Mules pont cost nothin*. When the question was put to a nativte, “What does it; cost to raise a mule in Mississippi,’’.his answer was “It don’t cost nothin'.” It may be his southern hospitality was not taking into account the minute items of a mule’s bill of fare. However, it is safe to say a mule can not be produced cheaper in any other section of the United States. The bluegrass region of Kentucky, far famed for fine mules, with its 1250 land, can not compare with the alfalfa pastures of Mississippi, where land can be bought at S2O to S4O per acre, as a profit producing country for the mule industry. Under favorable conditions oats yield 40 to 60 bushels and corn 50 to 100 bushels per acre. Cottoli mules are $125 to $175 and sugar mules are $175 to $250 each. This section is just awakening to its live stock possibilities. C. C. Clay, Mason, Miss. * W. H. PULLIN, Agt. Rensselaer, Ind. Notice of Filing Estimates For 1909.
