best, not the cheapest, ttreed only
to first class mares, and in a short
time the country will point to all the
best mules bred about these parts as
coming from your jack. And you
can get your own price for the best
any time, if not from the native deal
er, from the up-countrj one at any
rate. Five hundred to one thousand
dollars invested in a good jack will
bring more income on the invest
ment than the same amount vested
in any other venture on a farm.—
Oklahoma Farmer.
Did you ever try to keep an account
of your expenses for a year on the
farm? Do you have any idea what it
costs you to live a year? When you
buy from your merchant on time un
til your crop is made, did you ever
figure out how much profit he makes
out of your labor during the year?
If you could pay cash for all you ex
pend what would be the difference
between the amount you pay for
credit and cash payments?
In Clarke county, Mississippi, the
local Farmers' Cnions are co-operat
ing in the corn club movement, hav
ing a committee to aid Superintend
ent George B. Parker in arranging
for an enlargi-ment of the work this
year. As has been repeatedly said,
the educational feature of the union
is one of its strongest features, and
it cannot be directed in a direction
that promises more good than In this.
The union could be of splendid ser
vice in every county where the corn
club and home culture clubs have
been organized, and it is gratifying
to see it being done.
Farm Hands Should Marry.
The man who works on a farm for
others makes a mistake if he allows
his twenty-fifth birthday to so by with
out having a wife and a bit of land of
his own. If he has learned his job
well he has provided for half the
battle of farming, and if lie has only
a few hundred dollars laid by it will
do for a start. He can rent if he can
not buy, but good improved little
farms can be had on pretty easy terms
these days It's better to be your own
boss and not depend on the whim of
somebody above you for your job
And a man past 25 and still a bat chef

Spokes and Tires.
John I). Rockefeller has one virtue
which even his greatest critics won’t
deny him: lie doesn't affect public
dinners. The secret of this abstinence
he recently confided to his family
physician.
"In the first place," he said, “I
can't eat much, as you know "
'Tlut you don’t have to eat at such
feasts," protested the doctor.
“I'm aware of that," replied J. D.,
"but you do have to sit through the
speeches, and if there's anything 1
dread it's that sort of thing. To my
mind an after dinner speech is like a
bicycle wheel; tin longer the spoke
the greater the tire’'

JOHN C. GIBSON, at
SULPHUR ROCK, ARK.
In Cromwell’s
Time
By FRANK H. SWEET
’Twas the 5th of September, ’51, as
I rode up the Newbury road. It
seemed that years rather than a few
days, had passed since I fought with
my liege on ill-fated Worcester field.
And now in the bitter anguish of my
heart, 1 cursed the fates that had made
Cromwell ruler of England, and my
king an exile from his land.
Thus ran my thoughts, when a sud
den scream came from the road be
hind.
Hastily tightening my armor, I
wheeled my horse and waited. Around
a bend in the road came two men, and
betwixt them a maid, quite sad and
forlorn. The sight of their Puritanic
garb set the blood tingling in my
veins.
“Whence came you. sir?" demand
ed he who appeared to be in com
mand; “you look jaded."
“Verily. Master Rowe,” sneered the
other, casting a suspicions glance at
me, “he seems surely spent, as though
he had ridden from afar, from Worces
ter field.”
Put I cared not to disclose myself
so early in the play, and so turned to
them with a light laugh.
“Softly, softly. Master Rowe," I an
swered. “all in good time. But whence
take you the maid?”
"She hath a ribald tongue, even for
a royalist, and dost this night, with the
help of God, lodge in Newbury jail,”
he answered.
Mechanically I gave my name in an
swer to their questioning glances, for
I was looking at the maid, from the
dainty poise of her head to the modest
show of ankle 'neath her gown. Al
ready 1 knew7 my heart w'as no longer
my own, and the wistful look she bent
on me searched out my very soul.
Awhile 1 sat in silence. Then 1
threw myself from my horse and
walked past them, they making reluc
tant way for me.
“What name, child?” I asked.
"Margaret Grant, sir,” she answered
prettily, dropping me a courtsey. Then,
with a sudden defiance: "1 believe in
my king—"
"Say no more, child." 1 interrupted;
"and care you to go to Newbury?”
“Nay," she made answer, drawing a
pace nearer me. 'Twas entirely tin
looked for. this act of confidence, and
it set the red blood dancing merrily in
my veins.
“Then,” quoth I, unsheathing my
sword, "with the help of God you shall
not go.”
In an instant the two had drawn.
"Have a care," blustered one Puri
tan, "thou art resisting the lord gen
eral. Master Hue."
“ 'Tis no new sensation," I answered
lightly. "'Twas but yesterday 1 resist
ed him at Worcester field.”
The rogue went white to the lips at
my words, and drew back a step. Put
Master Rowe, made of sterner stuff,
without more ado, faced me.
Twas a bout quite handily waged.
Thrice he foiled me, but on the fourth
attempt I found him. and his life went
out in a spasm of agony.
'Twas scarce done when the second
Puritan, who, perchance, had been but
hiding his time, sprang at me. The
maid’s frightened cry was my warning,
and 1 turned in time to receive his on
set. At last he rolled into the road by
the side of his fellow knave.
'Twas but the work of a moment to
seize Margaret around the waist and
swing her into the saddle be tore me
Something in the touch sent a hot
wave through my body, and scarce
knowing what I did. 1 bent forward in
the saddle and kissed her full < n tin
lips, i'lten digging my rowrds into my
horse we sprang away, but not before
her dainty hand had left a livid, smart
ing imprint on my cheek.
My face flushed crimson over the in
suit I had offered her, and I felt her
body tremble in the arm I was forced
to keep about her waist Anon I
thought she was weeping, and my soul
rose up in anger against me
"Fool that I was," 1 muttered, gaz
ing ruefully at the pretty curve of
throat and chin, "aye, fool."
"Nay," she made reply, in a voice
that set Jay heart beating wildly,
"only a trifle indiscreet."
Slowly, ever fearfully, [ tightened
my arm around her waist and gradual
ly drew her head toward my shoulder
Gently I turned her face, until her
eyes looked into mine, and 'twas a kiss
that sealed our love.
Do This Better Abroad.
"When all is said and done," began
the Englishman, "your Uncle Sam
might improve on the way he manages
his postal service, you know. You see
what I mean? For instance, this way
he has of returning letters to you
that you have forgotten to put stamps
on. Eh? Frankly, that is the worst
thing he does Yesterday I lost a deal
by the return of a letter that should
have gotten to the man on time, flack
it came, the stamp rubbed off. Either
1 fotgot it, or it rubbed oft somehow.
Eh? I’pon my word, a thing like* that
couldn't have happened in England.
The man who gets the letter pays the
extra postage, or the whole of it, If
you have forgotten your stamp. And
he does it very gladly, too, if it's an
important letter such as this one 1
ent yesterday. You see what I mean?
Eh?"
Paradise!
