MULES DON’T COST NOTHIN. When the question was put to ft native, 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 jnules bill of fare. However it is safe to say a mule can not be produced cheaper in any other section of the U. S. The blue grass region of Kentucky, far famed for fine its 250 dollar land, cannot compare with the alfalfa pastures of Mississippi, where land can be bought at S2O to STO per acre as a profit producing country for the mule raising industry. Under favorable conditions oats yield 40 to 60 and corn 50 to 100 bushels per acre. Cotton mules are $125 to $175 and sugar mules are $175 to $250 each. This section is just awakening to its live stock possibilities. CL C. CLAY, Macon, Miss. W. H. PULLIN, Agent. Katherine Smalley and Ona H. Rohde, of Hammond, and Mary E.

Cheap Lightning Rod.

Prof. Henry, of the weather bureau at Washington, in a bulletin just issued entitled “Cheap Protection from Lightning,” declares 700 to 800 persons are killed, twice as many injured and an immense amount of property destroyed by lightning every year. He shows how lightning rods that are “inexpensive yet effective” may be put up by anybody. This is his list of necessary materials: “Enough galvanized iron telegraph wire to serve for the rod, a pound of galvanized iron wire staples to hold the .wire in place, a few connecting tees and a pound of aluminum paint.” “While iron is not so good a conductor as copper,” says the professor, “it is less likely to cause dangerous side flashes, and it also dissipates the energy of the lightning flash more effectively than does the copper.”

State Politics Beginning to BoiL.

Robert G. Tucker, of Indianapolis, has gotten into the race for the republican nomination for secretary of state, and his friends say he will make a determined fight for the place. The only other candidate mentioned thus far for this nomination is Carl Riddick, of Winamac, the present secretary of the republican Btate committee. And it is not even certain that Riddick will be a candidate, although the general understanding is that he will be. The entrance of Tucker into the race for the nomination may mean a big fight along certain lines. Tucker is the Indianapolis correspondent for the Cincinnati Enquirer, and his political “dope” which he serves to that paper every Sunday is read with a good deal of interest over the state. He has been an Indianapolis newspaper man for years. He was such an ardent supporter of James E. Watson for governor last year that many people believed that he was to have something good out of it—probably that he would be appointed Watson’s private secretary in case of his election as governor. Tucker knows all of the politicians in the state, and it is believed that he has received some encouragement from them to enter the fight for secretary of state. Riddick was believed to have no opposition for the nomination until Tucker’s name was posted, and it was thought he would get the nomination unanimously in return for the hard work which he has done in the last two campaigns as secretary of the state commitete. " He and chairman Goodrich have worked together in politics for several years, and he knows the game all the way through. There is a large element in the party which believes that Riddick is entitled to the nomination by reason of his faithful service; if he stays in the race it is altogether likely that it will be a hot one.
