"I raire nothing but the purest strain of black, mammoth jjckf. In my experience 1 think I have dtscovtred tr.at the berl is bone too good; In the long run they are less trouble, puy a ireater pioiit, are easier to lak rare of and never all for a market. 1 fetl that I would like to tell farmers who experlnent with lor-giaded stock that they arc dlasiiatinc their re sources. There 1 nothing to this second class protoiOtlow any time anywhere. From a second-cls.ss man to a sheep, they are all the same lots of trouble to raise and not worth much when you do get them full grown. I'm from Missouri, and I am used to routes. My Idea In going into the Jack breeding busintsa Is that I euuld promote the mule industry In these western states. The horse business ia being looked after by men Ju.-t as goad as I am. And I find that the class of mare out h re In the t west la about the equal of those In the central Plates. There was no one looking after the mules, and I thought tnat was my sphere. Besidts that, a mule is really more serviceable than a horse. When the Joke writers, who ought to be in the cult corral with the thing they make fun of, att through pokiDg fun at the mule, we will wake up to find that we have been abusing' one of the best animals we have In America today. Uncle 8am baa found that In tbe Pltilipplnea, Cuba, throughout the souLa, In the army in fact, anywhere you put him, the mile give greater service than a horse, lasts longer and In the end Is more economical. A mule, too, is more Intelligent than a horse. Out here In the west a mule la used oa all the combined harvesters; on the railroad construction work, and wherever there Is a great deal of work to be done with less show and ir.ore get there to it. A horse prances around. looks pretty, Is petted, while a mule gets down to his work and does It. There is no qvestion that a good mule, of good strain, is worth any two horses that ver came on a farm. Money la Males. 'Sometimes I have more than 100 mules. But Just as soon as I get accustomed to a bunch of them along comes somebody and wants a half dozen or so. I bate to let 'em eh after 1 eel used to them. Most al ways it's a contractor who wants a real good animal to do aome real hard work and hasn't time to fool wtlh horses. Then again lt'a the government. 1 gvej. along right smart, too. that way. I raise and ell almost every year from seventy-five to 109 mules and It counts up. You see my mules are all first class strain, and for young, unbroken stock I get as high as I2i a head. This Is about the same price s we get in Missouri. But It Is pleasanter living out here. I've got a prettier home for the same money than 1 could get In Missouri und the aide chances for monei making are better here than back east. 1 like the mountains, the river, the clear, blue sky, and the mild summers and win ten.. I get along first rate. And I am making aome money every day, loo. "My Jacks 1 sell to farmers. A lot, of them will go In together and buy a Jack for breeding purposes. For those I get a sure gnt out of my line when I went Into the sheep businee "No lr. 1 stick to mules. Mules are a I rlBht. And for about r x months It took al! of them to pull me out whple on that sheep business " And he smlld. Rear la Maay l.laee. j Mr. Craven is a 1, .!. -nan. FlrH of all I he has his tr,u.

That way I am really doing some good, the way I like to do It. You see there Is a w hole lit In doing, what you like to do. I'd rather take less money to do a Job 1 want to da anyway than more to do some thing i don t want to do. And I do like to raise mules and Jacks. I won't let a poor strained animal live on the place, from a sheep to a mule; from a mule to a mansiiot no ue for them. I get along with the thorvughbreue, all right, and they don't sting me. 'This climate out here is fine for tnul.it and stork farina. There's Co anl.nal tuber culosis. The animals thrive, uo well, and I don't have many loaaea. It's a nice, clean buairuas and I like it.

You see. it was like this; sas to myself; 'there's lots of people lii Idahs. loo.' tt I saya la myself: 'I can make It. too." Weil. I bought about a thousand head.

This project is Carey Act land; and the Carey Act is the fairest measure ever passed by THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS. OTHER PLACES IN THE WEST declare that five acres Is enough for one man and his family to cultivate when put into fruit. On the TWIN FALLS TRACT we say that TEN ACRES ARE ENOUGH. Listen: Wheat has yielded as high, as 78 bushels to the acre. Sixty bushels to the acre Is a fair average yield. Fifty bushels Is a common record. Potatoes yield as high as S50 bushels to the acre In the Snaae River Valley. Five hundred bushels to the aere is a common yield. Alfalfa yields as high as 9 tons to tbe acre. Five tons is a common report; Is Indeed the lowest average. Red apples do so well that one man (name on application) netted 1100.00 per acre from ten acres oaiy four years old. Timothy yields as high as 3 tons to the acre; clover up to 5 tons to the acre; oats as high as ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY BUSHELS to the acre.
