He gets his ears stuck, his neck scratched and his throat cut up, when there is just as much, just as green, and just as high and luxuriai;: grass right under his very hoofs. Did it ever occur to you to ask the question ques-tion why he does that? There is a reason it's because he's a mule. The same logic and reasoning applies tio people in many communities who insist on buying their needs in some other town, from peddlers, or niacin- blame where blame is due.
