(c)How many sets of Malkos will one receive for planting Kilayim in one's vineyard?
(d)Why is retaining Kilayim in a vineyard not subject to Malkos?
1)
(a)With regard to K'lai ha'Kerem, besides planting, the Mishnah also lists - the Isur of retaining.
(b)We learn from the Pasuk in Ki Seitzei ...
1. ... "Pen Tikdash ... " - (which is the acronym of 'Tukad Eish') that Kil'ai ha'Kerem must be burned, and is therefore Asur be'Hana'ah (See Tos. Yom-Tov).
2. ... "Lo Tizra Karm'cha *Kilayim*" - that one is only Chayav Malkos for planting two different species together in a vineyard (see Tos. Yom-Tov & Tiferes Yisrael).
(c)For planting Kilayim in one's vineyard, one will receive - two sets of Malkos.
(d)Retaining Kilayim in a vineyard however, is not subject to Malkos - because no act has been performed.
2)
(a)Which of the above specifications does not apply to K'lai Zera'im?
(b)What does the Tana say in this regard about ...
1. ... K'lai Begadim?
2. ... K'lai Beheimah?

(a)K'lai Zera'im on the other hand - may be eaten (and are certainly not Asur be'Hana'ah).
(b)The Tana rules that ...
1. ... everything but wearing is permitted with regard to K'lai Begadim.
2. ... one may rear and retain (see Tos. Yom-Tov) K'lai Beheimah, and that only interbreeding is forbidden.

(a)What does the Tana mean when he concludes 'K'lai Beheimah Asurim Zeh ba'Zeh'?
(b)Based on which principle do others permit it?
3)
(a)When the Tana concludes 'K'lai Beheimah Asurim Zeh ba'Zeh', he means - that one is forbidden to interbreed a mule whose mother is a horse and father, a donkey, with one whose mother is a donkey, and father, a horse.
(b)Others permit it, based on the principle - 'Chosheshin le'Zera ha'Av' (we contend with the seed of the father [see Tos. Yom-Tov], a principle with which our Tana does not agree.
4)
(a)How does the Yerushalmi, based on a 'Kal va'Chomer' from K'lai Begadim, conclude that one is forbidden to ride on a mule (which is a cross between a horse and a donkey)?
(b)How does the Yerushalmi reconcile this with the Pasuk in ...
1. ... Shmuel (in connection with the sons of David, after killing Amnon) "Vayirk'vu Ish al Pirdo, Vayanusu"?
2. ... Melachim (in connection with the coronation of Shlomoh) "Vehirkavtem es Shlomoh B'ni al ha'Pirdah asher Li"?
(c)How do we know that it is permitted to ride on a mule (in spite of the Yerushalmi)?
(d)Why should one nevertheless be careful not to lead two mules together?
4)
(a)The Yerushalmi concludes that one is forbidden to ride on a mule (which is a cross between a horse and a donkey) - because if one is permitted to wear wool and linen one on top of the other, but not together, then how much more so a mule, which is born from a horse and a donkey, which are forbidden to lead one next to the other (see Tos. Yom-Tov DH 'Asurim Zeh im Zeh', which covers most of the points raised by the Bartenura).
(b)The Yerushalmi, to reconcile this with the Pasuk in ...
1. ... Shmuel (in connection with the sons of David, after killing Amnon) "Vayirk'vu Ish al Pirdo, Vayanusu" - explains that we cannot learn from kings and princes (see Tos. Yom-Tov).
2. ... Melachim (in connection with the coronation of Shlomoh) "Vehirkavtem es Shlomoh B'ni al ha'Pirdah asher Li" - explains that this was the mule that Hash-m created during the six days of creation).
(c)We know that it is permitted to ride on a mule (in spite of the Yerushalmi) - by the fact that many sages tend to do so, and nobody objects.
(d)One should nevertheless be careful not to lead two mules together - in case the mother of one of them is a horse and the father, a donkey, and the other one, the reverse (as we explained earlier).
