HORSES, DONKEYS, & MULES

by Patricia L. Cook Horses, donkeys, and mules are similar, related animals. The biggest differences are in their chromosomes. (Now, if you want to study the genetics, research it elsewhere, not in Tidbits!)

• Horses have 64 chromosomes; donkeys have 62. When mated they produce mules or hinnies that have 63 chromosomes. A mule is the offspring of a mare (female horse) and a jack (male donkey). The offspring from male horses (stallion) and female donkeys (jinnets) are called hinnies. Most people just lump mules and hinnies together and call them mules.

(We’ll call them mules in most of this article.)

• Mules are hybrids, each having one donkey and one horse parent. They can be male or female but they can’t reproduce because of the odd number of chromosomes; they are sterile (99.9% sterile). Very rarely, 1 in 1 million, female mules have given birth but no male mule has ever been known to sire a little one. Male mules actually need to be gelded or castrated so they are more sociable, mild mannered and, hence, safer for their handlers.

• Other names used for mules and hinnies are: Johns or Jacks (male) and Mollies or Jennys (female). turn the page for more!

• Have you heard the term “longears?” It is an endearing term used for donkeys and mules. Horses have small ears, donkeys and mules have long ones. Mules’ ears are not quite as long as donkeys. A hinny’s ears are shorter and much wider than donkey ears.

• The tails of mules, donkeys and horses are different. Donkey tails are similar to cow tails with a tuft of hair on the end.

They are not as long as the tails of horses and mules. Tails of horses and mules have long thin hair that goes all the way to the end of their tails.

• When a horse is scared or “spooked,” it will run but a donkey will either stand and defend its ground (fight) or just simply “freeze.” So, what does a mule do?

It can choose either one since it is part horse and part donkey!

• Donkeys and mules are considered more intelligent than horses. When they “freeze” it is part of their “well-developed instinct for self-preservation.” Considered stubborn, most experts think they are just thinking over the situation at hand and are not likely to put themselves in danger. Horses allow themselves to be worked until they are exhausted; mules won’t. According to ruralheritage.com, “a mule will trust its own judgement before it trusts yours.”

• Mules, as with most hybrids, were bred to join the desirable qualities of donkeys and horses. They get their strength and stamina from horses and their patience, sure-footed gate and intelligence from donkeys.

• Even when working regularly mules and donkeys live longer than horses. A farm mule can work hard for 18 years, where a horse is only good for about 15. Mules that are well cared for and do lighter work have been known to live for 30-40 years.

Tools 4 life

By DR. Jim coyle Things Must Work In Me Before They Work For Me Have you ever tried to do something because it worked for other people and you want their results? There are thousands of diets that are designed and produced to try to curb your diet. There are thousands of exercise routines that are all guaranteed for you to get in shape. There are thousands of products to help you quit smoking, drinking, and other addictive habits. Billions of dollars are spent on products from infomercials or commercials to get you to change into something new and different. BREAKING NEWS!!!! Things must first work in me before they work for me.

Let’s talk about God.. “When you received the Word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the Word of God, which is indeed at work IN you who believe.” 1 Thessalonians 2:13. Knowing God is not about joining a religion or a church so you can be part of something. It is about an inward change of our heart.

When we believe, we chase the heart of God. The results are working in us before they work for us. If we want His blessings we must meet His conditions.

www.seeds4seniors.org Father: Let me see your report card.

Son: I don’t have it.

Father: Why not?

Son: My friend just borrowed it. He wants to scare his parents.

“My favorite animal is the mule. He has more horse sense than a horse.

He knows when to stop eating and he knows when to stop working.

-- Harry S. Truman The United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, has three mules that serve as mascots for the Army Corps of Cadets. Mules reflect “the long-standing usefulness of this animal in military operations -- hauling guns, supplies and ammunition.”The first Army mule was chosen when the need was seen for a mascot when Army played Navy, whose mascot is a goat, in the rival football game in 1899. The football rivalry started in 1890.

(continued):

• Most donkeys and mules are used for work on farms and trail rides, either packing humans or cargo. They are considered “beasts of burden.” The term, defined as “animals used for transporting loads or doing other heavy work,” is also used for elephants and oxen.

• Mules are used by the U.S. Army to carry supplies in Afghanistan and other places where the terrain is difficult.

• There are 185 breeds of donkeys, with about 41 million in the world today. Used in many places around the world, China has the most with about 11 million.

• George Washington is considered to be the “Father of the American Mule.” In 1785 he was gifted a large Spanish jack from King Carlos III of Spain. The next year, 1786, he received a Maltese jack and two jennets from French General Lafayette.

He had his prize mares (horses) bred to his new jacks and became the first mule breeder in America.

• Other famous Americans who “connected” with mules were: Buffalo Bill Cody, Mark Twain, Harry Truman, Ken Curtis and Ronald Reagan. Ken Curtis played Festus on the long-running television western, Gunsmoke.

• Not only were mules used in western ranch settings, they were used to help populate the western United States.

Mules could pull loaded wagons 30 miles per day as compared to wagons pulled by horses or oxen that could only average about five miles per day.

• The discovery of borax in Death Valley, California in the early 1890’s, lead to a major job for mules in the west. You’ve probably heard of 20 Mule Team® Borax.

Sodium tetraborate is the scientific name for borax.

• Borax is a “naturally occurring substance produced by the repeated evaporation of seasonal lakes.” It looks like cotton balls!

Nothing is added to borax for household cleaning and laundry use. The product is washed, dried and boxed. Borax is also used in other ways, such as in the glass industry.

• The removal and hauling of borax from Death Valley was not an easy chore. The nearest railroad junction for getting the product out of the valley to consumers was in Mojave, California, 165 miles away. Mules were an important part of the solution for bringing borax to market.

• The idea of using 20-mule teams started with William Tell Coleman’s borax company. (By the way, the 20-mule teams were actually 18 mules and 2 horses!)

Two teams were hitched together to form a 20-mule team that was 100 feet long.

The teams pulled two 16-foot long wagons loaded with borax and a 1,200 gallon water tank. The total weight pulled by each 20-mule team was over 36 tons.

• Between 1883 and 1889, more than 20 million pounds of borax was hauled out of Death Valley by the 20-mule teams. The mule teams were eventually replaced by a rail spur.

• The “20-Mule Team” symbol, still seen on boxes of detergent and other places, was first used in 1891 and registered as a trademark in 1894.

• The Twenty Mule Team Museum in Boron, California, has been opened since 1984. The museum offers interesting information about the borax industry and the famous mule teams.

Famous Canadians

Classifieds Of Linn County

RICK MORANIS

Frederick Alan Moranis was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on April 18, 1953. Known as Rick, he is mostly known for the nerdy characters he has played, usually wearing large glasses, and his short (5 ft. 4 in.) stature.

• Moranis started his career as a high school student in Toronto with a part-time job as a radio engineer, eventually becoming a popular deejay.

• His big break came when he landed a hit part on the popular Second City TV (SCTV) show in 1980. A requirement for actors on the show was that they had to include “identifiable Canadian content” in each episode. Moranis and his cohort, Dave Thomas, created two silly dimwitted brothers, Bob and Doug MacKenzie, who were a pair of “beer-guzzling, back-bacon-chewing hosers.”

• Thomas and Moranis played the brothers on the weekly show called The Great White North and have been credited with instilling the Canadian “eh” at the end of sentences, getting many extra laughs from their fellow Canadians and the North American fans to the south. The series spawned a feature film, Strange Brew, in 1983.

• After leaving Second City TV, Moranis was in two Ghostbusters movies, Little Shop of Horrors, and his very memorable role as the eccentric inventor, Wayne Szalinski, in Honey I Shrunk the Kids in 1989, and Honey I Blew Up the Kid in 1992. Later, in 1997, he played Szalinski again in the direct-to-video movie, Honey We Shrunk Ourselves.

• Some other films that Moranis has been a part of are: Little Giants, in 1994: Big Bully, in 1995; and he played Barney Rubble in The Flintstones, in 1994.

• Moranis lost his wife, Ann, after a battle with liver cancer in 1991. He moved from his transplanted home in Hollywood back to Canada in 1997 to raise his two children.

Moranis intended for his “retirement” to only last a few years, but realized that he didn’t miss the pressure of life in Hollywood.

• Moranis still does occasional voice work on movies, such as Brother Bear. On acting, he has said, “I’m really not an actor. I’m a guy who comes out of comedy, and my impetus was always to rewrite the line to make it funnier, not to try to make somebody’s precious words work.” He liked the ability to change lines like he did in his earlier movies.

• A few extra notes about Moranis: He was featured on the cover of the first issue of Disney Adventures magazine in 1990; he was the only cast member on SCTV who didn’t come from the Second City theatre; he had a letter published in Mad Magazine, Issue #120, July 1968, titled, “Don Martin Looks at Frogs;” and, he released a comedy/country album in September 2005, titled The Agoraphobic Cowboy.

• In 2013, eight years after The Agoraphobic Cowboy, Moranis released another musical comedy album. My Mother’s Brisket & Other Love Songs, brings music and laughter derived from his Jewish upbringing. Included songs are “Oy, The Mistakes I Made” and “I Can’t Help It, I Just Like Christmas.”

• This funny man loves to talk about his fellow Canadians: “We stand on guard at red lights, even when there is no traffic. We wait for clear, green governing lights to signal our turn and lead us on. Then we tuck our heads down, under wooly toques and worn-out scarves, one eye barely open, squinting headlong into the harsh prairie wind, cautiously, quietly, demurely Canadian.”

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver

● You might be surprised to learn that the hamburger didn’t originate in the United States. In fact, it was early Turkic people called the Tatars who first came up with the idea. When they had low-quality beef, they discovered that shredding it and patting it back together improved the flavor and texture. ● If you’re like the average American, you will eat between 25 and 30 pounds of apples this year. ● Some researchers believe that those who drink large quantities of coffee on a daily basis are self-medicating for depression. ● There is a species of frog found in Australia with an odd method of reproduction. It lays eggs like other frogs, but this particular frog keeps the eggs in its stomach, hatching them internally. When the baby frogs are fully developed, they emerge into the world via the adult frog’s mouth. c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

A Naturally Clean Home

Q: I’m making a move away from using unnecessary chemicals in my home, including cleaning products -- not just for my family’s health but for the environment. Are there alternatives to these products that I can use?

-- Janelle W., Fort Worth, Texas A: I think it’s great that you’re looking at ways to limit your family’s exposure to certain cleaning chemicals. While you might not be able to replace every cleaning product in your home, there are alternatives to commercial products ... and they’re probably in your cupboard right now. Here are five you should have on hand at all times: ● Lemon: A natural disinfectant that also imparts a pleasant scent. It’s no coincidence that many commercial products are lemonscented. ●Vinegar: More than just a good disinfectant, vinegar is effective against mold. It breaks up grease, and can be effective against some stains. ● Baking soda: In addition to being a good deodorant for the fridge, baking soda can be used to gently scour surfaces without scratching. ● Cornstarch: A gentle cleaning product that can be used to polish some furniture, clean windows, and even shampoo carpets. ● Salt: When you need more scrubbing power than soda or starch, and surface scratches aren’t a concern, salt is an excellent substitute for scouring powders.

In addition to these fairly benign cleaners, there are a few products that you should have that boost cleaning options while having a limited impact on the environment. These should be stored out of the reach of children and pets, and you should follow package instructions: ● Soap: Look for unscented soap that doesn’t contain petroleum distillates. Soap also demolishes grease, and creates a slick surface that makes it easier to wash food particles and bacteria from dishes. ● Borax: The commercial name for sodium borate, this chemical cleans and disinfects surfaces, including wallpaper and painted walls. It’s even used to attract and poison pests like roaches. ● Washing soda: Also known as SAL soda, this is a mineral called sodium carbonate. It’s used for household cleaning and is often an ingredient in laundry detergents and coffee pot descaling formulas. ● Citrus solvent: A more powerful cleaning solution, it can clean paintbrushes and help dissolve oil and grease. ● Isopropyl alcohol: Another common and affordable disinfectant straight out of your first-aid kit.

How do you safely use these ingredients?

There are more ways than I have room to describe. The back of the packages for many of these products -- like Borax, washing soda, citrus solvent and baking soda -- contain tips and instructions on safe use.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

● Here are two tips straight from my local butcher about cooking meat: First, let meats come to room temperature before cooking. It allows the meat to cook more evenly, and you won’t end up with a cold center and a burnt outside. Secondly, when your meat comes off the grill or out of the oven, give it time to rest before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the cut of meat, and you’ll end up with juicy goodness in every bite. -- JoAnn ●“Depending on how you scoop it, you can end up with too much or too little flour. Here is a tip about getting the best amount every time.

Give the flour a stir with a spoon and then lightly spoon it into a measuring cup. When it is heaped over, use a knife to level out the measure without tamping down.” -- Y.E. in Arkansas ● “Baking is a science as well as an art. It’s about interaction of ingredients and what happens when they mix in certain ways. So this is not so much a tip as a caution. Make sure of your substitutions, and use the right amounts of things. Then your cakes will be light and fluffy, and your pastry will be flaky and moist.” -- B.G. in Pennsylvania ● Berries are in season, and there’s no greater time to stock up. But don’t feel like you have to make jam out of all the berries. Freeze in a single layer and transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Later they can be popped into muffins and quick breads, as well as eaten straight out of the bag for a delicious treat. ● When searing meat on a stovetop, be sure your pan is oiled (if called for) and up to temperature. Otherwise, the meat will stick.

Funny Joke from the Front Seat A policeman in the big city stops a man in a car with a donkey in the front seat.

"What are you doing with that donkey?" He exclaimed, "You should take it to the zoo."

The following week, the same policeman sees the same man with the donkey again in the front seat, with both of them wearing sunglasses. The policeman pulls him over.

"I thought you were going to take that donkey to the zoo!"

The man replied, "I did. We had such a good time we are going to the beach this weekend!"

● On June 14, 1789, English Capt. William Bligh and 18 others, cast adrift from the HMS Bounty in a mutiny seven weeks before, reach Timor in the East Indies after traveling nearly 4,000 miles in a small, open boat. Bligh would fall prey to a total of three mutinies in his career. ● On June 13, 1895, Emile Levassor drives a Panhard et Levassor across the finish line in Paris to win the world’s first automobile race, completing the 732-mile course in 49 hours -- an average of 15 mph. His car was powered by a two-cylinder, 750 rpm, four-horsepower Daimler Phoenix engine. ● On June 15, 1904, more than 1,000 people taking a pleasure trip on New York City’s East River are drowned or burned to death when a fire sweeps through the boat. The onboard fire hose did not work, and life preservers had been filled with a weighty, non-buoyant material that sank. ● On June 10, 1935, two recovering alcoholics, one a New York broker and the other an Ohio physician, found Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.), a 12-step rehabilitation program. Today there are more than 80,000 local groups in the United States.

● On June 9, 1973, Secretariat wins the Belmont Stakes to become the first Triple Crown winner since Citation in 1948.

Secretariat’s heart was later found to weigh 22 pounds, more than twice that of a typical thoroughbred. ● On June 11, 1989, in the wake of the Tiananmen Square massacre on June 4, China issues a warrant for Fang Lizhi, a leading Chinese dissident, who had taken refuge in the U.S. embassy in Beijing. The diplomatic standoff lasted for a year before Fang and his wife, Li Shuxian, were given free passage out of the country. ● On June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson, football star O.J. Simpson’s ex-wife, and her friend Ron Goldman are stabbed to death outside Nicole’s California home. With overwhelming evidence against Simpson, including his blood at the murder scene, Brown’s and Goldman’s hair and blood in his car and bloody shoe prints found at the scene, Simpson became the chief suspect. He later was tried and acquitted.

Senior News Line

Will Social Security Be Your Only Income?

Many seniors have only Social Security for income when they retire: 22 percent of married couples and 47 percent of unmarried people have no additional income. Maybe it’s a matter of not having saved over the years, or maybe it’s having lost everything in recent years due to layoffs and unemployment.

But if you have five more years until retirement, there are steps you can take now to make living on only Social Security a bit easier. ● Clear off your debts, especially your credit cards and vehicle. If possible, pay off your home or at least get the balance down. Keep your credit score high in case you need a loan for a large purchase -- the interest rate will be lower. ● If you own your home, look at longterm maintenance. If you’ll need a new roof in the next five years, do it before you retire. The same goes for bigticket items like appliances, central air conditioning and furnace. ● If you’re willing to move, investigate states that don’t tax Social Security income and/or have a lower cost of living.

Assume that retirement won’t mean actual retiring. Be prepared to take a part-time job somewhere. You’ll be able to earn a bit before it cuts into your Social Security benefit at the rate of one dollar for every two you make.

The Social Security Administration no longer sends out the annual statement of earnings, but you can get a ballpark estimate online of what your future income will be. You can open a MyAccount, or you can use one of the calculators to estimate.

Before you make the jump and quit work, do a test experiment for at least six months. Spend only the amount you would receive under Social Security.

Create a strict budget and stay with it.

Can you do it? It will be better to know sooner rather than later.

• The first voyage by the Clermont was met by the public with suspicion. Many referred to the boat as “Fulton’s Folly” due to its unusually long length and the smoke and fire associated with the vessel’s newfangled steam engine.

Many thought it would blow up or sink on its first voyage; they were wrong! In fact, because Fulton wisely paid attention to passenger comfort, the Clermont became a very profitable vessel for transporting passengers to destinations on the Hudson River. Fulton subsequently formed and led a company offering services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. • Following Fulton’s success, steamboats became a prime transporter of passengers and goods across the country. For example, in the steamboat port of New Orleans, 20 steamboat arrivals in 1814 increased to a whopping 1,200 Answer Tidbits Word Power Puzzle below: arrivals byfor1834.

• The steamboat era in the United States continued until the 1870s, when railroads started supplanting the steamboat as the preferred transporter of passengers and goods.
