A Future for the Donkey.

Some day stock raisers will turn their attention to the common donkey, and with a few generations of liberal feeding, eareful grooming, and judgment In selection will raise a breed that for all draught and carrying purposes will be superior to either horse or mule. The hoofs of the donkey seem absolutely incapable of lameness, his endurance is without parallel save in the camel, and with good treatment there is no reason why the size of the breed should not be greatly increased. The donkey has a bad name, butageeof ill-treatment have given him a bad temper, which can be overcome only by kiaaasss.
