SALE.—The subscriber offers for sale his superior Short

it; in color, he is a deep red with white marks; in temper, ex¬ 
tremely mild and easily managed. He is an excellent stock- 
getter, and would not now be offered for sale, but that the sub¬

need of his services.

ULES FOR SALE. — The subscriber 
keeps constantly on hand 400 to 500 MULES, of all sizes. 
Among these are some of the choicest animals in t he United 
States ; 16 hands and over in height, and well proportioned. 
Mules are almost the only working animals used in portions of 
the Southern States, the West Indialslands, and Spanish posses¬ 
sions, where severe work and hard usage are allotted them, and 
under which horses would soon die. An equal advantage would 
follow their introduction among farmers and others, in the 
northern States. They are not only much hardier than horses, 
but they will draw more in proportion to their weight; will en¬ 
dure a great deal more ; live twice as long, and eat less; and the 
only dressing or currying they need, is a soft place to roll on 
They are gentle, tractable, and easily managed ; and nobody who 
has ever tried tnem will ever give them up for horses or oxen.
