Tho forest nrejirobloni In Florldn,

Over hnlf tho mules sold on tho
mnrkot nro "cotton" mules. Most of
them nro bought from December 1 to
Hnrch 1 by tho southern plantors, or
tho dcnlers who supply them. A

nlthougli nn extra lnrge ono 1b not

Dut tho mulo that brings tho high

most any color will do for a "mlno" '

ho remains Just whlto enough to

one white mule In n mlno will crcnto

Then thero nro "sugar" mules nnd
"rice" mules, used on sugar nnd rlco
plnntntions. Tho "sugar" mulo Is n
big, fancy priced animal, but tho
"rlco" mule need only bo rugged.
Mules used In tho lumber camps nro
cnlled "loggera." The principal re

Almost any kind of a mulo will do

Mules are high in price now. A
good, big "construction" mulo sells
for $225 in Kansas City. A well
matched pair of "advertisers" will
bring $500.
Why Is there such n demnnd for tho
mulo? Tho reason Is not fnr to seek;
Tho "fool mule" of tho comic paper Is
not such n fool aftor all. Ho takes
euro of himself and tho bum men of
nny big teaming company will toll
you n pair of mules will outlast two
or throo pairs of horses nt hard work.
A mulo could give nn athlete points on
training. Ho will not overeat or over
drink. Aftor hard work ho will not
eat or drink until rested. Ho seems
to know that ho cost his owner no
small sum and will not allow n care
less driver to overwork him. Ho Is
not of a nervous temperament and
loses no energy worrying, as n horso
docs. To the diseases that attack
tho homo In the south he Is Immuno.
Everything considered, tho domnud
for tho mulo Is n Just tributo to his
usefulness. Mlssourlans should have
